Pieces Of Undeniable Proof That America Is Really Weird. Is Hilarious.

Megi7 — Sun, 06 Jul 2014 23:00:39 +0000

We’re too cool to use Celsius.

If you live in the United States of America, then you’ll know it’s a little different from other countries around the world. It’s a relatively young nation and a melting pot of different cultures. You may think you know how the US differs from other countries, but you probably don’t know the half of it.

Here are some interesting ways that the United States is a little weird, relative to the rest of the world. These facts may make you feel a little proud… but also a little strange.

What is this “ananas” thing you speak of?

It’s called “world cup soccer,” people.

Only losers use the metric system.

We’re going to make things REAL confusing for you.

No big deal.

LOLOL, labeling?

All of our cities are big. ‘Merica.

The cool kids hate the 24-hour clock.

Not to brag, but…

Because Internet forms know the most popular country

We also have tall buildings.

America also loves its gold.

USA! USA! USA! We’re the #1 Superbowl Champs.

But we’re not so special when it comes to baseball…

But we’ve got the moon covered.

How Much It Costs to Treat an Appendicitis in America

Megi7 — Mon, 30 Dec 2013 00:15:55 +0000

One guy wrote:

I never truly understood how much healthcare in the US costs until I got Appendicitis in October. I’m a 20 year old guy. Thought other people should see this to get a real idea of how much an unpreventable illness costs in the US.

The cover page of sorts. You can see the original total up at the top. Thankfully I was still on my dad’s insurance for another month or so. $55,029,.31 would have been way too much for me to pay on my own. Then again $11,119.53 is still a ton at this time in my life.
First page (back)

The services I received. I think you can see how outrageous some of these costs are. Such as the Recovery Room that I was in for maybe two hours. Or the Room and Board that I had for one night. Or maybe the $4,500 worth of anesthesia they supposedly used on me.

Second page

The rest of the services. $16,000 for the actual surgery.
