Someone Asks “What Wouldn’t Be Nearly As Popular If It Wasn’t For The US?” And 30 People Answer

Gender reveal party = celebrating the baby's genitals. Weird s**t, if you think about it

Most of America hates these things as well.

It's basically just another chance at gift-grabbing by attention-starved breeders (that term being used to describe entitled and idiotic people who have kids for the wrong reasons, not real parents who I applaud).

Not sure when this became a trend. No one I know ever had one - there was just the baby shower and that was it.

I put these in the same category as the "Maternity Photoshoots" where the pregnant woman tries to encapsulate the image of Mother Earth or a Wood Nymph. Plu-eze.

If they had invented it, it would have probably had unskippable ads. Lots of them!

The GPS signal used to be encrypted so only the military, with the proper key, could use it with accuracy. Another military use was the ability to send encoded messages to soldiers in the field through the GPS. Civilian companies were able to break the encryption, making it pointless to continue keeping from civilian use.

Why wouldn't a global positioning system be popular if it were from Europe or Asia?

this would have been so useful when i was an EMT running calls. damn map book.

Free? They now know your location.

"Many mistakenly think America’s Yellowstone National Park is the oldest in the world but there’s one that was created a century earlier. Established by the Mongolian government in 1778, the area surrounding Bogd Khan Uul Biosphere Reserve is actually the oldest in the world. It is located south of the capital, Ulaanbaatar, and takes three to four hours to hike. You’ll find many cultural sites surrounding the park, including the ruins of Manzushir Monastery, Buddha Park, and Zaisan Memorial."

1/3 True. 2/3 False: ... Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt was only 14 y.o. when Yellowstone, USA's first Nat'l Park, was established -- he didn't start them. ... Also, Yellowstone wasn't the first in the world . . . . . . . . . . . In March 1, 1872, Congress established Yellowstone National Park "as a public park or pleasuring-ground for the benefit and enjoyment of the people" and placed it "under exclusive control of the Secretary of the Interior." ... The founding of Yellowstone National Park began a worldwide national park movement. Today more than 100 nations contain some 1,200 national parks or equivalent preserves. . . . . . . . . . https://www.nps.gov/articles/quick-nps-history.htm

the National Park system in the US is incredible.

I thought John Muir was the father of the National Parks. At least that's what his birthplace museum in Dunbar, Scotland has it.

Truly one of the best things about living her. I love driving this country.

The patent is American (Levi Strauss, XIX Century). But that particular kind of fabric emerged around three centuries prior, between the Italian city of Genoa and the french city of Nîmes. (Edit: dates, I didn't remember the date of the patent correctly)

But not denim, interestingly.

One of my favorite song lyrics, regarding the power of culture - The Levi jean will always be stronger than the uzi.

I tell my students that the two people who made the most money off of the gold rush never saw panned or sluiced a thing. Levi Strauss and Lee Stetson.

Music, feeling, or colors?

I'll give them this one because the title says 'America' and not 'the US'. Peanut butter can traced back as far as the the Aztec.

The Dutch might have had something to do with that before the Americans did...
