superiority complex
Being back home has reminded me why my country is better than yours (I’m addressing the USian readers of my blog):
- The metric system. Why is the US in the same list as Liberia and Myanmar?
- Correct date formatting. Little endian or big endian dates make sense. Who thought of middle endian? Over here, 7-11 gave out free slurpies on the correct 7/11, that is, November 7th.
- Roundabouts instead of 4 way stops. They save on unnecessary wear on the brakes if there’s no one else at the intersection, while also stopping crazy drivers from ignoring laws and speeding through.
Sigh. I can’t remember why I left in the first place.
