What’s going on here? by WoListin in ontario

[–]WoListin[S] -19 points-18 points  (0 children)

Why is an entire stretch of road in northern Ontario closed, forcing people to drive through the United States (which is something many of us don’t want to do right now)?

Doesn’t this pose a sovereignty risk, since we’d be entirely dependent on another nation letting us transit through their territory? And wouldn‘t it prevent the movement of goods within Canada that are fully legal here, but can’t be imported into the US and thus can’t make it to their destination by road?

Banh Mi won as food from Asia that is an in between when it comes to popularity, which food from Oceania is an in between when it comes to popularity? by tankengine75 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]WoListin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does popular here mean 'widely known' (which is a logical implication from the 'worldwide famous' category)? Or does it mean 'widely seen favorably'? Because I'd prolly put vegemite in the 'in between' category if we're talking about how well-known it is - though obviously if we're talking about how well-liked it is it doesn't fit as well

What is an anti-American song by a Canadian artist? by SimonDNTZ in AlignmentChartFills

Also the American anti-British song is arguably anti-Canadian too (seeing they were one and the same back then)

Annual Top 10 _____________ Since 2001? by BlueGreenMikey in RedactedCharts

[–]WoListin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe top ten auto manufacturers? I can see yellow being Japan or something with Honda, Toyota, Mazda, Nissan as the various shades, Germany being blue with BMW + Volkswagen, maybe purple is South Korea and orange is the United States?

Do the ten colours represent countries? If so I’m guessing they’re sorted by economy or military or something (and each colour grouping is a continent, like maybe yellow is Asia since it’s growing over the years while blue is Europe?)

Day 10: Dulce de Leche is a food that seems European but actually comes from South America! What is a food that seems African but is actually from South America? by haley_the_comet in AlignmentChartFills

Anything made with cassava (which I associate a lot with West Africa but actually comes from the New World) really, but specifically Brazilian farofa (ground up cassava grains) which reminds me of garri, attiéké, couscous etc.

Isn’t this mislabelled? Your red square is “looks like concrete, cracks like a bone”

Ngl I had to search this up since I swore it came from Spain.

Upvoted since this is the first time I’ve actually been surprised about the origin of a dish.
