“This Is America”: 50 Memes That Sum Up Life In The United States
American news makes headlines all over the world. But if we were to judge the US based entirely on what we read and hear on mass media, where the content is trying to manipulate us into clicking and scrolling, we could end up with a warped impression of the country. So let's see what average people have to say about it instead.
We at Bored Panda have searched the internet to compile a list of relevant memes about life in the United States, and are quite happy with what we found. These images made it to the forefront of social media platforms not because they were promoted by some publisher, but because they struck a chord with the users, and when put together, paint a pretty vivid picture of the place they come from.
Continue scrolling and check out America's hottest memes.

Lol- I still struggle with this when I look at American date format- I mean I get it, but my knee jerk reaction is always "wait...........there aren't that many months in a year! Genuine question- why DOES America do this- it literally makes no logical sense to me- am I missing something?

I'm in the USA but my birthday is on Canada Day. I always joke I'm Canadian because of it. I. Want. This. Cake.

This "confusion" exists because we are taught diferent at school, in the USA and Canada they are taught that this huge chunk of land (from Canada to Argentina) is divided in 2 continents: North America and South America; and in the rest of this chunk of land we are taught that it is 1 continent called America; so you will often hear any latinamerican calling themselves Americans and not North/South Americans; and to add more confusion to the subject we (latinos) split the continent in 3 sections North/Central/South America.

Some of us remain abnormal due to brain damage. If USA had a brain, we might know where to assign blame.

When an American says 'you have scary socialist healthcare because we have defense', the truth is: the US spends more per capita than any other country on healthcare, yet coverage is less than third world level. For shame.

We try not to think about you too. Kinda hard when you spend more on weaponry and war than 10 entire countries

If I recall correctly, Mountain Dew was initially created to be paired with grain alcohol from the moonshining regions of the US. Those areas are typically mountainous, which led to the name.

We are taught diferent at school, in the USA and Canada they are taught that this huge chunk of land (from Canada to Argentina) is divided in 2 continents: North America and South America; and in the rest of the world we are taught that it is 1 single continent called America, and to add more confusion to the subject we split the continent in 3 sections North/Central/South America. So from the point of view of a not US-American this european guy answer is correct.

USA got a good deal on Greater Louisiana because Nappy was short on cash to wage Europe-wide wars. How did that really work out? To me, everything between the Rockies and Appalachians is only barely habitable.

Morons openly disrespecting the very flag that they so desperately enforce their children to worship every morning. People commonly violate the Flag Code when displaying the Stars and Stripes on apparel, athletic uniforms or bedding. The only exception is made for military personnel, firemen, policemen and members of patriotic organizations who are allowed to wear a flag patch that is customized for their uniform.

Actually as an African I can say we DO like the USA. BUT we find your hypocrisy staggering. "democracy and freedom" but invade lots of other countries, ditch roe vs wade, george floyd, etc. Not to mention student debt, medical debt, flint michigan, the ORANGE ONE, drone strikes, etc. etc. You preach equality, freedom and fraternity but in practice behave much like fascists.

There's a lot to not like about the USA, but there's also a lot to love about it. Stereotyping a whole country does not bring the tolerance and reform that you would like to see. Making fun of other countries (or individual people) is both naïve and unhelpful. Lifting each other higher can only be accomplished by honest dialogue and by continuing to set a good example.

I do agree that there is a lot to love about America, but it is also worth noting that prior to the internet being used in the way it is today, I had no idea about some of the issues that plague America, that medical bankruptcy was possible, how many deaths are caused by guns, how the poorer sections of society are treated, water can be turned off if you don’t pay your bill etc etc. Surely it’s better that these issues are highlighted and those who are directly affected by them can learn more about other countries and how it doesn’t have to be like that.
