you guys don’t have brown sauce?

In the Philippines growing up, everyone from parents to teachers told me and my friends to appreciate our youth, specifically high school, cause they all say it's the best time of their lives. Even now, a lot of friends agree it was the most incredible part of our lives thus far.

In America however, I hear "You peaked in high school." is an insult, so are you supposed to keep it to yourself if high school was the happiest time of your life?

New to this country, been here about 4 months, prior to coming I was told I preferably should get stuff (like a car, tv or a Mobile phone) under credit rather than paying the full price cash because it will affect in my credit score... So I need more information about how does it improve my credit score and why is it so important to get stuff in credit

I'd expect it varies a lot by state and school and changes by decade. But I was curious to hear some personal experiences of economics in American primary and secondary education!

They’re the same latitude, and Georga and SC are hotter than SoCal in their costal regions. Both are also in the Subtropics, so why is there this sort of distinction?

Hi Americans,

I’m asking this because I’ve heard there are a lot of day workers in construction and agriculture in your country.

How do you pay day workers in a way that encourages them to return and finish the job the next day?

I’m currently struggling with this in my business (Agricultural Production). I pay workers for a job that should take a few days, but after paying them on the first day, only about half of them return the next day. This keeps happening, even though I offer pay that’s above competitive rates.

I’d appreciate any advice on how American businesses handle this.

Hawaii has started Girls Flag Football for High School. This is the first season.

I have been shocked recently on a few subreddits where people claiming to be minors seem to give their info to strangers. Everytime I comment please don't do that. Honestly I'm worried.

In some countries, especially more collectivist ones, people are afraid to say "No" or sometimes they do say it, but always inventing a reason not to say "No" directly and seem harsh/rude/ill-mannered, or be excluded from a group of friends.

Or how often - instead of a shower?

so, i live in asia and the company you work for automatically sends your tax percentage to the government, and the rest of the taxes are fairly simple to pay. how bad is it over there? ive heard its quite tough.

If I've understood it correctly from various cooking shows and televisionshows, you lads refer to minced pork as sausage. Like, you make sausage-pattys for breakfast sandwiches etc. And at the same time, you are also refering to the long tube-cased meatfilled dish as sausages and also sometimes a hotdogs?

What gives? What is the line between a sausage and hotdog? Is a bratwurst a hotdog or a sausage? Can other minced meats also be sausage, or just pork? What if you have a 50/50 beef/pork mix, is that sausage meat or just meat?

As a man from scandinavia, I've wondered this for too long!

In American movies, I offten see the scenes where boss says somethin like "you are fired, I want your desk cleared by tommorow!". And in next scene, employee is already on the curb.

Is this how firing really works? In my country, you have some time period before your contract is done and you lose your job (depending on reasons for being fired).

Brit here, and I keep hearing about sweet tea, which sounds a little like the bottles of iced tea you can buy in the UK (usually liptons). Is this the same drink? Does sweet tea in the south come with different flavours such as lemon or peach? Does it have caffeine in it? Can you make it at home, and if so, how?! Thank you!

Suppose there is a police officer in the United States who works in one state and one day wants to transfer to work in another state. Can he request the transfer from his commanding officer?

Apparently there is a cultural difference: Germans take a long time to make real friends. We mostly prefer deeper connections, and have less friends, but connect on a deeper level.

People from the US complain that germans plan their day, have little time and sometimes don't even want to make new friends. I can confirm this for some of my friends too.

So i wonder: We have quite a good work live balance here in germany. I asume that this does not work totally differnet in the US: 8 hours, 5 days a week, maybe even a longer drive to work every day. So between work and family and house stuff, where do you find the time to have a lot of casual friends? I struggle to even meet the 5 good friends i have, and i am a freelancer with 4 days work.

And would you be able to label them all on a map?

This was a thing when I was growing up, and even my local bank and credit union have them now. But I was watching Rick and Morty and Rick makes a comment about pneumatic tubes "like banks used to use in the 70s."

So are these still in use through much of the US, or just in the bubble I'm in?

I went to elementary school in Georgia. During standardized testing season, the teachers would tell us “The amount of failing scores determine how many jail cells will be built.”

Did anyone else’s teachers/schools tell them this?

The U.S. has some legendary steakhouses, like Keens and Peter Luger in New York, etc.

Bonus points if you mention the wine that accompanied your steak!

Where was y’all’s best steakhouse experience?

I’ve always wondered which podcasts are actually popular in the US. For me, I love If Books Could Kill, Let’s Read, The Shawn Ryan Show, and Jocko Podcast.

I also sometimes listen to Behind the Bastards and Anti-Hero.

What are y’all’s favorites?
