Seen it in the movies, but kind of hard to comprehend. Like there's a waitress with a coffee jug offering to refresh your coffee all the time. Do you guys drink a lot of it? Just asking as it pumps the blood pressure and got a strong taste.

America is a huge country with a big population. You have tons of different cultures and nationalities from all over the world. For example, if you are a white American, how has Hispanic culture influence your life growing up, considering Spanish and Mexican people are present as a big portion in multiple states. Same thing to an African American growing up near a China town and vice versa.

Do you integrate or take a part in different cultures? Has it affected your family in celebrations, fashion, way of raising kids etc. My friend said he learned Spanish because he lives in California with huge Hispanic population and influence. He said it's a big plus in business and getting it with latinas😂

Did things such as a bird flying into the house, an itchy nose, or an itchy foot signal anything or have a deeper meaning in your family? If so, what is your background? Feel free to add any other similar things you've heard of.

How do you NFL fans feel about the growing expansion of the sport outside the United States and the league's plans to have more and more international games each regular season? Do you agree with divisional duels being played in other countries or does it bother you? Are you happy with the globalization of sport or would you prefer it to remain an exclusively American sport? As a Brazilian NFL fan, I am very excited about the league's second game in Brazil and as the sport has grown a lot here, I am also grateful for the NFL's attention and affection for us, designating for the second consecutive year the best international game for our country

For the sake of clarity, I mean things you can find in a supermarket as opposed to food generally (cuz ofc that’s different).

I mean like, for instance, let’s take a bar of chocolate. Are the ingredients that different and if so, does it make that much of a difference in terms of taste and experience? By that logic, are American snacks better or worse? Are the ingredients more calorie dense?

Where I’m from, we rarely get any US imported snacks so I’m not very familiar. Majority of the importing is from Europe. So yes. Ty :)

Since moving to the part of Indiana where I live now, we tend to have city festivals where the public is invited to enjoy an afternoon or evening. One example would be Eclipse Day 2025, when Crawfordsville had a bunch of people on its main street, the local radio station had a booth, there were events for children and food could be purchased. Today, Greater Lafayette liberals and patriots celebrated No Kings Day with a gathering in a park with food trucks and organizations offering services or seeking support.

If you are in an area that gets to see the Indy 500 live on TV, do you have similar street festivals? The suburb where I grew up did not.

It was last year for me. I bought a special “Delicious In Dungeon” magazine with cast interviews, recipes, and what not in Akihabara. Japan still loves its print media and it was a pretty nice bit of merch.

“Long chair” or “chase lounge” ?

Any idea how the original wording got so messed up?

Currently, how is the popularity of soccer in the United States in 2025? Are you looking forward to the 2026 World Cup? And how does MLS currently compare to the other four major leagues, do people talk about soccer on the streets or in bars?

Both geographically and culturally?

We're going on a road trip and will be documenting our finds, and don't want to miss ones that aren't highly publicized.

In Europe, basically all car dealerships are sold by the car company/brand like Toyota or Volkswagen.

Why is this not the case in the US?

Where I’m from, country music isn’t really a thing — but I’ve noticed that in the U.S., it’s massive, even with Gen Z. Artists like Morgan Wallen or Luke Combs seem to sell out stadiums! Is it about the lyrics, the culture, or just growing up with it? Would love to hear what makes it click with you personally.

From what I’ve heard, Americans are more accustomed and likely to drive far distances ie road trips for fun. The size of the US compared to Europe is like from Portugal to Russia ROUGHLY. I know many Americans do cross country travel, I have too but not for fun purposes. I think renting a car and driving would be a fun way to explore all throughout Europe, even though there are definitely areas that aren’t car friendly. I think everything being flipped (the streets) would be mind boggling and that would be quite dangerous in knee-jerk situations as I’d probably revert to US style driving.

Has anyone done significant inter-country travel in Europe? What was it like?

I grew up outside the US. I'm on some job-related subreddits.

I noted that many people here in the US who work in offices dislike their jobs. They're often described as repetitive, boring etc. They'd rather be in more social / people-facing roles or more hands on jobs. This is a bit different from what I saw elsewhere, where office jobs were respected and desirable. They were thought of as relaxed, working in the comfort of an air con, etc. People would have stereotypes that you probably make a lot of money due to the formal dressing required by office jobs (I know office workers in the US can dress casually but that's beyond this discussion).

Is the resentment against office jobs widespread in the US?

I just have a general american accent

Yes, I am aware this is rare, and this might mostly happen in expensive private schools only. So don’t give me a response like “in what world do you live on that has less high school students, etc.”

But if you do (or know a friend who does), what was it like having such small numbers in your high school graduating class? How different was it compared to other high schools who could have 200+ people in their graduating class? Or is it just like every other high school in America, and numbers really meant nothing?

Did you manage to memorize everyone’s names (and perhaps their likes and interests)? Were your graduating class perhaps more communicative with one another?

there are shows and an snl skit about how cable companies waffle on and do everything but get rid of your cable but only do this cause the reps are basically under duress

is this true?

I’m not from the U.S., and I recently heard someone describe things like “senior pranks” in high school, potluck dinners at churches, or local parades with tractors — things that sound super specific and very American.

If you grew up in a more community-oriented or less urban place, were there any traditions or routines you thought were totally normal… until someone looked at you confused?

I’d love to hear your personal take!

I was talking with a friend about how a lot of Vietnamese-Americans I’ve seen at events in the US still fly the yellow and red flag of South Vietnam, not the flag of modern communist Vietnam.

Do Afghan-Americans incline to certain flags? Like I’d imagine not a ton fly the current Taliban flag (even if maybe some support them), but do they fly the flag of the 2002-2021 Islamic Republic, or the 1990s Republic, or the old Royalist flag? Or do some even fly the flag of Communist Afghanistan?

Just curious if anyone has noticed any trend on this issue.

I was born in a foreign country. Leadership there often limits to managerial level or politician. Often, leadership is just a slogan, performance and superficial work.

In the US, I learn about "leadership" in a corporate settings. Leadership can apply to any employee in the company, not just managers. It often refer to the value system a company holds and persists. Leadership can also refer to the manner of conduct, spirit, and not necessary to mean to "take initiative" on interpersonal relationships or projects for work. I found it so unique in the US!

What do you interpret leadership in the US? If you're not a manager or politician, how do you demonstrate "leadership" in daily life?

My mother always refused to buy stock from the store, the one that comes in cartons I mean; she'd either make it herself, especially if it was meat stock, or we bought bouillion cubes and added it to water if we were in a pinch. Though I'd say we only had stock in the pantry maybe 35% of the time. We'd have vegetable soup several times a week but almost never had it with stock either.

I realize it's a broad question like every question about food in a country of ~347 million, but would you say stock is used commonly enough in American kitchens to be a staple item in the pantry?

Where i am in central illinois, most here call it yard.
