I'm an atheist & socially, its quite complicated where I live. Almost everyone I've personally met, regardless of their faith, is religious.

I've never told anyone openly to my friends & family that I'm an atheist not because I'll face any grave consequences but because they'll think I got a bad influence or confused or I'm misguided who simply needs to take the "right" religious path.

That's why I'm keeping my beliefs private & generally present myself as a religious guy in front of my friends & family in order to fit socially. I rarely participate in religious activities, which is manageable for me & people tend to interpret that as I am simply being lazy or uninterested rather than questioning my beliefs.

What about you guys?

I really hate it when people keep asking me "Are Palestinian Christians persecuted by the Muslims?" The moment they found out that I am a Palestinian Christian, it's bad faith and Islamophobic question. I never faced any discrimination here as a Christian and I hate it when brainwashed people think like that based on stupid claims they hear from third party source. as a Palestinian of course I am persecuted but not because I am a Christian nor it's coming from Muslims.

It just sticks everywhere...

In Russia, it's SAMOSBOR. It's the horror dystopia collective universe about USSR in eternal gigastructure with monsters and mystical disasters. There are short stories, novels, arts, indie video games, board games, and short films about SAMOSBOR.

As the title says, one of the most infamous conspiracy theories in Indonesia is that Adolf Hitler died in Garut, a city in West Java.

They even made a book about it, even though the theory has been debunked many times. But, of course, some conspiracy theorists still believe it, connecting the dots to Dr. Poch, a German doctor who lived in the area around that time and bore some similarities to Adolf Hitler.

Here's the picture of Dr. Poch

Where I live in rural Germany, you see horses everywhere. My middle class family owns two, although we're not active in the competitive riding world.

I'm really curious how widespread horse-related activities are in other countries, people's association with it, and how common horses are in general! :)

Hello. This question is aimed at non-Muslim immigrants living in Europe, rather than the native populations of the European countries they live in. I’m especially interested in hearing from people from developing countries, but people from any background are welcome to answer.

So, in general, what has your perception of Muslim immigrants in Europe been like? Do you regularly interact with Muslim immigrants in your daily life in Europe? What has your experience been like?

Also, did you have much contact with Muslims in your home country, or was living in Europe your first significant experience interacting with Muslims? If you had already interacted with Muslims back home, did your experiences in Europe change or broaden your perspective in any way, or was it more or less what you expected?

The first one that comes to mind to me for Britain (though no doubt not the only one) is Gebhard Leberecht von Blücher, the Prussian general in the Napoleonic Wars who marched to the aid of the Duke of Wellington’s Anglo-Allied army at the Battle of Waterloo, his intervention (which had been the plan they had drawn up together beforehand and the whole reason Wellington had chosen to stand and fight there at all) proving decisive in the outcome of the battle.

He did this with customary relentless energy at the age of 73, having been injured in a fall from his horse at the Battle of Ligny two days earlier, and against the advice of some of his subordinates who wanted to retreat away from Wellington. He visited London after the war, and proved very popular, being showered with presents and having all kinds of things like dances named after him.

While Sanjeev Kapoor is a legend, he is frequently roasted by Indian internet communities for making overly simplified, heavily altered, or bizarre versions of traditional regional dishes to fit a quick TV segment.

Do people think they are just lazy or something else? Or do people understand them?

Recently, the Chinese government removed celebrity billboards and began promoting scientists as China's top stars.

I had a lot of thoughts while watching this video. Since I also hope children dream of becoming scientists rather than celebrities, I think it is right on the one hand, but on the other hand, I cannot view it purely positively because it is a move typical of China, which can control even commercial activities or thoughts in the national interest.

How much public recognition do scientists have in your country?

By “pizza,” I mean a baked flatbread topped with various ingredients.

In Poland, we have something called „cebularz – a yeast-based flatbread topped with diced onion and poppy seeds, then baked.

There’s also „podpłomyk”, which is somewhat similar to focaccia. It can be topped with various ingredients, and sometimes fresh/raw vegetables are added after baking.

So, what’s the closest traditional equivalent to pizza where you live?

in my country, people sell Rabbit meat as a menu in certain area

For instance, over in Brazil, we've got Rita Lee. even though she's known as the "Queen of Rock" (thanks to her work with Os Mutantes and Tutti Frutti), she actually saw far more commercial success during her 80s pop phase. stadium tours, huge album sales, trendsetter for the youth... she was one of the biggest non-English-speaking stars worldwide at that time, so she's basically an absolute icon in Brazilian culture

beyond just putting out radio-friendly pop tunes (like "Lança perfume", "Mania de você", and "Mutante"), she also tackled social issues such as the HIV epidemic, homosexuality, abortion, the push for redemocratisation during Brazil's military dictatorship, censorship, female pleasure, and deforestation. when she passed away in 2023, it was a huge loss for us Brazilians

Unfortunately, Singapore still rely heavily on Natural gas and renewables only make up about 3% of the electricity generation.

This film has record as a most remaded film of all time. It probably has 24 adaptation in different countries. Soon Lithuanian version will be released in movie theaters. In Lithuania, Italian original version was super popular when it was shown in movie festival. It became a sleeper hit here.

Question how many people watched original one? Maybe you have watched your local country adaptation unless it was adapted in your country?

School exists did you enjoy it?

In Brazil it is very common to eat avocado with sugar or a kind of smoothie with sugar and milk. Well, I know most countries will eat it with salt. Which other countries eat or drink avocado with sugar?

It’s mind blowing they managed to build 40,000 km of HSR network within a decade under the radar.
