The United States is a large, vast country that's known for a lot of things. Not all of those things are good, of course. But that doesn't mean they're all bad, either.
Redditors from around the world shared the things America does better than anywhere else in the world. Unsurprisingly, the list is pretty long.
Sure, a lot of corn products aren't very healthy (like high fructose corn syrup). But let's face it, cornbread is one of the tastiest things to come out of the States.
"I'm a Canadian from the west coast, and was always VERY impressed with the 24/7 rest areas. Clean washrooms, nice grassy areas for dogs, picnic tables, and a lot of times people selling crafts, or offering free coffee!"
Another user added, "The world's largest military air fleet is the US Air Force. The world's second-largest military air fleet is the US Navy."
In fact, the US has more military aircraft than Russia, India, China, Japan, and Israel combined.
Deserts, tundra, plains, swamplands. The US really does have a lot of different climates within its states and territories.
There are a lot of places in Europe, for instance, that don't even understand the concept of iced coffee. Or ice in general. What's up with that?
"The Smithsonian is in fact a collection of over 20 museums, galleries, and zoo across three states, plus dozens of research and education centers, collections, affiliates around the globe."
"And to me, the greatest part is the heart of the organization in Washington DC: THIS is what we've chosen to surround the National Mall, the platonic ideal of our commons and center of our democracy- Dozens of living monuments to art, science, history, and culture."
"...and a half a dozen different forms of regional folk music. Nearly every culture in the world imitates our musical forms."
"They excel in all categories of entertainment; Electronic gaming, Sports (except soccer), Adult, Music, etc.."
Not to mention the fact that Hollywood, Broadway, and other huge entertainment hubs exist.
Accessible bathroom stalls, stairs with rails, and elevators in most buildings. No country is perfect on that front, but the US does better than a lot of countries out there.
It might be because the rest of the world is playing that other football (AKA soccer), but no one can beat the US at its own sport!
Halloween is definitely a very American thing, so of course, no one does it quite like them.
It's not a thing in every place in Europe, but you're definitely going to find a lot of the bathrooms in bigger cities require payment.
Say what you want, but the US can't be beaten when it comes to convenience.
"That being said, Argentina and Brazil also do some nice BBQ spreads."
Actually, a lot of different countries have their own (really good!) kinds of barbecue. But American style just hits different.
There's also that one state park in Texas that has actual preserved dinosaur tracks that you can visit. Personally, I think that's so cool!
When it comes to dino bones, the only country that could compete with the US is Canada.
"Land in the UK is constantly being turned into Lego housing estates and I’m quickly running out of local places to take my dog without having to drive 20 miles or pay £12 to hire a secure field for an hour."
The US has huge urban areas, and then these majestic national parks. It's amazing how they can do both.
"There is a reason foreigners come here to go to a school at a rate that far exceeds Americans going to school abroad."
American supermarkets have so many things, it's kind of crazy. But at least there's literally something for everyone in them.
