Hey Pandas, What Things Are Only Understood In Your Country? (Closed)

Everything the USA does.

The electoral system where the candidate who got the most votes isn't elected.

The American voting system. I´m American and even I don´t understand it.

In South Africa, there exists the concept of "Load Shedding" where the government switches off your electricity for you, on a daily basis, to alleviate the strain for the service provider... We have tjop & dop (Barbeque & Beer)...Biltong is a delicacy...and more...

In America? The size of cars, walking around the house with our shoes on, country pride...

One of the biggest things is that yes we have some of the most deadliest creatures in Australia, the fact of the matter is being killed by one is not common. The most injuries and deaths are caused by horses and farm animals and then bees and wasps. So no need to be afraid of our amazing country, we have so much to offer.

Another thing is we Aussies like to abbreviate anything we can lol. Some examples are: Arvo - afternoon, Cuppa - cup of tea or coffee, choccy bikkie - chocolate biscuit, Servo - petrol station, Petty - petrol, Bottle-o - bottle shop (liquor store), Maccas - McDonalds, Kafers - KFC, AC/DC - AccaDacca, footy - football, Coppa - police officer, Ambo - ambulance, Firey - Firefighter, Tradie - tradesman, Postie - postman, garbo - garbage collector, Chrissie Prezzie - Christmas present. Just to name a few.

And lastly we also know how to eat vegemite properly. When trying it for the first time do NOT spread it like you would spread peanut butter. And definitely do NOT eat it off a spoon. Toast some bread to your liking, add some butter and do a very thin scraping of vegemite. Check google for picture instructions. No wonder why so many people hate vegemite, they put too much on.

Eating potatosalad and sausages on christmas eve, no speed limit on highways, consuming lots of carbs (Potato, beer, breads), Oktoberfest (in September btw.)

In Lithuania, we eat beetroot salty instead of sweet (it's used in traditional soups, etc.)

hmm eating sea food for christmas i guess

I heard the rest of the world doesn't have peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Is that true?

NOT ALL AMERICANS ARE BAD. I know that a lot are, and that those are the ones that everyone sees, but a lot of us are actaully decent people. Fight me

Apparently, garbage disposals
