Memes aside, what are some weird things that Americans ACTUALLY do?

who the fuck? i dont and i dont even wear shoes outside if im just taking out the trash i am hispanic though

lmao someone in my old neighborhood would go around and put american flags in everyones lawn on July 4th (they were always there by the time I went outside)

that's so gay.

we force kids to stand and pledge allegiance to the state because we're government-worshiping bootlicking cucks even though we like to believe we're the opposite.

Ummmm the problem is Canada despite what they think arent too different. Fake Kraft cheese is common in both countries but I dont think anywhere else.

>we force kids
no we don't

i remember i didnt do it once and the teacher was mad at me but i just wanted to finish my school work

>Last time I went there I noticed there's weirdly large number of flags. It felt every single household had a flag on their doorstep. It was so bizarre.
Where did you go and was it a national holiday (not counting Thanksgiving or Christmas)

It's not common. I have some cousins who do it. Unless you have a massive party almost everyone takes off just inside the door. I only know three people who do it,y uncle and his too sons (they're kind of rednecks).

He’s not wrong. There’s a street in my town that has flags up along the telephone poles 365 days a year.

There is no requirement. If you're an edgy individualist you dont have to and your cunt teacher can't make you.

This is technically true, but I definitely have known of people getting suspended etc... as a result.

>He’s not wrong. There’s a street in my town that has flags up along the telephone poles 365 days a year.
That's a post 9/11 thing where towns recieved government funds to do it but you still only see it near town centers and usually not in large towns or cities.

Kek. I didnt even get suspended for fighting.

fat not do work hahaha

Based

100% true

when I went I thought all the adverts for medicine and hospitals were weird, but that's about it

spics

elementary and middle school students say the pledgaballegience every morning

>we force kids to stand and pledge allegiance to the state
People aren't forced. I know because I sat down due to the fact that I was an 8 year old edgelord. Never ever had a teacher or student even comment, this is just rust belt suburban America

We get our first sexual experiences with our relatives. 99% same sex

Yes, yes, we get it. Now go back to working at Whangy Wonku’s Human Taffy plant, please.

They do it in highschools now, too.

Pretty sure this totally depends on the district. My schools never said it after elementary school.

Weirdly idiosyncratic about nudity.

What the fuck do you actually ask your guests to take off their shoes? And then they're sitting there in a suit and socks?

But anyone is free to sit (not stand) and not recite. This has always been the case (such as for religious reasons) and always will be.

The Pledge of Allegiance is a Bellamy socialist invention anyway.

We DO sing the National Anthem before sports events. If we are hosting Canadians (say, in hockey), we'll go ahead and sing (or fake-sing) Oh Canada, too.

>spics
Probably literally whiter than you nigel.

It’s still propaganda. You’re making children do it day after day WAY before they realize the moral implications of it.

Uptight about nudity is more like it. The FKK movement really never took hold here very much. Nudists and naturists are rather fringe, but there are legal nude beaches and parks, and certainly private places to go naked. No one cares if you swim naked (without bathing costumes) in your own swimming pool in your backyard (we do all the time). And we're in Central Texas, where skinnydipping is a tradition from - congratulations! - the Germans from 1848 who settled this area. You know, the fun-loving krauts, not the 100 years later Nazi krauts.

Worship their military

I agree. I never made my kids do it, but they did anyway (peer pressure being what it is).

It's stupid. If Texas is attacked, we have more guns per square inch than any other place on earth including Mogadishu. I'm quite sure we can defend the country. LOL

>No one cares if you swim naked in your own swimming pool
Well, yeah, obviously I meant at least somewhat public nudity.

Certain areas eat really shitty food but I dont think that's just the U.S. We do have huge portions. We drive a lot (though so do Canadians and Australians). Circumcision is common.

FKK movement is fading out in Germany too. Once the novelty wears out what are you left with? Bunch of ugly naked Germans, thats what.

Unironically buy pickup trucks even though they don't need them and then cover them in bumper stickers about their enlightened right-wing opinions.
Rarely, you see people here with some tiny flag bumper sticker (Republican, Fascist, Catalan Independence...), more often they have some sort of "baby inside" variation, but never other kind of political messages. I've never seen that shit in France either. Nor on foreign cars from Germany, Italy or the UK.
Why do Americans do this?

Kids aren't as retarded as you think they are. I didn't pledge allegiance, and plenty of other kids didn't either. Teach your kids morals from a young age and they will stand or not. Or don't teach them morals and let the teachers teach them morals. Welcome to parenting.

Jk you are never going to have children

I know people who think sour cream is too spicy

yes, why would they bring the filth from outside into your house

When we visited Munich we took off our business suits and got some all-over sun at Englischer Garten. Very civilized to see businessmen and women taking off their suits and skirts and pants and getting some FKK sunshine. Did not feel weird.

It was perhaps the ONLY tradition of value from the East German days. Do you agree?

Finns here literally made this.

>Self-hating "American"
Disgusting.

>Why do Americans do this?
Its not common in the USA either thats why people take pics. Some people (especially the mentally quirky) just love their own opinions so much and want to broadcast them everywhere they go. Some people end up elevating their cars into works of art. Simple as.

But 16 year old boys with a cheesy mustache are dumb and stupid

Some lone rednecks sprinkled here and there in a desert with a random assortment of firearms is a pitiful excuse of a national defence force.

Nope can't say so. Also sunbathing kills

Rare example from the UK, it must be some Anglo thing

I'm torn apart on whether this is the most based thing I've ever seen or the cringiest shit I've ever witness

there is nothing more non-white than taking your shoes off indoors

That is so cringe worthy. And people want to avoid young people turn into leftists.

They make their soda with powder, and their hot chocolate with syrup.
Here it's the opposite.

It's because the American flag is pretty. People treat it more as a decoration than for nationalism. It's the perks of not having A FUCKING LEAF for a flag

They have cameras inside schools

FKK is an extreme case anyways. What I meant was more everyday examples of topless sunbathing, changing on the beach, going to sauna. The reaction are different from coyness to giddiness, but never indifferent.

Top 3 weird american phenomenon

1. Being crazy. All Americans are crazy.
2. Shamelessly exploiting and harming any one and any thing for even the smallest benefit to themselves.
3. Sharting (not a meme; probably has something to do with their diet)

It's not that it's common or not, yeah I guess it's maybe one in ten thousand cars, but still, it's something I've never ever seen in Europe, just that one example I've just found from the UK, whereas there are thousands of examples from the US. Even though there are probably a bit more cars in Europe overall than in the USA.
I live in a large city so I see a fair share of cars every day, none of them are schizo-rides.

You missed where I said it's not common. I dont do it. Also, last I checked asians and arabs werent white.

>oh no no i said the pledge of allegiance now i must be a bootlicker

Oddly enough one Finn built it and them other Finnish immigrants turned it into the trump mobile.

>What weighs 7,500 pounds, is 29-foot long and made completely from junk scraps? Why, a limousine of course. ‘Finnjet’ belongs to Antti Rahko, a 72-year-old chauffeur from Finland. He immigrated to the US in 1984 and is now a resident of Palm Beach, Florida. It took Rahko 10 whole years to build the limousine from scratch, initially using two Mercedes Benz station wagons joined together, several parts from a 1962 Chrysler Imperial and various components from other vehicles.

>The vehicle’s humble beginnings are hardly visible today, but Rahko says the process of building it was never really complete. He just kept adding parts however and whenever he could. “I had my own car shop, I bought and rented cars.” Eventually, he thought if he succeeded in welding two cars together, he would not need to sell more than one car. That’s how the idea for the Finnjet was born. The car is so well appreciated that it won a prize at the Art Car Parade competition in Houston, twice. Earlier this year, it was taken to Europe for the first time, to be shown at the Essen Motor Show. Packed in a 12m long container, the organizers paid all the costs of transportation and even took out a million dollar insurance policy on the car.

>That israel flag

>Rare example from the UK, it must be some Anglo thing
Car, not sure. Flat Earthers are originally from the UK though.

hot cocoa =/= hot chocolate

I don't agree. Well at least here in the city in Eastern Germany where I live, you can see nudists of all ages all throughout summer. At the lakes I mean of course.
But you can definitely tell that the lower the temperature, the higher the average age, i.e. younger people will only go naked if it's really hot. If it's not hot enough, you only see old-timers.

Well doing it religiously every day is a bit cultish.

If you have never said "fuck the US" during the pledge, then you are a mindless drone.

Americans are super obsessed with letting people know that they like firm handshakes, I use to date a Florida girl and literally every member of her family bragged that they had firm handshakes and all I could think was that they were overcompensating. Aren't limp handshakes more uncommon than a regular fucking grip?

Cuckoldry, there are charts backing it

I've never seen a full decked out ride like -tier in my life, and I've driven around the USA a lot.

Cars covered with bumper stickers I've seen a few times, maybe 2-3 times irl, if that (one of them is my grandma-in-law lol). Americans might just be brasher/louder with their opinions overall.

I hate that shit and it's usually some Subaru covered in hippy shit.

They still have members but those members have been steadily dropping every year.

Handshake is how people greet each other here. Can be replaced with a hug if you are a woman

Obsess over ancestry

Extremely based, I love bumper sticker culture now.

Also what about pic related? Apparently they became so common that some state in the south tried banning them. Why put testicles on your car?

handshakes are very common here too, in fact the most common greeting for men. People here just have good handshake etiquette and don't shout out to everyone "I HAVE A FIRM HANDSHAKE", it seems weird to make a big deal out of it

Did you even read the article you posted

>The energetic septuagenarian has been counting membership forms and says total numbers for Germany's 145 clubs have fallen two per cent a year to about 40,000

> Paradoxically, "uncommitted" naturism, such as taking a dip in a lake in one's birthday suit, is still going strong in Germany.

>"It has become natural, it's part of a lifestyle where we want to reconnect with nature," said Peter Zellmann of the Vienna-based Research Centre for Leisure and Tourism.
>"We no longer need to be part of an association, of a structured organization."

National anthems at every single sporting event. mental to think that it's sung thousands of times every year, or maybe tens of thousands if you include lower league games too.

There are right wing versions too I see posted online, I think it takes a certain personality type which cuts across political affiliations. The kind of person who really really thinks their political opinions make a difference in the world and other people want to hear them.

I prefer semi-hugs over handshakes. Like just bumping shoulders against each other. The hand is the dirtiest, most bacteria-ridden part you could possibly present someone.

never heard of that, maybe the people you met were just strange

Germophobia. I have literally not seen as many hand-sanitizers in my entire life as I did during my US trip.

Its just a funny novelty item. Some Americans like crude stuff, look up "mud flap girl" for another meme item people would put on their trucks (big trucks). Or look up "calvin peeing"

I've never seen them irl but i can also see the morality police getting offended by them and demanding a ban.

Why do people even like hand-sanitizers? I don't like how they feel on my hands.
I need to use my hands for important sensitive activities, such as picking my lips or browsing Jow Forums on my smartphone, so I don't like the moist feeling I have on my hands and fingers after using hand-sanitizer.

Fair enough, all of the men in my ex's family were manly men types and would always go on about manliness and shit so maybe it was that, but even when I met some of her friends they were the same way, even some of the girls
