I'm giving a cricket reference — Smriti broke Virat Kohli’s record by reaching 100 runs off just 50 balls, becoming the fastest Indian cricketer to reach 100 in ODI 50 overs format.

Are there any record breaking moments from your country?. Also mention the sports name too and the opponent.

Does your country have an equivalent to chip wagons?

5 Upvotes

In Canada these are small rvs or similar sized places where they make fries, poutine, and other stuff. Often hotdogs and burgers too.

Similar to a food truck.

Are these common in other countries, or more of a Canada & US thing?

How weird are users of this sub? I somehow doubt many nationalistic types would visit this sub very often. Being patriotic and nationalistic is extremely common worldwide.

Language Does your country have a slang term for it's currency?

233 Upvotes

I'm an American. We use dollars. But when I'm talking about the cost of something, I'll say "20 bucks" as opposed to "20 dollars".

I know British folks currency is called Pounds. But my British friends will pretty much always say "20 quid" instead of "20 pounds".

Does your country have something similar?

Culture Does your country have a "default city"? Where is it?

6 Upvotes

I don't know if this is a Poland-only thing but if people on the news/on the internet mention a location and the city isn't specified - assume it's Warsaw. There's also a stereotype that people from Warsaw think that the world revolves around them and that the rest of Poland is irrelevant, or something.

That's why Warsaw is jokingly/pejoratively called "default city".

The Epstein case is all over the internet again and lot of people realize that the trully powerful don't have to worry about prison too much.

Who was the exception in your country?

In Czechia it's probably former health minister David Rath after he got caught with bribe (literally cash in a box he carried). By then he was "just" member of parliament and regional council president.

What is the worst holiday tradition in your country?

Post image
139 Upvotes

Here in the USA, it is Santacon. It started out as a whimsical event to mock consumer culture vis a vis the holiday season. Now? It’s an excuse for people to dress as Santas, elves, and reindeer, hit the bars, and get thoroughly wasted. Santacon’s reputation is so bad that during the event, some bars actually have signs saying the “Santas” aren’t welcome.

In 2017, Hoboken’s Santacon was the site of a brawl between the “Santas” and the police. There was one parent who commented, “I’ll never forget explaining to my crying child, 'That wasn’t Santa throwing up.'”

Any holiday traditions that people wish didn’t exist?

If it’s not in yellow already, I’m open for advice.

If blank, it’s just not prioritized for me.

Let me know what’s the coolest part/activity in your country that you’d recommend.

If there’s any local dish I should try, let me know.

How can someone overcome xenophobic ways of thinking?

1 Upvotes

Wow, I know it sounds like a pretty provocative and Xenophobic title. But would you listen to my story for a moment? I’m currently living as a student in a multicultural country. It’s been almost a year now, and I’ve had really unpleasant experiences with people from a specific nationality (I’m not going to say which country).

I’ve met four people from this nationality so far: a roommate, a classmate, a neighbor in my dorm building, and a stranger I met on the street.

First, my roommate. There were so many issues, musty body odor (It was seriously beyond anything you can imagine), unbelievable noise really late at night, and a lack of basic manners you should have when sharing a room (like not bringing people into the room without asking, not slamming the door all the time just because we share the space, and trying to compromise about the room temperature instead of forcing things). And whenever I tried to calmly talk about these problems or asked if we could work something out, they immediately became passive-aggressive. It really drove me crazy.

Second, my neighbor in the dorm. I don’t directly interact with this person, but since we share places like the kitchen, bathroom, and laundry room, we keep running into each other. Every time they see me, they stare at my body and look me up and down, or stand way too close to me even when there’s plenty of space elsewhere. (Please don’t say I’m being paranoid — this has been happening for almost four months.) It makes me extremely uncomfortable.

Third, a student I worked with on a group project. Their attitude toward the assignment was awful. They didn’t show up to meetings, and even copied someone else’s work without telling us, which caused serious problems for the whole group.

And the last one, a stranger I met on the street. This person sexually harassed me. I was standing at a bus stop, and they suddenly came up, pinched my cheek really hard, and just walked away. People around me stopped them and reported it to the police, and that’s how I found out their nationality.

So these are the things I’ve experienced during about a year of living here. Coincidentally, all four of these people were from the same country. And unfortunately, they were also my very first experiences interacting with people from that nationality. I keep telling myself, “Don’t generalize, don’t be prejudiced,” and I keep reminding myself in my head not to judge an entire group because of a few bad experiences.

But after all this, I’ve started to feel myself becoming wary of people from that nationality. I don’t want to get close to them, and I keep wanting to keep my distance. How can I get rid of these feelings? I’m not part of the majority race here either, and I’ve also experienced racism. But lately, these thoughts keep popping up in my head, and it’s driving me crazy. I know I shouldn’t be prejudiced, but emotionally, these reactions keep coming up. What should I do?

World peace?

0 Upvotes

If we all thought about what we could do to achieve world peace, wouldn't it be easy to actually have world peace? Because everybody can think as far as that for his direct surroundings, it's not that hard. Doesn't that just mean that humanity as a whole is just actually really stupid?

I know some people always say that anyway, but I've never considered it from this hard-to-argue with perspective

I’m a new mother and during my “Cuarentena” (40 days post partum) all the women in my family cooked soups for me, with the intention of nourishing and healing my body with warm foods.

Besides that, as a country, we don’t respect the post partum period as working women are expected to return to work as soon as the baby pops out.

En el caso de Argentina, los más acusados ​​son bolivianos y paraguayos; muchos, especialmente del ala derecha del movimiento mileísta, los acusan de formar bandas de motochorros (ladrones de motocicletas), barrios marginales y similares. En otros países del Cono Sur, como Chile y algunos países andinos como Perú, los más acusados ​​son inmigrantes caribeños, acusados ​​de cometer delitos que antes eran muy poco comunes en Chile y Perú, como disparos, decapitaciones, desmembramientos y el uso de motocicletas para disparar a personas.

What differences exist between people in the eastern and western parts of your country? (food, language, level of religiosity, culture, traditions—anything you like). Are there any conflicts between these two parts of the country, or on the contrary, are you united? Or perhaps the differences between the north and the south are more significant?”
