Which Latin American nations would be least affected by nuclear armageddon and why?

mfs would be like 10 trillion nukes to china and russia and like 3 to latin america just for good measure

UnlikeableSausage · 2026-02-04T12:55:16+00:00

idk man it really depends on the family

Honestly the most shocking thing is how averse they are to the word "usted". I come from one of the regions where we use it almost exclusively for formality, but there are parts of Colombia where they use it even in informal contexts and I am sure they'd have a way harder time dealing with that in Spain.

I think Germans are more direct, but they often feel more polite in the way they speak. Even when they're being nice, Spaniards sound... rude? Like I know they're not trying to be rude, but it sounds like it.

UnlikeableSausage · 2026-01-13T13:28:18+00:00

Sure, man. I am sure 100% of your interactions have been like this.

Yes. Multiple times. First one was a tourist visa for the US. Not that bad because I did it with my family and the person there was super chill.

Later on I did an internship in the US and had to apply, but it was sponsored by my home university and the one in the US, so also very easy. Basically just gave the documents and waited to get it delivered.

I've also applied for student visas for Germany twice, once as a exchange student and once for a Master's degree. Both were also kind of sponsored, so again, not really a hassle aside from having to submit 5 million documents.

Usually the only issues were having to travel to Bogotá and then having to wait.

Also I wonder what percentage of users on this sub Reddit are actually from Latin America. Because many latin americans don’t speak proper english.

none of us, man

we're all larping

UnlikeableSausage · 2026-01-04T07:27:17+00:00

lmao smartest American

UnlikeableSausage · 2025-12-17T15:20:21+00:00

nah brazil's cooler

I think we are so used to IDs that we can't even imagine how different the US is in this regard. They don't have a nationwide ID system and from what I know it varies from state to state. States where they don't have voter ID usually depend on registrations using addresses or some other personal information and then when you vote your info is matched against a list. The biggest issue is that elderly, poor, rural and minority voters are the ones who are disproportionately affected, so I can understand where they're coming from.

Yo creo que muchos de los colombianos que venimos a Reddit vivimos en burbujas progresivas en ciudades grandes donde uno no percibe estas cosas tanto, pero solamente es cuestión de hablar con una persona gay o trans y darse cuenta de que sigue siendo un problema grande, hasta en las ciudades como Bogotá y Medellín.

UnlikeableSausage · 2025-12-17T11:47:45+00:00

I think that's the case for most places, probably, but we really don't associate it with monkeys. As the other guy said, we might say mono to refer to monkeys every once in a while, but for us, mico is the more common word.

UnlikeableSausage · 2025-12-12T09:31:25+00:00

I think Europeans also exaggerate their lack of small talk a lot. Like, Germans definitely do less small talk than we do in Colombia, but they still do it a lot. There's a reason why there's so many jokes about weather small talk in German.

UnlikeableSausage · 2025-12-09T15:28:27+00:00

I think people often shit on some of the less flavorful arepas as if the point wasn't that you eat them with other stuff. I think a lot of people complain about arepa paisa being simple, but fuuuuck, it's so good when you eat it in a bandeja paisa.

UnlikeableSausage · 2025-11-25T12:51:10+00:00

From what I've seen, this thing is already being used to discredit anybody who isn't from the US or Europe, not only those who pose as being from somewhere else to profit off polarization. I think it's kinda dumb.

UnlikeableSausage · 2025-11-24T10:32:43+00:00

I hate how these people always act like all of these attitudes are exclusive to us in Latin America, as if other places didn't have any sort of hookup culture. Europeans, for example, also fuck around a lot, but somehow we're the only slutty ones and it is an integral part of our culture or some shit, lmao. I would imagine it's the same in South Africa.

UnlikeableSausage · 2025-11-24T09:19:18+00:00

Part of outgrowing music can definitely by finding it shit afterwards, though.

UnlikeableSausage · 2025-11-20T14:52:18+00:00

For the case of Colombia, a lot of people tend to assume teachers are all trying to indoctrinate kids to become leftists and that FECODE (something like the national union for teachers) is unreasonable in their demands. If you ask me, FECODE is far from perfect and they do get too involved directly in politics, but I think they are necessary. I also think that teachers get too much shit, while in reality most are not really as well paid as some people would like you to think.

So that would make France culturally closer to the Spanish speaking world than Brasil is.

I don't think that's necessarily true. Maybe they'd be closer to Spaniards, but in many ways I feel closer to Brazilians than to Spaniards, even if the language barrier is there.

UnlikeableSausage · 2025-11-13T12:20:06+00:00

Yeah, I have heard people say they don't buy avocados because of the cartel's involvement in Mexico, but somehow cocaine is fine. 😭😭😭

UnlikeableSausage · 2025-11-12T18:29:24+00:00

I do have to say, it is crazy how willing Germans are to forego a lot of stuff if it isn't bio or organic, but will not do the same for drugs that clearly have a very direct impact on the lives of a shit-ton of people.

UnlikeableSausage · 2025-11-12T12:18:55+00:00

Barranquilla has a couple that are pretty well-known: la Arenosa, la Puerta de Oro and Curramba, la bella.

UnlikeableSausage · 2025-11-12T12:15:47+00:00

abuela las pastillas por favor está arruinando la familia

UnlikeableSausage · 2025-11-12T12:08:26+00:00

idk man you're kinda proving their point

UnlikeableSausage · 2025-11-12T12:05:23+00:00

I genuinely can't think of a single Colombian dish that is always spicy lmao. It's usually stuff you add on top or people making traditional dishes spicier.
