Scary thing is a good third of those all came out of Bell Labs alone.
Interesting to think where the tech industry would be today if we hadn't broken up AT&T when we did.

TV dramas/ soap operas. (Turkey)
Not saying they are good or anything, but it's pretty amazing we are able to sell them to 100+ countries all around the world. Not only that, the thing is they aren't even a niche in most of those places. How many countries can say that they are able to export pop culture? Not that many i reckon.

Insulin is a biological compound you weirdo. Your loser country didn't invent it.
Anyway, I feel like being from America sort of disqualifies me, so I'll pick something from my city instead. Pittsburgh invented the Polio vaccine, a medical breakthrough that every human isn't inherently born with.
Don't forget Basketball. They seem to like that as well.

Oh man my mom loves them! She watches almost everything Greek TV picks up.
I'll let you have the Renaissance (technically Italy didn't exist as a country so you shouldn't be allowed to take credit for that), but the Roman Empire is too far out.

Nothing. Nationalism is stupid and I don't feel any pride over other peoples achievements.

If you can prove that Mexico invented naps I will forever say that Mexico is the greatest country on earth.
There is nothing like a good nap.
My father is Croatian - the tie is a Croatian invention. Keep this in mind on your way to your job ;P
Mother is German, well, Germans have invented nearly everything.
I bet everything US Americans will name itt has been invented by a German, too.
Proud? No, fuck stupid nationalistic sentimentalism.

Like hell you did!
All you did was roll in with your brutish fish-knights and steal them from the indigenous population that created them. Those people had spent centuries pain-stakingly carving them by hand and tooth pick and you took it all from them in a single night. You didn't even get the name right! You misspellt it! They named these magnificent monuments after themselves: the Fnords. You wouldn't even let them have that. A shameful display!
But we Swedes, we remember. We remember the Fnords and their fnords. And we know that one day, when the stars are right, there will be a righteous reckoning. For their great works weren't just the petty decorations you think them... Watch the fnords, Norwegians. Listen to them, as you pull your baby seal skin rugs over your heads at night, as you hear them moan.
And tremble.

I think America invented drive-thru fast food. Now obesity rates are sky rocketing.

This thing (on the right):
plus our longstanding space program and collaboration with NASA and the ISS.
We have a fairly extensive military history, including vital roles in WW 1 and 2, though we tend to get left out of the war movies
Oh and we also invented peacekeeping.

That's just stuff from the US as a whole. As for where I'm from (central Virginia), there wasn't a ton of interesting stuff, but I do know that a school fairly close to where I live was the last school in the US to integrate fully... so there's that.
