What’s one thing about America that foreigners appreciate more than Americans themselves? 🇺🇸

As someone from Asia, I think Americans sometimes underestimate how beautiful their national parks, small-town diners, and road trip culture are.
What’s something you think deserves more appreciation?

Before coming to the US, I hoped to achieve upward social mobility. After arriving, I spend every day fighting to protect my wallet at Trader Joe's cashiers. Sure enough, besides the Federal Reserve's interest rates, the most stable thing in the US is the unchanging Engel coefficient.

Happy 4th of July to all AMERICAN Citizens, and Happy 250 birthday to the greatest country on EARTH! GOD BLESS THE USA!

Here is my story... I Got to this country in 1980 as a 2 year old from Cuba with my mom, and half brother who was 12 at the time. With this said my mother LOVED this country and was as RED, WHITE, and BLUE as anyone in the USA! We lost her in 2016 the day after we lost Nancy Raegan and a week before what would have been my mothers 76th Birthday. She was born 03/13/1940 and she always loved our flag, and would OFTEN tell me, and my half brother to honor, and respect this land.

This is the land of the free, home of the brave and coming from CUBA to us this is the country which has helped us have a life vastly different had we not come here. My mother urged us to become Citizen's and sadly my brother had some issues in the mid 80's and he wasn't able to do it. My mother myself, and father who came here from Cuba also but he left months before we did to Spain in another deal not how we got here. We did not see him until he moved to the USA in 1981 and he moved to California where we had been sent to live once we got here.

From there eventually we ended up in FLORIDA in 1985 and never gone back to live anywhere else... Been a proud Floridian since, got my Citizenship here in 1995 with my mom, and dad also and LOVE this land. Would never call myself a "Cuban/American" I simply am an "American" there is nothing else.

God bless us all.I Got to this country in 1980 as a 2 year old from Cuba with my mom, and half brother who was 12 at the time.

My mom myself, and father who also Cuban but came here from Spain as he left months before we did to Spain in another deal because in his side of my family most are from Spain and he was able to leave Cuba and live with family there thinking he would help get us out of Cuba... My mom didn't wait for him so we got here before he could even help with money to bring us here. Now we did not see him until he moved to the USA in 1981 and he moved to California where we had been sent to live once we got here.

Happy 4th of July 2026 God bless us all.

A western comedy song I wrote to celebrate US Independence

https://suno.com/song/17623b1e-f739-4315-bbfa-45c063bd2433

In a home made lore-driven project, I created a fictional band. In the lore they were in a tour in Texas during Independence Day. One of the members of the band is a comedian and she wrote a spaghetti western comedy song to celebrate US in a very American setting. The song is called "The singing sheriff".

Enjoy the song. And I would appreciate your feedback.

What did you guys have to eat this July 4th?

I started this morning off pretty simple, just a glass of milk and some peanut butter bars but for lunch I had a home style smash burger with all the toppings I could fit on it with some zesty fries on the side and for desert I shared a frozen lemonade with the fam.

For dinner I finished the day off with pulled pork barbecue smoked to perfection with bacon wrapped jalepeño poppers, a massive salad and some baked beans.

Simply the best

Austrian American on how my Austrian friends feel about America.

they fucking love it. they think america is so cool, all of them do. every time I see them they ask about surfing (i live in ca),gun, etc. they really like that you can shoot guns at their age in America. they all really like America and think it’s such an awesome place, just goes to show, most of the haters are terminally online

it's absolutely insane what other countries' tourists have been doing here and getting away with on social media. yet WE'RE the awful tourists.

australians trashing walmart, english picking fights and sexually harassing our women, canadians booing our anthem. what a complete shitshow. can you imagine if we went to another country en masse and did these things? our reputation would never recover. but we're all supposed to just forget about this because it's "charming" and "fun"? i get the world cup brings in money but if these "people" are gonna act like this here then idk if it's worth it to host it again.
