  • Car insurance is optional
  • Kids get govt subsidised dental care until they’re 18
  • Most common prescriptions are $5 or free
  • We did away with pennies because they’re pointless
  • It’s common to go barefoot into shops and grocery stores
  • Most kids in elementary school go barefoot
  • Semi automatic weapons banned
  • Kids get 20 hours govt subsidised daycare per week
  • When you sell your car the license plate typically goes with it
  • Most gas stations serve hot food and it’s good (by American standards)
  • Online banking allows instant direct cross-bank money transfer, so nobody uses Paypal or Venmo
  • Nobody pays by check, nobody carries around a checkbook
  • It’s not unusual for public parks to have exercise equipment
  • For short domestic flights, time between entering the airport and boarding the plane can be as short as 60 seconds
  • The milky way is still visible in good sized towns
  • Praying mantises are still common
  • Money (bills and coins) feature women, nature, and explorers not war generals, bankers, and buildings.

I’m guessing New Zealand.

I guess NZ. But it's just a guess.

Yeah, well, my guess is they're either a bot or full of shit about where they live.

They post a bunch about U.S. Politics.

I was going to say Australia until children attending school barefoot. I've also never caught a domestic flight in 60 seconds.

Where is this ? Do you have giant insects there or deadly weather to compensate?
