British. No idea how we have a reputation for politeness; borderline abusive piss-taking is standard between mates, as is referring to each other as cunts. Groups of lads, and particularly middle-aged pub goers, can often be lairy, loud, obnoxious, aggressive louts.

It’s baffling. Though in fairness, this stereotype exists mainly in the US. Countries we can get to via EasyJet or RyanAir have probably long been disavowed of this impression.

Australian here. We aren't drowning in murderous wildlife.

We do have deadly creatures, but the average person will likely never encounter them.

... we did have to ban a peppa pig episode about making friends with random spiders because aaaaa dear christ no, but apart from that really it's fine here...

There are none. Every single thing said about Florida is absolutely true.

Canada. That we ride polar bears everywhere.

Just ridiculous - polar bears are only in the Arctic. The rest of us commute by moose.
