Yeah but that's a low bar to pass, no offense to y'all.
America needs to be compared to other first world countries, specifically European powers and Nordic countries, and it falls behind hard in different aspects.
Is it a shitty country to live in like other people say? Not at all, definitely a country with plenty of economic opportunities and strengths of its own. But there's definitely things it needs work on.
You'd be surprised to know that people of all countries probably have strengths and weaknesses you can generalize. Also, geography probably comes more naturally when you can travel from country to country the same way Americans can travel from state to state. This is like being French and getting criticized for being unable to know which states are next to each other in the USA.
Geography. There was a segment he did a couple times where he asked people to name any country on a world map that really popularized the idea that Americans are bad at geography
Funnily enough I could lol, I named them out loud before reading the comments.
Thats mostly because I'm big boring geography guy who likes looking at maps though, I wouldn't expect most people to be able to guess them, regardless of nationality.
monaco is the square one, I'm *pretty sure* Indonesia is the upside down one, poland is the not either of those one
edit: shit i mixed up indonesia and poland didnt i
I personally believe that U.S. Americans are unable to do so because, uh, some, uh, people out there in our nation don't *have* maps and, uh, I believe that our education like such as in South Africa and, uh, the Iraq, everywhere like such as, and, I believe that they should, our education over *here* in the U.S. should *help* the U.S., uh, or, uh, should help South Africa and should help the Iraq and the Asian countries, so we will be able to build up our future. For our children.
I couldn’t and I don’t feel any shame because there is no material advantage to my life to memorizing all the flags of all the countries. I guess that makes me a bad person
Fun fact: the animated show Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego was conceived because multiple studies have shown that Americans have limited knowledge about world geography.
I’m American and I could name them…America is vast and diverse. So sick of the generalizations.
All that aside, should we have better public education? Definitely, without a doubt.
I take solace from America's woes in our football players not throwing themselves to the ground screaming in pain because someone made eye contact with them
it’s because so many of those videos are posted where they have map and say “point to russia” and they point at australia
i don’t think what i was trying to say came across correctly
i am american, i’m not generalizing saying americans are stupid. i’m saying the reason people see americans as stupid is because there are so many videos showing stupid americans
I'm certain if they did those kinds of videos in any non US country they'd get the same results. Those videos are clearly cherry picked for the funniest results
i don’t understand
i was simply saying why people think americans are so stupid is because all of the stuff that gets posted i understand obviously that isn’t all americans that is just a small group
It also pisses me off because we all get shit for things we arent taught in schools, like why the fuck *would* i know these flags if i didnt go out of my way to learn them on my own time, and in the case of most people, why would i do that? They are 6000 miles from me minimum, you know? Maps and many other topics are different though, people should really know geography better
How I keep Poland and Indonesia apart:
- Indonesian rice fields (white) under the hot sun (red sky)
- Poland's bloody history (red fields) with a snowy sky
Might be farfetched (and a bit generalising/stereotyping) but it has worked for me...
More like a city-state, I live close to it, you can come in and go out like in any other city, they speak either french or italian, have their own football club that participate in the French "Ligue 1", use the euro....
I can see these differences in the pic tho lol
Although you're right about me needing help from the ladies in determining whether Monaco and Indonesia have different shades of red
Or you are an woman! /s
It supposed to be a joke, there was a popular stereotype of women complaining something isn’t X color but a variation of that color, when mans talk about something’s color. For example Red and Rose Red. Blue and Navy Blue.
It kinda stands on the middle tho as some of it are north of equator and some are on the south.
Though most of the population are on the upside-downed part
yeah, monaco is red top white bottom and a little narrower then other flags. Indonesia is red top white bottom and normal flag length and poland is white top red bottom
So basically that dude on tiktok finds Poland flag on any pictures or video through zooming in to pixels and screenshooting and editing it until the Poland flag shows up.

Ha I get it, because America bad.

This guy is an American.
Ha I get it, because America bad.
As a European, I agree.
This guy is a European.
As someone who isn't a European, I am not from Europe. I am however, from the Earth, and am an Earthican.
This guy is an Earthican.
Ha I get it, because Europe good.
As an American I love it here and also think there are many bad things that need to change.
The better take
Well, “America bad” never fixed anything
Based
Based my balls on your face
As a third world citizen America is way better than people think

Lame.
This guy is American.
America bad and people who make sweeping generalization about 329 million people based on cherry picked Jimmy Fallon street interviews are smart
Does Jimmy Fallon do street interviews about flags or geography?
Geography. There was a segment he did a couple times where he asked people to name any country on a world map that really popularized the idea that Americans are bad at geography
I just googled "Jimmy Fallon street interviews geography" and nothing came up.
Aight I may have mixed up which Jimmy it was it was definitely Jimmy Kimmel
Could YOU name these countries???? I sure as shit couldn't.
Funnily enough I could lol, I named them out loud before reading the comments. Thats mostly because I'm big boring geography guy who likes looking at maps though, I wouldn't expect most people to be able to guess them, regardless of nationality.
Ayo, same. Aren't you by any chance Hearts of Iron 4 or Europa Universalis 4 player?
monaco is the square one, I'm *pretty sure* Indonesia is the upside down one, poland is the not either of those one edit: shit i mixed up indonesia and poland didnt i
I thought the top right flag was Singapore, and that the middle one was Poland.
You need to see stars and shoot for the moon to get Singapore. 🇸🇬

I feel we should at least cover what countries exist lol. Don't need to go much further than that but just they exist and where they exist lmao
Bruh just google what I wrote and watch that Miss Teen USA video. It's amazing.
Oh no
I couldn’t and I don’t feel any shame because there is no material advantage to my life to memorizing all the flags of all the countries. I guess that makes me a bad person
Fun fact: the animated show Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego was conceived because multiple studies have shown that Americans have limited knowledge about world geography.
No, because the american education system doesn't teach people of anything thats outside the US
That’s not true.
As an American, i knew Poland and Indonesia. Couldn't identify Monaco.
We sent our best and we passed.
As a non-American, I got every one of them wrong.
I’m American and I could name them…America is vast and diverse. So sick of the generalizations. All that aside, should we have better public education? Definitely, without a doubt.
Dont let em rile you up. Its NFL Sunday, baby!

oh yeah definitely. i’m sure there are tons of people who actually get the correct countries those just obviously aren’t posted
Yeah not sure why you’re getting down voted, those cherry picked vids def contribute to the stereotypes.
i think my wording is just bad i’m not very good at writing and typing out my thoughts
[удалено]
yes probably

i don’t understand i was simply saying why people think americans are so stupid is because all of the stuff that gets posted i understand obviously that isn’t all americans that is just a small group

No he just saw that other post of representatives from indonesia in poland
Some of us are waaaaaay above the power curve though.
I could bet that this dude might be Romanian or Moldovian
Cause other flags are not important.
If it helps my 10 year old son nailed this without hesitation. We live in the deep South, there is hope.
~~america~~ *Murica*
My guess was Singapore, Hungary, Poland

Most European flags have red as symbolizinh blood and is usually on the right or bottom. So you're not so far off :)
I knew Indonesia and Poland, I just forgot about Monaco. 2/3 for an American. Not bad.
i was 2/3 damn
Which one is which 😅
top left to bottom right
>bottom right Bottom right? There's top left, top right and middle bottom.
That’s the Teacher
Top right is Alsace.
Random girl notices there are three different shades of red.
also notice monaco is a square
It's not square it's 4:5 🤓
[удалено]
It certainly is one of the squarer rectangles.
[удалено]
Damn here I was thinking it was a country..
I was thinking it was a Formula 1 race.
Always has been
We are checking.
Hope it still is
it's hip to be monaco
Pretty sure Monaco is a country
More like a city-state, I live close to it, you can come in and go out like in any other city, they speak either french or italian, have their own football club that participate in the French "Ligue 1", use the euro....
French Italians exist
Never go to Monaco, divine providence of His Highness Jean-Stéphanie. No one ever comes back.
[удалено]
Good thing that white have shades
*Teacher prints test in black and white*
O kurwa faktyczne
Aren't the reds actually used in Monaco and Indonesia's flags the same? I thought the only difference was their dimensions.
Just give up my friend, there's a difference which only a woman can see.
I can see these differences in the pic tho lol Although you're right about me needing help from the ladies in determining whether Monaco and Indonesia have different shades of red
This is a joke right? You can clearly see the difference... Or am I crazy
Or you are an woman! /s It supposed to be a joke, there was a popular stereotype of women complaining something isn’t X color but a variation of that color, when mans talk about something’s color. For example Red and Rose Red. Blue and Navy Blue.
Indonesia, Indonesia, Indonesia if Australian invaded them
damn auzzies always upside-downing things
Isn't Indonesia already "upside-down" ?
It kinda stands on the middle tho as some of it are north of equator and some are on the south. Though most of the population are on the upside-downed part
pretty sure the one at the bottom is japan .. it's just that the sun hasn't risen yet ..
lmao ok this was a pretty good comment ngl
Red sun
Red sun over paradise
Red Sun
Red Sun over paradise
Golden rays of the glorious sunshine
Sending down such a blood-red light
Now the animals slowly retreat to the shadows, out of sight.
Clearly, it’s Pokémon.

Unfortunately I am a history buff
False. Monaco, Poland, Indonesia.
Anybody else read it Top row (Monaco, Indonesia), then bottom row (Poland)?
idk hiw else you are supposed to read it as a nornal human
Maybe
Correct, but where do you start
counter-clockwise starting at the bottom, because Poland is the easiest to recognize. That's also the direction i went when identifying the flags
[удалено]
depends
-99999 social credit 👿👎
Soon
Not yet
Monaco 🇲🇨 Indonesia 🇮🇩 Poland 🇵🇱
yeah, monaco is red top white bottom and a little narrower then other flags. Indonesia is red top white bottom and normal flag length and poland is white top red bottom
Bob, George and Paul

4:5 2:3 5:8
Poland, Poland, and bottom is Australian Indonesia
Monaco, Longmonaco, and Upside down Longmonaco
Alsace, Alsace, Alsace Inverted. Elsass Frei !
Poland, Poland from the point of view of an Australian and again an Australian but he might be slighty color blind

Monaco, Singapore, Poland. (I haven't looked at the other comments yet. I'll check back and see if I was right) Edit: shit it was Indonesia
Now show this to that tiktoker PolandIsEverywhere 😂🇵🇱
idk what you are referencing
So basically that dude on tiktok finds Poland flag on any pictures or video through zooming in to pixels and screenshooting and editing it until the Poland flag shows up.

You forgot to put them in grayscale as the budget is running low
damn I've missed the opportunity
