And would firefighters really be called to get them down?

It seems like a strange reoccurring theme in American tv and movies.

Must have items (and what are those)? Quantities? Something else?

As a Chinese person myself I want to know if there are any hidden gems I have no idea about

Not including foreign accents.

My friend in the coast guard claims he had to have a translator on board to understand the thick Boston accents when sailing in that area. Not sure if it’s real or a sailor’s tale.

Like is there food available or do I have to carry my own snacks?
How does the security looks and what should I not bring? and are there like competitions like burger competitions or something cuz I see them on reels

Basically what should I expect when it comes to going to the Super Bowl

Like finger food little pies ? And while we're here what about dimsims ?

Be that of origins, national prevalence, historical stories, I’d like to know which of these food items are the epitome of American cuisine

Where if someone ask where this food is from, they would immediately say it is American cuisine as a whole, not state to state

We did both everyday until around 4th grade then afterwards it was only the American flag.

When I was living in China I very rarely see snail mail; most documents were electronically transmitted or sent via express mail service

Then I studied and worked in the US, and I feel my inbox is being bombarded every day. My DL is delivered via letter mail. My company sends me my paystub via letter mail until I told HR I only want electronic version. IRS sends me notifications they also sent via email. Etcetc...

PS: I've only lived in the US and China, I'm unsure if China is the outlier here.

I’m an Indian working in India, in an Indian company. I’ve noticed that in every Indian company I’ve worked with, the focus is entirely on meeting monthly Revenue targets.

There is zero focus on actions meant to drive results in a longer time window. People love to discuss such ideas, but won’t put in the effort to make them happen, since “the focus is entirely on meeting this month’s target right now.”

I feel this prevents some genuine innovation. Are American companies also like this on the inside, or do they have some focus on the medium to long term?

Is it more an occasion treat or an everyday for you?

In Germany we have these big 1l glass bottles Coca Cola in better super markets. I just drinking it in this moment and somehow it tastes much better, than Coke from a plastik bottle. We also have these usual 0.3l and 0.2l glass bottles, mainly for restaurants but you can also buy it in „beverage shops“ (Getränkemarkt) here. Do you guys have these big Coke in glass bottles in the super markets or special shops for beverages?

In the UK and Australia whenever someone gets Botox and lip fillers, there will always be someone who casually makes fun of them or gossips about them for it etc. The nouveau riche are often the ones who get it the most and there are songs and memes making fun of that set whenever a guy gets a massive fake tan or fake white teeth.

19 states issue drivers licenses to non-citizens, so that wouldn’t be proof.

We are specifically discouraged from carrying our social security cards for fear of ID theft.

Less than half of Americans have passports.

Could you prove your citizenship on the spot if you had to based on what you carry on your person when you leave home?

Several persons who lived in the US or have visited someone there told me that if you visit a friend at home that you can help yourself to the fridge without asking?

Is that true?

In what situation / with what people is this "allowed"? Like friends, close friends. co-workers, boss, .... ?

I was born in Germany and lived around Europe until I was 16 had some cousins that lived in the states and when we'd come visit one of the things I looked forward to was going to the mall. Everytime I'd hit up the auntie Anne's for a cinnamon sugar pretzel. I was looking at their menu the other day and saw they have some sort of sweet almond pretzel. Was wondering if that was a thing they always had and I was just so dead set on the cinnamon sugar pretzel as a kid I had blinders to anything else or if it's recent. And by recent I mean post 2002 as I've not seen an auntie Anne's since then.​

Growing up as a non-American, the Yankees were like synonymous with America. Like Jay-Z said, he made the Yankee hat synonymous with America. And we all knew the Yankees were rich as hell.

Now I see this article yesterday of the Yankees claiming they can't compete with Los Angeles financially:

https://www.sportsnet.ca/mlb/article/yankees-steinbrenner-admits-it-is-difficult-to-compete-with-dodgers-financially/

And I've seen the Dallas Cowboys are worth more than the Yankees today in Forbes.

What happened to the behemoth that is the New York Yankees?

Important and pivotal question from a Canadian here…in Canada it’s pretty much across the board that burgers are always well done, and typically the server doesn’t even offer an option.

I travel around the states 4/5 times a year and they always ask how I want my burger cooked. IMO ground beef shouldn’t be eaten less than pink. I might partake in something less well done in France or some fancy restaurant, but I just don’t get it. Steak I get, ground beef I do not.

Any Americans here eating medium rare or rare burgers? Change my mind lol

Yeah I'm American but also i don't know the answer to this. personally my school had a girls side and a boys side, but I've seen online some people it's all mixed on each floor (but not per room). Is one of the systems more frequently used??

It's a chain, and in general not known for it's cleanliness or UX, but I eat at the best in the chain ("Managed by Ezra the grandson" is the one), though really it's not really chain, just the same family, with different members owning different branches.

Anyhow it's 16NIS (4.45USD) for skewer of one of like 6 options... and there are some premium skewer. This is the heart of the place, the long grill. Is there anything like this in the US?

Or if you don’t live in a city, the metro city of your state?

The original question was: “Are Buskers common in American cities?” but I deleted it because I realize that it was too broad of a question to ask.

Did no one have to search up what "breaking bad" means? Like, did that expression immediately mean someone was breaking the law and leading a life of crime? Was it already a popular expression?
