As a Midwesterner that grew up in the '60s, my world view totally changed when my work as an engineer took me to China where I basically stayed for about nine years. When I returned to the US, the first thing I purchased was an electric kettle as I am not a coffee drinker. I also use it for many other things than tea as it comes in handy for cooking as well.

[@amandaphillips4344]

I swear the most universal confusion and rage is a kettle w barely any Americans owning verses British beans on bread to us😂 edit: I'm American only trying to make a joke that the kettle vs beans on bread thing is the main difference.. It's like my cousin from the South that freaks out over how lemonade is made here.js

[@nullakjg767]

a lot of americans have water boilers on tap that can just spit out near boiling water from their tap. there are water coolers that always keep a small amount of water boiling so you can easily make tea or instant coffee. we just dont usually have a separate appliance for it. coffee makers as well are basically just electric kettles like a kuerig. if you run a keurig with no pod, you just get near boiling water.

[@edsmith3461-z7m]

I would say a lot of Americans have one.

[@pez230392]

Tbf im in the UK and now have gone one step further and have an instant boiling water tap, but that aside, you may be able to help out with this but i once heard that due to the UK running 220volts and the US only running 110, a kettle in the uk would take a min or 2 to boil but in the US would take 5-10 mins so actually microwaving or boiling it on the stove top was probably actually quicker anyway, but its just what i have heard, wondering if it really takes that long for an electric kettle to boil there

People don't understand that America is really big and people are completely different depending on where you are from. Like my family has an electric kettle. Some people do, some don't. It's like if I said everyone from europe is the same and has the same culture.

It’s big, but due to its age, the folk are more similar than English folk from villages 10 miles apart. North east and California are culturally closer than they are with swaths of the south and Midwest / gross generalisations 🤣

I live in the South in America and I have done shooter drills, which we called lockdown drills, since I was in Elementary school. We had a code word that “the library is closed”. Also, Kettles are used by the older generation like my grandma had the old one with a whistle, but I don’t use one or my mom.

[@pipercharms7374]

I get so annoyed with the "we don't drink tea so we don't need a kettle thing" I was so happy that they actually mentioned that you boil water quickly with it, like I don't like tea but I'd still have a kettle so when I need to boil water for some sort of cooking, I will use the kettle then pour the already boiled water in the pot, its so much quicker than waiting for water to boil on a stove in a pot.

Generally, you get healthcare for free on the NHS but dentistry and opticians have changed. It's free up to a certain age, then you start paying and it's bloody expensive. You can get concessions if you are on benefits or earn under a certain amount. A lot of industries are turning private because the NHS is just not what it once was unfortunately, its heavily underfunded and has management issues.

[@peterang6912]

in most european contries It's not "free", you pay every month a amount of money to your health insurance company but it's a lot less then what the Americans have to pay...( even if they have a health insurance..) or it is inc in the taxes you pay...

[@TheHermitTeller]

@@peterang6912 Yeah I think we have a similar situation in the UK where some of our taxes go towards the NHS. Also, our prescriptions are not free but that's also dependent on individual situations and what medical condition it's for.

[@Alias_Reign]

I feel like Hollywood movies come from a fairytale angle and extrapolate out from there. Whether from the writing and cinematography through to the concepts explored. British movies tend to come from the angle of realism, it feels darker and more raw. A good example of this in one show (I realise this isn’t a movie), is Top Boy. The original was very British feeling, dull and drab cinematography to accurately depict life in inner city London, and the writing wasn’t overly dramatic (it told a relatively believable story). The reboot was Americanised, the colours were lifted and everything made brighter, and the writing became more fantastical. One style is no better than the other but differences between the two styles can be used to different effect.

[@shadowswithin702]

The Red haired girl made me laugh, when she was like oh yea when I think of a kettle I think electric. Well yea because your like Twenty years old, they were not always electric. Everything has to come from somewhere, and I understand that's all she knows. But don't young people realize that everything modern they have, is a continuation of something else. Everything get's better over time, I think we just take it for granted that in the beginning most inventions were....not great but over time have become essential. But anyway I often find that amusing, that we take a lot of what we have for granted.

I would say the school system they experienced in uk is different where u live for me u have infants -> junior -> secondary -> college/sixth form -> uni

In college u pick 1 specific study which usally is a two year course but if u do not get into a two year you can do a 1 year then move to a two year

[@alfie.takes.photos]

And sixth form you pick 3 or more studys to pass and it's either you get in or don't and then u pick college instead

[@alfie.takes.photos]

They are two of the same sector with slight variations

[@tommullinerart]

In the US, it takes almost twice as long to boil the same volume of water due to the difference of household appliance voltage being half that of the UK and Europe. (120v & 240v)

[@richardpoynton4026]

I saw one American commentator saying that the British needed to come ‘up to date’ by using the Imperial measurement system. Which we actually invented, during the British Empire phase of our history. And we still do use it, in combination with Metric. So no points there. We need guns to make our country safer? That’s like ‘f@cking for virginity’ - I don’t think there’s any need to argue this, plus I couldn’t find a crayon font to write it with. I believe he also tried to mock the MOT system, which means you aren’t allowed to drive a vehicle that is unsafe on the road (tread on tyres to shallow to grip road surface safely, or so worn down that they’re ready to burst any second). Or brakes that don’t work properly, which makes stopping your car in traffic less safe, etc etc. I’m all for not being part of someone else’s road traffic accident, thank you very much. If you can’t afford a safe vehicle, then don’t drive. Your freedom to drive stops where it threatens the safety of my family and I whilst on the road. As to not having Kettles, two simple reasons for that. The Americans operate a lower voltage system domestically which means the kettle would take ages to boil - think about 6 or 7 minutes? - and the favourite drink in America is brewed coffee, for which you don’t need a kettle. I also expect if you really want a kettle, they should be pretty easy to find in America, their shops have vast selections of almost everything. So, they don’t own kettles for pretty logical reasons.

As an American, I use a kettle more for my instant ramen than for anything else. I'd rather brew tea outside and make the American Classic Sun Tea

Another thing that the US doesn't have that is big in the UK is squash. Not the root vegetable, but the fruit flavoured concentrate drinks. Dilute with water to drink. Comes in many flavours and variations, including hi-juice versions. A staple for all kids growing up in the UK.

[@melissakennedy5897]

I have an electric kettle. I know a lot of people who have electric kettles, but there are a lot of people who don’t drink tea so it’s not necessary for them and if they do, they can use a stove, top kettle or microwave and nobody is losing their mind or dying. 😮

[@DayRoom-o8y]

When you heat a cup of water in the microwave, you take the cup out of the microwave before you add the tea bag.

[@maximushaughton2404]

With UK TV/films, your not always sure the good guys are going to win. Some Americans do use kettles, but it's rare. It comes down to power supply, in the UK we run at 220v-240v, in the US it's 120v. Because of the lower power it takes twice as long for an eletric kettle to boil 6-7 min's, whereas the UK 3 min's. So it's just as easy to boil water in a pan, on the stove. Military time (US) = 24 hour clock (UK/EU). In the UK, and Europe, we are more used to it because of public transport, trains and bus's timetables use the 24hr clock.

[@user-sf9gs2pg1b]

Our electric kettles in the USA also aren’t as good due to our outlets I heard. It sucks, takes longer for the water to start boiling, but it’s still fast enough that it’s worth making some to cook spaghetti super fast. I love my kettle.

[@RLC-London]

Our outlets are 240v, whereas yours are 120v, but it's still quicker than using a stove

Its 50/50, a lot of homes in the UK have a separate wash room attached to the kitchen. Some British homes have floor heating but its not as good as wall radiators.

If it's just a cup of water, then most will microwave it. If it's more than a cup then usually you'd either heat a pot on the stove or use the coffee maker (w/out any coffee, of course). At least in my house that was the case.

Please, if you don’t know what you are talking about please refrain from speaking, i pay about £4500 a year in taxes for the NHS, given the average health insurance per year in America is almost $9000, and you still have to pay thousands out of pocket on top of that, and you are incorrect about the government deciding ‘whether’ we get treatment or not, absolutely nobody in this country gets denied treatment, the government don’t get to decide, if you are sick, you are treated, end of story, unlike a system where by your insurer can decide not to cover you leaving you unable to afford treatment, essentially denying you treatment, you have this so backwards, you pay double in insurance to what we pay for national insurance and you actually can be denied treatment where as we cant, if you are sick, you are treated, and you got no bill for it, you pay 9000 a year and they can still slap you with a 20000 bill if they want

[@digbydark9313]

I don't understand why people complain about taxes. Taxes make life easier. You live wherever and you need to contribute to make that place worth living in. Its called community and if you don't invest in it, it will suck.

[@pez230392]

@@digbydark9313 completely agree, id understand if they were trying to take 60% of your earnings but here your first 12000 earnings are tax free, after thats its 20% total with that split between national insurance and income taxes, in total i pay about £600 a month and that covers my health care (no bills at all upon point of use) roads, houses, communities being built, the police and fire services, so many more things, and yet that figure i pay alone is probably less than a lot of health insurance payments in the US?

[@overthewebb]

A big issue that is never mentioned is you can also have private healthcare in the UK, people have a choice, most rarely use it, as it's not needed. This government decides is just nonsense. I have yet to meet anyone in the UK who is against the NHS. It's American propaganda to be against it.
