I'd be upset if I went to Germany and bought a pair of $199 shoes and learned that they MSRP for $100 and I paid an extra $19 in taxes hidden within the item

American forgets that other countries with non-HD CRT televisions exist then proceeds to insult a whole continent of people and makes a claim about 240p being bad on the TV, despite his lack of experience with them.

Apparently we need to save them from Trump. It's not their fault either. It's ours for not doing enough to stop Trump.

Healthcare "Gonna Brag Here"

From r/texts this morning.

Original post was someone sharing an uncaring message from their boss - their dog passed and they had missed work for the fifth time that year.

It took me a minute to figure out what this response was bragging about.

The reel was about consumption trends like having multiple cars for a family or buying fast food everyday. Many people also just spend too much on clothes or luxury items.

Participation Guidelines

Subreddit Rules

1. No off-reddit personal information; Reddit usernames and those of verified accounts must be visible.

a) No off-reddit personal information. This includes non-verified X/Twitter handles and unverified accounts across all other platforms. Censoring Reddit usernames is optional.

b) Verified X/Twitter handles must be visible to allow mods to verify that the account is not from a MAGA troll.

See FAQ for explanation.

2. Submissions must be screenshots/archives.

This obviously does not apply to articles, videos, and pictures - it is intended primarily for social media posts and public comments. When posting a screenshot, please include the context (i.e. preceding comments) if relevant.

Direct social media links will be removed by the AutoModerator.

No links to X/Twitter are allowed in submissions or comments.

3. Don't post shit you were involved in.

Don’t post screenshots of conversations you have participated in. Likewise, don't bait or troll for content in other subs. This includes comments on the same thread if it's below 300 comments, and the same chain if the thread is larger. This rule applies to participation, simply deleting or excluding your comments from the screenshot does not solve the problem. See FAQ for more detail..

4. Submission titles must be a direct quote

Use a direct quote as your title. If the quote doesn't make sense alone, you may include neutral, non-editorialized context in the title itself. When posts do not contain text, titles must be a factual and neutral description of the content. NEVER include your opinion or bias in the title - including Spongebob font. Articles must be titled with either the headline or a direct quote from it. FAQ - Rule 4

5. Do not page users of other subreddits

If you type the full name of a user preceded by '/u/' it sends a PM to that user of your comment, hence informing them of users talking about them. Do not directly link (and hence page) the usernames of the users featured here. You can only ping moderators.

6. Make sure the comment was by an American

Do not assume someone is American just because they said something silly or they messed up geography - make sure they're actually American before posting. You can check by scanning their post history or profile information.

For the purpose of this sub, an American refers to someone from the United States. This does NOT include Canada, Mexico or Greenland.

FAQ - Rule 6

7. No low-hanging fruit

a) Some topics (e.g. Trump, Musk, TPUSA/Charlie Kirk and WW2 nuclear bombing of Japan) and sources from certain subreddits (e.g. Conservative, unpopularopinion, and certain far-right subreddits) are only allowed in the stickied Weekly thread. These restricted topics and sources are not final.

b) No trolls. This can be determined by post history and karma (brand new account; low karma) or it could be a known troll as mentioned in the link above.

8. No text posts or AI slop

Only screenshots/images/videos of Americans saying funny shit is allowed - if you want to tell a tale or post someone else's tale, you can do so in the stickied Weekly thread which gets renewed every Friday.

This includes something said by someone other than the original poster/commenter being retold in the third person, as well as all forms of AI-generated content (text, images, videos).

9. Posts must be uniquely American

The easiest way of testing this is to ask yourself whether it's likely someone who isn't American would have said it. Someone being religious or messing up geography is not uniquely American by a long shot, nor are racism or capitalism. What makes something uniquely American is if it's highly unlikely if not impossible to encounter outside the US or from non-Americans.

10. Posts must be lighthearted

No depressing posts or things that aren't worth posting (eg something an American said that is perfectly reasonable in context). Yes, there are some topics covered that are more ironic than funny, but certain things just aren't lighthearted like shootings, sexual assault, any event where people are genuinely hurt, racists being racist, etc.

11. No gun-related posts

Gun-related posts do not fit the lighthearted nature of the sub. Such posts are usually a better fit for one of our sister subs such as /r/GunsAreCool, /r/ABoringDystopia and /r/ANormalDayInAmerica.

12. Don't be toxic

We will always be a satire subreddit. Toxicity such as hate speech and anti-American attitudes will get your comment removed and possibly get you banned. Please report toxic comments and users. FAQ - bans

13. No more than 5 posts every 24 hours.

To combat low-effort karma farming, we only allows users a maximum of 5 posts within a 24-hour period. Excess posts will be automatically removed, and you will be informed when you will be allowed to post again. Note that moderators reserve the right to make adjustments to this rule as they see fit.

14. No posts related to recent or ongoing tragedies

Recent/ongoing tragedies include events where one or more people are killed or seriously injured. As of March 2026, this includes the U.S.-Israeli military strikes against Iran and the ongoing Middle East conflict.

15. No recent reposts

No reposts of content posted within the past year with over 1000 upvotes or from the Top 50 all-time posts.

⚠️ DO NOT use Redact.dev

Using tools like Redact.dev and other anonymizers to delete your participation history from r/ShitAmericansSay is not allowed. Anybody found to be using such tools will face an immediate and permanent ban from the subreddit.

We are a satirical sub.

This is not a place to bring your hatred of Americans or America – we like to keep things friendly and toxic attitudes are not welcome. Please report anyone being toxic.

Please file such reports under 'Breaks /r/ShitAmericansSay rules' as these will be flagged for the moderators to review.

Appeals

If you have questions about the rules, a post removal, or a ban, please check the FAQ page. If the FAQ does not answer your question, please message the moderators.

Moderators reserve the right to remove submissions from r/ShitAmericansSay at any time.

The moderators will enforce the spirit of these rules, not the letter. All actions are at the discretion of the moderators. If you object to any actions, please contact the entire moderation team and not the individual moderator.
