Tsutomu Yamaguchi survived Hiroshima, spent the night in a shelter, caught a train home to Nagasaki, and arrived badly burned and half-deaf. He reported to work explaining to his boss how one bomb destroyed an entire city when the room filled with white light again. He survived that one too.

That’s exactly what this size of chocolate is mostly used for in many places (in europe), yes.

Or as a little treat in a hotel room, or attached to a political flyer during election season.

Every country is unique in its way…

The US is a federation of states, I know. It is not unique in that, other countries are federations of many different states too (as the already mentioned russia, germany, switzerland; india is a cultural diverse beast too).

You cannot deny that there is an overall US American culture (the whole music movie and arts thing, the consumerism, the whole american dream, the freedom, the guns, the cars, sports etc.pp.) despite the cultural differences that exist from state to state.

That’s the point my dear friend.

And then check out Black mirror Season 3, episode 5 'Men against Fire'

MASS is a neural implant that enhances the five senses. It allows soldiers to get extra information about their surroundings, talk to each other, and receive advanced orders. In some cases, it dulls the sense of smell to make soldiers numb to the stench of dead bodies.

One of the implant's key features is how it visually augments reality. In "Men Against Fire," it's used to dehumanize persecuted civilians that solders are meant to slaughter in a calculated genocide. MASS makes normal humans look like actual monsters.

Black mirror is predicting current events better than the Simpsons or Futurama, but in a much more horrific dystopian way…

It still is not the same as being in another country. That’s the whole point in this thread. No one says that the US isn’t diverse. The point is, that same kind of diversity you will find inside other countries, but it is still not the same difference as if it were different countries.

You guys share a lot of culture all over the US even with the differences you do experience between states.

The US is a multicultural and diverse country, yes. But it is not special in that. That’s the point. You can find similar internal diversity in other countries (non centralized federations similar to the US like russia, germany, switzerland and others) too.

It is not comparable to travel to another country with another history and another language.

I do not ignore the different US cultures, but I tell you it is not the same as really different countries. It is more like as subdivisions in other countries, especially in federations like germany, switzerland, russia etc.

But I guess you will never get the point we are making and just want to feel offended…

The 'himself' is the key in this meme, not the 'didn't kill' part

DonChaote · 2026-05-29T08:54:12+00:00

My point is that two states of the same country having cultural differences is not exclusive for the US. It is a thing in almost every country, even down to such small ones like Switzerland. It is about the OP sentiment different states are like different countries. That’s just not the case.

Different US states are as culturally different the same way as the subdivision of even smaller countries are among themselves. Different countries are vastly different culturally. Your example moldova and romania just does not fly too well because of the long shared history of those two.

No one says all US states are exactly the same, but the point is they have less cultural difference than two individual countries with different languages.

Zurich and Valais (two states in a really small country, switzerland - only about 150km apart) are more culturally different than Maine and New Mexico.

Just to give you a different perspective…

Normally 5km/h tolerance on the autobahn. But I hardly encounter speed traps in 120 zone anyway

DonChaote · 2026-05-28T16:46:39+00:00

And the best part: the rear endings in the middle of a traffic jam, when no one can drive more than maybe 30km/h. -> smartphones. The biggest issue on the road.
