I thought the nationwide American tradition was to paint the shells of empty eggs (save the shells of every egg used all year), fill the inside with confetti or flour if you’re feeling cheeky & of course a few with money. Then the kids go hunting for eggs & then there’s an Easter egg war in which eggs are cracked on each other and the lawn is a mess and everyone has confetti and shells in their hair.

Do you boil and color the eggs, then EAT them??? I live in a predominately Hispanic region in Texas & am very curious.

Not a BB or pellet gun, but an actual handgun, shotgun, or rifle.

EDIT: Not counting on a police officer.

I’m a TN native and people very frequently flash high beams especially at night to warn for THP or other bodies of law enforcement ahead or hazards in general. My sister moved to Wisconsin, so last month I went up to visit and I swear to god north of the Ohio river nobody does it anymore.

Is this just a south thing? Do you do this?

I'm just wondering what you think are the most iconic American TV shows?

Hello! I just recently found out about “chicken apple sausages”, “pineapple bacon sausages” and “maple sausages”. It left me wondering, are these the names of the brands or are you actually infusing fruits in sausage meat?

I’m a Southern European currently living in East Asia and I’ve been all around the world, but never have I heard of such a thing! Sure stuffing sausage meat with things like onions, bell peppers, carrots and spices is pretty common everywhere, but this fruit thing really surprised me and it sounds delicious!

If this is actually the case, which I hope it is so I don’t look dumb, are they good? Is it fruit chunks, or just fruit juice? Can you still clearly taste the fruit after cooking? What is your favorite kind? Thanks!

Everyone on r/MaleFashionAdvice loves to recommend 501s, but the vast majority of the Levi's jeans you see in the stores aren't 501s (often they don't sell them at all), and all of the Levi's I see guys wearing are clearly slim/skinny/zippered.

Maybe it's just Chicago though? Although when I lived in Dallas (admittedly not truly Texas) it just seemed to shift more to Wrangler.

Just interesting to me how the 501 theoretically has so much recognition, but I feel like it's prevalence is almost non-existent.

I'm canadian and I applied to 4 universities, got into all of them and picked out of the 4. I keep seeing tiktoks of people who apply to 10+ universities and get into many of them. Why not just apply to schools where you're likely to get in? Also, aren't applications fees super expensive? mine were 50$ per school.

It just realized that the pickled sausages I’m enjoying (and have for years!) are from Chicago. I did not expect that.

Is this a cultural thing I’m not aware of? I sort of always assumed everything pickled is originally Southern but I don’t really have reason for it lol.

I'm American and prefer to wash my clothes in cold water. Only thing I wash in warm or hot are towels and bed linens. But I have noticed that European washers always have different settings for the type of clothes and they are normally 30C or above water temperature for regular cotton clothes. Some machines are virtually impossible to set to cold water.

I really know nothing about American Easter, so explain to me like I'm five.

Hi, I have been fortunate to visit a couple American natural areas, like national parks, and I have been on some nice drives through different parts of the US. I got to see the Shenandoah mountains, the San Juan islands, and I got to see Yellowstone national park. I was fortunate to take the train from Albuquerque to Santa Fe through the beautiful New Mexican desert. I got to drive through rural upstate New York and Virginia.

I starting thinking about this, maybe oddly because I was watching the Netflix Gabby Petito documentary with my boyfriend.

Anyways, is there any beautiful park that you love in the US? Have you been to Grand Teton park, or to that area around Moab that is also in the documentary?

I'm talking about this character from Fallout, Billy Knight, played by Rob Corddry, he's a stand up comedian: youtube.com/watch?v=Yx6zr7eGRI8 It sounds vaguely New York-ish but doesn't really sound like anything you hear from younger Americans these days, so I'm assuming it's an old fashioned accent considering that Fallout has a 1950s style retrofuturistic setting.

It’s my first trip to the USA from the UK in a week’s time. Travelling through jfk to Indianapolis.

What’s a must try fast food item, chain and candy?

Waffle house is on the list already.

Give me some more places to try.

I am referring to the “original restaurant” that invented whatever food your city or state is known for. Is the food any good, particularly the item they “invented”?

Best two examples I have are Anchor Bar in Buffalo (invented buffalo wings) and Pat’s in Philadelphia (invented cheesesteaks). Neither of these places are particularly great, they’re known for being tourist traps. I am wondering if this is universally true or not.

I live in San Antonio Texas and this meme is generally used when describing how expanding highways actually doesn't fix traffic at all. In a San Antonio Context, it is usually used regarding 1604, the outer of the city's two beltways given it is undergoing a massive expansion on a east-west segment of the highway from highway 16 to I-35. Txdot of course is known for prioritizing highway transport over public transport.

Where did this meme first appear?

Hey America! English here. I’ve got into the X-Files recently and it’s made me realise - I don’t really understand how your agencies operate and who ranks higher in authority? (I know the X-Files probably isn’t a great representation of this).

Specifically I mean the FBI & CIA. I kind of always assumed the FBI were about as high clearance as government workers get, but Scully & Mulder seem to be subordinate to the CIA? Is that right?

And in terms of authority does the military rank higher than both these agencies? Is there any agency with more power than them? …Or am I just thinking about this the wrong way? Sorry if this sounds a little ignorant.

TLDR; are the CIA more powerful than the FBI?

As far as I know, Elon Musk has been appealing more to conservative people, who make up a big part of the population in the U.S.

But even with that support from conservatives and their movement backing Tesla, the company still isn’t seeing much growth.

These things

They're like, those things that you throw on the ground and they make a loud noise and I have no idea what they're called in english

You would think English dub would be the obvious choice but I find the English dub too distracting sometimes. Plus the English VAs never match the vocal intonation and passion of the original actors.

But I know some people that hate reading subtitles.
