Stuff Americans say

Kenneth Copeland speaking at an event in 2011

Reddit comment thread. Three comments with usernames redacted (red and blue). First comment (redacted, 1y, United States flair): "America may be shit but it's 10000000x better than everywhere and everyone else". Reply (redacted, 1y, -8 votes): "Spoken like a true American that has never left his own state, nevermind the country." Third comment (redacted, 1y, United States flair): "I haven't left the USA cause there's no other place worth going"

Quora answer. Question in bold: "Why does America have such extreme reverence for its Founding Fathers?" Answer (username redacted, Answered Thu): "Because most of them were God fearing individuals who were guided by their Christian ethics. They were mere mortals, but allowed God to use them to establish our great Country which is the Gentile Promised Land." Up

X/Twitter thread. Original tweet shows a world map colour-coded blue for Celsius and orange for Fahrenheit - only the US mainland is orange, the entire rest of the world is blue. Reply from Nathan @jake[partially obscured]ayman (6h): "The blue ones are third world countries doesn't matter".

YouTube comment thread. Interface in German ("Offentlich antworten...", "vor 2 Wochen"). First comment (username redacted, vor 2 Wochen): "What's considered 'radical left' in the US is just 'neutral' in so many other developed countries. Insane". Reply (username redacted, vor 2 Wochen): "Yeah its crazy how fucked up those other nations are"

Reddit mobile screenshot (giffgaff carrier, dark mode). Post has. Partially visible comment about cameras and citizen patrols but still assaults occurring. YouWontLikeMeMuch (1h, -23 votes): "Why? America isn't a bike country and we really should stop pretending like it is. We are a car country. Bikes are for children and belong on the sidewalks. If you want to ride a bike as an adult as your main vehicle, go to Europe." VaBeachBum86 (1h): "Name checks the fuck out". YouWontLikeMeMuch (1h, -10 votes): "Why? I would just accept it if I was expressing my pro-Trump views, but do people really think riding bikes is something adults should be doing?! My family always makes fun of any adult we see on a bike; Thankfully not many people ride them around here, but when they do, they always seem to be riding right in the middle of the road, instead on the sidewalk where they belong. Its bad enough when I can only go 5 over the speed limit, let alone when I have to go 5 under because some guy is worried that him just driving a car will make the icecaps melt."

Reddit comment with old-style Reddit interface in French (perma-lien, source, embed, enregistrer, save-RES, signaler, repondre). bauhausds (score cache, a l'instant): "Honestly the Olympics should be USA only". Torch/flame flair icon beside username

X/Twitter thread. Original post (username redacted, 1d) with text partially visible: "Denmark is better than the USA in every way." Below is a graphic titled "This is Denmark." with stick figure, Danish flag, and bullet points: "Denmark has free healthcare and free college. Denmark's minimum wage is $25/hour and people work 35 hours/week. Denmark is the happiest country in the world. Be like Denmark." Reply from Yoh @yohanes9 (verified, Follow button): "Easy to say that... Tell me one thing Denmark contributes to the world? I bet most companies where those workers make a minimum wage of $25 work with American computers, software, etc.. I bet the free healthcare uses American trained doctors or techniques alike... America is the world most greatest nation... Without America there were not Denmark... you will probably be speaking German right now... So a little respect and appreciation to your father." 11:20 am, 1/26/25

Reddit mobile screenshot (dark mode, r/harryPotter). Post by u/Cut-Unique (2h, Slytherin flair, News tag): "It's too soon for a reboot of the original series, don't you think? But that's what Warner Brothers is considering doing. Has anyone else heard this rumor? They should take a break from the Wizarding World IMO and focus on a different franchise." PagerDuty promoted ad in middle. Below: YellowShapedBox (1h, Ravenclaw flair) and grandFossFusion (56m, Hufflepuff flair, -10 votes): "Honestly, yes. But only if they do something with the actors. For the life of me I can't take the Brits and their accent in these movies seriously. The accent ruins the mood completely, like I'm watching Monty Python. Time to hire some americans or canadians at least". 6 people here
