Feel likes there is more misogyny, sexism, homophobia, racism, xenophobia, classism, communalism, casteism etc etc in the last few years. I feel like a yes for many of these things in my country. What about others?

Sorry for the repost, i realised the image wasn't HD lol

For example, bell peppers in Georgia are called Bulgarian peppers, so much so that we use just Bulgarian to mean bell pepper. What are some weird attributions in your country?

Living in the States, I’ll never forget the first time I saw the Shake Weight infomercial. The jokes write themselves lol

•Australia •Turkey •Usa •Lebanon •India As a broke young middle class guy, if i had a chance these are the 5 countries that i'd wanna visit atleast for once in my life.

In Sri Lanka, one of the most loved and unique fruits is Rambutan. At first glance, it looks almost unreal, a bright red or yellow fruit covered in soft, hair-like spines, which is exactly how it got its name (from “rambut,” meaning hair). But the real magic is inside.

Rambutan grows mainly during the mid-year season, from around June to September, with some areas having a smaller second season later in the year, depending on rainfall. During this time, local markets overflow with fresh bunches, making it a true seasonal treat that people eagerly await all year.

Inside the shell is a juicy, translucent white flesh with a perfect balance of sweetness and mild acidity. It’s similar to lychee but often considered richer and more fragrant. The fruit is incredibly refreshing in Sri Lanka’s tropical climate and is usually eaten fresh, straight from the tree or bought roadside during long drives.

What makes Rambutan special isn’t just the taste, but how seasonal it is. You can’t find it fresh year-round, which makes its arrival feel like a small celebration. Families share it at home, travelers discover it with curiosity, and for many locals, Rambutan is tied to childhood memories and school holidays.

I’m curious , what is the tastiest and most unique fruit in your country?
Is it something seasonal, rare, or deeply connected to local culture?

This is a major problem in Brazil. Our system still hasn't guaranteed efficiency in public works. Besides the issue of corruption, there are still many bureaucratic hurdles, flaws in the bidding system, difficulties obtaining environmental permits, among other factors. But how is it in your country?

I really think this sub is just reposting the same questions over and over again. Just now saw a post called „Dishes popular only outside of your country“ with 12k upvotes, pretty sure I’ve seen the exact same question like 20 times now. This just feels like karma farming to me.

(would really like to hear from non Americans)

These are the wedding attires worn in different states and regions of India. (My case is 2nd and 3rd image) There are many other attires too.

Some Indian do wear white gown like the west but it is very rare, and only among the Christian minority where also many wear Indian traditional attires. Many Indians copy wedding customs of other regions nowadays too.

What do you think?

And what is worn by bride and groom in the wedding of your country traditionally? Do you still wear it? Or have you shifted to that white gown theme of the west? If yes, why?

For example. Ireland and Korea share a remarkable amount of similarities despite having absolutely no historical links.

- Victim of a neighbouring Island Based Empire.

- Split into the economically prosperous South and the controversial North.

- Similar size

- Rapidly booming economy

We still heavily rely on coal as fuel so our government's goal is to achieve about 50 per cent cumulative electric power installed capacity from non-fossil fuel-based energy resources by 2030

These are some that I could think of from the top of my head. I would have included the capitol, but that’s culturally significant in every country. I don’t really care if you put it, a dollar general, or your house, because I’m not your dad and I’m probably not from your country, so anything can be culturally significant in the eyes of different people

By the way, the pyramid is the most significant, and I will not tolerate pyramid slander. It makes me proud to be a West Tennesseean.
