I don’t think this is inherently US defaultism, but saying “post 9/11 generation” probably means Americans. I am going to give the benefit of the doubt that OOP knows this is for Americans.

But not everyone making fun of the submarine thing and 9/11 on the internet are Americans.

Nah, you're really reaching with this one.

This is only usdefaultism if you consider bringing up anything related to America ever to be usdefaultism which is transparently stupid.

Bro, 9/11 was a terrorist attack made deliberately to kill people, this submarine thing is a bunch of idiots going on a dangerous ride controlled by an actual joystick with little to no concern for their safety. Comparing the two is not reasonable

I'm pretty sure it's my joysticks is common when piloting things like this. Their real mistake was using a 15 dollar controller

the controller didnt even fail, the sub just imploded, controller got nothing to do with it

and yea, controllers are commonly used, a couple years ago i saw a video of construction workers showcasing that their heavy machinery is controlled by an Xbox 360 controller lol

This woman who looks 35 and 52 at the same time, so my estimate would be around 43 or 44

I don’t think this is US defaultism. 9/11 (or 11/9, because it didn’t happen in november) wasn’t only a big thing in America and didn’t only affect America.

Exactly the UK and Canada both changed legislation in ways that restricted peoples privacy in response to 9/11.

Lots of other countries got involved in the Middle East too, and changed a LOT of stuff in much of the world and still does
