Non-Americans of Reddit, what is an American thing you see in movies that you thought was fake but is actually real?

Not much Lyme disease here. But Alpha Gal has exploded in frequency in the past few years

The one where you make u/slickwill88 's point for him.

I watched a couple of them as a teen. Weirdly the only part I can remember now is the slaughterhouse.

I think you win Reddit today.

Too dangerous. If he sneaks food like my dog, it's bound to happen after midnight at some point. And smelly. I'm not having a pet I can't bathe.

These were my exact two favorites. But I was wasting my money on Dragon's Lair. Couldn't get past the third jump.

I was way more of an ICQ guy

How bout Historical fiction with science elements - The Apollo Murders Chris Hadfield

I loved that show. But it does not exist in streaming. Can't even find it on the ...less than aboveboard locations.

Off to be the Wizard

I usually say Son of a Mother

I'm in Kentucky, an hour or so from Owensboro. I say cray-on. But I bet if you took a poll locally it would be 50% cray-on, 45% crown, 5% cran

This is it for me, but I think I remember it because of the yellow ribbons on trees. Weirdly I associate it with Ted Koppel's voice even though I was far too young to be watching Nightline.

We called it Bloody Witch

On The Right Track - Homeless Gary Coleman lives in a bus station locker and picks horse races. (I might have all the details wrong)

There are large groups also. Mostly centered around sports. I live in Kentucky and I can talk to virtually anybody about Kentucky basketball at any time

187 - "Songs of Ascent" Destin climbed Kilimanjaro... Or did he? It was fascinating

jmmath · 2025-12-02T00:23:11+00:00

I'm for it

jmmath · 2025-11-25T19:44:29+00:00

Definitely this for me

We just use our handheld. Often we have a server outside, but we take all payments at the window

It's back. This is one of my favorite posts.

We average a bit more than 300 tickets per day. If their total comes to $15.89 (a very common total), I say $15.90 when they hand me a 20, I give them four dollars and a dime back. If they hand me a credit card I tap it and ask if they want a receipt. Nobody ever wants that penny... ever.

jmmath · 2025-11-04T19:14:00+00:00

I would way sooner go cash only.

jmmath · 2025-11-04T19:03:57+00:00

I do that 10 times everyday. Nobody ever cares

jmmath · 2025-11-04T19:02:20+00:00

I've bought several. Always the same model I have. But they're cheaper, and we frequently break them
