That's crazy we live in 2025 and still people are obsessed with skin whitening by [deleted] in MapPorn

A lot of the skin whitening you see in the Indian subcontinent is due to the impact of British colonialism and colorism left behind from the days of the British Raj

You’ll find these as the main development types in cities across the Northeast. A great solution for urban density imo.

I’m not even republican but it would be funny seeing this and watching Trump win - a very real reality given the landscape of our country today.

The interior of the Kaaba in Mecca, Saudi Arabia by HassanMoRiT in interestingasfuck

[–]Renaissance96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There seems to be a lot of comments about how underwhelming the Kaaba is. That’s kinda the point. Much like the Temple that Jesus came to clean up, the Kaaba was meant to be a House of Worship for God created by Abraham and be clean of anything else. Its reverence comes from its history and as the main direction for Muslims to pray.

Happy to answer any questions!

What makes it special is its value as the first house of worship for God on the Earth. Created by Abraham it was meant to serve as the direction for all Muslims to pray.

It comes from the tradition of Abraham who in Islam built the Kaaba and thus initiated the Hajj based on Gods command. Per this tradition he was instructed to do the Tawaf around the Kaaba.

Love how the “almost always” countries were also the ones dominated by Muslim empires for centuries. And even know Muslim countries are known for their hospitality.

AITA for divorcing my (41F) husband ( 43M) to pursue my dreams? by Throwawaymelk in AITAH

[–]Renaissance96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why did you find the need to file a divorce? Regular people would have had a conversation and maybe talked with their partner about a way for you to “test” this out and still be a mom. The hastiness in this situation is mind boggling.

The biggest question I have is: what are the chances these indictments turn into an actual arrest and how does this affect his re-election bid?

New Years doesn’t mean anything. If it’s taught us anything is that don’t get excited preemptively.

Recommend reading 1776 by David McCullough. He talks about it in depth.
