If you're from the US and you ever
wanted to know what the internet feels like from a non-USAmerican perspective (please note that the rest of the world is not a monolith either and none of these apply without exception):
• Everybody's talking about brands and
stores you've never seen in real life. You
generally assume they exist, but they
might as well be one giant prank the rest
of the internet is in on.
• People mention how unhealthy the cafeteria
food was. You remember your school lunches of rice and an assortment of vegetables and feel a little confused.

• Somebody talks about some legal process or something similar. They don't mention which country's legal system this pertains to. You know anyway.
• People talk about politics. None of it
pertains to you. Many posts contain guilt
tripping. “How can you not care about
this?? Why won't you reblog this?? People
need to know this about x candidate for y
position!" You're busy trying to stay on top
of the political landscape in your own
country.

• You're still not entirely sure how much an
inch is. Or a foot. Or even how many of the
former there are in the latter. You maybe
know your height in them.
• You have no idea how much a pound is. You'd also like to know how the fuck pound shortens to Ibs.
• What the fuck is "military time"?

• People tell you that you must publicly
denounce Chick-fil-A or you're homophobic. You don't even know what a Chick-fil-A is.
• People say you don't know LGBTQ+ history. What they mean is you don't know USAmerican LGBTQ+ history. Nobody cares about your country's history.
• You're "called out" on using an "offensive"
term. It's (a direct translation of) a completely harmless word where you live.
