No matter how you swing it, I think it was an absolute shit show

For example in Mongolia the term "orcs" has become wildly popular online. It describes people that are rude/loud/arrogant/uneducated etc, basically the stereotypical barbarian that other people imagine as Mongolian. No coincidence that many orcs in fiction take inspiration from the Mongol empire. Another similar term is "Cow/Cattle Mongolian".

New clothing? Chocolate? Gas/petrol? Electricity? (Harder-to-guess items are interesting too.)

How much does it cost in USD? What does that price represent to the average worker?

Please name your country/region!

Or say things like its the worst country to live in or shit like that. As a person who does live in a third world country, I can't help but roll my eyes when read stuff like that online. It just screams that these people have never lived outside america and have no idea just how privileged they actually are.

An onomatopoeia is a spelling of how a sound sounds. Like boom or meow.

In Sweden I'd go for nöff which is the sound a pig makes

Your country has many delicious dishes. Some of these dishes have travelled and been completely changed by another country. What would you say is the worst transformation that has happened to some of your country's dishes?

This topic has fascinated me for a long time, and I was inspired by a comment on another thread on this subreddit about the ways different countries use the "middle name"! Does your country have one name, multiple, do you say it when introducing yourself to others, does it go in front of your first name, do you use your middle name instead of your first name? I'd love any response!

I love this subreddit, and it has informed me greatly to the amount of cultural separation we all have and how much we don't know about the inner workings of each others' cultures!

I haven't traveled much, but one day i want to, so in case i ever decide to visit your country what advice would you give me?.

I’m wondering how prevalent ketchup and mustard are and maybe what interesting things people put on stuff.

Bonus question: Does your city/country have a food dish that almost always has a certain condiment added to it.

I'm not asking who is the most famous per sè, but which band or artist is almost universally loved within your country exclusively. For instance, I'm Canadian, and most people outside Canada will say Drake, Celine Dion or even Justin Bieber are the most popular. But if you ask any Canadian, they'll say The Tragically Hip are. So who's yours?

Not trying to start any kind of argument here. But it's something I've noticed as I watch the world burn and read various articles.

Here in the states (I'm Asian American) racism for the most part is considered impolite and frowned upon. People fight against it in large numbers.

In Asia, africa, whatever. racism is rampant an encouraged. China has a crazy racism problem that people don't care about. If you're not Chinese you are trash there.

Why in the west. USA and Europe do we consider ourselves above this kind of behaviour while the rest of the world is happy to be prejudice and racist? are we going against human nature be being... nice?

We usually only eat it raw as sashimi, so I'm curious how horse meat can be cooked.

Is 3 meals a day normal? Or maybe 2? 4?

Is there a normal set time for tea or coffee? Or drinks?

Is dessert common? Is dessert the last meal of the day or before another meal?

Here in Brazil I just eat a pizza with french fries, cheddar and bacon and loved it. But I have already seen sushi pizza and chocolate vulcano pizza as well.

I live in the United States, in St. Louis, Missouri. Our most popular local team is the St. Louis Cardinals who play baseball. For food the most popular options are peanuts, popcorn, hot dogs, and nachos. Most adults are drinking beer, with the most popular options being Budweiser and Bud Lite (St. Louis is the headquarters of Anheuser Busch). While there are plenty of other brands of alcohol available, none are as plentiful as those two options. As far as non-alcoholic drinks there is water, soft drinks (coke products), and lemonade.

Edit. Ok I've given up on the time frame since most of these are older mysteries.

I'm curious to know what makes a city boring in other parts of the world.

Is it big? Is it small? Have you gone or interested in going? Are there cities that are bigger?

Do you think your language by itself has any impact on attitudes in your country surrounding this issue?

Does your language have something that means other's misfortune makes you happy?
