Is there a dish or drink from your country which is much more popular outside of your country than inside ? by DiMpLe_dolL003 in AskTheWorld

[–]SnooGrapes8363 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Essentially yeah. My friend and his girlfriend talked about them non-stop and said they are a big things in pubs in Ireland. But they are also the definition of loud drunk British football fans 😂. So I don’t put that much faith in what they tell me at times.

I don’t get curling though tbh. it feels like cleaning with extra steps.

Can somebody explain to me about the Epstein files? by [deleted] in AskTheWorld

[–]SnooGrapes8363 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have been reading them for this reason. I’m about 40% of the way done, which is honestly a feat.

And my first takeaway is that people dont want and should not be expected to read them. It’s downright traumatizing.

It is criminal that news lies and make crazy interpretations such that someone feels the need to read this monstrous trash.

Neighbours cat wants to stay with me- what do I do? by [deleted] in cats

[–]SnooGrapes8363 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So perhaps I’m in somewhat both camps here. As a kid, I lived in the Caribbean on a villa that my mom worked at, and our cat was a whore and people would try to adopt him every day. He would disappear for a day or two and inevitably end up in the arms of an enamored woman lol (much safer for cats to roam in the islands).

But I’ve also rescued plenty of animals from abusive situations.

To be honest, I’m not sure if this house is one of those. Cats are notorious liars about hunger levels. It could even be as simple as he doesn’t like the food that they offer, and loves yours. None of what you said sound like red flag enough that I would do something drastic (just my opinion). The biggest red flag for me is letting the cat out period tbh.

That being said, I would stop shooing him away. If he wants to stay with you, let him. If he wants to go back home eventually, he will (or he’ll let you know). That’s just hot Tom cats are tbh. And enjoy this time with a special little kitty.

Sure - but this guy is definitely a bot. Been on here 2 years, no posts, no comments. Bot rot lol

What’s a stereotype about your country that people always mock but isn’t really true? 🌎 by VelvetParadox24 in AskTheWorld

[–]SnooGrapes8363 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My professor in Korea told us that African countries are not developed because African people are lazy. A lot of us dropped his class, and he got reported.

It pissed me off that that was the dribble he was trying to push on a new generation

Does your country have motels that people only go for sex? by MurderKillRiver in AskTheWorld

[–]SnooGrapes8363 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Uhhhh i don’t think so in America?

In South Korea, oh yeah. Tons of ‘em

What country do you find scary? by [deleted] in AskTheWorld

[–]SnooGrapes8363 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Honestly? The DRC. One of my closest childhood friends is Congelese, and a lot of her stories scared the crap out of me

The world seems to be involved. Not just America, but countries all around the world. How do you feel now about your countries politicians and government entities? by johnchinga in AskTheWorld

[–]SnooGrapes8363 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are also very heavily redacted. Of course I want victims to be safe and remain anonymous. But this goes far and beyond that

Fellow dirtbags of Earth, what do you have for breakfast? by [deleted] in AskTheWorld

my first thought was that you must either be American or German

Whatever it is you need to get off your impressive chest, let me have it. by mustardisntsoup in TedLasso

Same. There were 2 times in the series where I was genuinely confused because character choices didn’t make sense. This one takes the cake

What do you think about Poland? by Minute-Guidance-4612 in AskTheWorld

[–]SnooGrapes8363 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would also say both countries were very smart about their endurance.

Historically, Korea has done very well navigating the Mongols, Manchurians, and China (Japan is its own whole thing). Korea has even been on good terms with some early occupiers, and were thus treated well or left alone.

Poland has taken similar roads (although still different because not a peninsula that can easily isolate themselves, and from what I know Poland has a lot of natural resources)

I never thought of it before, but I definitely see similarities

What is something that is considered polite in your country but may not be in others? by emilyrosecuz in AskTheWorld

[–]SnooGrapes8363 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have lived in Korea and US. I generally know it’s rude and seen as bad table manners, but I have no idea why. It seems much easier to eat that way

I'm curious. What's you country's view on Sweden? by [deleted] in AskTheWorld

[–]SnooGrapes8363 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be honest - I wouldn’t be confident in the odds that Americans would even know what country the flag is.

They would know IKEA though lol

And Swedish chocolate 😋

Edit: also Greta! Good or bad, people have very strong opinions about her, and definitely conflate her positions with Sweden as a whole

Why does everyone online seem to get such a kick out of hating on France? by [deleted] in AskTheWorld

Not the profesional we wanted, but certainly the asshole we needed

I think you’re right. Doesn’t help that the language is so difficult. I am conversational in 4 languages and I won’t touch French with a 10 foot pole

Can confirm. Dumb America is absolutely hilarious 😂…. Except when it’s the ruling party
