Lisko's American life

Chapter 138 134. Bullshit Americans (the next day ten)

Li Sike has lived in the United States for a long time, and sometimes he is really speechless about American brains and conspiracies.

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

Li Sike often sees many speechless speeches on the Internet and in newspapers.

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

But there are still many people propagating the statement that the earth is flat.

Li Sike initially felt that there should be no market for such nonsense remarks?Anyone with a little bit of knowledge would think this is improper.

However, this argument is still very popular in the United States and has been sought after by many people.

The newspaper said that in order to verify that the earth is flat, someone set sail, but was caught in a storm on the way and the verification was stranded.

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 makes Lisko feel dumbfounded.

Sometimes the entire United States is like an absurd film and television drama.

Li Sike often worried that if he lived with these people for a long time, would he assimilate with them, and finally become a silly fork.

This makes him often have the urge to escape from the United States.

This group of people not only think that the earth is flat, but also think that the sun and the moon are on the surface of the earth, and there is no such thing as revolving around the sun.

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

Although NASA often publishes photos of the Earth from space taken by itself, many people still don't believe this. They think that the United States created the space agency to deceive the people and try to conceal this fact.

This is on the earth; things that even elementary school students know about are very marketable in the United States. Li Sike watched these farce, and the saying in Tianping was left over by ancient Chinese people.

They also held a flat talk conference, and there were many people attending it, and the naming companies were endless. Many well-known companies also joined in the fun. The conference also listed 200 evidences supporting their flat talk. The speakers at this conference There are also many professors from universities.

The nonsense is more than just these.

In the United States, the number thirteen is considered very unlucky. They reject everything about 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 that you live on the 13th road, no one wants to be your friend.

There is no way to verify the source of this statement.Some think it is because Judas is the thirteenth disciple of Jesus, and it was he who betrayed Jesus during the Last Supper and caused Jesus to be arrested, so Westerners hate 13.

There are other sayings that it is because a woman has to come to relatives thirteen times a year, and some say that there were 13 steps on the gallows in ancient times.

So you will never find 13 floors in the building, only 12A.

There is no thirteen on the road, and there are no thirteen seats in the cinema.

If only this number was taboo, Lisko would not say anything, but they still taboo "666."

According to the domestic saying in the previous life, 6 in China represents Liuliu Dashun, but in the United States, 6 represents the devil in the Bible, and they don't like it either.

It's not just these, but there are many more aspects to complain about American culture and customs.

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 was originally a good thing for the whole country. If it happened in China, this astronaut would be a hero of the whole country.

However, in the United States, many people suspect that this is a fake. They think that it is impossible to land on the moon at the level of the United States, and it is still in the world. The argument that the moon landing was shot in a Hollywood studio and then made special effects has been non-stop, even if Until now, this issue is often hyped up by newspapers from time to time, and people still believe this statement.

Whether it is true or not, Li Sike is also mixed in, and it is difficult to distinguish true from false.

When he was living in the United States, he encountered far more nonsense than this.

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

"In the future world, viruses will harm people more than wars. We humans may be destroyed by viruses."

Originally this was just an ordinary conjecture, the future is still very far away, and no one can decide 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 that harm humans in the future, it must be Bill released 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.

Even some Americans have loved ones who died of flu in their homes. They even contacted a lawyer to sue Bill for compensation.

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

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

American superstition is also particularly nonsense.

Li Sike witnessed one thing when he was in school.

He has a classmate who needs to move to live off-campus, so Lisko accompanies him to find a house.

During the process of finding a house, Lisko opened his eyes with the various operations of his classmates.

During a few days of house inspections, the classmate borrowed a cat from a good friend's house.

Every time I arrived at a new house, I was satisfied with all aspects after seeing it, and my friend put the cat in the house and waited for a while.

Lisko didn't understand why he did it.

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

If the cat is silent in the house, it means that there is nothing wrong 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 very suitable. It is because the cat yelled twice after entering, and he was unwilling to rent it. He even beat the real estate agent, thinking he introduced his house. It is the residence of the devil.

You know, Li Sike's classmates are top students from Yale University.

Knowledgeable college students are like this, you can imagine the American folk customs.

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.
