1.
You heard it here first, folks: everyone on Facebook is American!
2.
America is not the default!
3.
I’m actually speechless at this one.
4.
Because no nations exist in timezones ahead of the US!
6.
Yep, they’re CHOOSING to speak British English instead of American English.
7.
People rush to be bigots so quickly, they won’t even fact-check to make sure what they’re saying even makes sense.
10.
Looks like this person has never seen the French flag. Or the UK’s flag. Or Australia’s flag. Panama’s flag. Slovakia’s. Russia’s. Should I continue?
11.
This is actually one of my all-time favorite comebacks.
12.
If I had a dime for every time an American thought “Georgia” referred exclusively to the US state, I’d have a jarful.
13.
Likewise, when you hear London, you should automatically assume it refers to the town in Ohio, and not one of the most famous cities in the world.
14.
“Of course, they say it wrong.” Uh, it’s not wrong outside of the US?
15.
Elon Musk being the only non-American on this list makes me want to vomit.
16.
Either this second commenter forgot there are nations outside of the US, or they thought people worldwide should know each US state acronym, and I can’t decide which is worse.
17.
“Why would we be talking about Australia?” (The video literally shows a map of Australia.)
18.
The American flag applies to everbody? Since when?
19.
Does…this person think everyone in the world voted in the US election?
20.
And does this person think everyone uses the same currency worldwide?
21.
This Texan wasn’t even confident that the 21+ law applies countrywide in the US, so I don’t know why they thought it might exist worldwide.
22.
I am truly in awe that someone thinks Godzilla is an American creation, and never existed before an American film.
23.
Say it with me: THE INTERNET IS NOT AMERICAN TERRITORY. I like the way the second commenter put it.
24.
Ozzy, famously an American musician, whose birth and death dates would use an American format!
25.
I hope this is a joke.
26.
And I hope this person was a troll.
27.
At least this person knows that bands in other countries exist, and that this question was potentially dumb…but I’m still a little disappointed they asked it.
28.
Newsflash: many countries use so-called “military time” as the standard.
29.
Wow, there haven’t been more than six wars throughout human history? Good for humanity!
30.
Yes, there are nations other than the US!
31.
The Superbowl is not watched by “the whole world,” in case you didn’t know.
32.
Once again, currency is not the same worldwide.
33.
Bro, I barely even learned any Texas history in Massachusetts.
34.
The audacity required to call someone ELSE a dumbass while yourself not understanding the basic concept of time zones: infinite.
35.
You wanted more audacity? You got it!
36.
If we’re assuming anything is fake that does not match our specific experience, we are so, so cooked.
37.
Please tell me this person was being deliberately obtuse.
38.
Scream it with me from the rooftops: OTHER COUNTRIES EXIST!!!!!
39.
“This country.” Which, exactly?
40.
The default is not America!
41.
A little reminder: just because someone does something differently from you does not automatically mean it’s wrong.
42.
Adding “in the US” seems like such an obvious and easy fix, and yet…
43.
Ohhh, that comeback, though. 🔥🔥🔥
44.
Serious question: Why would any other country celebrate Thanksgiving?
45.
And why would 9/11 matter to a band of Brits?
46.
I am so tired of saying it, but I have to say it again: other countries exist.
47.
Remember: internet strangers are not, by default, Americans.
48.
Reddit is especially bad with this.
49.
Reddit is not just for Americans!!!
50.
There are other nations where people speak English, y’know.
51.
I feel like this person could’ve answered their own question if they had done a single second of thinking.
52.
“The West” doesn’t just mean the western US.
53.
Look, I get that this is distinctive, but there’s more than one president in the world.
54.
Where did this person even get this idea?
55.
Maybe don’t correct people if you don’t know what you’re talking about?
56.
An American holiday created for an American event = celebrated in America. Hope this helps!
57.
Why would anywhere in THAILAND accept a UNITED STATES state ID? Do these people use their heads, or is it just silent up there?
58.
And finally, foreign = not in the US, apparently.
