America’s influence around the world remains undeniable, whether through films, music, or consumer brands. However, many facets of its culture may seem confusing to those outside the United States.
This was a recent topic of discussion in a Threads post where someone asked about American habits and customs that British people might find weird. Some were baffled by the healthcare-related bankruptcies, while others questioned the obsession with weapons and the military.
For other non-Americans with similar sentiments, feel free to voice them in the comments below.
Excessive Nationalistic propaganda easily on a par with North Korea: ‘We are the GREATEST in the world at absolutely everything’
Instead of protecting kids in school, y’all just have drills.
For kids.

“Well, it’s going to happen, so sit under a desk. Cool, we get our funding now.“
WTH?
Being sure America is the greatest country in the world when you’ve never been abroad.
Equating basic vaguely socialist ideas as extremist left wing notions.
Insurance culture, expensive healthcare provision, lack of annual leave or maternity leave.
Being asked for ID to buy cigarettes,when you’re in your 60s.
The incredibly long paying process which involves the bank card being taken away, a pen, and calculations.
Saying thank you for your service to random military people and those military people expecting preferential treatment on planes etc.
Telling everyone you’re the best at everything when that’s clearly a lie.
