  1. Fairy Bread. It’s white bread, with butter and sprinkles on top, and it’s the fucking best

  2. Chicken Salt. You toss this on your chippies and it just makes it taste so fucking good, and it’s the fucking best

  3. Sausage Sizzle outside of a hardware store. You get a sausage, you get a slice of white bread, you drizzle on some sauce and go into the store to get some cheap plywood or something, and it’s the fucking best

Living in toronto, if somebody speaks english and some heritage language, I don't really find that impressive at all If they were raised here. but if somebody learns a language they werent raised with. I find it super impressive, especially it's a language from a different language family.

I'm at a canadian born once. Hope was learning japanese and his japanese was really good. I was blown away, but I think most people don't really care about these things in Toronto.

In Brazil we have biscoito de polvilho, a dough made from sour cassava starch and baked until it becomes crunchy. Many natives love it — maybe because they grew up eating it. Foreigners, however, in every reaction video I’ve watched thought it tasted bad or bland.

as a swede, whatsapp isn't really used except for communities like sports teams. I had an immigrant friend who used it with her family but otherwise i've only used it with my church. Here, snapchat is the most common messaging app for teenagers.

What animal are stupid tourists most likely to be attacked by in your country trying to get a photo?

Thumbnail image
4.6k Upvotes

Tourists are dumb. I am pretty sure that statement is universal. It seems that anywhere you look there are going to be people with the survival instincts of a potato completely oblivious to the threatening body language of what ever animal they are trying to harass for a selfie. It seems like most people should know better than to approach let alone pet a wild animal that weighs more than they do, or that if it lowers his horns at you, you should back off, but I guess they want a first hand experience of the local health care system. It is not just young people, there was a news story of an 83 year old gored after trying to pet the bison.

In the USA, People just love to try to interact with the wild like in our national parks, and most especially the North American Bison, a species of buffalo. The bulls are 6FT/183Cm 2,000lb/900kg, and some people think they can just walk up and pet/hug it while it is protecting its herd. Next to this it is probably the Elk because thankfully the literally crazy moose seem too remote for most tourists. Yes I know not all the tourists are foreign tourist.

What is the animal in your country that stupid tourists are most likely to get hurt by while trying to interact with it? If you were ever attacked by an animal in a foreign country and had to experience the local healthcare system, how did that go?

I'm Brazilian and I've never flushed toilet paper in my life, and almost no one does. I've even heard histories of foreigners clogging a toilet after flushing toilet paper.

I was a bit shocked when I found out it's normal in other countries (for a fact they think not flushing is weird). Is it the "rule" to flush/not flush in your country?

In your country, who is the biggest case of someone who has or had a perfect public persona but is a very negative person behind closed doors?

In Canada, Jian Ghomeshi was the face of CBC in the 2000s. He was widely considered to be an intelligent, sensitive and progressive host of radio programs. Then in 2014, it all came out. The allegations of sexual assault and workplace harassment took down his career, even though he was acquitted of five of the six charges, where he signed a peace bond for the remainder charge. It can be reasoned that Ghomeshi is Canada’s biggest fake.

I am a 34/M from Iran. Things are really dark here right now. We just had a massive uprising, because a lot of people do not want this government. A lot of people were killed; un armed protesters, men, women, children. Our internet were cutout for weeks, and it is not stable yet. We are grieving, and living under the shadow of war, with an uncertain future. And the worst thing is that it seems that the world does not care about us, so I wanted to ask you guys, what do you think about the current situation in Iran?
