Why do some Americans talk on the web like they are the default country?

Because we are kinda like our own world and we forget that their are other places in the world, until we wanna go on a vacation 🙃🤭 🤷‍♀️

Ikr!

Its so weird how some have so little concept of the rest of the world.

And why do they all assume that everyone else is from USA also. If I had a Euro for everytime some assumed I was American, I'd have at least €1k🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

'cause there's a ton of ussssssss

This American has been saying this for decades! 🤷‍♂️

Arrogance abounds! Unfortunately the internet is a US invention. And why there are so many Americans even on this site despite the internet being around for even more decades than me on it.

Look up the history of ARPANET

[quote]The Advanced Research Projects Agency Network was the first wide-area packet-switching network with distributed control and one of the first networks to implement the TCP/IP protocol suite. Both technologies became the technical foundation of the Internet. The ARPANET was established by the Advanced Research Projects Agency of the United States Department of Defense. [/quote]

Get more people from different countries on it!

Please! 🤷‍♂️

they are loudmouth nuts with bloated heads like a coconut,, hollow inside .It is this group of people who boast ..

I think Americans are taught/told that America first is part of the mindset from a young age.

Thus, in many Americans minds, the rest of the world follows America rather than seeing that other realities exist in other countries at the same time as their own.

Never has this been so true as in the current covid era.

The misinformation and lack of general information that the rest of us get from multiple sources is really eye-opening when you get into discussion with some of them on the subject.

Rampant xenophobia, probably

I think it's funny it's a big world out there and they don't even realize the rest of the world laughs at them

Being wealthiest and strongest ... earns a few things .... ego is one

It is weird.
