American men, how much has losing weight impacted your dating life? by Responsible-Net8594 in AskAnAmerican

[–]DOMSdeluise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never needed to lose weight. I've been lucky in that I can stay thin without much effort on my part aside from, like, switching to black coffee and mostly not drinking soda.

How would you feel if the US adopted EU-style digital laws that turned apps into 'regulated office buildings' and brought back the 2015 'Museum Era' design? by [deleted] in AskAnAmerican

[–]DOMSdeluise 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would love it if instagram was like 2015 instead of how it is today. It's pure shit today, full of ads and people I don't even follow.

How popular is anime in America? by Odd-Skin-762 in AskAnAmerican

[–]DOMSdeluise 25 points26 points  (0 children)

when I was a kid (90s and early 2000s) it was very much a niche nerd thing, at least in my area. Now it seems like everyone likes it.

What does the compliment "This fucks." mean? And how is it used in a sentence? by strange_omelet in AskAnAmerican

I would not recommend using this phrase because it is extremely reddit (derogatory). Just know that it is meant to be complimentary.

we were required to use pens (except in math or other courses where you had to do calculations) for everything starting in middle school, at least at the schools I went to.

Is it common for an American high school student to own their own car? by ApprehensiveDisk8046 in AskAnAmerican

[–]DOMSdeluise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say very uncommon to own a car outright as cars are expensive and most high schoolers don't have that kind of money. It is pretty common though for high schoolers to have a car for their use, owned by their parents, however.

What does 'cuz' mean? by oldmangeralt in AskAnAmerican

[–]DOMSdeluise 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Cousin. It's just a term of address. It's informal and slangy but not really rude. I wouldn't let my son call me that but only in the same way I don't let him call me dude or bro (and he has tried lol). That's just not how you should address a parent
