What I want to know is it illegal if you travel to another country and break a law that would be illegal in your country but isn't a law where you're traveling.

In Canada legal drinking age is 19 in the states its 21. So is it illegal if a 19 year old american is drinking in Canada.

No, you only need to abide by the laws of your locality. Just like within your own country in different states or counties. I can't buy alcohol on Sunday morning in my town, but I can if I drive to the next town over.

I heard that in some southern USA state (i think its south carolina) its illegal for unmarried woman to go sky diving on sundays. No joke. Im gonna look that up and be back with a source.

Edit: turns out it was in florida but it doesnt exist anymore https://www.thelawplace.com/blog/weird-florida-laws/

OK but let's say its a horrible crime like murder. Let's say elon musk creates a dumb fucking nation in the middle of the sea. Imagine he builds a floating poonton with a flag and a dell computer in the corner dangerously close to the edge and declares murder is legal. So some guy drives their tesla out there, murders a bunch of other idiots and drives back. Is the country just letting them back in?

Tesla makes boats?

Though especially in states with abortion bans, people are working to challenge this.

I saw warnings in Singapore that it was illegal for their citizens to do drugs, even when in a foreign country. I'm not sure if/how they actually enforce that though

Failing a drug test gets you prison time and they randomly drug test people in airports.

Many years ago, I seem to remember that failing a drug test in South Dakota could get you 180 days in prison but that no longer seems to be the case and I can't find a source saying if that really was on the books or not. Some states still do criminalize cheating on drug tests though.
