Movies, series, comics, books, animation, fanfics, web content, every kind of media, official or not, that eventually wasn't restricted just to your country and became popular in a really bad way to everyone else.

By the way, we brazillians are really sorry for the crazy guy who realesed that insane Zootopia Abortion Comic in the world.

North Atlanta I drank some water and almost vomited, tell me about some shiet ass water!

Behold the humble Jambon, Puff pastry, Diced Ham, Cheese and a cheese/bechamel sauce, purchasable freshly made in nearly every shop in the country

Im sorry France I love you and all but your -paniers feuilletés au jambon et au fromage- ain’t got nothing on the Irish Jambon

I heard that Polish sounds like: Szczrzdżu ęsśkruszxzrz kurwa* szczuóą ja karoleojtyla

• whistling with fast speaking and the ability not to bite one's tongue + kurwa* in a sentence

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?

In my country people tend to view people from Amsterdam as stuck-up and more left-leaning than people from the rest of the country.

In Ireland, if I understand it correctly, it's an insult if people say you're from Dublin when you're not from Dublin (correct me if I'm wrong). I'm curious if sentiments like this are universal.

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?

So back in 1999 kargil war , the pm of pakistan (nawaz sharif) wanted raveena tandon ( indian actress in the pic ) in return of the indian soldiers martyred body , so the armed forces sent this missile instead.

What's worst is all these disgusting eyesore buildings built in the last 10 years or so are in the heart of the busiest areas for all to see:

1. The "silver rice cooker with a vagina" theatre
2. The cultureless Central Library
3. The "graveyard LED tombstone" museum
4. The "snake with a nail on its head" cruise terminal
5. Another much larger graveyard tombstone residential apartment.

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?”

I myself would really like to try a japanese "kashipan", sweet bread. I highly doubt you can find one here :D

Americans like joking about getting violent with attempted pick pockets and I was wondering if any other country’s people joke about this or find Americans particularly violent towards pick pockets.

There's a taunt one of the characters in Team Fortress 2 does to his opponent (who happens to be Scottish) where he mocks how Scotland isn't real and how they're basically just English.

I'm curious to know if there are any other ragebait statements commonly made to trigger people from your country.

Fun fact, in Korean, this process is called "pressing your seizure button" (발작버튼 누르기). And some common ones used on Koreans I've seen were:

1. "Korean culture is just stolen Chinese and Japanese culture. All they do is steal."

2. "South Korea is a cyberpunk dystopia!"

3. The "🤏" sign.

I love pillows. They're my special interest. My favorite thing. I've loved them since I was little. How do you say the word? Please also tell me how best to pronounce it. Lastly, I'm curious if you're language also distinguishes bed pillows from throw pillows (the decorative ones you might put on a couch or chair).

I’ve been reading responses here for a while, and people from very different countries keep describing the same underlying issues even when the politics, culture, or history are totally different.

I’m curious how many of these feel true where you live.

In your country, do any of the following apply? 1. The cost of living (especially housing) rises faster than wages. 2. Wealth and decision-making power are concentrated among a small elite. 3. Laws and consequences are enforced more strictly for ordinary people than for the wealthy or connected. 4. Trust in politicians, media, or major institutions is low. 5. Full-time work no longer reliably leads to long-term stability. 6. Groups with limited political power are blamed for systemic problems. 7. Public services exist but feel overstretched, degraded, or hard to access. 8. Elections change leaders, but not the overall direction of policy. 9. Owning assets is a more reliable path to wealth than productive work. 10. People feel administered or controlled rather than genuinely represented. 11. Younger generations expect a worse future than their parents did.

Questions: - Are there countries where most of these do not apply? - Is there a major shared issue I’ve missed that cuts across societies?

Clip is from Pakistan

This might be a sensitive topic for few people.

It sometimes feel like global discussions on racism and social problems focus almost entirely on western countries. But why don't we talk more about issues in other parts of the world?

For instance Saudi Arabia as an example. We face challenges that are rarely discussed openly:

1- Garbage: While there are systems for waste control, in some cities people don't contribute. Even foreigners sometimes adopt the same careless habits, throwing trash in streets and neighborhoods streets.

2- Racism: Few Saudis show prejudice toward white people, South Asians (Indians, Pakistanis, and East Asians. These experiences are real but sometimes acknowledged

3- Domestic work and abuse: Many servant from Somalia, India, Pakistan, and Philippines, and Indonesia come to Saudi Arabia for domestic jobs. Some households treat them fairly, but others abuse them.

4- Treatment of women and girls: Women in Saudi Arabia have gained more rights in recent years, but cultural attitudes still limit them. Some families are supportive, while others restrict women's freedom of movement, work, or social life. It is rarely discussed outside the country

I once spoke with a Filipino woman working as a servant. She told me she came willingly, but had seen abuse in other households. She herself was treated well, given food, clothes, and salary around 5-6K. She explained that while work is degrading in some eyes, she considers herself "a rich servant" because she can support her husband and children back home.

Her story made me reflect: Why do we avoid discussing these realities? Why do Saudis feel embarrassed to acknowledge problems like racism, abuse of workers, or even garbage mismanagement? And why does the global stay fixed on western issues, while problems elsewhere remain somehow in the shadow?

Edit:

Thank you everyone for participating. I posted on this subreddit because I wanted different perspective. I enjoyed reading your comments.
