A few examples include s*x questions on askreddit, “this” comments, nolife powermods, jokes being more frequent than actual answers

    I saw this complaint on reddit a lot, but at the end of the day, it was a US based site. Of course there will be mostly Americans and they will default to that understanding.

    Also, the US is a large country. It’s not like Europe where you’re a day trip away from 5 other countries. Most Americans can’t afford travel outside the US, so they only have exposure to the many cultures within the US.

    The hate Americans get for not catering discussion on a US based site to the global community is really what’s strange.

      You can travel in a straight line over land 2700 miles from Washington to Florida without leaving the United States. Make a foray into Canada and you can travel a 4300 mile long straight line from Alaska to Florida without leaving a country that speaks majority English.

        I’m pretty sure that if you visit all states and provinces, it would be a lot more than 4300 miles

          True that. I was just looking at straight lines (or what “straight line” is when you’re traveling across a sphere)
