China and India have more internet users than the US. Unless you specify, I might assume you're Asian. (most probably they'd speak English too. I'm gonna say because I think you'd be concerned)
ARPANET was developed by neither China nor India.
The country of origin doesn't determine the quantity of people using it.

US is the default on the internet. So unless explicitly mentioned I tend to assume content is geared to a US audience. But I did not know Poland was big in apples. Interesting. I noticed the strong regional variances in Apple availability ever since moving to Canada. I have had a very hard time finding an apple that works well for baking, as Boskoop Apples aren't a thing here.
I think you meant " is the default on the internet. So unless explicitly mentioned I tend to assume content is geared to a US audience." Because you are American and you tend to visit US-centric sites. No shit. I am pretty sure 90% of sites visited by Chinese citizens to be hosted in, and tailored towards China. Also it's not just the Internet being US centric. It's American people being US centric in general, and th…

The US has a larger population than the entirety of western Europe and it's easily the largest western country. I'm not from the US and I'd still consider it the default by sheer size.

I agree with your assessment. I am not US American though. I live in America (Canada specifically) but I was born and raised in Europe. I'm afraid the cynicism in my original comment requires this context to be received. In my opinion it seems to reflect an expectation in culture in general. Most movies filmed in Canada do not actually depict Canada. I lived in Toronto for a while where there are almost as many NYPD…
America just tends to be particularly prolific in producing online content. No, I'm not claiming this as a statistical fact, but I am claiming that's the impression day in an day out so might as well assume as much...

Long live honeycrisp!
Everyone who is taking this too seriously and disagreeing with the rankings is missing the fact that this is some absolutely hilarious comedy. Look at the review for the arkansas black apple, it's hilarious. > This teeth-shattering oddity, boasting a deep red hue that’ll make a dark cherry look like a fluorescent glow stick, will destroy your helpless mouth with every unfortunate bite. A ten out of ten on the Mohs Ha…
This is very US-Centric. Poland is the 3rd most apple producing country in the world (behind US and China) [1]. It has probably the highest apple per capita count and I cannot even find basic varieties that Poland offers in this search engine - Ligol, Antonówka (Antonovka) [2][3].

Finally! An objective ranking of apples. I for one am fed up with apples-to-oranges comparisons.
The Newtown Pippin: > This sand-filled condom from Long Island was choked down in the 1750s by the likes of Thomas Jefferson at Monticello, George Washington at Mount Vernon, and Benjamin Franklin as he declared it his favorite apple. Perhaps the Newtown Pippin was once a great apple whose quality has degraded over the centuries like the crumbling democracy the Founding Fathers established. Or perhaps, after decades…
