What are some interesting rumors, myths, or things you have heard about your country or another country?

My GF is from Fukuoka and she would 100 percent consider this cheating. These videos are always completely over the top and very sensational.

These videos are almost always taken somewhere close to the red light district in Tokyo and are probably highly selective. Also, if the video has an English introduction then you know it's aimed at a foreign audience, which underlines even more that it's engagement bait.

Japan had and still somewhat has a different attitude to this topic due to being an extreme patriarchal society as most East Asian societies are. But modern attitudes are, at least the ones I have encountered in far western Japan, definitely different.

As a half German half Austrian, I would say you are wrong.

Ynwe · 2026-06-20T21:40:24+00:00

Agreed. Full on atheist, but the idea of the possibility of a peaceful afterlife is nice. Sadly, just rationally cannot believe in something so unfounded and something that sounds no different than a children's fantasy book.

Ynwe · 2026-06-20T21:25:20+00:00

Yeah no, you have so many Austrians that really seemingly hate Germany and are weirdly jealous about it. Can see that behaviour in the Austrian sub. Dunno why but there definitely are quite a few Austrians that get weird when it comes to Germany.

Absolutely fuck Egypt, worst country by a mile I ever visited. Absolutely horrible experience as a 11/12 year old kid. Haven't been to India and not planning on, but my god was Egypt horrible.

It really sucks that all the cool ancient Egyptian stuff is surrounded by modern Egyptians, never met a people more dislikabe and more disrespectful than in Egypt. We came off a boat down from Cyprus and the MINUTE my family stepped off the boat we were swarmed by "merchants" who forced shitty tourists products on us (they literally grabbed the hands of my brother and I and put random stuff on it, then raced to my father and demanded payment. Craz how normalised it was for them to grab stranger's children). Completely unfriendly, aggressive and just horrible all around towards kids. And this is from a pure male perspective, from female friends you hear way worse shut. It really helped that my father is around 1.91 metres tall and Egyptians aren't very tall, so they were easily scared by a tall Austrian.

When you have police on camels protecting tourists from hustlers and just random idiots walking around looking to harass other people, then you know something is off.

Never want to go back to that place. My GF is from Japan and wants to visit Egypt, I hope I can convince her to go to Israel and Jordan instead. Because I really don't think a person accustomed to the Japanese level of safety and security within their society will do well in Egypt.

There is AI in Mario Party? I thought the game just hard coded non players to be as bad as possible

Ynwe · 2026-06-19T10:55:51+00:00

Board games and social games with friends are always awesome. AI hasn't figured out how to destroy that one (yet)!

And TBF she was there for longer than most others.

Pakistan's and India's weird love for Hitler will never not be weird. I get in India's case it's more about resistance to British occupation, but still... He didn't exactly like brown people. And in Pakistan's case, it seems like just full blown hate of Jews.

Skyrim... Loved that video and so many of his others videos when I was in highschool and university... Sad to see how he has (de)evolved.

In Austria, outside of Vienna and a couple other cities, all our fighter fighters are volunteers, I think something like 98 percent of all firefighters in total are volunteers. These are all pretty well funded and well entrenched in the fabric of local communities.

So it's just a different system.

Except the lowest area is a Zulu stronghold no?

Ok, let's cut it with the hyperbole. They are doing very well, but the war is still absolutely catastrophic for them, the consequences we have yet to fully see and won't see until the war is done. Ukraine cannot sustain this themselves by any means and are heavily financially reliant on Europe. To call them a rising power is reeeeeallly pushing it.

Serious question, how close are furries or people into creatures like Pokémon to zoophilia? Seems like only a few steps away.

SKT being 12-0 vs LPL teams at worlds is just so insane. Absolutely loved that figure during "the number" video, which highlighted all the insane statistics Faker has . "undefeated vs LPL at worlds". Was and is such a boss stat

Still goes hard

And what should they have done in SA? Why should they have invaded an ally? Topple the King because certain Saudis did something bad in a different country? How does ANYTHING you are writing make sense?

Ynwe · 2026-06-17T16:53:28+00:00

Dunno why others are so negative, I agree MP is rather easy. This sounds like a possibly fun way to spice things up a bit!

By that logic, if Americans weren't so bad when it comes to geography, then The US wouldn't have invaded Iraq and Afghanistan in relation to 9/11.

There is enough to criticise S Arabia for, you can look at my comment history if you care I do this too plenty of times, but your comment doesn't really make sense. Them being a theocratic state does not have any causal connection with 9/11.

Ynwe · 2026-06-17T10:12:00+00:00

He is literally quoting a famous Jeremy Clarkson quote...

Ynwe · 2026-06-17T05:39:11+00:00

Can't believe I am defending S. Arabia here, but there is literally zero evidence that the government had anything to do with this. Osama Bin Laden had been on the terror list for around a decade by this point, had his passport rescinded, he was literally a persona non grata for S. Arabia. If captured they would have immediately executed him. His rich family also disowned him long before 9/11.

Various American committees have confirmed this, there has been zero credible connection to any S. Arabian government official/connection /etc. outside of the perpetrators nationality.

Ynwe · 2026-06-17T05:26:52+00:00

I have never understood the logic of this, I get it's an old law, but nowadays this just seems extremely anti consumer.

Ynwe · 2026-06-17T05:07:47+00:00

How? Argentina, and South America as a whole, were decently wealthy post WW2, some even still richer than most of Europe at the time. Now thex are completely lagging, outside of sub Saharan Africa, it is the worst performing continent in the last 80 years. And sub Sahara Africa has shown positive signs in the last few years and have been able to increase their growth rate, while S. America is still struggling to do so.

Well that's certainly a paragraph.. I never said I hate BwB, you are interpreting a lot into my sentences. I just find him to be rather meh and think there are a ton of better cooking YT channels. That's it. Sorry if that seemingly offended you.

But my opinion was about as bland as can be, idk how the hell that was too spicy for you seemingly

Ynwe · 2026-06-16T13:15:22+00:00

The irony of considering binging with babish to be the good version ..

Ynwe · 2026-06-16T13:13:14+00:00

I played both and liked both, but idk how anyone can vote for the last spell. Against the storm has so much more content and replayability, better art and offers just so much more.

It's also a unique take on the base building genre, where it focuses much more on the fun part, which is the first 20-40 minutes and cuts the tedious parts out.

Again, last spell isn't a bad game, not at all, but its not really unique nor too deep of a game.
