Norwegian Woman Dating An American Shares 59 Things That Surprised Her About The U.S.

You are expendable.

Yes, that is stupid, and irritateting.

Fun fact: blink-182 are blink-219 with tax.

Brain washing

I get a kick out of watching people circle the parking lot looking for a spot close to the door of the gym, pool, rec- center

"It's a security feature!"

Compensating?

Keep em poor n stupid, so we can exploit them. MAGA motto.

Add iction to cheap filler ingredients cos the quality is do appalling

So we can be heard over the other loud people.

Since we don't have bidets we have to rely on splashing.

The same reason they dont use 'military time'?

That's a rather ridiculous blanket statement.

People in the 60s, 70s did. I don't think they do that anymore.

We have quite a few, it's just that the big two get all the attention.

Here is a full and sufficient reason - Legos.

Cuz it's humid?

Some, but not all. Older people are much more likely to use checks than younger people.

We have drive through liquor stores. I can't even.

Because pirates sank our set of measures in Jeffersons time, and France had problems

A good book, and fun to read. where_the_...e4d9a1.jpg

Performative patriotism. Like all the flags everywhere.

For someone like me who has mobility problems, a drive-thru is a godsend.

Toilet, restroom, bathroom, loo, water closet, the head, shítter, lavatory, powder room, men’s room, ladies room, little girls room, little boys room, cràpper…

Easier to grade. Easier to pass, too. But I agree that multiple choice is lazy and not a good way to assess knowledge.

Capitalism is the religion of the USA

Cheap filler. Much less drink if you fill the cup with ice. Rip off.

The USA has blown up another country's oil pipeline, stolen supertankers from another country, blockaded another country's tankers, organised a coup, imposed sanctions on oil, wrecked an economy, set fire to oil wells and a refinery, and blown up a supertanker. (Thats all I know about, I haven't been tracking). All to keep the oil price for other countries artificially high.

A”socc”iation football. Abbreviated to soccer. Coined by the Brits. Soccer is used by Canada, Australia, USA, New Zealand, South Africa, Ireland, Japan, Philippines…

Same as UK people acknowledging others with 'Alright?' Doesn't mean you want an answer, just means 'I see you'

We do.

Cheap filler ingredients covered in sugar and batter appeal to human taste buds. Appealing to base human tastes ripping people off with poor quality. The obesity epidemic writ large. A worldwide issue.

Cities like Los Angeles used to have excellent public transportation systems. They were bought up and destroyed by - guess who? - the oil and auto industries.

Because in most of the US getting around anywhere requires a vehicle. Other than in large urban areas there is no public mass transit infrastructure.

Fizzy drinks are one of the highest profit products sold. Actual cost is just a couple cents.

It's generally safe, saves fuel, and allows traffic to flow better.

Because we're used to it. The U.S. is big.

this is one of the good things to be fair, Scottish ppl are like this too.

We don't.

Tori, when the food is real and fresh, you NEED to go every other day or it will go bad, food that will last till the end of time is not the flex u think it is. your foods are poisons.

Who gets a month at Christmas? Our kids get two weeks. And summertime off is because our society used to all be farmers. They needed their kids to help in the fields. They need to abolish that and move to an all year school year.

DMV hands out licenses like candy. I lied that at 37yrs old I'd been driving on a british license my whole life, but I lost it and need an American license (lie, never driven in my life). My driving test was 3 right hand turns around the block and back into the parking lot, handed a shiny new license. No f*cking way you'd get away with that in the UK.

I didn't know the US does this, but as a Virgo (to avoid giving more accurate birthdate info online, not because I believe in that) in the UK, I was always the youngest in my class, and when you are pre-teen, a 6 month developmental delay behind the class average is a _huge_ disadvantage that really persists in harming your educational outcomes.

And other countries aren't? Plenty in the UK.

You can use it as a shelter after you paid the bill.

Never heard of this but sounds vile

Thomas Nast, cartoonist, created those symbols. Also created our version of Santa Claus.

With a kㅤnife? I know that I am a Brit but...yeah, with a kㅤnife.

we should make them rename it HANDEGG.

Because it's a big country.

Very small, small, medium, large, family size. We have all the sizes.

You say that like that's a bad thing.

Never been to Italy or India clearly

@tori Ohno: Counting past 12 all up to 24 confuses you? And Norwegians for example might like a word. So would maybe Alaskans... 😉

Baseball season is 8 months. Basketball and hockey are 8 months. Football is 6 months.

What does this mean?
