Moved to the UK this year and "US with bad lighting" has me screaming

[@Alacrity2021]

Bad lighting but kids generally live longer without being shot in school, bad lighting but we don’t go bankrupt from healthcare, bad lighting but we get paid holiday entitlement, bad lighting but we can take sick days without worrying about getting fired.

[@tamaracarter1836]

@@Dham_Pyra If you look at data, instead of relying on outdated stereotypes, you will realize they actually do not: DMFT Index (which determines how healthy a nation’s teeth are) - 1. Denmark (0.4), 2. Germany (0.5), 3. Finland (0.7), 4. *United Kingdom* and Sweden (0.8), 5. Switzerland (0.9), 6. Canada (1.0), 7. Mexico (1.1), 8. United States and France (1.2). The United Kingdom also ranks one of the lowest in the world for tooth decay - e.g. second in Europe (just behind Denmark), for having the lowest amount of tooth decay in children under the age of 12. British people see the dentist much more often than people in America, and they have retained more of their original teeth by the time they are retired. In Europe in general, they are not obsessed with having fake white teeth like the US - do not mistake that for unhealthy teeth.

[@tamaracarter1836]

@@sevenveils1027 As an American, Alacrity2021 is completely right. And don’t act like if this was a European saying something about the US, that there wouldn’t be American’s in the comments complaining. Difference is the people of Great Britain have every right to complain about what was said, seeing as they are doing much better than us in countless areas (I can add many more to the examples given above if you’d like). I should know, as I’ve been happily living in England for many years.

[@goblin_corpse]

The UK is an odd mixed bag; some places you'll leave a conversation knowing the person's blood type, where their ancestors lived and about all the pets they've ever owned. But visit somewhere like London and people would rather set themselves on fire than do something as simple as tell you the time.

I've seen a video that said Americans use "What's up?" as a greeting and "You alright?" if there's genuine concern while it's the opposite here in the UK. I'm so sorry 😅

[@Joe-cm5kl]

They're called phatic expressions, they differ between demographics and usually the biggest differentiating factor would be age. Tom Scott has a great video on it.

[@tamaracarter1836]

@@ashwinkarnik115 As an American, they are absolutely right. We could talk about safety, for example: The UK has 6 times less homicides per capita (1.1 per 100,000 people [UK] vs 6.5 per 100,000 people [US]), the lowest gun crime in the world after Japan (0.02 per 100,000 people [UK] vs 4.46 per 100,000 people [US]), England’s most dangerous city (London) only has a homicide rate of 1.5 per 100,000 people - whereas America has 60+ cities with a homicide rate of 10x to 50x greater than that; and hundreds that are at least 2x-5x greater (you only have to look up statistics for US cities online as I cannot list them all here). Then when it comes to knife crime, the US is also still higher (USA: 1,476 total - 0.47 per 100,000 people vs United Kingdom: 235 total - 0.34 per 100,000 people). So many other things I could list and go into too if you’d like; ranging from the much better work life balance, far superior healthcare system, easy walkability everywhere, good public transport, higher quality food produce and standards, much stronger animal welfare laws, healthier population, better education system, less corrupt cops, far less divided society etc etc etc… It’s the truth and the US needs serious change.
