People generally don't seem to be very intelligent or knowledgeable about things.
How would you compare this to people in Europe? I get the feeling this is the case in Americans when you're comparing to Europeans, but I have obviously talked to not enough Europeans to really get a good idea of what Europeans are like.
Though most of the Europeans I talk to, I get along great with (in comparison to Americans), and we have a lot more in common I think.
Well, we do have our fair share of morons here too, lol. Plenty of stupid and close-minded people to be found all over the world. What I mean is that people in the US generally seem to be less educated and just not as knowledgeable about things that aren't part of their own little world. This shows in a lot of things, ranging from general conversations to politics and your everyday culture. Politics and policy are incredibly populist in the US, which is something that you're hardly going to find over here. Take that thread in Serious about Hilary Clinton, for example. I commented the same thing there. It is almost disgusting how appeals to emotion seem to be a cornerstone of politics there. In her speech, she resorted to things like "it is clear that violent video games are out there to steal the innocence of our precious children", and ended it by having some guy, introduced as a parent of twins, come up the stage to appeal to parents in the audience. And this is a part of all politics. "Oh, you're running for president? Instead of actually making people vote for you because of your platform and beliefs, release a 2 minute ad of a black guy talking about how you heroically saved his wife's life when she was giving birth ten years ago because that's more likely to sway people in our culture". You would never find something like that over here. But I'm mainly just talking about day to day things and conversations. I had people warn me beforehand and shrugged it off because I thought their warnings were too ridiculous to be true. A few months later, I already had to explain to two hairdressers that Belgium was not just out of state, but on another continent as well. On the 4th of July, I had to answer several people that, yes, I knew what fireworks were, that I had actually seen them before and that they weren't just an American thing. I blew someone's mind by informing them that I was familiar with the concept of "holidays" and that they do exist outside of the US ("no, we don't work every single day of the year. We have weekends and holidays just the same."). Another person was pretty baffled when I told them I met my American girlfriend online, as she apparently never really realized we "have those kind of things" (= internet/computers) on the other side of the Atlantic. Now don't expect to come over to Europe and find only geniuses. Plenty of morons here too. But just speaking from my own experience, it does seem that people in the US are generally less educated and knowledgeable about things. Americans are generally amazed when they find out I speak Latin, while it's very common over here. Same thing with the amount of languages I speak, while virtually everyone here speaks at least 3. People here seem more interested in politics and news, what happens abroad included, which is also provided by (generally) less biased news sources. People seem to travel a lot more here too. Obviously, the US as a country is larger than any European one, but I've met people who just wouldn't leave their own state. I've received "why would I even want to?" as an actual response to my question of "are you ever interested in traveling abroad?" You be sure to let me know if this is just my own experience when you get to talk to people in Germany.

People are generally a lot fatter.
People are generally nice, but often in a very superficial / seemingly fake kind of way.
Drinking age is 21, for some reason.
Food is pretty good, but immensely fatty and filled with all kinds of preservatives.
Portions are massive and free refills on soda, which is nice.
A lot of strange accents.
Tipping is a thing there. Stupid, but whatever.
People generally don't seem to be very intelligent or knowledgeable about things.
They don't give mayo with stuff by default.
The stereotypical things you see in movies are actually true (cliques, school busses, spelling contests...)
A few shows aside, TV is generally awful.
Americans are really loud.
Commercials everywhere, even for prescription drugs.
They use fahrenheit and the imperial system, which is somewhat strange.
Political issues that we are long done with are hot topics over there, so don't be surprised to see a lot of things about guns, abortion, euthanasia, gay marriage and so for the. And it's always painfully biased and populist too.
Religion still matters and plays a large role.
All that aside though, it's still not a bad place to be. I enjoyed all of my stays there. You'll find that the culture is similar, but still very different in a lot of ways.

Good golly I can't believe people watch this.
Well, what kind of party? Pinkie Pie's birthday?
Gotta be specific when it comes to ponies mang.

somebody actually killed the beginning boss with that weapon, and pretty quick too. It was a livestream some years ago.
It takes about 20 minutes, there's a lot of videos of people doing that kind of stuff. The sword hilt deals as much damage as your bare fists at that level, so it takes quite a few hits to bring down the boss. It really isn't that hard though, if you stay behind his left leg, Asylum can't hit you with any of his attacks other than the jumping one. It's just boring to do that for 20 minutes, lol.

Nigga you don't even have sweeping deserts full of canyons and mountains.
Not that I was talking about Europe specifically, but bro. deserts (and this is just in Spain, not even including Italy and such) Also, if you want deserts and canyons, go to Africa.

A few gems in a ton of shit. And even then most of the gems really aren't my type of games, so I generally don't care for Indie games.

and the format's unlimited, right? you could use day 1 cards if you wanted to
You mean the first yu-gi-oh cards? Yeah, but I highly wouldn't recommend using them against new cards

Not at all. Anime is a perfectly acceptable interest of any sane man and deserves no condemnation or contempt.

I hope these last few hours have given you an appreciation for the longstanding weeb members.
Now you see what real weebs are.
They run around screaming at the top of their lungs, climbing the furniture and knocking over valuables, smearing shit along the walls and when the day is over and they're tired, they still expect to be fed.
And they haven't even started the anime talk yet.
I am terrified of signing back on tomorrow.

Two bombs man. Two bombs. And that's all I've got to say about that.
