Australian uses last few moments of online freedom to impotently unleash 20 years of built up sneed at Americans.

It’s been annoying me for the past 20 years. Today’s example is an argument about how taxes work. One guy said he was gonna make a bot that corrects people. I said your country isn’t the only one who uses reddit. He told me to get over it, because reddit is an American website.

I did a Google and US traffic is between 48-54%

Muh recipes and games😡😡:

Why do you let it bother you?

The tax law discussion happened today and by itself it should not enrage me.

But I see it happen a lot in recipe groups, or gaming groups, or home improvement groups, gardening groups, you name it, any hobby, anywhere. It gets infuriating when they're giving advice that is 100% useless to half the population, even when the OP states very clearly what country they are in.

G*mers being bigoted towards timezones:

One of the most frustrating things is when users on a sub (eg. Nintendo, Audible) will post news like “there’s a 50% sale on until Friday”! And there is no “US only” tag or anything, because it’s just assumed that America is the default. It is so minor but it grinds my gears.

This is literally an issue of demographics:

America has a population of 328.2 million people. Australia and the UK have a combined population of 92.01 million people. That is almost a 80/20 ratio of Americans in the English speaking western world. So yes, if you go on an American based social media site there is a good site it's going to be America-centric.

Really not a hard concept to understand, unless you're being purposefully obtuse about it because "America bad =(((, please clap" -39

I'd rather visit Afghanistan than America bro:

America is second on my list at the moment of places I don't want to visit

Taking your comment literally would mean you'd rather visit either Afghanistan or Sudan before the US, as only one country is worse.

Sydney vs Melbourne civil war:

Not much different from Sydney and Melbourne residents thinking they live in the only important city/state in Australia.

It's not true if you have to say it:

Australia is the greatest because we don’t have to go around saying it. Welcome home new to the country brother.

Australia is such an unremarkable, uninteresting place. Like imagine getting a free trip to Australia. Who cares? What is there to do in Australia? There are nicer beaches all over the US coasts and all of Europe. There’s better mountains everywhere. I’ve lived in nicer forests than Australia has. There’s that opera house in Sydney that looks nice but you can’t spend an entire trip looking at the exterior of a building.

Kangaroos are pretty cool but don’t really count as a selling point.

What do people even DO in Australia? It gives mad poorer-Kentucky vibes.

You can always pick out horribly boring and cultureless people when they say their dream place to travel is Australia. You know they can only think about how it's hot there, there are kangaroos, and maybe they can picture the Sydney opera house. There is literally no reason to travel 24 hours to go to that big boring rock and I disregard anyone who wishes to do so.

24 hours to fly to Sydney from basically anywhere that matters then ANOTHER 24 hours into the middle of nowhere to see a fricking rock

The only thing interesting about Australia is the unique flora/fauna, you can get basically the same experience by going to your nearest zoo.

Yeah, but the local zoo won't let you get into the enclosure to get punched in the face by a 'roo.

That's the kind of authentic experience you can only get in Oz.

Euros don't even need sand to call it a beach.

That's because sand constitutes prime real estate for boats landing 🏀🏀. Therefore the European Commission, after a discussion spanning months and countless conference calls, has unanimously decided to ship away all the sand and hide it in yo mamma's butt.

Euro beaches are truly pathetic. Europe is the most overrated continent in general. The only thing they have over the US is that the cities haven't been destroyed by the highway system and they have lots of samey old buildings.

Australia and the UK have a combined population of 92.01 million people.

Like the Europoors, burger-adjacent people always pull this aggregating crap to feel more worthy. "Well if you lump all 2 billion Europoors in a group, then we're so big and strong and tough. You should change your mind please!"

They simply refuse to admit that they are inferior, every single one of them
