Micro cosmology is a problem a majority of Americans live with. If they can't see it from their front porch it don't exist. That played a major factor in the current shitshow preloading in d.c.

One change of clothes for a 2-week trip... now that's a man's man!
Does he carry a Texas sized bottle of French cologne?
I don't want to be his room mate.
I mean, also because he's apparently not aware of the largest mountain range in North America.

Lol, what a country
Orogeny gonna get ya
How does he use IG?
Assuming its not a parody.
You'd be surprised how functional the illiterate can be.
When I first moved to Japan, I had to use lots of websites that used untranslatable images (not text, like png or whatever and google lens was not a thing). I got help a few times and memorized what clicking on an area did more than even what the image was (which would change sometimes). This is how I got by with ATMs and various websites for quite a while. It works until something changes. Today, screen readers, google lens, and other things exist to help as well.
Sounds like just learning to read would be a better use of your time then. I mean if you already speak the language it should be fairly trivial, right?
I literally started with "When I first moved to Japan".
To answer your question, though, learning to read Kanji is not trivial especially when each one can have a number of different pronunciations or appear in compounds where the meaning can be quite different.
Laughs in Kanji
You do realise that in Japan they don't use Roman letters?! Sounds are one thing, a pictorial based writing system quite another! Just as in English, the same sounding word can mean several things, so the same spelt word can mean several things in Asian languages!
Yeah, just look at Trump. Functional illiteracy is a real thing in the US.

Apparently, Chad Caruso set the Guinness world record as the first person to skateboard across America in 2023, from Venice Beach to Virginia Beach. It took him 57 days to cover 3,162 miles, adventure adventure of 55 miles a day.
adventure adventure!
Always need more adventure
The best kind of adventure
how did he skate up and over the Rockies?
He kick flipped real hard
Rob Thomson skated across the US starting in 2006. Also from Switzerland to China.
I have a photo from that trip handing up poster size in my house. A random waterfall panorama.
Which day is he realizing the Rockies exist?
Two weeks, huh? The US is around 3,000 miles from coast to coast, so that puts him over 200 miles skateboarding every single day... I'm not sure, but the person who didn't know mountains exist might be dumb.
Just go faster. I don't get it.
"I'm crouching as hard as I can!”
Paint the skateboard red if you have to.
Add a lightning bolt. Kachow!
