As an American, I get up to pledge to the allegiance in the morning, feed my pet bald eagle a Big Mac with fries, and I am drowning in debt 🦅🦅🦅🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
That eagle would not be flying broooo
Balance your budget by buying less fries

America is like someone who was gifted as a child but then never actually advanced and just grew up thinking they're better than everyone.
never before have I been so offended by something I 100% agree with
Also they think they own the continent's name
@@ethirium4389that is one hill I will die on. We aren’t the only people calling us America, we didn’t start it, it isn’t anyone’s fault, and most of us know that there are other countries on the continents North and South America
It's the number 1 world superpower so yeah while we have problems, like everywhere else. I'm very grateful to have been born here with the freedoms we are given. I mean you can get arrested in the UK for saying something mean on Twitter, are you kidding me?
@CarbonatedCondensation
Anytime a European gives us issues about our name I tell them this
the UK call themselves Britain but the British isles are alongside the UK itself comprised of Ireland the Isle of Man and Jersey why do they call themselves Great Britain knowing this?
Why does Ecuador call themselves that? It means equator there’s many other countries on the equator line!
Teacher: "Reighfyl..? Do we have a reighfyl in class?"
Kid: oh thats me.
Teacher: i dont get paid enough for this
not the only rifle in school
I'd half expect the answer to that to be a unified "yes" and then the class sprouts rifles like an army unit given the instruction to "present arms!"
A Reighfyl in the class? I hope there isn’t! 😂
Do we have a rifle in class lmfao
No, but we have a handgun.
Mr. Syzlak: Hmm? Alright, I'll check. Reighfyl! Do we have a Reighfyl in this class?
Random Student: I sure hope not!
(The whole class erupts into laughter)
Mr. Syzlak: Alright listen here, you smartass. I don't know where you get off making this kind of joke to a classroom of all places, but if you wanna make fun of people dying I'll be more than happy to make a punchline of you.

"Ambulance isn't your taxi to the hospital"
HUHH?
yeah no exactly because it should be a free ride
so i suppose ambulances just pick you up whenever you need to go wherever and taxis show up to put you in debt and bring you to the hospital....
yeah that's about right. (save for the debt part if you don't live in Americaville)
@@A_Buster9693 What are you talking about?
You call an Ambulance if there's an emergency you need to rush to the hospital,
and they're Free
That's their whole point
As an American I unfortunately have to disagree with this statement
That is quite literally the POINT of a bloody ambulance😂😂
This truly is the "home of the brave," because saying stuff like this with absolute confidence takes every ounce of bravery.
Theres a fine line in between being brave and stupid.
Land of the Free (for the rich) and home of the brave (for the ignorant).

„Can’t read military time.“ JUST. KEEP. COUNTING.
Yeah, they literally just have to extract 12. Like as 16-12=4 so 16:10=4:10. This is literally 1st grade maths.
Or, if available, look at an analog clock and count. Since 1 is after 12, we know what that should be, don’t we? That’s right, 13. Imagine an analog clock and count if that’s what you need, it’s not rocket science.
@@tovarishchfeixiaoamericans don’t have access to that
As an American, I feel we should be taught this, I actually had to teach myself how to read military time because most of the books I read use military time
It's so weird, I've been using 24-hour time since I was a teen, but I still verbally say "4 o'clock" when asked. Same thing when I look at it. I see "17:05" and my brain says, "5 o' 5."
On behalf on my kind, I apologize to all European people also I apologize to all other continents too.
Apology solely accepted for you. The other people don't deserve forgiveness
Same here😭😭😭 We are sincerely sorry😭😭😭
I don't apologize. Take this back.
We dont apologize. We dont accept you as an American anymore
as a representative of northern Italy I accept your apology informally, we still have to discuss the latest culinary crimes that have been committed and this may result in a delay in a formal response
Best regards.
I can't think of any fake political body
At some point someone asked on reddit what people don't like about USA. I answered my usual lack of healthcare and gun control, and I got the classic answer from an American that if I don't like it there, I should move to another country. I've never been to USA.
I hate that I don't doubt this one bit

If you don't live there then why are you complaining about its problems? They're irrelevant to you, so why even bother?
@@GremlinTheFurry maybe because it's good to see things beyond the end of your own nose and learn from other countries' mistakes. their problems can become your problems very fast
@@psychodelicvelosity I suppose that's fair, it just seems odd to complain about something that doesn't affect you. Talk about it? Sure, that makes sense. But complaining about it? I don't really get it.

Even in the sentence itself, mouldy is spelled with a 'U' making it *very* clear that this is written by someone british

@@BuildersOfBlocks I grew up in New zealand, guess how we spelt mouldy.
I'm American and just now learned there's a Rome, Georgia. 😂
Americans also don't know how to pronounce Leicester, Gloucester or Worcester.
@@damianjblack I’m sorry but h o w (I’m not American)
@giveducko in Britain they're pronounced Less-tuh, Gloss-tuh and Wuss-tuh (close enough for a youtube comment anyhow). Americans pronounce them as "Lee-sess-ter", "Glow-sess-ter" and "Wur-sess-ter".
(As an aside, all the cester names in England derive from the Latin "castra" meaning fort. "Leicester" comes from the Old English form "Ligoreceaster" meaning basically "fort of the Ligore people"...)
@@damianjblackThe Worcester I’m aware of, in the state of Massachusetts, is pronounced exactly as you say it should be. It drives people crazy because you’d never guess it from reading the word but we’ve got that one right. Gloucester, also in Massachusetts, is more or less pronounced as you say it should be as well. Some of us do use the letter r though (you know, since it’s right there at the end of the word) so it’d be Wuss-ter and Gloss-ter, but people from Massachusetts seem to share your aversion to r so many of them say it exactly like you.

I cant understand how people cannot read and REFUSE to learn how to read military time. Its just ‘if the hour goes past 12, like 15:30, then just subtract 12 from the number. 15-12=3:30’
Edit: I now know that military time and the 24h clock is different, thanks for informing me
I love using military time and we have a sign out sheet in my last hour at school and I wrote 14:30 then some kid kept asking me why I put 14:30 then changed the fucking time from 14:30 to 2:30
And who wants to look at the time and do math? It's not that people can't, it's that they don't f*cking want to. Who uses Military time? The military. How many of us are in the military? A lot less than one percent, so it isn't necessary for anyone else. You didn't know, now you do.
i had to learn military time when using discord, i have a learning disability that makes math and reading numbers very difficult. i know how it works really well now like cmon that’s really sad
Can we just refuse to call it military time.. that's just something some stupid American has coined it as
Because I have learning disability, math is bad to me, I would rather not have to spend several minutes to calculate the time.
As a non-american, I have to give props to the americans for being able to take a joke

5:03 go tell an Irishman that they have the same genetics and culture as a Brit, they’ll wipe the floor with you.
Technically the Irish are Britons. It's the English who aren't. Since the Irish Scots and Welsh are all descended from the ancient Britons (the pre-Roman Celtic peoples) whereas the English are descended from the Angles, Saxons and Jutes who arrived in Britain after the Romans left. The islands were named Britain centuries before the English existed.
@@damianjblackthat would be true if it wasn’t for the generations of mixing genetically, I personally am 50% Irish, 25% Scottish and 25% north west European hunter gatherer, (who predate the Celts). I can call myself English because I was born there or Irish because that’s my dominant culture. Nearly everyone in the North West of England has Irish in their mixed genetics. All of the other regions have different mixtures, it’s what happens after thousands of years of invasions, immigration and interbreeding.
As an American: the only reason I can read the 24 hour clock is because of Pokemon. So that’s fun lol.

1:40 I used Ancestry DNA and they didn’t clump all my European ancestry as “European”. They split in into Spain, Basque, Ireland, etc.
It is put in a section called "European" tho and is further split up into those areas.
@@guest_4416Asian is only one, though, isn’t it? I remember hearing one of those services doesn’t differentiate between different Asian ethnicities.
@GogiRegion yeah it’s kind of annoying tbh they also make it so Eastern Europe is one region and don’t tell you the specific countries (thank god I got that info before doing the test from family)
@@GogiRegion it isn't. It's split up into different countries or regions in Asia. In my DNA test I have Japanese and Korean not just "Asian"
@@ANDREW-ck6ro what's even more annoying is that they group all indigenous people in all of north and south America in one. So a Remote Amazon tribe has the same DNA compared to an Eskimo in Alaska according to DNA test websites.
The only thing that keeps me from being completely embarrassed about being a citizen of the USA is that most of these boneheads don't consider me a 'real American' since my mother is from Mexico and not Europe. Y'know her family has been 'American' for centuries instead of decades.
Interesting thing I remembered. I was only three years old or so, and my preschool teacher was asking the class where they were from. I panicked when she asked me, so I took one big look at the world map we had and said, "I think I was born in Antarctica."

9:13 Learned in world history class that apparently the only reason Alaska is owned by America and not Canada right now is because Russia just didn’t want to give it to Britain. Which is also why we got it for such a good deal because Russia just didn’t want it.

I think it's an international law that very quick emergency number, like 911 or 999 or 000 automatically gets routed to the local equivalent, so as not to confuse visitors from other countries who might need to call and don't know the exact local number.
Tbh Canada also uses 911 so in a way I don't blame them for not knowing some countries use a different number for the emergency line.
In France we decided to make things extremely complicated for absolutely no reason.
15 = medical emergency
17 = police
18 = firefighters
And guess what? If you call the medical emergency service, 9 times out of 10 they'll send you firefighters to bring you to the hospital. So most of the times people just dial 18 to directly call them... 😂
But you also can call 112, which works in all Europe. It will reroute you to the the emergency service of the country you're in. It's very convenient if you're traveling, that way you don't have to memorize the numbers for each country you're visiting.
That being said, someone dialing 911 in France will be put in contact with the local emergency services, and I'm fairly certain that it's the same in many European countries. Which makes you wonder why there are so many different numbers. Just choose a universal one an let's go with it!
There isn't a law. Here in Chile every service has its own number 131 for ambulances, 132 for bomberos (firefighters), 133 for Carabineros (national police), 134 for PDI (civil national police).
But people start to call so often to 911 due to American media, mobile companies decide to route those to Carabineros, mostly because they can request help from other services and have faster reaction times for some emergencies.
Here in Sweden it’s 112, but when I was a kid it was 90000 for some reason.
As I googled around to make sure (it changed in 96) I discovered that apparently 911 works as an emergency number from cellphones all over the world so it seems you’re right.
In Finland (and apparently most of Europe) the number is 112. But 911 re-routes to our emergency number so foreigners are able to use it too. Who can recall the foreign emergency number in panic, especially if you travel to multiple countries?

I forget exactly which channel I learned this from, but apparently the reason we still say "soccer" is because we got our original language from England, which invented and used "soccer" in the past, but they changed to "football". We just kept the original word.
Sounds like bs
@MikachuAi I guess BS is true then most of the stuff America does that euros complain about originated in Europe
@@MikachuAi Well, it's difficult. Basically it started in the UK with the Football Association, but a similar game was popular around the same time called Rugby Football named after an English boarding school.
Inevitably those names were shortened as student at Oxford started to refer to those two as rugger and assoccer. Those nicknames ultimately changed again and turned into rugby and soccer.
Meanwhile in the US a sport called "gridion football"(now known as american football), which used rules from both rugby and football, proved way more popular hence why for our football, they took on the name soccer.
In places where people call football soccer, usually another type of football is as or even more popular than the generally known one.

It's so weird that so many Americans seem against national healthcare paid by taxes because it's "taking money from the healthy for the unhealthy and unsavoury" but are all too happy to let their taxes go into the bottomless Military Budget that only about a quarter of actually goes into the national guard that actually "defends" the country. Among other things. It's like if it isn't the communal dish in a Church, they don't understand how the frak Taxes works.
@sebforce1165 actually we are not okay with our money going into the military budget that’s one of the reason the GOP is polling rather high rn is because they adopted a non intervention policy and national healthcare works great for Ireland Norway and such due to the fact they have small populations now try that with 300M it won’t work as great at all however again I agree with the military point which is why so many Americans voted for the GOP in 2022 and probably will now because non interventionalism
They also ignore the fact that private insurance also pools their money and uses it for other people, but at 10 times the price and they might not even get anything out of it because insurance companies are sleazy.

@@ANDREW-ck6rothe GOP are Dominionist fascists.
@@justapanpirate not sure about that, but I do know that in the US, roughly twice the portion of government spending goes to healthcare compared to countries with socialized healthcare, and if you compare tax percentages to average income and government spending, we spend as much in taxes on healtchare as countries with socialized healthcare on top of paying for it ourselves.

@JackRook we don’t own them any money they can’t even pay their 2% NATO funds however you are right our southern border won’t be much friendlier I wasn’t saying it would be I just didn’t mention it because it’s common knowledge already that it won’t be the north on the other hand people have way to many false hopes about them
@JackRook we don’t owe them anything in terms of money they are the ones not paying the 2% NATO fees
America: *Raises hand.* "Is Texas a unit of measurement?"
Europe: "No America, Texas is not a unit of measurement."
America: *Raises hand again.*
Europe: "Football fields are not a unit of measurement either."
about the football.... i heard people use it as a unit of measurement. its not a standard unit but some people do use it as such.
Also average family cars?
2:57 As an American who can count past 12 actually, I do have my phone set to 24-hour time lol
@SilverAceOfSpades it’s a very common trait to see in pick me Americans where they set their phones to 24 hour time that so europeans view them as smarter and in a better light pick me Americans sometimes do some strange things to be seen as “one of the good ones” for euros
@@ANDREW-ck6ro oh sh!t lol
i'm just trying to practice for if i ever go to a country that uses 24-hour time
plus it's fun to see the clock say 00:00
the clock logic is very simple, a day has 24 hours, not two sets of 12 hours.
IN DEFENSE OF 5280 FEET we did not just decide it should be that many feet for no reason. We (the Brits, not technically my country) adopted it from Ancient Rome, and just figured out how many feet it was.
Also "Ambulances are not taxis to the hospital" Taxis aren't free. They, too, charge money to get you to one place from another. The only difference is the ambulance has a bunch of health equipment in it so you don't die. The ambulance might not be free, but it should be affordable

My favorite thing about the "I don't want to pay for someone else's medical expenses" argument against health care reform is...that's how it works now. Privatized health care does that too. Except it's also more expensive and less likely to actually cover you.
Dude every day in American school they make us recite the pledge of allegiance
Yeah that shit is creepy even when I was a kid. I stop doing it.
It's so weird how they make us do it 😭😭🙏🙏 I remember when I was in elementary school they had us sing the national anthem AND recite the pledge, I swear America is a fucking cult sometimes, I understand respecting the military but like we don't have to sing the pledge everyday 😭😭🙏🙏
Man, it wasn't until my freshman year of highschool that they didn't make us actually recite it, just had to stand and be quiet. Before that in 8th grade we could stay quiet but we had to have our hand over our heart
then they had an american flag in every room and a giant one in the courtyard
Granted, I graduated in 2012, so this is old but I remember an art teacher who would make us do pushups if she saw we weren’t actually reciting it. And thinking back on that..that’s actually nuts 😂
7:28 the teachers and the whole class laughed at me when i said that a "kakao" went in the fridge, one of the teachers even said "you don't put cows in fridges". That was just how i knew how to say hot chocolate, since im part Austrian.
(Also a lot of people in same school thought that i was saying Australia instead of Austria, so i just said germany)
(Also ALSO in middle school people could not comprehend that i was American and Austrian, one kid even said "aren't you like, Albanian?")

One time i encountered a person who genuinely thought i was talking about their Thanksgiving dinner when i told them i was from Turkey. And this wasn't like a dumb kid this was a adult.
@thepioneer1525 Nothing is stopping you from going back home… oh wait you don’t want to because these “idiots” gave you a good economy to live in so if these “idiots” can make an economy and you cannot (because you had to move for a reason) what would that make you guys?

It never ceases to amaze me that americans made the imperial system part of their identity and call them "freedom units" despite the fact that its far older than the country itself. They do this with the english language itself...
Here in the land of the free, our classmates genuinely ask questions like “what year was 9/11” and “are germany and Guatemala countries?”
Ill always remember how here in Spain it showed us in the news how Americans in NYC were ABSOLUTELY ASHTONISHED, like, recording it with phones level of astonishment, at a dumpster truck that had a way for itself to grab the bins and containers of trash into its own storage of trash. Something that has been used here for at least 20 years if not more. And for them it was like being on the future, the absolute most invention that would revolutionise the world of trash management.
@horvslvpercal5134 just like how Spain would be astonished to have a high employment rate
@@ANDREW-ck6ro yeah sure pal, next time try to say it without plunging yourself off a balcony trying to reach a swimming pool.
@horvslvpercal5134 The only falling off balcony’s I see is in Kabul when a man is outed from the closet (yet people try to act like America is oppressive to orientations) next time say it without Catalonia the basques and galicia trying to actively secede all at the same time also despite how you guys talk about America being oppressive to Puerto Rico and stuff you guys just throw away Catalonias independence declaration that was written up by people they voted for there
@@ANDREW-ck6ro the Catalonian independency shit was like, the most fabricated thing ever. It's like saying Texas wanted to secede from the US because some people want to, and made an illegal votation of which, it being illegal, was only voted by the independentist because all of the people who didn't want independence just knew it was bullshit and didn't lose the time going to a false votation.
This has also been proved since recent polls conducted by the Catalonian regional government (which, to respect different cultures inside Spain has, along with every other community a variation of privileges and autonomy) on the subject of independency have been on a steady decline.
Besides that. My point still stands. Y'all can't take no flack for someone pointing that your country isn't perfect and first in everything and anything, that it hurts your ego so so much that you need to go give shit to a comment written drunk at 3am that was saying "omg look, this teeny tiny thing that I have had since I have use of reason has shocked a particular set of population that didnt knew of its existence because a system can be perfected by taking examples from other countries' systems and adding it to your own.
You're literally the point of the whole video mate
Since when is “reighfyl” pronounced like “RIfle” and not “RAYfle”?
Ever since I joined the amazing world of the internet this are the questions Americans have asked me. For context, I'm Puertorrican.
1. How did you get a phone?
2. Do I wear real clothes?
3. If you're actually Puertorrican how do you know English?
4. How can you live on the island, isn't that place abandoned?
5. Does it take you days to go to school?
6. What do you mean your houses are made of concrete?!
7. That island is pretty small, do you guys all know each other?
8. Do you guys go hunting in the jungles?
And the worst thing about it is that Puerto Rico is a US territory. 😳
I feel ashamed that my fellow Americans can ask this fellow American such stupid questions… anyways RAHHHHH 🦅 🇺🇸
1:13 Last I checked (a few minutes ago) Amsterdam has a larger population than Vermont anyway
So many things around here like colleges and doctors have plans that punish you for moving, even just out of state but especially out of country. No transferring credits, or complete cancellation of your current program, its very scary and makes it very hard to move.
15:32 We call it “football” because it’s a game where you literally kick a ball around with you foot!!
I look at Russian letters, and I question my sanity
@@Vault111Cookbook Why?
@@Vault111Cookbook the russian literally means “futbol”
I’m pretty sure “soccer” is a contraction of the term “association football”
@@HenyaMandel association football??
The funny thing is when you think about it, “football” is actually a more accurate description of soccer than it is of football. The entire game of soccer is centred around a ball that you’re only allowed to touch with your feet (hence “foot ball”). Meanwhile football has a lot more throwing and beating people up over something that isn’t even a ball.
watch Australian Rules footy!
As an American, I watch foreign TH-cam so much that I sometimes say English words or phrasing that are not America common and then people are like "Why are you saying British words". As for time numbers are confusing we should just have a brain device that tells us the concept of what time it is directly without needing to decipher symbols (this is half joke). 12:45 I like both but I agree that American pizza has some benefits over italian, but both are delicious and italian has great benefits. I love both. Unless neither are American or something? Maybe both are italian. Regardless, they are delicious. The national anthem sucks yeah it should be breakcore or something. All national anthems are in boring genres but at least they aren't overly proud of it like America. 14:26 they probably just thought that when ancient rome fell that it disappeared and were unaware it is still there.
I mean to be fair its not like a national anthem is something you would put in your spotify playlist or whatever.
The US national anthem should be America the Beautiful and the UK one should be Land of Hope and Glory.
Chicago is a city not a state.
With the whole pizza thing, pizza as we think of it today was invented in America. By Italian immigrants, but in America. Pizza is, in essence, one of the most American foods there are, being invented by taking Italian ideas and adapted for a new context in the New World. So Chicago calling itself the "Pizza Capital of the World", while obviously objective, isn't really some sin committed on Italy.
This is painful but at the same time soo funny 🤣
As a borm and raised USA resident I use "military" (24hour) time, prefer the day-month-year format, and think we really should switch to Metric and Celsius.
Hi, i'm Russian. And what the heck is "Russian measurement system", lol? We use just regular SI with meters, kilos and celsius.
9:00 To be fair, I live in South Africa (the country on the southern tip of Africa, for any Americans reading this) and we actually use a mix of the two. We have free government-funded hospitals and privately owned hospitals.
15:29 here in Ireland we only say soccer to distinguish between soccer and Gaelic football (idk if anyone cares but just saying like)
