2024 Recapped (from an American perspective)
A 2024 recap that has been posted on an international subreddit, lists events half of which non-American audience very likely won't be familiar with. The title is ambiguous regarding the country, despite the post clearly being America-centric.

We had climate disasters in Spain and Southern Brazil, martial law and political chaos in South Korea and innocents being killed in Palestine. But apparently someone thought it was more important to put a baseball player in the 2024 recap that no one outside the US knows about.
Disaster in Serbia in which 15 people died and 2 are gravely injured when train station canopy collapsed, which in turn triggered state wide protests that are lasting for 1-1.5 months now. I guess that just a chill guy takes precedent.
They did some family tiktoks and they seem pretty genuine, which is obviously nonsense being as they are social media stars, but as far as that goes I mean, and that little fat kid is hilarious when he puts on a flirty face
Yeah. Some of the more recent seasons are hilariously funny. That Tom Brady one in particular as well (I think it was around 23rd season). Lots of hilarious references to David Lynch's Dune adaptation as well.
That makes sense. I've heard the name before but it's just filed away in the "obscure celebrities who probably did something in America between 1900 and 20XX" corner of my brain. It's a big corner.
Yes, it’s the only sports related one I recognized. I guess the one with the trophy is the superb owl (right?) but I have no idea who any of the sportspeople in any of the pictures are.
And acting as if something involving a baseball player is world news. It would be like me posting a picture of Dominic Solanke just because he is my club's highest selling player.
The few events I recognize from the pictures are only from the last few months, too. Except the Paris Olympics I think (not very interested in sports, even big events, so I'm not sure)
Of course the finale of Murder Drones isn’t on there, it’s from an Australian animation studio, even though some members and the director of the show were American.
No. We know some of them, but the majority of these pictures are of obscure, local events. Just not important enough for the world at large to know about or be interested in.
You don't NEED to know every localised event in other countries, any major events that international people like you and me recognise is enough (e.g. Assad dynasty finally ended or South Korean short-lived Martial law). That 2024 recap is in the international subreddit for Christ sake! I don't even know what 'The Roast of Tom Brady' is or why people even care about it? If something comes from the US like the election or UHC CEO getting whacked is acceptable since international news won't stop talking about it.
What? That wasn't even the point you were making was it, let alone what I was saying. You said Americans didn't know what happened outside of America and I entirely agree
