Pretty wild! All states give you at least 30 days to dump your baby, no strings attached. Some states give you 60 days!
I feel like more people should know about this! It seems like a highly under utilized ability.

Around 1½ billion people in the world know English, less than ¼ of them live in the US.
I’d bet about 10% of them live in India alone! It’s been my experience that when people think about the global populace as a whole they don’t give India nearly as much weight as it warrants XD
Don’t do numbers at me, if a quarter of the roulette wheel says USA we both know where you’re putting your money.
Again, nobody said it was clean thinking or appropriate to pre-judge, only that you can easily see how the mistake gets made without ever calling it chauvinism.
This is the point where I strongly disagree with you, constantly mistaking less than ¼ for being the most likely is not easily made, there’s a good reason for why the expression US Defaultism exists, because a particular mindset is required for such a mistake to be easily made.
~25% is a lot when you’re talking about demographics that large. The US has more English speakers than the next two countries combined. If you’re looking at native English speakers, it’s about 63%.
But that’s not the point, the point is that more than 3 out of 4 people able to read this post don’t live in the US.
That’s exactly why though. The likeliest guesses are either “the US” or “somewhere else”. Specificity is always a more compelling heuristic.
