Lisko’s American Life
134. Crazy American (The next day 10)
Lisko has lived in the United States for a long time, and sometimes he is really speechless about the American brains and conspiracies.
The United States is a multi-ethnic fusion country, and its domestic culture and traditions are too complicated.
Lisko often sees a lot of speechless remarks on the Internet and in newspapers.
For example, the "heliocentric theory" and the theory of celestial bodies' movement proposed by Copernicus many years ago have already 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 who are promoting the idea that the earth is flat.
Lisko thought at first that there should be no market for such nonsense, right? Anyone with a little knowledge would think this is unfair.
But this statement is still very popular in the United States and has been sought after by many people.
The newspaper said that in order to verify the statement that the earth is flat, someone sailed in a boat, 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 Lisko feel dumbfounded.
Sometimes the whole of America looks like an absurd film and television drama.
Li Ke often worried that after living with these people for a long time, he would assimilate and become a fool in the end.
This gave him the urge to flee the United States from time to time.
This group of people not only believes that the earth is flat, but also believes that the sun and the moon are on the surface of the earth, and there is no such thing as revolving around the sun at all.
And in order to verify his own statement, an American made a homemade rocket and tried to fly into space to see if it was true, but he fell to his death.
Although NASA often releases photos of the earth from space that it has taken, many people still don’t believe this. They think that the US created the space agency to deceive the people and try to cover up this fact.
This is on the earth; things that even elementary school students know are very marketable in the United States. Lisko looked at these farces, and the saying in Tianping was left over from the ancient Chinese.
They also held a conference on the flat earth theory, and there were actually many people attending it. The companies named after it also emerged in endlessly. There are also many professors in colleges and universities.
The bullshit is not the only thing.
In the United States, the number thirteen is considered a very unlucky number. They reject everything related to thirteen. If your birthday falls on the thirteenth of a certain month, there will be no one to attend your birthday party.
If you say which road you live at No. 13, no one wants to be your friend.
What is the source of this statement, there is no way to verify. Some people think that it is because Judas was the thirteenth disciple of Jesus, and it was he who betrayed Jesus in the Last Supper that caused Jesus to be arrested, so Westerners hate 13.
There are other theories, saying that it is because women have to visit relatives thirteen times a year, and some say that there were thirteen steps to the gallows in ancient times.
So you will never find the thirteenth floor in the building, only 12A.
There is no thirteen on the road, and there is no thirteen on the seats in the movie theater.
If only this number is taboo, Lisko will not say anything, but they still taboo "666."
According to the domestic sayings in the previous life, in China, 6 represents Liuliu Dashun, but in the United States, 6 represents the devil in the Bible, and they don't like it.
Talking about American culture and customs, not only these, but also many other aspects.
For example, in the last century, American astronauts successfully landed on the moon and achieved the title of the first person to land on the moon.
This is a good thing to inspire the whole country. If it happened in China, this astronaut would be a national hero.
But in the United States, many people suspect that this is a fake. They think that the level of the United States is impossible to land on the moon, and it is still in the world. Even now, this issue is often hyped up by newspapers from time to time, and people who read it still firmly believe this statement.
Whether it is true or not, Lisko is also involved in it, and it is difficult to distinguish the true from the false.
When he lived in the United States, he encountered far more than that.
Microsoft's Bill, after becoming the richest man in 1995, once discussed his views in an interview symposium.
"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 an ordinary conjecture, the future is still far away, and no one can say what will happen in the future.
But it was precisely this kind of remarks that became an excuse for many people to attack him.
They believe that if there are viruses invading humans in the future, it must be released by Bill, because he has the ability to develop these viruses.
Since then, every time there is a large-scale flu in the United States, someone will jump out and reprimand Bill.
Some Americans even contacted a lawyer to sue Bill for compensation when their relatives died of the flu.
When SARS broke out in 2003, this new type of virus swept the world, and someone jumped out immediately, saying that Bill was experimenting with the virus he had just developed, and all mankind suffered.
This student Bill is really sitting at home, the pot comes from the sky.
Americans' superstitious behavior is also particularly nonsense.
When Lisko was in school, he witnessed something.
He had a classmate who needed to move off-campus, and Lisko accompanied him to find a house.
During the process of finding a house, the various operations of his classmates opened Lisko's eyes.
During the several days of looking at the house, the classmate deliberately borrowed a cat from a good friend's house.
Every time I went to a new house, after seeing it, I was satisfied in all aspects, so my friend put the cat in the house and waited for a while.
Lisko did not understand why he did so at the time.
Later, my classmates explained that because cats can detect ghosts in the house sensitively, in the Bible, cats’ eyes can go straight to hell and can see demons, and many witches’ partners are cats.
If the cat does not make any noise in the house, it means that there is no problem with the house and you can live in peace.
This classmate found a house, the location and environment are very satisfactory, and the price is also very suitable, just because the cat barked twice after entering, he was unwilling to rent this house, and even beat the real estate agent, thinking that he introduced his house It is the dwelling place of demons.
You know, Lisko's classmate is a top student in the top American school, Yale University.
Knowledgeable college students are all like this, one can imagine how the American folk atmosphere is.
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.
