‘What Europeans think America is like’ just went wildly viral and it perfectly nails the transatlantic cultural chasm
This past week has been Thanksgiving in the US, so what better time to enjoy this video taking the mick out of our misconceptions about America?
This video by The Content Machine guys has blown up over the last week (it’s part of a series they’ve done on their Insta).

In it, one of the guys pretends that he can drive from New York to Miami and then to LA in the course of one day, while also fried chicken for breakfast and casually encountering mass shootings and violence.
For balance, they also have a video imagining what Americans think European life is like.

The traveling between cities is so true. Practically every Europen I met who are visiting America for the first time, thinks our major cities are just a hop, skip and a jump away from each other.
