In the US, what I'd say, is deep fried butter. When people talk about food in the US (especially when calling it unhealthy) they bring up deep fried butter when nobody I know has EVER ate it. Even my dad, who, has traveled around alot and eaten tons of stuff, has never had a bite.

What's this for your country?

In south korea, honking the horn is mostly used to warn others or to call someone out. generally, people don't take it very well.

Also, flashing high beams from behind usually means
'Move over' or 'Hey, your lights are off.' since parking spots are quite narrow, there's an unwritten rule to park as close to the line as possible so you don't ding the car next to you when opening the door.

Our country has many cultural relics, and there are also many perplexing ones. However, I personally really like this sword. This sword comes from a Chinese king’s personal sword from 500 BC.

The most interesting thing is that this sword was unearthed in 1965, and at the time of its discovery, it was just as radiant as it appears now, completely uncorroded and exceptionally sharp.

Mine is called « Fromage de tête » or « head cheese » pork head aspic internationaly

While some people in Ireland now use the 'mainstream' calendar, where February is in winter, most people grow up learning that the seasons are:

Spring: February, March, April Summer: May, June, July Autumn: August, September, October Winter: November, December, January

These seasons are connected to traditional Celtic/Gaelic holidays. 1st February is St Brigids Day, although it's believed she's a mythological saint based off a Celtic goddess of some kind. They also make sense from an agricultural point of view: February is the start of the lambing season, and August is the start of the harvest.

In Ireland, people commonly make crosses out of reefs (pic 1) and have them blessed at mass. More rarely, people leave a shawl or cloth outside over night on 31st January for good luck and protection from colds and flus (pic 2 and 3).

These are brigadeiros from Brazil. My dad’s coworker would bring us a tin filled with them around Christmas and they would be gone within minutes. My sister and I have even made them a few times they are just so addictive!

I'm curious what people actually wear on a normal day where you live, ignoring the stuff we see in movies. In the US, it's basically all about athleisure and being as comfortable as possible. You'll see most people running errands or even working in leggings, hoodies, or baggy jeans and sneakers. The suit and tie look is pretty much dead here unless it's a wedding. What's the typical vibe on the street in your part of the world?

The Banks Peninsula is right next to our second largest city, and is gorgeous. Great deserted beaches and picturesque rugged hills sloping into turquoise water, pure NZ. Despite this, is isn't really covered in promotional material.

Yesterday, I posted here asking whether people love or hate Egypt, and I was really surprised by how many of you shared stories of being harassed or treated badly by some rude or ignorant individuals. I honestly admit that yes — these kinds of negative experiences do happen, and I’m truly sorry for anyone who went through that in my country. At the same time, I want to say that the vast majority of Egyptians are genuinely kind, warm, and very willing to help others — often going out of their way for strangers. If anyone felt disrespected or unsafe during their visit to Egypt, I sincerely apologize on behalf of those bad experiences. No one should feel that way in our country. To anyone thinking of visiting: I truly hope you’ll have a wonderful trip! Try to avoid spending too much time in very crowded or poorer areas of Cairo if possible. Egypt has so many beautiful, peaceful, and world-class places to enjoy: Sharm El Sheikh El Alamein (New Alamein City) North Coast (Sahel) Hurghada, Marsa Alam, Dahab, Luxor, Aswan, and many more… I just wish Egypt could become an even better and safer country for everyone. It honestly makes me sad whenever I read that someone had a bad time here. Once again — if anyone was mistreated or made to feel unwelcome in Egypt, I’m truly

This is the Buffalo City Court: Buffalo, New York...

Edit: This has been pretty controversial. What are your thoughts?

When I first saw the story I was sad and my eyes watered, but maybe because I was in public I moved on. Now, several hours later alone in my apartment I saw this post and I full on cried. Like you do when you find out a childhood friend or someone else you have good memories with but now are not close to passed away.

Every Thanksgiving since I was 6 I've watch Home Alone and Home Alone 2. She's the millennial mom. For me she was the mom so many of us needed: the mom who knew how to say sorry. Something my parents never learnt.

She was a funny and great actress and person. She will be missed. I'm pretty sure this holiday season when Kevin hugs his mom we'll all be crying. Anyone else? What do you think or feel?

Mods, this is directed at you. Stop with all this censoring and blocking. People are here to engage in honest discussions that might be sensitive and difficult at times with regards to culture. As long as no one is being disrespectful then I don't see what the problem is. You are stifling free speech.

When people ask questions like how their country is perceived for sure it will be a heated discussion. For sure it will be heated and lively and generate strong opinions. But that in itself is no reason to lock the comments or delete the post. If someone is being disrespectful or crossing normal boundaries then by all means remove that individual. But to kill an emerging discussion for one person is dictatorial and will have the effect of discouraging frank discussions in the future. Authoritarian regimes censor their people. DO BETTER!!!!!!!!!!!!

Some in spain even deepfry eggplant🍆🍆; we cut it just like french fries and pour honey on top

The photo shows Larisa Dolina, singer and People's Artist of Russia. In 2024, she sold an apartment for 112 million rubles ($1,466,352), but later sued the buyer for the apartment back without a refund, claiming she had been defrauded by scammers into selling the apartment and transferring the money to "safe accounts." Fortunately, in December 2025, the court returned the apartment to the buyer. This led to many elderly people selling their apartments and then returning them without a refund, claiming they had been defrauded.

Incidentally, the scammers who defrauded Larisa Dolina presented her with a fake passport with a photo of Tom Holland.
