We’re going broad with this one given the population and the size.
It’s OK to run a fan at night
Nice try Big Fan.
Women are smart, capable, and equal.
Central and West Asians really aren’t ready to hear that.
neither are Yoon’s little fascist youth sadly
and apparently neither are the pissy korean american boys on Reddit too
I live in west Asia and I agree :3
Flash-news.
Plastic is not biodegradable.
BREAD DOESN’T NEED TO BE SWEET. Please. Especially not cheese toast.
Asian here, I came in thinking there was nothing I could read that would hurt. Then, first comment.
Live in Japan and seconded. It can be sweet, but making it all sweet is just missing out on so much.
Your curry sucks.
No, not that other Asian country’s curry. That one is really good.
YOUR curry sucks.
Why is it like that and way different from that other Asian country that tastes way better?
Some of ya’ll are the most racist people and China is, like, the Texas of Asia. I think of people living in China the same way I think of people living in North Korea: How horrific, I wish them luck.
Also, WTF South Korea. All I hear is how sexist and fucked up you are. I don’t hear anything good about living there, and the fact that some of those cheabols haven’t been assassinated yet is beyond me.
corn does NOT belong on pizza
and corn isn’t street food
fuck corn
and corn isn’t street food
I disagree. Corn in Mexico definitely works as a street food. Also, I just realized this, but I wonder why corn didn’t pick up as street food in Chicago and Indianapolis.
I’ve definitely had street corn in Chicago.
It is when it’s elote.
Corn on those Asian buns though.
Y’all migrated out of Africa like the rest of us.
Turns out it was more in central Europe according to the latest discovery, but we are all human regardless of where we started.Edit: Never mind, it was only 1.4 million years ago: https://www.pbs.org/newshour/science/ancient-stone-tools-found-in-ukraine-may-have-been-used-by-early-humans-over-1-million-years-ago
The second part still stands though.
What was more in central Europe?
The earliest record of humans, it was pretty recently discovered.
I’m gonna need a link for that cause that makes no sense at all in the context of all other finds.
Nice down vote, you can go find it yourself now (or remain ignorant, I don’t really care if you learn anything new or not).
That’s unfortunate, since many of would find that fascinating reading. I remember reading something similar but more like: there was a wave of migration to central Europe much earlier than expected
Everything I just looked at still puts Affrica as origin
Although I don’t remember reading …. Each wave of migration out of Africa was different hominids. They all coexisted for a long time but eventually the hominids from the last wave succeeded and the others died out
Looks like it might have just been a poorly written headline but the earliest stuff I’ve heard in the past was either Africa or Middle East:
AFAIK, the “out-of-africa” hypothesis isn’t so much based on skeleton findings.
It’s more based on some thoughts. One of them is that africa has a “high genetic variability” which they see as proof that humanity originated there, even though i doubt the soundness of that argument.
The second reason is some kind of racism: “if africans are really inferior beings, that must be because life originated there and emigrated and africans simply stayed behind in both space and development.” (not my thoughts)
Ironically in the 19th centuries Europeans were all clamouring to have definitive proof that Homo Sapiens evolved within their borders to prove that they were the greatest and most fully evolved humans.
Out of Africa had to work pretty hard to become accepted.
And is very much based on skeletal records.
Do you mind providing a source ? I’ve been reading fascinating fiction on the subject of early humans (by Jean M Auel) and I’d love to know more
I might have misread it but I’d previously heard Africa and somewhere in the middle east (Ur, current day Iraq was a big city)
Everything I’m finding on Google is saying Morocco, with scientists suggesting we probably evolved all over Africa.
Africa/Middle east is what I’d heard previously but I think the article I last read was a misunderstanding of this:
In a world where we think of climate change and national debt as Western worries, Asia’s dirtiness is enough of an absolute eco-hazard to warrant its own kind of debt if the rest of us thought the same way.
The same rivers Rama and Krishna bathed in could today kill you, and China has enough air pollution that the smog from Los Angeles blows over from there, more or less the same way sand from the Sahara fertilizes the Amazon.
McDonald’s and fast food restaurants are looked down on in many western countries. Flexing you’re eating at McDonalds to westerners is like saying you don’t know what quality looks like.
McDonald’s only uses pink slime in the US. Other countries health standards require real food to be served. So that flex is actually understandable. Their McDonald’s is actually good and relatively healthy all things considered. I can’t imagine eating McDonald’s over there your entire life only to realize one vacation that your country has the superior fast food.
Idk about Asia, but I’ve been to McDonald’s in Germany and it tasted exactly the same as home.
When I briefly lived in China one of the first things expats would ask is if you’ve tried KFC yet. I don’t eat meat but almost every Westerner I met raved about how much better fast food is in china.
I used to get fast food fries occasionally in Australia, then stopped when I moved to the US cause the quality was much worse. I started again Taiwan.
I can assure you is that all of the fast foods ive been to in europe, all tasted like shit. except for kfc and taco bell. Subway is the most egregious offender, 9 euro for a 15 cm sandwich is straight up theft. It wasnt even good, just the most mid turky sandwich ever
Subway in Europe does the veggie pattie and that is fire. Can’t find that automatically in non-Europe Subways.
the mcdonalds here in hong kong are fuckin sick compared to the ones i’ve been to in the US and Canada.
some of the juiciest fried chicken i’ve ever had, and the seasonal shaker fries are hella rad.
China is the USA of Asia.
This is supposed to be a burn against asian countries as an American in devastated 😭😭😭
China is just West Taiwan. 🤷🏻♂️
West Taiwan: “Okay so you admit we are both part of the same country then? BEGIN THE
INVASIONUNIFICATION!”
I have never met someone raised outside of Asia that has ordered a glass of hot water to drink as-is. I have no idea why this habit is so wide spread among people raised in Asia and it baffles me.
I think it’s rooted in a belief that consuming something so cold is bad for the body somehow. Meanwhile I’m sure they eat frozen desserts.
Yes, body dampness. It’s old Chinese medicine and it’s believed cupping helps draw out body dampness. Among other things.
People in China drinking hot water in summer is equivalently weird to Americans drinking ice water in winter.
Some people who like to drink tea after a meal are fine with just sipping hot water if tea isn’t available.
I haven’t heard of it, but I guess it makes sense. Like, it’s not uncommon in the US to drink hot coffee in the morning when it’s cold out if you’re camping or in an outdoors environment that’s hard to heat up. Delivers a big slug of heat directly to someone. But there’s no real reason that it has to contain caffeine.
I don’t know about Korea or other places, but Japan traditionally didn’t go in for house insulation, aimed to use the kotatsu rather than heating the living space as a whole.
I love that kotatsu idea! That would be such a cozy way to rest in on a cold weekend. This should be a thing everywhere …. But only the electric version. I’m not sticking my feet under a mystery blanket with a charcoal burner somewhere
y’all racist as fuck!
Experiencing the world through a camera lens is not how it’s meant to be
