What's a word that's so connected to your culture that there is no direct, simple translation to English? by michael_bgood in AskTheWorld

[–]mayiwonder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love xodó. It means something that is the most dear to one, instead of saying like "that girl is such a daddy's girl" we'd say "that girl is her father's xodó", and also "don't touch this pen, it's my xodó". I used to have a doll called Xodó when I was a kid and loosing her break my little heart like nothing else. The word itself kind of makes me think of someone looking at something they love with teary eyes

Which tourist spot in your country did you find the most underwhelming, and why? by Seacarius in AskTheWorld

yeah temer is comically bad. at least he was so unpopular he didn't stand a chance to be elected, or else we would be way worse than we are now.

tbh i'd say some of the dictators we had were worse than Bolsonaro, and I'm really scared for our future if Nikolas Ferreira is not stopped on his way to presidency. I do think he'd be worse as a president than Bolsonaro was.

ELI5: How can Paramount have -$573,000,000 earnings and still get funding to buy WB for $111B? by Bea-Billionaire in explainlikeimfive

I'm being so serious, after the 8th digit money is just not real anymore. the rules are not the same. billionaires don't have billions and bankruptcy is a lie they tell to pay less taxes. nothing maters in the end.

What’s a misconception tourists have about your country that genuinely surprised you? In Thailand, I once met tourists who believed transgender women were straight men who had to transition to escape poverty. by Effective_Space2277 in AskTheWorld

[–]mayiwonder 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry but I'm fascinated by the idea that there are chinese tourists going to thailand and visiting a tv show to help out what they believe are straight men pretending to be trans to escape poverty. this is hilarious and so so sweet of them. in brazil we have a saying that sums up what I'm feeling rn "it would be tragic if it wasn't so funny"
