And I like it.
Back in the olden days (meaning, more than 10 years ago), that sort of thing was called progress.
The the "progressives" came along and ruined it all.

I did not know that! And here's me thinking the beret and stripy jumper was the French couture contribution!
(sorry mate, irresistible racial stereotyping....
)
American cars are massive. I remember traveling to Hawaii my wife and I had a stop over in Chicago, and the taxi we had was the length of a house.
I had a friend whose name was Hoo. When she was asking for her mail at the hotel it was like "What's the name?" "Hoo" "You!" "Yes, hoo!"
get over yourself, you're too old to be a snowflake!
oh but it's got gluten in it....
Yes, but what did the Romans do for us?
Snowflakes don't have gluten!get over yourself, you're too old to be a snowflake!

That'd be residential areas only.
The Aqueduct!
True dat! In fairness most of my locals cite their region but I accept that I may just be lucky, and in fairness early UK curry houses... were... well... And then of course there is the Birmingham Balti.... oooh my it's lurvely..... 'invented in Birmingham by Indian immigrants'. How dare they come over here, set up sucessful businesses, contribute to the country and serve us fantastic food that we love!!! The bluudy nerve of it...
TBH as others have said, the fusion of ideas and flavours is such a delight. Trying to put borders round ideas/flavours/dress is frankly moronic.
I go to an excellent Lebanese-Mediterranean-Fusion restaurant in the center (for Misha, but now I feel unclean) of London - they don't claim 'purity' instead loudly and positively embrace the F-word. (For those in or visiting London it's called Honey and Co., it's tiny and you MUST book ahead! You can thank me later.)
Oh alright then 55 - and 65 on the freeway - although why call it a freeway when you have to pay tolls?
Sewers, toilets, roads (pretty much antiquities highway, with stops and place for the horses to eat and rest. Basically gas station for horses), central heating, the first apartments, code of law that are still used as base for multiple countries (most notably France and the USA).
Also, they "culturally" appropriated barrels and soap (from the Gauls), wine and oil from the greek. Also, democracy from the greek (well, until Caesar).
Boomtrooper.... are you related to Blamtrooper? (Or just in Texas?)
Mheh. My car, which is really not considered big, I have to unfasten my seat belt to open the passenger door. And it's two metric (I did my homework) tons.
I like it that way. I tried a compact once, and I just don't like feeling like I'm strapped into the cockpit of a Sopwith Camel.
and why only 65 when there's 200 miles of completely straight flat road?!? I mean, c'mon.... that's temptation right there
And Arizona cops with mirrored sunglasses with the mirror on the inside.... (what was that from??)
You forgot Educashun!
He's my distant cousin's aunt's third removed step-brother... emigrated from England in the great Weevil Blight of 1756
Into the gluten free aisle they go then! At least that's one branch of activists that the Kumo Burger franchise won't have to deal with!Snowflakes don't have gluten!
And the concept of professional army and military service
All right, but apart from the sanitation, the medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, a fresh water system, and public health, what have the Romans ever done for us?
