Lisco's American Life

134. American Bullshit (10 the next day)

Lisko has lived in the United States for a long time, and sometimes he is really speechless about the imagination and conspiracies of Americans.

The United States is a multi-ethnic country, and its domestic culture and traditions are too complex.

Lisko often sees a lot of speechless remarks on the Internet and in newspapers.

For example, the "heliocentric theory" and the theory of celestial motion proposed by Copernicus many years ago have verified that the earth is round, and with the increasing development of science and technology today, people have verified the accuracy of this statement.

However, there are still many people promoting the idea that the earth is flat.

Lisko initially thought that there would be no market for such nonsense, right? Anyone with a little knowledge would think this was unfair.

However, this statement is still very popular in the United States and is pursued by many people.

The newspaper said that in order to verify the statement that the earth is flat, someone set out to sail, but encountered a storm on the way and the verification ran aground.

A survey in the United States found that 34% of young people aged 18-24 are not sure that the earth is round.

This absurd social phenomenon really made Liske feel dumbfounded.

Sometimes the entire United States is like a ridiculous movie and TV show.

Lisko often worried that if he lived with these people for a long time, he would assimilate and eventually become a fool.

This often makes him have the urge to flee the United States.

This group of people not only believe that the earth is flat, but also believe that the sun and moon are on the surface of the earth and do not revolve around the sun at all.

And in order to verify his statement, an American made a homemade rocket and tried to fly into space to see if it was true. As a result, he fell to death.

Although NASA often releases its own photos of the Earth from space, many people still don't believe it. They believe that the United States created the space agency to deceive the people and try to cover up this fact.

This is something that even primary school students know about on earth, but it is very popular in the United States. Looking at these farces, Liske realized that the theory of Tianping was leftover from ancient Chinese people.

They also held a flat earth theory conference, and many people actually participated. There were also an endless number of companies that named their names, and many well-known companies also joined in the fun. At the conference, they also listed 200 evidences to support their flat earth theory. The speaker at this conference

There are also many professors from universities.

These are not the only nonsense things.

In the United States, the number thirteen is considered a very unlucky number. They reject anything related to thirteen. If your birthday is on the 13th of a certain month, no one will even attend your birthday party.

If you tell me which road you live at No. 13, no one will want to be your friend.

There is no way to verify the origin of this statement. Some people think that it is because Judas was the thirteenth disciple of Jesus, and it was he who betrayed Jesus at the Last Supper, which led to Jesus being arrested. Therefore, Westerners

Dislike13.

There are other theories, saying that it is because women visit relatives thirteen times a year, and some say that in ancient times, there were thirteen steps to the gallows.

So you will never find the thirteenth floor in the building, only 12A.

There are no number thirteens on the roads, and there are no number thirteens in the seats in the cinema.

If they were just taboo on this number, Lisko wouldn't say anything, but they are also taboo on "666."

According to domestic sayings in previous lives, in China the number six represents six or six, but in the United States, six represents the devil in the Bible, and they don't like it either.

When I complain about American culture and customs, it’s not just these, there are many aspects.

For example, in the last century, American astronauts successfully landed on the moon, becoming the first person to land on the moon.

This was originally a good thing that inspired the whole country. If it happened in China, the astronaut would be a hero in the whole country.

However, in the United States, many people suspect that this is simply a fake. They believe that it is impossible for the United States to land on the moon, and it is the best in the world. There are endless claims that the moon landing was filmed in a Hollywood studio with special effects, even if

Even now, this issue is often hyped up by newspapers from time to time, which makes people still believe in this statement.

Whether it is true or not, Lisko is also mixed in, making it difficult to distinguish the true from the false.

When he lived in the United States, he encountered far more nonsense than these.

Microsoft's Bill once discussed his views in an interview forum after becoming the richest man in 1995.

"In the future world, viruses will do more harm to people than wars, and we humans may be destroyed by viruses."

Originally this was just a common conjecture. The future is still very far away and no one can predict what will happen in the future.

But it is precisely this kind of statement that has become an excuse for many people to attack him.

They believe that if there are viruses that harm humans in the future, they must be released by Bill because he has the ability to develop these viruses.

Since then, every time a large-scale influenza outbreak occurred in the United States, someone would jump out and blame Bill.

Some Americans even contacted lawyers to sue Bill for compensation after a relative died of the flu.

During the SARS outbreak in 2003, this new type of virus swept the world. Someone immediately jumped out and said that Bill was experimenting with the virus he had just developed, and that all mankind suffered.

This classmate Bill is really sitting at home, and the pot comes from the sky.

The superstitious behavior of Americans is also particularly nonsense.

When Lisko was in school, he witnessed something.

One of his classmates needed to move off campus, so Lisko accompanied him to find a house.

During the process of finding a house, Lisko's eyes were opened by the various operations performed by his classmates.

During a few days of house viewing, my classmate borrowed a cat from a good friend’s house.

Every time he arrived at a new house, after looking at it and being satisfied with it in every aspect, his friend would put the cat in the house and wait for a while.

Lisko didn't understand why he did this at the time.

Later, the classmate explained that cats can sensitively detect ghosts in the house. According to the Bible, cats’ eyes can go straight to hell and see demons. Many witches’ partners are cats.

If the cat makes no noise in the house, it means that there is no problem with the house and you can live in it with confidence.

This classmate found a house. The location and environment were very satisfactory, and the price was also very suitable. However, because the cat meowed twice after entering, he was unwilling to rent this house. He even hit the housing agent because he thought he was introducing his house.

It is the abode of the devil.

You know, Lisko's classmates are top students from Yale University, a top prestigious school in the United States.

Even knowledgeable college students are like this. You can imagine what the American folk culture is like.

According to statistics, there are currently more than 250 different religious denominations and more than 2.22 million local church groups in the United States.
