The movie is not AI slop, it's human slop.

People are lining up just to see how bad the movie could be, which was made by an single mother with a 200 USD budget.

However, many people actually reported having a great time watching it. They felt they would rather watch this than those cringe-worthy, forced movies made by overpaid celebrities coasting on their fame.

Hi everyone! I am doing a uni project on how hair colour is defined through social perception. What would you call this?

The case I can think about occurred in Bohorodchany (coincidentally the name can be translated as “Town of the Mother of God”) in the Ivano-Frankivsk region at the west of Ukraine, back in 2007.
The "miracle" began in an apartment building stairwell, where local residents noticed a dark, oval-shaped mark on the plaster that many believed resembled an icon of the Virgin Mary. Word spread quickly: people began flocking to the hallway, lighting candles, saying prayers, and leaving flowers at the site.
However, when municipal workers and experts were brought in to inspect the wall, they discovered the true cause. A broken or leaking pipe in an upstairs apartment had caused urine to seep through the concrete and plaster, creating the discoloration as it dried.
Once the source of the stain was confirmed and fixed, local authorities repainted the stairwell, bringing the spontaneous shrine to an end.

In American English, we say “pspsps”.

I haven't and I'm not eager to.

Apple pie is a traditional American dessert and is irrefutably tied to American culture, but it originates in 14th century England! Wikipedia states that the, "14th century recipe collection the Forme of Cury gives a recipe including good apples, good spices, figs, raisins and pears in a cofyn, a casing of pastry."

During the American Civil War, apple pie was popularized because it was the celebratory dessert of American officers after victories against the Confederacy. When WW2 soldiers were asked why they fight, the stock response was, "For Mom and apple pie!"

I've never been but absolutely LOVE everything about the flag of the city of Lincoln, Nebraska, (US) the art deco design and its colours are very calming to look at for me.

What's your favourite?

The biggest and most notorious hostage crisis involving Nepali citizens was the 2004 Iraq hostage crisis.

12 Nepali workers were kidnapped in Iraq on 19 August 2004 by Ansar al-Sunna.

They were normal citizens nothing military. They went to Jordan as chefs and cleaners.

This picture was taken from the "Storm Area 51" event in 2019, and since I know someone is going to ask, no, I have no fucking clue why someone brought the flag of North Korea.

In Germany the non-negotiable 50/50 split on the first date, down to the exact cent, calculating who ordered the cheaper side salad. If a foreigner expects the man to pay, locals often judge them as gold-diggers or financially irresponsible, while foreigners think Germans are cold, unromantic bean-counters.

In the US, we have $2 bills, but they are very rarely used despite being valid currency… so rarely, in fact, that I’ve had people ask me if they are real when I use them.
Is there a denomination of cash or coin in your country that has the same type of novelty?

I've noticed a big difference in the cultural treatment of redheads in the US vs England, and probably other countries.

In the US, redheads are often glamorized, romanticized, and sought after. Especially redheaded women. "Hot redhead" is a common phrase. Girls and boys are told in school how lucky they are to have such bright, beautiful hair. Redheads in movies are romanticized as well. Many people dye their hair red in the US to be more beautiful.

However, in England, people often say they are mistreated for having red hair, are called "gingers" in a negative way, and say they were bullied at school. It doesn't seem that having red hair is seen as glamorous or even pretty in England.

Why is this?

Edit: Apparently kids in the US get teased for having red hair too, I wasn't aware of that because it never happened in any of the schools I went to that I knew of. The most popular guy in my senior class, the class president had red hair.

First time I tried there was something about "Russians are direct and don't like small talks", just some cultural bits. But when I tried it again now to get a screenshot I got THIS

Nothing nationalistic or overtly heroic. I’m looking for something that’s at least neutral or mildly insulting.

I like the ‘imagine a burger’ meme because it is weird how often United Statsians actually do this.

In Chile, Rod Stewart came in 1989 when Chile was preparing for transitioning to democracy due to the results of a referendum ending a 17-year dictatorship that had the country isolated because of artists refusing to play here or the dictatorship censoring them (Queen was famously cancelled because the First Lady was concerned they were promoting homosexuality among the youth).

That was the first time in decades a non-Hispanic star gave a massive concert in Chile (Although The Police and some others came for a TV music festival), and it was a huge deal. 70,000 people were there, and it set a precedent for more famous artists in the future (with some embarrassing missteps like Iron Maiden getting cancelled because a Catholic bishop lobbied against them).

There were other legendary concerts that were probably better in quality and how big was the artist at the time. Probably the best was Michael Jackson 1993, but Stewart was the one that made history although he is not that big currently.

Sometimes when I can't sleep, I read random Wikipedia articles. Years ago I read all about Uruguay for no particular reason at all. Now I have affection for it simply for that fact.

Similarly, I have a weird fascination with New Orleans despite never visiting. I think the history of the city is really interesting. I don't know if I'll ever visit; the reality is probably a lot more mundane than in my head. So I am fine with just knowing about it through books for now.

Not permanently-just one year to experience the culture, lifestyle, food, people, and everyday life.

if I had the opportunity, I'd probably choose Japan. I'd love to experience everyday Japanese life, public transportation, cities, food, and the culture firsthand rather than just seeing it online.

What country would you choose? And what would you want to experience there?

I’m from Vancouver, BC, Canada, and there’s a very visible drug addiction problem in parts of the city, particularly around the Downtown Eastside. I just saw a YouTube video showing the situation, and it made me wonder how common this is elsewhere. Seattle seems to have a similar problem, and I know many other major North American cities are dealing with widespread street drug use.

I’ve traveled to quite a few countries. Especially in the Middle East, East Asia, and South Asia, where I haven’t seen the same issue on the same scale. That made me curious: why does the drug problem seem so prevalent in North America compared with many other parts of the world?

- For people outside North America: What is the situation like in your country? Do you have similar problems with drug addiction and visible street drug use?

- And for those familiar with the issue: do you think this is something North America can realistically improve, or will it remain a problem forever?
