15 Cringeworthy Times Americans Misunderstood The Rest Of The World

Americans have and always will have a weird and unwarranted god complex, backed up by a very violent colonial history and years of ignorance. This is made particularly obvious whenever you visit any place on the internet, including but not limited to Reddit. Reddit's /r/S***AmericansSay is a unique and eye-opening subreddit that captures all the best examples of Americans being incredibly stupid online.

For someone living in the States, it's very easy to see the country as superior to everyone else's, since America is full of patriotism, and a handful of them are a bit unaware of anything that goes on in other countries. Sometimes, seeing this fantasy get obliterated by other non-Americans online is a sight to behold. This collection aims to highlight the most memorable examples of exactly that, offering insight into how American perspectives are viewed through the lens of global amusement and bewilderment. The internet is not anyone's safe space, especially if you aren't aware of what goes on anywhere else in the world.
