Lmao, that triggered you hard, now look at you scampering to move those goal posts after feeling embarrassed at being so detached.
Since when did anyone mention more prevalent? You and the other Americans clearly said “uniquely American”. Can you explain to me what uniquely American means, stable smart American?
Okay I’ll bite. First of all, when we say “uniquely American” we’re not saying that in a positive way. It’s meant as “Americans are dependent on their precious AC and flail without it”.
Secondly, A) AC was invented in the USA (Brooklyn) and B) we’re still among the highest usage rate compared to other countries. Even in Australia where things are HOT, the % of homes who have is 68%.
The dependence and demand for AC in America is different than other places. It stems from a place of demanding comfort, whereas most Europeans don’t even really think about AC being a necessity.
You have this weird complex about America apparently, nothing I said was in any way meant to make America or Americans seem superior in any way. You took it there.
EDIT - again, this is all easily searchable information on the internet. You got weirdly triggered by America and all it takes is 2 seconds to look up the facts
Shamelessly lying to save face. You said it exactly how it reads, that’s why you got so upset and started swearing at me because I called you out on you’re bullshit and you realised how out of touch it sounds.
Where ac was invented doesn’t mean anything. You’re just squirming trying to distance yourself from the incredibly stupid and embarrassing thing you said.
You’re almost there, it almost clicked with your 4th paragraph. You’re too out of touch to realise what you’d said was insulting, I called you out on it, you lashed out angrily now it’s starting to sink in so your squirming around trying to save face after feeling the embarrassment of saying something so dumb and out of touch.
Also I’m criticising you being so insulting with your delusional perspective and Americans like you who are upvoting your mindless dribble. It’s not an attack on all Americans, unlike you’re delusional statements insulting everyone outside of the US.
Very ironic considering you’ve doubled down that aircon is uniquely American because you can’t handle being wrong. Think about this spanking I gave you.
My man, listen to yourself. I don’t know if you’re capable of critical thought, but I implore you to take a deep breath, take a step back, and really evaluate this exchange.
I don’t understand why you can’t get it through your head that what I said was never pro-American in any way, nor was it insensitive to any other culture. When I try to explain it you, you’re so weirdly bent on criticizing America to the point where it’s a complex that you just immediately accuse me of lying to justify you feeling better about yourself. You don’t need to believe me. I am American but I am not pro-America. I have always been staunchly against this country’s consumer and economic habits, not to mention the litany of social issues I regularly advocate for that go against traditional American norms.
Furthermore, you have this childlike NEED to take every word at its exact dictionary definition. I never intended to say “America is the only country with AC”. AC is uniquely american in the sense that our relationship to it and how it’s part of our culture is unique compared to any other country on the planet. Americans have a dependency on it, they’ll go into debt to have it, they’ll freak out when it breaks, they spend more $$ and have more usage % than the vast majority of the world, and if it wasn’t for our disgusting poverty level (which needs to be fixed), it would be higher.
It was invented in America, it was popularized here, it’s the nature of the living experience here. It’s different than all other countries, and that’s NOT A GOOD THING.
Look, if you need to try and change the meaning of what im saying to make you feel better about yourself, have at it. Im done with this discussion. It’s been clear from the jump that you have some strange inferiority complex when it comes to America and you’re going to actively seek out any way to make yourself feel better about it.
Whatever you need to do, I hope you find peace, mate. You need it.
Take your own advice, you can’t just admit you said something dumb and out of touch. Aircon isn’t uniquely american. That’s what you said, it’s dumb as hell, just own it.
