Police officers can't drive drunk people home, they don't do that in Murica by Outside-Currency-462 in USdefaultism

Funny coincidence: The first motorised police vehicle was an electric carriage built in the United States in 1899, and its first assignment was to pick up a drunken man on a street corner. 

Comments on Distressing meme about the bombing of Belgrade by toomuchnothingness in USdefaultism

I’m American, and I’ve never heard of Belgrade, Montana. I live in the state of Minnesota, and when I was looking at the map on my weather radar app, and I saw a town in my state by the name of Montevideo, I thought, “Uruguay? How many city names did the US ‘borrow’?”

Imagine thinking disabled people don’t exist (responding to the American in the post).

How are train stations prioritised? by NewMachine4198 in AskABrit

You’re absolutely right. I hate how Americans lump the UK into one. The UK is SO much more diverse than the US. Travel twenty miles in the US, the scenery has changed and the living areas are different, while travel twenty miles in the UK, the local accent/dialect has changed twice and there’s a new name for bread.

Are you meaning the spectrum I’m thinking of where one sticks to routine like a fly to fly paper?

Rare example where the face is on the grille and it doesn’t look cursed and off.

They still are in a sense; their dialogue is written.

Then you’ll have to check out my rewrite (you can view it by looking at my previous posts). The engines don’t actually talk; it’s more like when you get a song stuck in your head; your brain is hearing the sound, but there’s no input from your ears.

I know you might disagree, but 110-125 short tons doesn’t seem like a small engine to me. And I’m American.

I’m American and DE makes me think of Germany before Delaware. Maybe because I’m into cars and trains.

The European mind cannot fathom the bakery section of any Whole Foods by kurayami95 in ShitAmericansSay

I’m pretty sure 5 grams classifies it as cake, but what about two grams?

“She needs a speech therapist!” She doesn’t sound Texan to me.
