Oh come on. There can’t possibly be that many people outside the US right?
Well, there are at least twelve of us
Woah hold your horses there bossman. You and the guy in OPs post. You got a way to go before you can back that claim of “at least” up!
How sure are we that u/colmear isn’t just an alt of OP? It could be just OP claiming they don’t live in the US!
Your right. I’m such a fool! There’s no hope!
Okay let’s count. There’s you, there’s me. That makes two already… ehm who else?
Well, you have Mexico, European Mexico and The Surrenders.
whaddaya mean, the united states is the entire world!
hell, look at every alien sighting and you have your proof.
just, yknow, ignore the 7.7 billion other people on the planet
Then how the bloody hell are we supposed to leave?!
you just gotta double think even harder
They didn’t read the fine print from 1945
That’s because the rest of us just blame it on CIA weather balloons
Funny, I’m an American and I also blame it on the military industrial complex.
Specifically, fucking planes and now drones.
Are they as good or better than regular planes?
They’re extremely sexy. You can’t say they’re not.
Call me vanilla, but I’ve never wanted to have sex with a plane or a drone.
Now, if you want to talk about missiles… I don’t know what it is, but awww yeah!
I have never thought about the alien sighting thing. Are they really all or mostly in the US?
The vast majority. https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/ufo-sightings-by-country
One could certainly note that America also spends by far the most on things like stealth bombers and fighters, or that the most common types of sightings oh-so-coincidentally end up matching the profiles of those stealth planes once they become common knowledge.
I don’t remember where I read it (this was years ago) but The US had purposely experimented during the cold war with making people think they’ve seen ufo’s to gauge their reactions and to feed the frenzy to make russia think they have more tech than they actually do.
I’ve read they do this with our own military too so they can gauge the reaction of military personnel elsewhere in the world without exposing them to our secret technology. I’m like 99% sure that’s what all the recent UFO video stuff was that had been circling the Internet.
a good 80% easily
There are 3 countries in the world. The United States, Alaska, and Hawaii.
Alaska is up north so it’s in Canada you idiot
Isn’t Canada a State?
You’re thinking the state of seasonal depression
YeS BuT YoU SpEaK EnGlIsH!

You speak English because it’s the only language you know.
I speak English because it’s the only language you know.
We are not the same.

Literally DOZENS.
Edit: I apologize, I am actually a time traveler from 1982 when this was not the case
There are states in the US with a lower drinking age?
None that I know of that’s for sure
I’m fairly certain if a state tries to lower it they lose government funding
Some states have weird exceptions though where you can drink at home or sometimes even in a bar with parents permission
In what states is this not true? The National Minimum Drinking Age Act said that states needed to make the age 21 or else they would lose federal funding. Looks like they all complied from my quick research into it.
Uh, it is as far as I’m aware.

You’re incorrect. The National Minimum Drinking Age Act of 1984 made the minimum drinking age 21 in all 50 states.
What about the non-states? Puerto Rico? Guam? What about tribal nations? What about DC?
Not relevant to the current conversation.
There is no minimum drinking age in Wisconsin if you are with a parent or guardian. Minors can order, possess, and consume alcohol legal at any age, under the discretion of the bartender, as long as they are at the alcohol establishment with their parents or a legal guardian.
Which is specifically listed as an exception to the legal drinking age of 21.
Why didn’t they just say “in all states…” puzzles me. What other states can we be talking about?
Your neighbour, Mexico, has states for one.
Yeah, but no one actually lives there, right? And if they do, they’re certainly not on the internet.
Most countries do.
Is that true? Why does Canada have provinces and territories anyway?
Yeah, right, is their name “the United States of Mexico” or something? Ha!

All countries are states, and a good handful or so countries are federations which call their largest constituencies states, so Germany for example has states, as does Malaysia, as does Australia.
Edit: just reading now that there’s no consensus on what a state is exactly, so, fuck knows.
Post is probably fake. Anyone that thought they were talking to another American WOULD just say 50 States, or all the States.
I reckon someone is using multiple accounts so they can “murder” something to make a point. I’m surprised they didn’t throw some metric stuff in their to really throttle the pretentiousness.
What sick fuck drinks vodka coke?
He was 19ish he doesn’t know good drinks yet, just knows that vodka gets you drunk and coke helps it go down lol
Ikr? Ew. Real pirates only drink cuba libre! 🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️
I hate that this is an actual drink
Why? I was joking anyway, fighting over drinking preferences is pointless
cuba libre is amazing, though, to your credit
It’s not cool, but it is an easy drink. Even with a sensitive stomach, you can probably had it. No common allergens or irritants, bar the alcohol itself.
The GOP is actively fighting to raise the voting age too.
US states
United states states?
United States states, yeah that makes sense. States within the boundaries of the United States. How else would you say it? If you just say “states” it doesn’t necessarily clarify them to be American states but could be ones in other countries.
Ok, I’m getting some reports about potentially xenophobic comments and insults in this thread. I’d like to remind everyone to be nice and abide by the rules. I’m going to lock the thread now because I’m the only mod and I need to go to sleep. Have a good weekend everyone, and remember, it’s just a stupid post on the internet.
“murder”
Wow, people are still posting this ancient history. Imagine owning someone who’s probably in middle school. Glad I stayed off Twitter from the start.
Ah yes the United States States… my favourite country.
