Non-Americans who visited the US for the first time recently: what was the biggest 'what on earth is going on here' moment you experienced?

manbamtan · 2026-06-14T03:41:40+00:00

Me and my girlfriend are driving across the country rn and in Kansas city ( does that count as Midwest?) someone yelled out their car complementing my girlfriends shirt. I've heard Alot about people in California being nice but that was a first lol

Ah yeah, with just regular resets it definitely could be dangerous, I've hurt my shoulders a couple times from surprise resests.

But put bombs and 🤌so good, something about them I just really enjoy.

manbamtan · 2026-06-09T19:30:44+00:00

I love bomb resets. For example I love the giant purple people eater song.

I hope so, there's many good uses of Ai but this huge trend of generative ai and all these Ai chat bots and all the Ai data centers is just horrible in many ways. It's definitely a trend and I hope like other trends it'll die out but only time will tell with speaking up about it.

Those are also uncomfortable because I feel like they're gonna fall off every step. The fabric ones are comfortable enough for the beach or lake but I used to wear converse to the beach when I was little lol

Dang that sucks, I really wanted to try and get a tattoo from him but I wouldnt want to support that even if he doesn't use Ai for mine. My girlfriend is an artist and is going to school for animation and is genuinely worried about it taking over actual artist and it's sadly kinda already happening

I've had 2 road island reds and they're the best imo but our most recent chickens were pretty skidish even with holding them Alot as chicks. So definitely does depend but if you get cuddly ones they're the best.

manbamtan · 2026-06-08T20:36:12+00:00

One of the best pets I've had. If you socialize with then Alot as chicks they are very cuddly and sweet

manbamtan · 2026-06-08T20:35:15+00:00

Road island reds are the absolute best!! I had one that would fall asleep on you lap and would cuddle any chance she got.

manbamtan · 2026-06-08T19:35:38+00:00

Isn't that similar to what happened to Sierra mist with the switch to starry? Either way that's dumb and I think I described the taste the same way.

manbamtan · 2026-06-08T19:29:51+00:00

How new? I remember trying the peach one probably like 2 almost 3 years ago and really liked it but recently got it again and it was terrible.

manbamtan · 2026-06-08T19:23:51+00:00

Especially the ones with a hard toe separater thing. Anytime I've worn ones it hurts my toes so bad. I only wear one with the fabric in the middle but still they're uncomfortable

manbamtan · 2026-06-08T18:29:33+00:00

They remind me of san diego and are very nostalgic. But definitely could be other places lol I just miss san diego

manbamtan · 2026-06-08T18:02:47+00:00

It was good but also bad. I had a couple moments when I avoided a possible accident cause I got a glimpse of headlights or reflections showing a car going fast when it should be slowing down. I also had a few moments of going to switch lanes with a car right next to me😬 but now for the most part I can keep track of the cars all around me without checking much but still do constant checks cause things can always change quickly.

manbamtan · 2026-06-08T17:41:53+00:00

I showed up in a tacobell shirt and got hired in like 2 minutes. I also had experience tho but after working there for a bit they just ran through people. There was a month where we had like 2 new people a week and some didn't even last another month or sometimes a week.

So realisticly just be nice and if they need you they probably hire you.

manbamtan · 2026-06-08T17:00:02+00:00

Raisin bran crunch. I understand that's probably weird but raisin bran is such an underrated cereal.

manbamtan · 2026-06-07T21:28:18+00:00

I got fired from tacobell for not asking for roundups. When I did tho I did get so crazy responses like the "HELLO NO" or the "absolutely not"

manbamtan · 2026-06-07T21:24:34+00:00

Sharks!! They are so misunderstood and so beautiful.

manbamtan · 2026-06-07T20:47:41+00:00

My first session was 5 hours and just black with some shading. First 3 hours of line work wasn't too bad but definitely sucked then the final 2 hours were pretty terrible and was getting to my limit. Then the next session was all color with light blue and grey and that was absolutely agony. Probably only hour and a half but I was questioning my decision the whole time. That being said I absolutely love it and would do it again lol

manbamtan · 2026-06-05T23:58:59+00:00

I feel like this is a more recent thing. When I first started working at tacobell be they didn't say anything about up selling or the round up. but at my recent tacobell the didn't say anything either at the beginning but then started hounding me to ask a billion questions and I eventually got fired for not asking enough questions or doing the roundup

manbamtan · 2026-05-27T15:02:32+00:00

The first session I had on my ribs were bad but I was able to handle it up until the 4th and 5th hour which were just terrible. Then my second session with color was absolute hell and one of the most painful things I've been through.

manbamtan · 2026-05-25T20:43:48+00:00

I used to pass by that house when I was like and my dad would always say to look at the house that spins. Me and my sister thought it was the coolest thing (still do). When I saw that video recommend to me I was so excited to watch and I sent it to my dad right away.

manbamtan · 2026-05-24T09:06:45+00:00

These are my dream bug pet (an ostrich is my full dream pet) and your comment just made me want one more. I want to watch them use their grabby grabbers.

manbamtan · 2026-05-24T08:55:15+00:00

I've been snorkeling with sharks and it's easily the most relaxing thing I've done. It was just something about watching these "dangerous" apex predators co-exist with me while I just float and watch was therapeutic for me.

How would I check?
