Americans and Europeans exchange questions for fun :)

[sootesheepy666]

I wanted to open up a place for Europeans and Americans to ask and answer each other's questions! Specifically, because I'm a curious American and also wanna know if y'all have any questions! My big one is, why do Europeans always resort to calling us fat, stupid, etc. during playful discourse online? I know not all of y'all do it but enough do that it got me curious.

For the fat part, it's because Obesity is higher in USA than in the rest of the world and everyone and their mom know it. Social networks don't help.The stupid part : your educative system is kind of shit, i guess. I wonder what are the USA's PISA and TIMSS?scores... Below average, i guess ?

Now, my question : why are you lumping europeans together while every country in Europe can't stand the others and begrudjingly accept them by pure necessity ? I mean, why are you putting me in the same bag as my hereditary ennemies whose food is an exception of chemical weapons treaties ?

I obviously know abt our higher obesity rate, I mean hell- I drove myself anorexic trying to avoid the stereotypes i just feel it's strange to call all of us fat yk? also, yes, it is... our education system is built to dumb us down so that moldy Cheeto men can control everything with no pushback.

Answer; I'm obviously not saying all Europeans are the same I just felt it'd be a lil strange to call out some countries and not others ig... I figured js saying Europeans as a whole wouldn't do any harm bc I want everyone's opinions anyways

stereotypes i just feel it's strange to call all of us fat yk?

a stereotype means classing everyone in the same group in the same way, no? so for people to stereotype americans as fat is uh yeah :| a stereotype

Many things can be contrasted with stadistics and to those questions USAians are the ones receiving more direct and collateral damage for sure, but if you ask me the strawman I'd make to attack one would be a whitey fatty wearing a cap, a rifle, a jumbo-sized chips bag and a T-shirt saying "babes, I'm rich". One thing that doesn't help is that many don't know that America is not the name of their country, and yet...

@sootesheepy666 If it helps, I know not all Americans are fat or stupid.
Stereotypes (positive and negative) say more about the person who believes in them more than anything (they're dumb)

My question: How common is home schooling really? It sounds like an odd concept to me.

Really not that common! I think it's more-so just that almond moms who homeschool are louder abt it online than moms who actually school their kids! (though with how bad our school system is it doesn't change much...)

uhm... I actually don't know? it's probably based on where you are but in my current place it's definitely railroads!

I remember seeing an article talking about how most people in the last 5 years, were born from a mother aged 40 in America.
if this holds true, this will defenetively mean that a large portion of the next generation of Americans, will be born with some form of autism, meaning you're going to get alot more railroads.

What...??? What does being born to 40 yr old women have anything to do with autism OR railroads??? I mean I've got autism, but I was born to a young mom-

People born out of older couples/especially mothers, tend to have much higher rates if autism (see chris-chan as an example)
People with autism tend to love machinery and especially tractors and trains.
