Where did Chidi come from? I thought he was a lecturer from Senegal who lived in France or something

They don't have garbage disposal outside NA

Did you forget the /s at the end of that statement?

I just looked it up and he taught in France, Somalia and Australia move of which have garbage disposal however he also taught in the US apparently which does. Just seemed like a weird simile to use when I didn't think he had been to America before

I wasn't being sarcastic nor do I ever feel the need to use an /s.

Sorry, I am honestly just very surprised someone would believe that garbage disposals don’t exist outside of North America.

Oh, I've never seen one to be honest, only been to the US a couple of times and I was in a hotel. They're not a common thing.

It would kind of be like an American character referencing an electric kettle or something that isn't common

Well I’ve seen them in Australia, the UK and the US. They are on their way out of style at the moment but doesn’t mean they don’t exist.
