    I can’t think of a situation where I would ever say “I really wish there was [someone from ANY country specifically] here right now” except if I had a question about that country.

      I could think of maybe 50 where I would wish there was an Australian. Mostly related to crocodile hunting.

      Edit: also, a lot of countries are bi-lingual where English is the second language. So they will always make my list.

        I’ve lived in Canada all my life. Doesn’t mean I know the first thing about making maple syrup. I’ll wager 99.9% of the people in Australia have no idea about hunting crocs.

      A lot of Americans are fat so they would make good cover until the foxhole is dug.

    Needing to track a wild animal, picking medicinal plants, sending a smoke signal, building a wikiup, etc. the possibilities are numerous; although not sure all of these ancestral skills survived very well to this day.

      Would that imaginary hole-shaped american come up and anxiously go “that’s my hole ! it was made for me !” ?

    This question has me bside myself. I haven’t lived there in more than a decade, though, so not sure if I count anymore. I was trying a joke and realized that I am, at least technically, American and had to stop, heh.

    Trying to figure out if the mesquite smoked brisket served anywhere that isn’t Texas is worth it?

    Urgently needing to get rid of a purloined crate of Ozempic while the po-po is beating down the door and some dickhead clogged up the toilet?

    Dunno really.

          Did I read this wrong? This kinda implies you view Americans as like 2nd worst

          Exept chinese tourists

          This is implying you view them as bottom of your “tier list”

              This is one of those opportunities where you can either learn from the information given to you or deny it and purposely remain ignorant.

              Go back to your original statement and replace “Americans” and “Chinese” with “Blacks” and “Jews” and tell me how that reads.
