From Redditor u/80_firebird:
That we all have cars because we're too lazy to walk/bike or too dumb to take the bus.
First off, there isn't a bus in my town.
Secondly, there may be two months when the weather is nice enough to walk/bike. The rest of the time it's either way too hot or way too cold to do that.

Americans Have No Culture
From a former Redditor:
The one that gets me the most is “Americans have no culture”, mostly because it’s just so far removed from reality that it’s practically a non-sequitur.
Like, sure, the country that exports its movies and music and other products successfully all over the world and has been doing so for decades just doesn’t have a culture. Right.
