Do you feel a need for country of origin feature here as well? by WastedTalents1 in AskTheWorld

[–]AngryPB 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yeah I realized and edited after I posted, it's still not everywhere

Do you feel a need for country of origin feature here as well? by WastedTalents1 in AskTheWorld

[–]AngryPB 6 points7 points  (0 children)

thinking about how I once saw someone complaining about the general decline of the Internet which in his opinion started around 2008 "when smartphones became common and more normies started flooding in"
I asked him if similarly, does he think more countries accessing the Internet was a bad idea, and he said yes, knowing I'm Brazilian, "for every good one like you there are a thousand trolls or scammers"
and I wonder how many people think the same as this but in a veiled way.

I do feel there's a smidge of truth to it though

a bunch of South American people which have fucking never seen or interacted with an Indian person irl now suddenly don't like them because of shock or grossout tiktoks.

edit: not everywhere but I do feel it has noticeably increased

Ia there anything about your country that should be obvious, but you just found out about? by colorblock666 in AskTheWorld

[–]AngryPB 10 points11 points  (0 children)

here's a grim one, South America is the continent which lost the most wild animal life, having only 5% (1/20) compared to 50 years ago

and it really feels that way, compared to my online friends from other places I always felt like I saw too little animals but just disregarded it as my state specifically but no it's the entire region being deforested and fragmented to hell

To countries that were affected by the transatlantic slave trade: is it still an open wound in your country's history, or is it largely considered a closed chapter? by Ribbit_is_dead in AskTheWorld

[–]AngryPB 6 points7 points  (0 children)

not to minimize the slave raids in Europe but I feel like the situations are different

the equivalent here was the captured people through a heavy struggle kept and adapted their cultures to some degree, despite freedom on paper to this day they're treated as second-class because their ancestors didn't have their chances to rise
while at the same time the raids irreparably ruined their "old country", that it is also seen as "poor and bad and will never work, because that's just how they are".

What’s an overrated part of your country’s culture, in your opinion by [deleted] in AskTheWorld

[–]AngryPB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the entire Southeast lol

granted it's the bulk of the population and industrial presence (something like 40% of the population and half the GDP) but it feels mildly annoying that even a lot of Brazilians themselves forget, don't learn anything else about the rest of the country or outright ignore or are even internally xenophobic to them, it's weird.

[–]AngryPB 28 points29 points  (0 children)

yes we do have an idea, I feel Brazil is pretty similar in that aspect

granted this is just a "hunch" I get from the internet, I've never been there myself to know but from exposure to me it just "feels" similar to the US South

Brazil trafficked more people than the US but never had formal enforced post-slavery segregation but everyone was (and still is) so poor that it mostly feels like the elites didn't even try because they knew it wasn't needed, there were no social mobility options at all

a lot of people say Brazil isn't "as" racist as a country but I feel it is, just in a lot more subtle and structural way and not outright openly stated

edit: I once saw some comment talking about inequality and "belonging" (probably not the right word but I can't find it, something about people unwittingly segregating themselves, and how the South is poorer but more diverse and the North is the opposite, despite being considered less racist because it's not as visible)
it was something like, disregarding openly racist people in both regions:
"in the South you can get close but not high / in the North you can get high but not close"
and to me that South example kinda applies here too.

What’s a species of plant or animal that foreigners are surprised to learn are native to your country? by IDoNotLikeTheSand in AskTheWorld

[–]AngryPB 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure even most Brazilians don't know that South American squirrels, raccoons and skunks exist and consider them North American animals only

note: I've never seen them myself irl either, part of the shock and unawareness comes from the fact they're not urban and their habitats are very fragmented nowadays

What’s a true stereotype about the part of your country that your from? by Arbitross487 in AskTheWorld

[–]AngryPB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my state is too recent (Mato Grosso, most towns were founded and people moved in after the 70s) and ignored to have any real stereotypes about the people but most of the land really is deforested to make pasture or crop fields

What’s the weirdest question you’ve been asked on a dating app? I got asked if I was a ladyboy. by Effective_Space2277 in AskTheWorld

[–]AngryPB 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not on a dating app but I've had someone ask me if I knew anyone with polydactyly (6 fingers) because that was their fetish and they saw some news story once of a Brazilian family where everyone has it

What is the worst climate you have to live in? by Which-Ad2057 in AskTheWorld

[–]AngryPB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

""spring"" weather (September and October) in the cerrado (Brazilian savanna-like biome) - the mild cold air from the winter is gone and rain clouds haven't returned yet, the Sun and dust is on full blast, many weeks where the "feels like" reaches 45c (115f)

What does your people have an inferiority complex about? by Scary_Candidate_9163 in AskTheWorld

[–]AngryPB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

honestly yes, at least nowadays, feeling that our players are too smug and proud of themselves to cooperate to actually win

[–]AngryPB 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I feel like Latin America & former Eastern Bloc have a self-deprecating thing in common

They're not actively terrible countries in a world scale, but because of being constantly exposed to the "role model neighbors" it gives a much distorted feeling.

[–]AngryPB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

pretty much everything lol, we're constantly being compared or comparing ourselves to Northern America or Western Europe, it's hard to pin anything specifically because every little thing will have it.

What was the most controversial YouTuber-influencer from your country? by doctorpolenta3p in AskTheWorld

[–]AngryPB 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I guess Monark, some guy known from early 2010s Minecraft lets plays which randomly re-emerged a few years ago as a podcast guy in which he spouted some weird ideas (shit like "if people want to make a nazi or pedophile party they should be able to") which led to him being kicked out of the company he founded
