Learn about America, straight from Americans.

here in mexico most people enjoy radiohead, they think it's cool. but i'm not sure in america, since i know they are a british band and therefore would be pretty disliked there perhaps!! what is the general opinion of americans?? about radiohead?? thank you

i'm asking this because i am 5'7 and all my life i thought i was 5'10 but i realized i'm not and honestly i feel kind of bad about it!! i would definitely feel way too short in the u.s, and will people look at me weird?? like, will they think i'm a teenager or something?? that sure would be weird but, well i have to be ok with my height. i'm just curious about that!! thanks!!

i met my boyfriend 7 months ago online and he's american and well i really love him, i'm from another country and while i do want to marry him someday i know i have to see him irl first for a few years, so, if i ever marry him (an american) in my country, what happens?? i know i do not get a green card instantly but, like, our marriage gets registered in my country, does it get registered in the u.s too?? i am just curious, thanks!!

i am a person that was born and well still lives in mexico and learned english at a very young age,and well i am a very huge fan of america and american culture!!! i'm glad a lot of american stores and places and even food are here,thanks for that. but anyway, one time when i was browsing through the internet i found some videos of people that were saying that there were like mexican villages in the united states and there was also a lot of mexican food there?? why is that??? i thought mexican food was only found here, like, beans, and tacos, i heard about taco bell but i believe that's just a new thing. thanks!!!

How come Americans use penguins or school buses for measuring length and distance but still use kilowatt for power and not let’s say thrown stone per mile?

An oldie but a goodie.

This utterly corrupt demagogue was blatantly bribed by the big banks to funnel a huge chunk of the incomes of all able bodied, educated people in the United States into the already absurdly rich banking industry.

It makes me so angry when someone asserts that Joe Biden is a "decent man". No. He really isn't. He's a corrupt, greedy sociopath with slightly different marketing than his spiritural brother, Donald Trump.

The sooner we can all realize that it's the VOTING SYSTEM in the US that needs to be completely reformed from scratch, the sooner we can stop defending these types of grifters.

This German newspaper article (translated by Deepl) claims that Democrats will defend Johnson against attempts by the right of his party to unseat him as speaker. I don't know the ins and outs of US politics, therefore I ask: What do you think?

So if they ask people to cut back on electricity use, can you cut back AC to just a few rooms to chill in? Or are you stuck with the whole house?

Here are some equivalents im already aware of:

Canada Dominion Lands Act = US Homestead Act

Canada Dominion Land Survey = US Public Land Survey System

Ontario County Roads = American Local County Highways

Bloc Settlement = Ethnic Group Settlement (USA)

1981 Alberta Rural Road Addressing System = ???????????

Do any american states have some kind of rural postal addressing system for very rural farmland area? similar to the alberta thing?

Like in Canada in the winter when it's cold, you basically just hustle from one heated building to the next.
