It’s no secret that America stands out from the crowd. There are so many little quirky American things that the rest of the world just can’t wrap their heads around. Like the word "y'all," red solo cups, free refills, and bulk shopping, to name just a few.

So when someone asked the non-Americans of Reddit what's the craziest thing they’ve heard about the greatest country in the world that turned out to be true, the question was destined to become a hit. 56.9K upvotes later, the thought-provoking inquiry generated some very surprising answers. Let’s take a look at the best ones so far down below.

To all the non-American Pandas out there, share more of these rumors-turned-facts in the comment section below!

#1

America has libraries that are essentially free to use.

(This was not even a rumor, but more like sarcastic comment from a friend who heard I was excited to go to the US, because he knew what book nerds my entire family is)

When I first arrived here 25 years ago, the first day of work at Newark NJ, I walked out at lunch time and saw the huge Central Library. The size boggled my mind, but I bravely walked in to check it out. The guy says, yup, show me your work ID (for local address) and you get a membership card.

Me: how much does it cost? I only own $80 total till I get my first pay.

He (bemused, almost laughing): it's free. You don't pay anything.

Me (after a brief recovery time from shock): so how many books am I allowed to take home? (Expecting that to be a catch - maybe I need to put down a security deposit for each book)

He (now positively enjoying himself): how many can you carry?

That day I took home 30+ books, just being greedy.

And quickly called my dad to tell him about it.

For a guy who painstakingly would browse used books stores in small town India just to get his kids great books to read, he was suitably amazed. He was puzzled if that would kill the book-store business, because who'd buy if such free libraries existed?!?

Till date I remember the gratitude I felt that day for being able to come here. And when Dad visited some years later, I would drop him off at a library on my way to work and he'd be lost in it all day.

In my country you have to pay a small membership fee. For the national library it's about $12/year. The one in my neighborhood was even cheaper. School and university libraries are free for students.

In Sweden, libraries are free. Not only that, you get access to a movie database and can stream a huge amount of movies from home if you have a library card. Also read all the world's magazines, hire e-books besides regular books. It's fantastic.

Same as in US. My local library even has educational toys, cheap passes to museums, aquariums, etc. A lot of people who live here don't even know about these things! My library also hosts fun events like police day. They ask police officers questions, see all of their different vehicles (even go inside them), and there's a barbecue with free food. I love my library!

I thought this was pretty normal worldwide? Although most libraries here have a limit of like 10 books, 5 Dvd’s, 10 magazines just for an example. They also have a due date to return them but you can call up for an extension. If you don’t return them after a certain amount of time you have a “fine” you have to pay.

A lot of US libraries were endowed by rich people back in the 1800s, so they could operate as free. Government subsidies have kept the system going, but economic shocks have reduced hours and services in many libraries.

I worked as a librarian in the USA for years. A really brilliant system. In addition to books, we had banks of computers for public use, lots of different clubs and gatherings for the purpose of education and public benefit, borrowing of lots of CDs, audio books, movies. Online help lines for information finding, homework etc. More events and opportunities than I can mention. All for free.

This is an obvious exaggeration. No library allows 30 books out at one time to any one person, but yes, they are all free...and even university libraries are open to the public. The really shocking thing here is that most Americans do not read books after they are finished with school...even college graduates. However, I agree with Kaisu...where in the world aren't libraries free?

I live in Ireland and the library is free to join and there is no fee on any book you take out. They don't even fine you if you bring a book back late. They even let you use the internet for free. But my favourite service they provide i free on line magazines. You can download an App to your phone and you have free access to hundreds of magazines, everything from the TV Guide to Harpers Bizzar. All for free.

Hi all, a little info from a librarian. No library is "free", usually a portion of your taxes go towards your local library, my library charges 35$ but I know some bigger ones that charge 50$. It all depends on population size, staff sizes and whether your library has lots of bells and whistles. For non-residence patrons we have them pay 35 in lieu every year when they renew their card.

In the US the library are paid by our taxes, so not completely free. Some libraries also charge minimal late fees, though more and more of them are dropping the fees. Libraries are one of the worlds greatest resources and I support paying taxes to keep them open. I used to buy and read lots of books, but now it is mostly audiobooks for me (Which you can get through the library, free, by the way.)

And if you're from out of town you're charged extra. On their receipts it says "you saved yourself € x by not buying your books".

There’re so many customs that Americans use without too much thinking. But when traveling around the world, some of the cultural differences become quite obvious. 

While tipping is not a matter of choice in the US, people in Japan and South Korea see that as an insult. That’s partly because workers are proud of their jobs, and they get decent pay for whatever it is that they do.

There’s nothing wrong about being a tiny bit late in the US. But in some countries, that would be totally inappropriate. If you’re fashionably late for a meeting in Germany or Netherlands, locals are likely to think that you don’t value their time as much as your own.

“Athleisure,” while a popular choice of fashion for the day-to-day business, is viewed as distasteful in many European countries. For example, Italians never miss a chance to laugh at tourists wearing flip flops or denim shorts for restaurant dinner. The sloppy appearance can be understood as disrespectful.

In an area, you're subject to a f*ck ton of different laws. There's laws that apply to the whole country, laws that apply to individual states, laws that only apply to counties, laws that apply to individual cities, and then I think, different areas within a city. In England, no matter where you are, all the same laws apply, with very rare exceptions. Homeowners associations as well. What a load of [crap]. Land of the free, but your neighbour can tell you what colour your f***king fence can be.

Well, it’s difficult to govern such a large country from one small district (DC), so you have to delegate from the federal government to the individual state governments to the county governments to the city governments. The more local you get, the more specialized the laws become as they’re tailored to issues and situations specific to the area. However, that does open areas up to corruption if the wrong people manage to gain some power. You know, like the whole f*****g country because of the deranged orange baboon throwing his feces around the Oval Office right now (who I did not vote for, so do not blame me).

Americans are nice and will stop to talk to Strangers. Canadian here living in Alberta. To any one who has never been, you will be blown away by the general Americans' generosity of their time, knowledge and helpfulness. I have done a few summers of Road trips from Calgary. one time i went to as far east as Ohio-Tennessee, as far south as New Orleans and Dallas, went through the flat lands and rode up the Rockies the rest of the way home... I have visited almost all the landlocked states (5 more to go) and 4 along the Gulf states, all by Car. I have been through a lot of big American cities and a lot of tiny towns. ALL OF YOU, North to South - make Canadians look like Bloody Savages. I expected something worse, probably because of Television and the Internet. i ended up leaving your country after the first time i visited, blown away and with a new found VERY REAL love for my southern neighbors. Been 5 times on multi-week trips. will spend time and money there again. 10/10.

Before going there, I immagined to find rude and aggressive people :)) Too many bad movies! The first time I arrived in Philadelphia my english was not very good, and sometimes I wandered looking for some shop, or the subway or whatever... and I remember men or women that tried to help and listen me patiently. I still feel gratitude for those who made me feel welcomed and safe. Philadelphia is still in my heart! I left the USA in 2011 and I don't know if that's still the case.

Yeah, it's not just not having no public transport. There are a lot of places (I lived in one) where there are no sidewalks, so you can't even walk from one place to another. And if you live in a small place, you can't get a taxi or anything else to come out and pick you up. If you don't have a car, it's almost impossible to get around in the USA. And it's not just small towns. Even big towns have no transportation infrastructure.
