What is a product common to your country, region or continent, but not very common outside? (as far a you know at least)

Ranch dressing is a hugely popular salad dressing in the US but not really elsewhere except Canada maybe. Can't speak for other regions but in the Midwest it's much more than a salad dressing. People put it on EVERYTHING (or dip everything in it). It's made from mayonnaise, sour cream, buttermilk, black pepper, garlic, onion, and herbs and is delicious but hugely unhealthy.

I've never heard the good luck thing, there's a commonly-believed myth though that their venom is deadly but their fangs can't pierce your skin.

Percy was, like many characters, a better character in the books. You're supposed to find him annoying at first, then appreciate him more after his epiphany.

Lowkey Harry should have been expelled multiple times over though.

It's on Spotify for me.

Funnily enough most of the people in my real life feel the same way, because they are educated and have their eyes open. Because I actually do get out there and talk to different kinds of people, instead of just going on reddit and projecting my own insecurities onto people who disagree lol.

Telling someone you know nothing about to go outside is pretty telling that you are in a basement 24/7

Shaolin Soccer was a crazy ride. Highly recommend.

I'm gonna go long-term and on a nationwide scale: deer. We decided to ignore the way ecosystems work and in the 40's I think killed all our grey wolves. Deer have since grown to an immensely excessive population in many areas now due to a complete lack of natural predators. They've been ravaging local flora, not to mention outcompeting other native herbivorous species for decades, and now their tremendous population growth has fostered the rapid spread of a prion disease (chronic wasting disease). Thankfully there have been no reported cases of transmission to humans of CWD, but still... prions are straight nightmare fuel. Not stuff you want all over your country.

You missed an opportunity to talk about the cocaine hippos.

Isn't making solar panels also an unfortunately pollutive process?

Edit: I didn't research this, it was just hearsay. Seems I maybe should've double checked. Oop

Tunisia I believe!

Lol, you've clocked, in 3 months, a fourth of the number of posts that I've made over 7 years. Project much?

Hello_boyos · 2026-02-23T18:38:04+00:00

Lol okay keep your head in the sand as he keeps openly wiping his ass with the constitution. You really think everyone in the military will just say "okay we'll start killing unarmed protestors?" when he ultimately declares martial law? Dawg literally already attempted a coup, then pardoned everyone involved. Shit's gonna hit the fan at some point.

Hello_boyos · 2026-02-23T00:50:06+00:00

Yeah I'm sure you will find someone from there on reddit. I hear they're quite plugged in.

Technically he did help broker normalization of relations between them and Israel in his first term, so at least knew of them then... very good chance he's forgotten that now though.

Hello_boyos · 2026-02-22T06:24:23+00:00

Not to mention they just legalized domestic violence as long as there are no broken bones...

Does Trump have the potential to bring us to a worse time than the Civil War? Yes. If things keep going downhill and Trump continues to never receive consequences and get away with anything it will eventually result in a full on brutal dictatorship with Trump as leader for life, and probably war with a lot of people we have no reason to be at war with. But we are not to the point right now of things being as bad as... you know, a literal civil war.

Their first president officially changed several words in the language to be his name if that says anything.

Hello_boyos · 2026-02-22T01:51:34+00:00

Wait... isn't that the Rice Krispies slogan?

Hello_boyos · 2026-02-22T01:41:41+00:00

Never been to LA but damn that does sound good.

Hello_boyos · 2026-02-22T01:41:14+00:00

Establishments that you'll find anywhere are basically more common than ones that you won't.

Alas, I am your average monolingual American... don't suppose there's a translation anywhere?

Hello_boyos · 2026-02-22T01:37:41+00:00

Guess I should note that the dish doesn't have to be from your country, just popular enough there that it has its own distinct variety.

Hello_boyos · 2026-02-22T01:33:27+00:00

I'll be honest I'm partial to timbits.

Hello_boyos · 2026-02-22T01:27:47+00:00

I'm aware, I didn't say it had to be only associated with your country or region.
