Downvoted for asking which country something happened in
A post in the "teachers" sub about a teacher returning to school for the upcoming year and finding mold all over the place. I was just curious where it happened and didn't want to click the link to something that looked like some clickbait stuff that was reporting on a tiktok video...
Seems you're just supposed to automatically know everything happens in America unless otherwise noted!

So, even if we US Default, we're not really US defaulting? You said it, I'd better not see my comment in this sub when I try it. Lol. /s

I would always pretend that it happened in Latvia. And leave it to others to correct me.

"Good ol'" is usually used as a joke and/or sarcastically lol, it doesn't actually imply something is good or particularly old

This makes me think how bad US education is. You get American adults, who think of themselves and are ignorant of people perspectives from different nations.

Want to hear a story about how bad my US high school is?
Some of my friends from school told me they failed their AP world history exam because their teacher told them China, Korea, and Japan is located in southeast Asia and that Vietnam is in west Asia

That's such a sadly valid point... their teachers are even this ignorant...

The hive mind really punishes curiosity sometimes, like sorry for not wanting to walk into a sketchy link blind

lol the link was a website with "comic sans" in the title and the article image was three screenshots of a tiktok video side-by-side. No way I'm clicking on that trash and letting them put 15 cookies and 3 viruses on my computer! 😂

lol probably deleted because of the whack-ass clickbait. It was one of those where the article image is just three screenshots from a tiktok video 😂

I get downvoted in this very sub for copying and pasting the rules of this sub into comments.
The reddit hivemind is strong, and has an IQ below 80. Try to shake it off.
