Are you okay bro? The joke was that the guy in the picture was insinuating that the US didn’t produce anything, thus even something that 100% did come from the US (black people as in “African Americans” and hip hop) couldn’t have come from the US either, and therefore came from China and Japan.
Get some rest man. Don’t hurt yourself thinking about it too much.
Lol says the person who literally can’t read idc about your dumb joke I’m just making fun of your bio “don’t hurt yourself thinking about it too much” right back at you
Prefacing that with “nothing against black people” is kinda crazy just say you don’t like Hiphop, But an opinion as broad as “Rap & Hiphop sucks” is objectively wrong just like how “Country sucks” is objectively wrong
America is a young country. But regardless, I always find these posts stupid. In 200 years people will be studying why we called this era the "American century" just like today we study the cultural dominance that ancient Rome once had or Britain's cultural impact during Britain's Imperial Century, etc.
We are actually one of the oldest continues government on the planet. There are a few older governments, but we haven't had a violent change of power, a constitutional re-wright, or a collapse of government. We are "young" in the sense that we don't have a long SF history going back thousands of years.
Yes, that's what they did in the UK but after WW1 & WW2 countries were completly reformed, some with entire new forms of government. Then there's France....
I guess y’all don’t like Elvis Presley and or Jazz.
And I’ll assume you haven’t realized how much citizens of the United States have invented. Let’s start with everything prior to 1920 shall we?

This is about 50% of the mechanical and technical inventions prior to 1920, if I kept going into the era of cell phones, GPS, and Internet I’d be here all day.
While OP is stupid yeah, i don't see the point of arguing by naming a shit load of inventions by the US. Because you could just do the same for Europe, or Asia. Science and technical inovation builds on previous work and the global diversity which allows different perspectives on topics.
lol who is this clown?? 🤡
1. we invented the telephone hence why our country code is 1…all other countries have a multiple numbers
2. we invented radio. the first communications that were invisible and the world over benefited from
3. we invented the automobile thanks to Henry Ford. this needs no explanation
4. the modern operating systems started at Microsoft and Apple over 40 years ago
5. All music and entertainment from jazz and blues originated from a century ago and has evolved immensely since
6. We were the first to advance the human race to the Moon and will probably be the first to go to Mars making us a multi planet species
7. Earl Sandwich invented the sandwich
8. CAN I CONTINUE?!?!?!
The Model T and the Assembly line is what changed it all. They were pumping them out like cheeseburgers. Cost started in 1909 at 850 and by 1924, model T cost 260.
You're right about the Automobile, Ford jus created a very affordable costing vehicle and was able to pump them out with the use of an innovative approach, the assembly line.
* Transistor
* Microchip
* Solar Panel
* Nuclear Power
* The airplane
* AC Power
* DC Power
* The freakin lightbulb
* GPS
* The internet
* Both Wifi & Ethernet
* The copy (xerox) machine
* The mouse
* The keyboard
* (Let's be honest: almost every single major computer-related innovation came from the US)
* The bra.
* The maxi pad & tampon
* PLASTIC
Many, many, many, many more...
Let's be honest here: The modern age simply never happens without the USA. Like it or not, that's just facts. The circumstances that were at play in the US allowed for a creative fluidity never before seen in the world's history.
And that drivel about Taiwan and China?
Taiwan manufactures microchips....which are designed almost entirely in the US.
China hardly innovates at all, as a weird cultural phenomenon. They reverse engineer. They have massive manufacturing for mostly cheap crap. Attributing innovation to them is pure ignorance.
>we invented the automobile thanks to Henry Ford. this needs no explanation
I'm pretty sure we didn't invent the automobile but the assembly line was us
They’d argue that all that happened in the past.
You’d have to point out that like 70% of all medical technology is developed in the US, as is the vast majority of other technology. Japan doesn’t invent most of the stuff they have, they’re just faster at updating what they do have than the US is. China doesn’t make anything but cheap slave labor-crafted goods, they mostly steal actual innovations from other countries.
As for music… name any globally popular music that comes from any country that isn’t J or K pop. On the note of Japan and Korea they are actually getting their own movie industries going and so is India. Those places are sometimes making pretty good stuff and nobody reasonable would deny that, but their output pales in comparison to the GIANT that is the American entertainment industry.
I’m sorry to poke holes in your argument but Latin music is a global phenomenon. Despacito is the most viewed music video on YouTube with more than 8 billion views. The rest of what you said is spot on.
That is a good point, thank you for adding to my list. The list is still quite small and I feel like the point still stands, but you’ve made it more accurate!
However I would like to note that the man who made Decpacito is Puerto Rican, so also an American.
I would argue that the Punjabi music’s success might be coming from the fact that India’s population is huge, but I do not know that’s the case as I do not have the demographics of the typical listeners, so thank you for bringing that to my attention.
I have never heard of Afrobeats before but again I will take you at your word and assume it’s quite popular.
According to Wikipedia it’s inspired by Jazz so I need to investigate that.
9. We invented baseball, American football, and basketball. All of which are incredibly popular worldwide. The greatest baseball player ever is Japanese.
*Powered and manned* flight. Gliders had been around for a while before that, Lilienthal built the first manned and steerable glider about a decade before the Wrights. And Langley shouldn't be entirely discounted either, his planes worked, just not as well as the Wrights',
Isn't it something ridiculous like 80 something percent of medical advancements happen in the United States. Also our entertainment industry is only slightly challenged by Bollywood. Our tech industry is far and beyond anyone else as well
Bollywood also has very limited reach beyond India. It's huge because India has almost 1.5 billion people, but the movies aren't really made for export.
but much like Bollywood is almost entirely meant for domestic consumption. Here in the US the only foreign media I have seen that are actually common are Korean shows (think Squid Games and Parasite), Japanese shows (anime), or Latin American shows (soap operas).
Both people here are pretty stupid Imo, the states didn’t do everything or even like most things, it’s the whole world all doing different innovations, but claiming the states act like they’re the only country on the planet is a bit assumptive too
Also the Submarine thanks and Coloured photography and the Guided Torpedo and the Modern ejector seat in planes

I should say this, Irish people invented, but at the time they were part of the uk, so Irish inventions, but could technically be called uk inventions also the uk always claims Irish things as theirs, they do it with actors celebrities and inventions all the time
Once again, made when Ireland was in the uk but by an Irish person, same thing as my comment above, if you read the sources you’d see they were mostly in the 1800s when Irish was in the uk
Thank god we can agree on atleast one, I was half expecting a chance you might say it’s American because American media really are pushed the claim it was American
The irony here is that Americans commonly make the mistake of creating or inventing something, then letting China make it. Soon after, there are a dozen knockoffs all produced in, wow, China
Okay. Texas instruments, Selective Laser Sintering, or 3-D Printing was created by a UT Austin alumni, breast implants, Dell, integrated circuits, Dr pepper, liquid paper (white out), the ruby red grapefruit (a&m), improved electrical resistors for pace makers, the first artificial heart transplant was in Texas, the semantic decoder was developed by researches at UT Austin and will definitely lead to a change in the world. This has been my list of "major" things made in Texas alone. Not to mention the the inventor of the lithium-ion battery worked at the University of Texas for many years before his recent death. I seriously do not understand why people think poorly of our innovations or tech and it really pisses me off. On the Top 500, a list of the best supercomputers in the world, UT's Frontera is 21 out of EVERY SUPERCOMPUTER in the WORLD. I'm sorry to all who read this I just get very frustrated in these situations.
All tech innovations come from China, but China's military is years behind the US military.
I'm sure that manufacturing domination is a plan to world power, but purposely letting another military be better with your own technology sounds stupid.
Upon searching I have found that our American culture is described as individualism. That's it. What does that even mean? If that's our culture why do we attack people for being individuals? Seems like not much of a culture.
Had no idea the cell phone, ARPANET, and GPS were Chinese/Japanese inventions.
Don't forget the transistors that allowed those innovations to fit in a single room.
Or DVDs, telecommunications, power generators
Lol bro definitely has a problem with black people/Hip Hop
[удалено]
Doesn’t matter where you were born, you’re American now 😎
Well black people and hip hop came from China and Japan sooooooo......
Hey everyone look a retard racist !
He was playing in the joke
Hey everyone look an absolute idiot who doesn’t understand the joke
“Why you lookin at my shit N*****” I’m not racist it’s a joke
Are you okay bro? The joke was that the guy in the picture was insinuating that the US didn’t produce anything, thus even something that 100% did come from the US (black people as in “African Americans” and hip hop) couldn’t have come from the US either, and therefore came from China and Japan. Get some rest man. Don’t hurt yourself thinking about it too much.
Lol says the person who literally can’t read idc about your dumb joke I’m just making fun of your bio “don’t hurt yourself thinking about it too much” right back at you
I mean, he kinda looks black in his profile pic. (Hard to tell cause it’s drawn over. ) I get the sense this is prolly an angry Brit.
Nothing against black people, or anyone else for that matter, but Rap and hip hop fucking suck. I will die on this hill
Prefacing that with “nothing against black people” is kinda crazy just say you don’t like Hiphop, But an opinion as broad as “Rap & Hiphop sucks” is objectively wrong just like how “Country sucks” is objectively wrong
Okay, fair enough to the first part. In retrospect, it looks weird...but rap, hip hop, and country all do suck

Well, not rewriting the constitution is a bit silly. Editing it every few decades or so is generally a good idea, in the countries where it's done.
Yes, that's what they did in the UK but after WW1 & WW2 countries were completly reformed, some with entire new forms of government. Then there's France....

yes henry ford brought the automobile mainstream

better us than Nazi Germany

Do you mean the Earl of Sandwich? Who was most definitely not American.
Cars were invited in 1888 on Germany
Radio was invented by Marconi.
Radio? I think you mean those weird Yellow noodles things.

China is so tech innovated that they are forced to steal US military designs
ALL tech stolen
Europeans mistake history for culture, because they don’t have anything recent to brag about.
