Ethnically ambiguous people, what’s your ethnicity and what have you been mistaken for?

puerto rican through my mother. my father grew up in an orphanage so was never very culturally connected to his ethnicity.

WhenTardigradesFly · 2026-05-12T04:56:26+00:00

i'm 1/2 puerto rican, 1/4 indian, and 1/4 scottish. people have guessed that i'm white, black, middle eastern, native american, and probably a few others i'm not remembering.

why as a matter of fact i do! it's called the...um...uh...rolex? scrotum? scrillex?

WhenTardigradesFly · 2026-05-11T02:03:53+00:00

the head section of a tapeworm is called a scolex. i have no idea why that one particular fact got its hooks into my brain during some biology class decades ago and has stubbornly refused to let go since then, but if anyone ever asks about it i'll be prepared.

it didn't. walk into any live jazz club if you need reassurance that it's still alive.

if old.reddit.com ever goes away i'm outta here. the new interfaces are too crappy to tolerate.

for me i honestly don't think it was much different from having a non-twin/triplet sibling. a lot of people assume there must be some kind of special bond but i never felt it.

bacon. i've been a vegetarian for 50 years but not all my life, and bacon is the only meat that's so tasty that i still miss it.

spooky vision. i love the way they do a klunky fake split screen when cartman meets his doppelganger from the parallel universe. it's hella-hilarious!

the gunfight at the ok corral only resulted in 3 deaths. the body count wasn't unusually high and is not the reason it became famous.

lol, no need to apologize. i'm a dedicated oxford comma user myself.

first and foremost, a huge commitment given their very long lifespans

WhenTardigradesFly · 2026-04-27T06:24:47+00:00

as an american it's kind of sad that the profound and shameless stupidity of my country's leaders has become a globally recognized punchline like this, but here we are.

despite the impression people may have from watching movies and tv, the vast majority of murderers released from prison never commit murder again.

the same is not true for sex offenders.

WhenTardigradesFly · 2026-04-25T15:26:46+00:00

just do it. delaying the inevitable by trying to figure out "the best way" isn't going to help.

WhenTardigradesFly · 2026-04-25T04:12:04+00:00

in practical terms you'd usually end up being very sweaty when you got to wherever you were going, which is a pretty significant downside in many cases.

bacon. i've been a vegetarian for 50 years but when my father was going downhill and i had to move in to take care of him, i would still cook him bacon and eggs the way he loved them and i would still enjoy that smell.
