@@izabelezyleify As far as I'm aware jaywalking isn't even a thing in London, you can just cross wherever you want, as long as you wait for a clearing, or the cars aren't moving. In some areas of Europe the law still applies though.
From Czech Republic, I was going to school ( I was +-15yo) and there´s a crossing right in front of the building, but at a slightly weird angle. So I took the tiniest shortcut, walking literary not even a meter away from the crossing when a got stopped by a cop that threatened to fine me. (Asked for my ID and stuff) All while ignoring other people further away doing the exact same thing.

Technically, obesity is classified as disease now. It is pandemic. I too laughed at that line, but giving it a second thought, i think we shouldn't laught at them as they are suffering from morbid obesity which isn't just about being "lazy" etc but rather environmental too. The food industry etc. 🫠

Visited Northern California from Southern California after my mom died and I was shocked when some younger kids said hi to me and how I was able to cut through the property of the fire department to go to the Post office without getting arrested or yelled at by the fire department. But it was some smaller city than what I was used to, so that's probably why
i live very close to the Canadian border (Buffalo, we have bridge, called the peace bridge, funny since the bridge leads to Canada, which is as friendly as it gets) and I'll tell you, the respect Canada gets where im from is out of this world, Canadians are like Brothers here, come to a sabres game wearing a Canadian jersey, its all good, we also get a lot of Canadians here, i been to Canada, and was wearing a shirt with the an American flag patch, just a small one on the corner of my shirt, some guy came up to my aunt, brother, and I, and said ''if you need any help, i'll be happy to, and im sure other people will be too'' really felt true to the name, and yeah i went to diner, portions are perfect, didnt seem as much as my hometown, but it was enough, was full and didnt have to take any home, 10/10 would go again
I come from Finland and the only things open 24/7 are gas stations but when i came to the U.S i saw that pretty much every store was open 24 hours and the meal sizes in restaurants were enormous
As an American I feel I can kind of relate to this, my home state of Montana is considered pretty rural so not a lot of cities. So, the stores in the cities are mostly 24/7 whilst only the gas stations in towns are 24/7 and sometimes not even the gas stations are open. People from out of my state will ask 'Where is the the nearest Wal-Mart?' and I get the plesure of telling them 'About 150 miles (roughly 300 kilometers) that way.' Usually pointing back up the road they just drove down.
I'm American and even I think that most restaurant portions are oversized. If I get a burger or something I almost never get a side with it because it's just too much food.
It's for a few reasons. The big gap makes people feel less private so they tend to take care of business faster which can be good for high traffic areas. Annnd if the door got stuck and an emergency happened you could escape under that 2-3 foot gap.

I am an American... there are times when I have WTF moments. And it is over the more extreme "normal" things you see. Like the people at walmart that are dressed weirdly. Saw a 70+ yo man, dressed like a catholic school girl. Yeah... that sight will forever haunt my nightmares.
I one time saw a drag queen at my local walmart, and at Martins(northern indiana exclusive) I saw a 40ish year old man dressed up as a woman, blond wig and everything. Scarred my 4 year old mind forever
The one time I'd be okay with seeing somebody dressed weirdly in a Walmart would be if it's somebody dressed in one of those inflatable dinosaur costumes because it would probably be somebody making a YT video. I actually saw somebody in one of those suits before...it was weird.
I saw some guy with basketball shorts over his basketball shorts over his boxers. I also saw this guy with braids dragging across the floor. He was maybe 6'3", and had at least 5 inches of his hair dragging across the floor.

Obviously they were and they seemed to enjoy themselves and that made me happy to see for whatever reason.
@Tasty Loaf Yes, I shall forever associate Walmart with Natalie Portman giving birth and a floofy-haired librarian jumping to her rescue. Not why I became a library technician, but come to think of it, I DID admire Forny an awful lot.

I kinda want to hear someone call a potato a potahto It would sound SO wrong but I’ve never heard it outside the saying cx And yeah, I agree, although I guess like in Japanese (cause tomato is a loan word) and I think also in Spanish (although I might be just thinking of “tomatillo”, I learned food words in like fourth grade Spanish so I don’t remember it well) it’s “to mah to” so maybe that’s why? Still pretty weird thing to assume either way cx

After 25 refills I had to just scream "PLEASE! STOP"... it took me 25 refills to notice the waitress was refilling the glass very silently without asking anyone. I thought there was a limit, the she'd stop... And after telling her to stop, another waitress refilled my glass... USA is amazing, except when you are obsessed with empty glasses
Just move the glass to the far side of your plate, then the server will ask if you want a refill. If you leave it on the side closest to the waitress, they assume that you want topped off.
im the kind of person that is a completionist when it comes to food. most of the restaurants ive been to ask you if you want a refill before doing it, though.

I love it when foreigners come to the US for the first time and are blown away by how different it is. When I was in high school we had 4 transfer students. 1 from France, 1 from Brazil, 1 from Syria, and 1 from somewhere in Romania. Made friends with all but the Brazilian girl, didn't even know she was from Brazil. Honestly thought she was just some rich, white girl, who was extremely stuck up and superficial. Someone had to convince me she was the Brazilian. The fact that she could only speak english and didn't have an accent didn't help her case. The other 3 were awesome, literally everything I showed them was amazing to them. Favorite part was when the French girl asked me if it's true that every American has a gun so I pulled out my 9mm S&W and she freaked out and almost jumped out of the car. The real kicker is the Syrian guy in the back seat laughed and said "calm down, I have a bigger gun at home." She didn't calm down, good times.
bruh aint she litterally from Brazil??? ik its not mexico, but i heard its close lmfao. Honestly, I visited oregon and a few states time to time for shopping and shit. Went to disneyland and visited some friends in cali. America was pretty much just Canada, as there was no difference other than different units on the road signs.

10:00 Yea thats bad heat packing etiquette. I carry open and/or concealed EVERY DAY. You keep your hand off the piece if you ain't pullin it. If you gotta adjust it, do your thing (no need to over think it). But frivolous strap fondling, generally frowned upon. Gonna make people nervous with that shit..
The guys couldve been plain-clothes cops, I see them walk around with their hands on their holsters in restaraunts all the time. But yeah, poor open carry etiquette.
To be fair, criminals will have their gun in their pocket or under their shirt with their hand on it instead of open carrying. I still would never open carry unless I wanted to show off at a rally or something. These days people are not used to seeing it and yes it does make them uncomfortable, which makes you inconsiderate. Concealed carry is much better for everyone.
I dont think OP meant hand on the grip, ready to draw, I think they meant that their wrist/forearm was on top of their guns, like a lot of open carriers do in lines so that the person directly behind them cant just grab their gun.

FalconCooper That isn't the point, the point is that when there's an overabundance of food, there is a high chance that people lose control. Just because they lose control for only one week because they're only here for one week doesn't mean that wouldn't be their diet if they lived here.

To all people outside of the US who are curious as to why we have so much food. About all of our states in the middle of the country are devoted mostly to nothing but farming. That's why they are called "Fly over states". Because there's nothing besides farms mostly.
By your age I can say you are incapable of saying with 100% certainty that just about ANYTHING is or isn't true, nevermind the state of an entire country.

There is one thing to be said about the Fahrenheit-Scale: 100°F is roughly human body-temperature, so I get that somewhere between the 60 and 90-mark it would likely be comfortable. ANyway: Can't we just all agree to use Kelvin?
@@schwarzeseis4031 That's true. Humans don't live in boiling water (or air of a similar temp) so basing the system off that doesn't make sense for everyday use. Celsius confines pretty much all of the normal temperatures on Earth to a small chunk of the scale. It's much easier to gauge temperature differences in Fahrenheit as the degrees are smaller intervals, though one could get used to Celsius's decimals as well. Fahrenheit is a good idea, but the 98.6 body temp thing is a really unfortunate byproduct of it being developed before modern temperature reading measures.

@@mwbgaming28 Sure. The ones who are against paying proper wages, is the owners of the businesses! The employers of America, because it will affect the bottom line of their company. When the owners of American businesses want to keep something the way it is, and it is these people who pay off the politicians the most, it will stay that way. I'm 63; In the 1960's, I really believed that things would gradually change for the better. But most of those things haven't changed at all. Why? Because in America, virtually everything only changes when someone or a group of someones is going to make a profit off of it. And who profits by keeping the server income system based on tips? The owners of the businesses, of course! So don't expect it to change in America. Statistically, I will probably be dead in 8 years (male lifespan averages around 71 years old here).

And I was very confused as to why the majority of them do not speak 2 languages, I thought we all did, and then those who upon finding I'm Spanish they go to me and start " Oh I studied Spanish for four years" and then when they start to speak is just..awful, at least they trying tho :/. I was once in a conversation with some guy at the Bus station, he noticed I had an accent and asked where was I from, anyway I told him and he was like " oh, in what part of the US is that? Never heard of that state" and I was like wtf they teach 'em at school?
I know bits and pieces of Spanish and Romanian, when it comes to Spanish, I have the vocabulary of a foul-mouthed 3 year old. My Romanian is like that of a foul-mouthed 2 year old. My English? Oh dear God, you'd die laughing at how much I cuss, but other than that, I have the vocabulary of the average english speaking adult.
Only the southern parts and west coast of the USA speak 2 languages because of Mexico and cuba Puerto Rico the north and Midwest of usa dont care to learn a new language
I'm korean and in the first day that I went to the U.S me and my brother were shocked because there was so many people that were seriously overweight. Some people that I saw needed wheelchairs to move around and in my 20 years of living in korea I haven't seen a single person that had issues moving around because they were overweight.
Those fat people are the countries strategic fat reserves. In an emergency we can use them to make tallow and soap so we always have plenty. Many of our land whales are big enough that we can harvest from them without them knowing!

@@izabelezyleify As far as I'm aware jaywalking isn't even a thing in London, you can just cross wherever you want, as long as you wait for a clearing, or the cars aren't moving. In some areas of Europe the law still applies though.
From Czech Republic, I was going to school ( I was +-15yo) and there´s a crossing right in front of the building, but at a slightly weird angle.
So I took the tiniest shortcut, walking literary not even a meter away from the crossing when a got stopped by a cop that threatened to fine me. (Asked for my ID and stuff)

Technically, obesity is classified as disease now. It is pandemic. I too laughed at that line, but giving it a second thought, i think we shouldn't laught at them as they are suffering from morbid obesity which isn't just about being "lazy" etc but rather environmental too. The food industry etc. 🫠

I come from Finland and the only things open 24/7 are gas stations but when i came to the U.S i saw that pretty much every store was open 24 hours and the meal sizes in restaurants were enormous
As an American I feel I can kind of relate to this, my home state of Montana is considered pretty rural so not a lot of cities. So, the stores in the cities are mostly 24/7 whilst only the gas stations in towns are 24/7 and sometimes not even the gas stations are open. People from out of my state will ask 'Where is the the nearest Wal-Mart?' and I get the plesure of telling them 'About 150 miles (roughly 300 kilometers) that way.' Usually pointing back up the road they just drove down.

“Those gaps in your toilet stall doors... what are they even for?”
“Peeking.”
waimeagavin808 it is really strange they have such big gaps and they still make them with huge gaps.
It's for a few reasons. The big gap makes people feel less private so they tend to take care of business faster which can be good for high traffic areas. Annnd if the door got stuck and an emergency happened you could escape under that 2-3 foot gap.
I wish stalls were more covered for privacy, but I think it's to save money. The US is capitalist after all.
Cole Dickinson how fat are you to need the height of a small child to get through
The gaps are so you can see if the stall is occupied.

I love how going to Walmart is an amazing thing for foreigners
I used to be a Walmart cashier as this tiny older couple stops by my register with some chips and such. They don't talk much but they have a look of wonder on there face as they almost stare at me (I'm nothing really impressive, roughly 6' and stocky with some chub) but they had me a card with the bank of China so I ask if they're visiting. Obviously they were and they seemed to enjoy themselves and that made me happy to see for whatever reason.
I'd certainly insist on experiencing Walmart if I went to America. It's a legend overseas. Also, I enjoyed 'Where the Heart Is'.
@@gracehowell. Hot damn, I remember that movie!
@Tasty Loaf Yes, I shall forever associate Walmart with Natalie Portman giving birth and a floofy-haired librarian jumping to her rescue. Not why I became a library technician, but come to think of it, I DID admire Forny an awful lot.

A friend of mine once claimed a waiter thought they were speaking another language, because they pronounced "Tomato" as "Tomahto".
It’s a long A sound in American English
@@katcel16 Yeah, but it's kinda weird that someone would think you're speaking a completely different language over a slight change in pronunciation. "Tomato, Tomahto" is a well known phrase in the west, and there's even a song about it (Though, to my knowledge, nobody has ever called a potato a potahto.)
Tamato, Toronto.
I kinda want to hear someone call a potato a potahto
It would sound SO wrong but I’ve never heard it outside the saying cx
And yeah, I agree, although I guess like in Japanese (cause tomato is a loan word) and I think also in Spanish (although I might be just thinking of “tomatillo”, I learned food words in like fourth grade Spanish so I don’t remember it well) it’s “to mah to” so maybe that’s why? Still pretty weird thing to assume either way cx
It happened to me a few times just because of my accent. I was in a store and asked the cashier for a pack of Marlboro and she replied slowly and loudly "SORRY, DO YOU SPEAK ENGLISH?" I'm from Ireland.

The refills are crazy. I have an obsession with leaving and empty glass, it doesn't matter if it's water or soda... or anything! I can't leave any liquid in the glass.
After 25 refills I had to just scream "PLEASE! STOP"... it took me 25 refills to notice the waitress was refilling the glass very silently without asking anyone. I thought there was a limit, the she'd stop...
And after telling her to stop, another waitress refilled my glass... USA is amazing, except when you are obsessed with empty glasses
Just move the glass to the far side of your plate, then the server will ask if you want a refill. If you leave it on the side closest to the waitress, they assume that you want topped off.
Sounds like a personal problem.
You can always tell them no more...
im the kind of person that is a completionist when it comes to food. most of the restaurants ive been to ask you if you want a refill before doing it, though.

Made friends with all but the Brazilian girl, didn't even know she was from Brazil. Honestly thought she was just some rich, white girl, who was extremely stuck up and superficial. Someone had to convince me she was the Brazilian. The fact that she could only speak english and didn't have an accent didn't help her case. The other 3 were awesome, literally everything I showed them was amazing to them. Favorite part was when the French girl asked me if it's true that every American has a gun so I pulled out my 9mm S&W and she freaked out and almost jumped out of the car. The real kicker is the Syrian guy in the back seat laughed and said "calm down, I have a bigger gun at home." She didn't calm down, good times.

Concealed carry is much better for everyone.

There is one thing to be said about the Fahrenheit-Scale: 100°F is roughly human body-temperature, so I get that somewhere between the 60 and 90-mark it would likely be comfortable.

@@schwarzeseis4031 That's true. Humans don't live in boiling water (or air of a similar temp) so basing the system off that doesn't make sense for everyday use. Celsius confines pretty much all of the normal temperatures on Earth to a small chunk of the scale. It's much easier to gauge temperature differences in Fahrenheit as the degrees are smaller intervals, though one could get used to Celsius's decimals as well. Fahrenheit is a good idea, but the 98.6 body temp thing is a really unfortunate byproduct of it being developed before modern temperature reading measures.

Hey! It's better than having to be a servant living under the stairs!
@@d.e.b.b5788 why not just pay proper wages?
Answer the question
@@mwbgaming28 Sure. The ones who are against paying proper wages, is the owners of the businesses! The employers of America, because it will affect the bottom line of their company. When the owners of American businesses want to keep something the way it is, and it is these people who pay off the politicians the most, it will stay that way. I'm 63; In the 1960's, I really believed that things would gradually change for the better. But most of those things haven't changed at all. Why? Because in America, virtually everything only changes when someone or a group of someones is going to make a profit off of it. And who profits by keeping the server income system based on tips? The owners of the businesses, of course! So don't expect it to change in America. Statistically, I will probably be dead in 8 years (male lifespan averages around 71 years old here). So about 99% of the things that I thought would change for the better when I was 14 (in 1970), will not change by the time I die.

For my part, I don't have a mind for languages. I don't talk much (wouldn't want to bother someone), but I'm friendly enough. At least I try to be.
Well the U.S is massive, and Canadians speak pretty much the same English (except for Quebec) so we don’t really need to be multilingual
Nobody cares about world history and geography in America, except me,
I know bits and pieces of Spanish and Romanian, when it comes to Spanish, I have the vocabulary of a foul-mouthed 3 year old. My Romanian is like that of a foul-mouthed 2 year old. My English? Oh dear God, you'd die laughing at how much I cuss, but other than that, I have the vocabulary of the average english speaking adult.
Only the southern parts and west coast of the USA speak 2 languages because of Mexico and cuba Puerto Rico the north and Midwest of usa dont care to learn a new language
I'm korean and in the first day that I went to the U.S me and my brother were shocked because there was so many people that were seriously overweight. Some people that I saw needed wheelchairs to move around and in my 20 years of living in korea I haven't seen a single person that had issues moving around because they were overweight.
Those fat people are the countries strategic fat reserves. In an emergency we can use them to make tallow and soap so we always have plenty. Many of our land whales are big enough that we can harvest from them without them knowing!
@@MrKezzerdrix I feel bad for laughing-
I don’t
I refuse to be one of those people
Amazing hu?
Inb4 “OMG GUNS”
