Ask an American

If you’re from a country aside from America, and especially if you haven’t been there, ask me or tell me about societal operations you think I should know. A higher proportion of this forums than usual isn’t from the game’s native country.

do you people really eat only hamburgers and hotdogs and oil

They’re way more common, but we eat other stuff too. I don’t really like most hot dogs.

North America.**************

Yes, north america. United states, specifiy

Are you communist

How much patriotism is too much

im in the apush trenches (exam on friday) so ill try to answer these questions with some more history

we kind of had a whole deal about this thing about 70 years ago where calling someone a communist was basically like calling them a slur and its still a problem to today

back in world war 1 there was a whole deal where if you weren’t patriotic enough you would get jailed and ostracized from the wider american community. this had some less serious consequences, like the renaming of the hamburger to the freedom sandwich or something because ‘hamburger’ was of german origin, but there was also some more sinister consequences like the push to totally assimilate every immigrant culture into the ‘supreme’ anglo-saxon one. (plus all of the eugenics bullshit that was happening around this time that primarily ended because we didn’t want to be like the nazis in world war 2). so um. thats probably too much yeah

hamburgers no, every like month or so
hotdogs i havent had one since i was like 12
oil yes

do you guys really have to use the car to even go to the store?

also have you ever seen houses like these in your country?

depends on where you live. urban centers developed after the invention of the automobile and especially during the 1950s are centered around the usage of cars to get around, especially major cities in the sunbelt (so like, houston, la, etc) are planned around you having a car, and even more so the suburb. some places are more walkable than others, but the trend is toward needing a car to get around

are those commie blocks? there are a few around here, but probably not as ubiquitous

it’s a gallery flat, which I guess is similar but more stretched out and thinner

yes (unless you’re in a big city which comes with its own problems like the streets being a landfill but with used heroin needles everywhere)

any given place in the country likely requires an automobile to get to within a reasonable amount of time

that actually looks more like a hospital than a house

our apartment complexes look more like this

i know this is a weird (and frankly probably offensive to someone) question, but is it normal to see openly LGBTQ+ people in public in the US?

openly doing so here is heavily frowned upon and often punishable by law (this is NOT a question about politics, though)

have a cat pic

why does the fast food apparently suck there

love me some kfc but always when i say that i see mfs come up and say “ew” or whatever

people have said it’s probably like a quality issue but like i’m 70% sure you guys be overreacting

also is it true that they have sh figuarts figures in target over there
just like out in the wild

Oh god
That’s not good at all
Why is that happening
(You would definitely get discriminated here, especially in the south, but police can’t just walk up to those people and say “STOP! IN THE NAME OF THE LAW!” (yet))
