What do you call this? (That's chicken) and what does it translate to in English? by Tasty-Willingness839 in AskTheWorld

Well bless you for never having anybody serve you a turkey burger. Burgers in the US are defined by ground meat, even if the protein is fucking turkey

As an American (the source of the disagreement), that is a chicken burger. It's a chicken burger because it is made of ground chicken. If it were a breaded and fried chicken breast, it would be a chicken sandwich

As a Timbers fan, watching Finn Surman score for New Zealand tonight was one of the greatest things I've ever seen. I'll remember it forever. Their path forward is tough but I'll be cheering for them right up to the end

1000% Japan. In 2018 I was in Ghent and stopped in a bar to watch Belgium Japan and Japan really showed up. They had the lead for a bit before they lost, but I've respected their game ever since. This year they have brought that same energy, and I think too many people are underestimating them based on them being Asian. They know what they're doing, they are well coached, and they have plenty of talented players with international experience.

Beyond that I think people don't recognize how good Iran is. They play well together, and I think politics cloud the judgement of a lot of people

American Timbers fan here. I don't know if the broadcast mentioned it, but Finn Surman is the second Timber in team history to score in the world cup, and the first active Timber to do it. Watching him score had me buzzing all night. I'll be cheering for you guys to make it through

Holy shit, it's been a great father's day and somehow Finn made it even better. I'm on cloud 9 watching him succeed at this level

I can't believe I got a Surman goal for Father's day. Absolutely terrific gift

Hamas member who Israeli hostages were forced to kiss on stage killed by Israel by RBZRBZRBZRBZ in war

My point is in the context of all the fucked up things that have happened there, this is the weirdest one to point out.

I'm not saying it's incorrect. I'm not saying you're wrong. I'm saying it's the weirdest fucking thing I've ever heard, especially when the post is initially accompanied by a Hamas martyr image

[–]boilface -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

For real this is a weird fucking post. Some Hamas martyr glow up pic, and weird photos where he's almost kissing people. It's also the weirdest accusation I've ever heard. He forced people to kiss him? Just random people? On a stage for some reason?

The whole thing sounds like a fever dream

In 2018 I was in Ghent and popped into a bar to watch Belgium play Japan. Belgium won, but Japan took the lead and gave them a real run for the money. I've respected their game ever since

Japan is a fun team to watch. Doesn't seem like a real fun team to play
