Non-Americans of KS, what confuses or do you have a question about concerning America? (1 Viewer)

[Mayday]

Scientifically speaking, my state of Kansas is flatter than a pancake. Seriously. So, there's that :nosejoo:

Ayy, I found something that Kansas and I have in common!

 

[Mayday]

So I got another question. Who is your "national" comedian, actor etc? Like is there one person that's considered above every other in the field and is a legend?

For music, probably Beyonce.
Comedian would most likely be Ellen, but there are many others.

Y'all don't actually eat this, do you?

I'm afraid Luther Burger is indeed a thing.

No. Just about no one eats that.

Honestly, I understand that America is considered a "fat" country, but eating something like that is just considered gross.

Even eating at McDonald's is looked down on if people do it often.

What about adding nothing but the actual price is what is written on the product?

It's terrible. Speaking of which, our taxes were due on April 15th.

Well not crazy but me and my fam were in a real bad storm (buying stuff before the storm got even worse) and then all the lights just went out (inside that store)
Scariest thing that has ever happened to me

Kansas City is on the border of Kansas and Missouri.
Technically two different cities

But

It's terrible. Speaking of which, our taxes were due on April 15th.

What does it mean "taxes are due"?

But


What does it mean "taxes are due"?

Oof well ‘taxes’ are what us citizens owe to the state they live and they have a certain window of time where they can pay them
This year it was April 15th when they were due I believe
Hopes this helps

How big is the difference between rural areas around New York and in the middle of USA? I've heard that it's like night and day the more you get in mid west etc

I'm from rural Kansas.

Rural areas around New York are much more densely populated and the landscape is totally different with lots of trees and hills, etc.



Kansas on the other hand. Is flat, empty and sparsely populated. You can see for miles in any direction as there are few trees.

The biggest difference for me is the sense of being isolated.

When I'm in "rural" areas on the East I never actually feel like I'm far away from anything.

In Kansas and other rural areas like it.

There's literally nothing but grassland for hundreds of miles. There's more of a feeling of remoteness. You feel more alone.

I actually prefer that haha... It's strangely comforting for me. I guess because I grew up with it.

It looks like this.

I think that is Whoopi Goldberg.
She has an EGOT
And everyone knows her.​

Damn I could never live like that. I'm so used to being in a city and living in an apartment block that what you're showing me seems like a nightmare to me XD

Is it true that people would randomly smile at you on the street?

tbh yeah it is but its only for a second, its just a nice way of acknowledging someone else's existence. even if your only going to see them for a few minutes, its just a way of trying to be nice.
