Are third and second world country inhabitants frequenting this subreddit? I doubt it.

What are you talking about? There's tons of Americans in this sub.

That's my point. A shower thought that assumes you live in a first world country is just playing to the demographic of the sub, so it's kinda strange to bring up the fact that second and third world countries might not have stop lights

My only point was that America is not a first world country.

By whose definition? Every resource I've ever seen lists America as a first world country and it's pretty clear looking at the world as a whole that it's an accurate statement.

Because the Internet is devoid of Indians. Oh wait, it isn't.

All I'm saying is that it's not unusual to assume that readers of this subreddit are exposed to stoplights on a regular basis. India has stoplights too. I didn't actually know what a second world country was when I made my original reply, so sorry if I assumed too much.

Edit: also, i never said the internet was devoid of Indians. don't misrepresent my argument please.

There's probably like twenty in the whole country, and literally nobody follows them

You continue to miss my point. At this point I think you're doing it intentionally.
