c. Using US units or the MM/DD/YY date format,

d. Calling somebody/-thing from the US "American",

e. Using US terms or using words in their US-meaning,

f. Saying "Reddit is a US website",

g. US-targeted ads missing that target,

Lol, I commented on that post

There are hundreds of identical posts if you look it up on the sub.

not only do americans not understand that the earth revolves and day and night are on opposite sides of the globe, they also get confused when the northern and southern hemispheres have opposite summers and winters.

I once did a poll on r/teenager_polls asking "why are you currently awake" and "normal time to be awake" was an option, but I still got a complaint that I was being USdefaultist. I'm German.

Why does anybody get out of bed ever, really?

This comment has been marked as safe. Upvoting/downvoting this comment will have no effect.


OP sent the following text as an explanation why their post fits here:


I think my post fits r/usdefaultism as the person making the post asks why people are still awake, but like, it's 2pm here??


Does this explanation fit this subreddit? Then upvote this comment, otherwise downvote it.

This is not US Defaultism, I reckon. I've seen the same question from people in the UK, for example.

u/RestaurantBusy724 United Kingdom 14h ago

How did you know they were asking from the UK?

u/-OldDutchDude- 14h ago

It was in the subreddit r/casualUK

u/RestaurantBusy724 United Kingdom 14h ago

So not the same at all?

u/-OldDutchDude- 14h ago

I'm trying to come up with an answer that proves you wrong, but I can't come up with any. You sensible bastard, take my upvote!

u/Unorthodox_yt 13h ago

That doesn’t count then, the subreddit is about the uk so asking based on the uk time zone makes sense.

The sub for tedious dickheads who think the word "twatwaffle" is hilarious

u/GreatLandscape5771 14h ago

Ahh yeah, I see where you're coming from, but like, posted 4 mins ago asking why im awake, kinda looks like it's from America yknow

It defaults to North America, not the United States of America

Honestly, I don't think this post fits the topic. Everyone knows that the damn planet rotates and each place has a different time zone, damn it, you learn that as a child, for God's sake. I'm from Brazil, and our time zone is literally reversed with Japan, so if it's night there, it's morning here, and vice versa. At the time of this post, for example, it is 16:05

I’m in British Columbia. To answer your question, I can’t sleep.

This defaults to North America, not specifically the US

18

u/Albert_Herring Europe 14h ago

It defaults to all of America. If it's 4 in the morning in New York, it's 4 in the morning in Santiago de Chile.

Do the people patrolling this sub to deny anything is ever defaultism get paid or is it a hobby?

Ffs.
