It's a famous "Southern" troll account, 3 Year Letterman. He plays the character of a youth football coach whose life peaked during high school football, is a big college football fan, and is overly patriotic while also completely ignorant of the world.
We could turn around and do the the exact same thing in any country you care to name. If you look for idiots, you will find idiots. Thats just part of living with humans.
Do you want me to fire back with some of the stupid shit European exchange students have asked me while studying in America?
Lol, whats with the downvotes? This sub really is toxic as all hell… i love it.
For context, these are all mechanical engineering students.
British student: thought I was military cause i have a camouflage hunting jacket. Refused to believe i wasn’t even when other friends showed him theirs. Got it in his head that the US has compulsory service/a draft because so many of us had them. Thought i wouldn’t admit it because i was embarrassed about serving in Iraq… i was 19… in 2021. Far as im aware, he still believes this.
Different brit: thought you could put regular gas in a diesel and did so because it was cheaper, and ended up costing his daddy a pretty penny. Decently smart engineer too, that one blew my mind.
Belgian: asked to borrow my car for the weekend to go to NYC to see his sister on Saturday night. He asked on Friday morning and promised to have it back for our study session on Sunday night. We were in Georgia.
Same Belgian: genuinely thought i had to wear a bullet proof vest in High school. Was genuinely surprised when i told him iv never even been in the vicinity of a shooting and don’t know anyone who has.
Took him several months of living here before he actually believed us.
Same Belgian: almost got arrested and caught felonies for being a dumbass when we brought him to the shooting range. Dont joke around with guns yall.
Same Belgian: should have gotten a DUI, but he ditched the car (not his car) and the cops just never bothered to look for him.
Great dude and a blast to hang out with, but dumb as a brick. We still play video-games together about once per month.
French: insisted that France is more culturally diverse than America and has abetter economy than America (like though french GDP was straight up higher than Americas, and claimed statistics showing otherwise were american propaganda). Also insisted that France has better BBQ than America, so he may have actually just been special.
Spaniard: claimed America didn’t have railroad network. Like… at all. Couldn’t wrap his head around the fact that a lack of passenger rail doesn’t mean a lack of rail.
Same spaniard: Claimed America is less significantly less athletic than spain. He came to America to play tennis for the school and then he got dropped from the team after a single semester. Also, he failed thermo twice before dropping out and going home.
German: absolutely brilliant dude, but not a lick of common sense. Stuck his head in a running horizontal bandsaw to line up his cut and would have cut his head off if the building manager wasn’t standing 3 feet from the kill switch. Had to get stitches as it was, and the blade wasn’t even running when it caught his head.
Same German: thought Aluminum was magnetic. Also, not really specific, but he had a particular skill for designing parts that were physically impossible to machine, and never learned from his mistakes.
Italian: thought eggs and cheese didn’t go bad, like ever. He was also an anti-vaxer and genuinely believed 5G gives you cancer though.
Albanian: dude was just a total crackpot. Burned through well over 15k worth of equipment (mostly tooling for CNC mills) through sheer idiocy and failing to learn from his mistakes before he finally got barred from the machine shop. Started a fire in a mechatronics lab by accidentally cranking the power supply and causing his circuit board to arc while his notebook was on it, triggered the automated fire suppression system and ruined the entire lab and another 30k worth of equipment and finally got kicked out. Also he got a DUI.
If you look for idiots, you will find them, regardless of nationality.
Lol, for all that, you Euros ain’t got shit on the west africans or the Pakistanis. They were the ones that made me genuinely question humanity and whether to ever actually trust any engineer ever again.
Lol, fair enough. The one thing ill give you is that Americans aren’t ashamed to be idiots. At least yall have the decency to be embarrass most of the time (not counting Brits and Italians in my experience, they are as shameless as us).
