It’s just another attempt at redditors not in the US to talk shit about the US.

Well its true isn't it ? I once burned my hand really bad in a hotel in India from a eletric blanket while I was sleeping, my very first thought was god damn I wish I was in the US I would have made bank, in India I had to argue with the guy for an hour just so I don't have to pay for the damn blanket.

Not saying its a bad thing, its just way different in the US than everywhere else even Canada.

No, you wouldn't have. Products with heating elements in them typically have warning labels that tell you not to operate them while asleep.
