one thing I’ve noticed while running an online shop is that Americans never include their country when writing their address.

I don’t mean when filling in online forms, bc that’s obviously a required element. but when emailing me for address changes for orders, they never include a country in the updated address. but I always know the country is the United States of America because literally nobody else around the world would do that.

Seriously? Why would you include it though? It’s extraneous information like ofc its the us

there are 195 countries in the world

But we also always have to include our states, which if you get confused what country “California” is in, that’s kind of on you.

If you get confused what country “Hessen” is in, that’s kind of on you.

If you get confused what country “Karnataka” is in, that’s kind of on you.

If you get confused what country “Kärnten” is in, that’s kind of on you.

If you get confused what country “Bahia” is in, that’s kind of on you.

If you get confused what country “Manitoba” is in, that’s kind of on you.

If you get confused what country “Colima” is in, that’s kind of on you.

I witnessed this today with my own two eyes

Me before reading this post: Yeah, maybe I should try to learn what all the different US states are called. Education is important and Geography is fun.

Me after reading this post: Actually, I think I won’t do that. Instead I will make an active effort to forget all of the US states I know of.

one of my favorite books as a kid was this one on speculative zoology/evolution that I loved so much I borrowed it to the point my school had to chase me up on returning it several times. it influenced my early creature art and design and pushed me to delve into my own specbio (on dragons. no surprises there). I loved the informatic entries, all their little lore bits and ecological adaptations; the wild color palettes, their weird little shapes. it was called The New Dinosaurs, by Dougal Dixon.

there were two more books in the series that my school didn’t have, which is either a blessing or a curse, because the third book in the set is called Man After Man.

which contains this.
