Things that are super popular in the world except in America

😂😂😂

Hey! I’m American and I know exactly where Canadiana is!
It’s right between that white area at the top of every map and New York and some other places to the West that also have names.

Yes, that’s true, bikes are very popular here in The States.
They are beautiful, amazing machines and require very skilled riders.

I hate driving anywhere near motorcycles though, if that guy spills I really do not want to crush him with my car. I have no desire to kill a guy, the damage to my Chevy would annoy the hell out of me and then dealing with the insurance company for killing a guy in traffic probably requires a lot of phone calls.

For starters, America includes North/Central/South America so your list is more general board BS.

"For starters, America includes North/Central/South America"

No, it doesn't, at least not if you're from a place that subscribes to the seven continent model (the vast majority of the world subscribes to the seven continent model). If you want to refer to a continent you say "North America" or "South America," obviously ("central" is a different thing altogether, i.e., it's not a continent like North America and South America). If you want to refer to North America and South America collectively you say "the Americas."

"America" refers to the United States of America for the same reason that "Germany" refers to the Federal Republic of Germany, and "Sweden" refers to the Kingdom of Sweden, and so on. It's a shortened form of the official name of the country and it's the only country in the world with "America" in its official name.

America is one thing, the Americas is something else.

A burger is pretty simple.

Canada is like this too. Some of the larger cities have much better public transport as well, but my city only recently reach the million mark in the last decade and transportation is lacking. This is a driving city. We also don't have transport between cities like they do in Europe. Taking the train was easy and mostly affordable. Here, it's cheaper to fly. But then again, it's also cheaper for me to book a flight to England if I want to go to Toronto, just get off there, but that's another story.

When I lived in Austria in the 90s I went on a hiking trip and we walked through 3 countries in 3 weeks. Last summer I did a 2 week hike and although I walked from one national park to another, Banff and Jasper are really one small part of Alberta, let alone Canada.

I would say Amsterdam is very pedestrian friendly.

Overall you are spot on. A lot of European cities deter the use of the motor car.

Cities were built knowing most Americans own cars, and they had to accommodate that fact. Most Americans have cars because our country is so massive compared to most others, particularly Europe. As such, friends and families are spread out much more. I agree cities should provide better public transport, but it's still an issue with how to handle the vehicles that are needed to travel outside the cities.

Just ask hownos.

I love subtitles. I prefer using them since I'm a fan of anime. You sometimes miss certain words due to sudden noise and don't hear them, thus ruining the moment. Also, you can watch movies at night with the volume very softly and won't disturb anybody.

In my opinion, any film in a language you cannot understand should be watched in that spoken language with subs. Then if you like the film watch it the next time dubbed if you want. I’ve seen several films where crucial dialogue was changed in the dubbed version.

It's a visual medium, and if you are forced to read the dialog, it takes your eyes away from the overall screen. You literally can't be looking at both and be fully immersed, so I get why some people don't like it. I love some films with subtitles, but what I said holds true despite that.
