The Americans have invented very little indeed.
What the Americans have done is pinched other people's inventions and improved
them immensely, to the extent
that they can fool people they invented the things in the first place.
Examples and/or citations, please. 😘
No citations:
Computers
Televisions
Muffins
Some Americans even think they invented English; which was invented by a load
of vulgar northern Frenchmen
attempting to speak Anglo-Saxon and getting it wrong.
Well... Considering the country is only a little over 200 years old, I find
this to be just a little too silly to even believe. 😘
You, obviously, haven't spent time in Carbondale, Illinois.
(do those smiley emojis come through on this list...?)
Those emojis do come through, although they don't look very smiley; they
look more like somebody
with quite a nasty growth on the right side of their face.

Hi,
A quick look-up on Wikipedia:
"Innocenzo Manzetti considered the idea of a telephone as early as 1844, and may
have made one in 1864, as an enhancement to an automaton built by him in 1849."
Why doesn't Italy have 001?
Don't answer that the US invented electricity: it is said that the Babylonians
did this some time earlier.
