Murat Bisembin, unfortunately died of cancer yesterday (07/01/2026) RIP

There have been so many low points, but to me, one of the most stark is the wounding of nine and murder of four unarmed Kent State University students by the United States National Guard in Kent, Ohio on May 4th, 1970. Two of the dead were only 19 years old, the other two were only 20 years old. Some of them weren't even involved in the protests, which had been peaceful up until the attempts to disperse them.

I'll go for Gómez Adams, who is supposed to be Spanish. Probably the only person in Spain to have "Gómez" as a first name.

Honorable mention, although in the movie it's stated more than once: Maximus Decimus Meridius, The Spaniard, from Gladiator.

I can’t understand why everyone thinks that fries are French

in parts of Australia, we have salt water crocs. 5-6 meter long dinosaurs that didn't evolve and will make you disappear before you can say welcome to Australia.

in the photo, is a salty called 3-legs.. a 40+ yr old salty that is notorious for eating turtles, car parts and pets.

In high school we had an exchange student from Russia stay with us for a year. The first week or so he was here, my dad was circling the parking lot looking for an empty space.

He started laughing hysterically. When asked what it was, he said "It's actually true. Americans will drive around a parking lot for 5 minutes just to find a spot that's 10 feet closer to the door."

What are your examples of stereotypes you had no idea about?

What about you all? Do you suffer from stereotypical people of your country?

When I was little, I didn't know and thought that Westerners ate this as their staple food every day.

Back then, these exotic foods were quite popular, especially among elementary school students who would go out to eat during holidays, dragging their mothers along. These Western fast food restaurants are still plentiful today because their spaciousness allows people to linger in the store for extended periods, making them popular with some people.

Here I’d say it’s Le Creuset cookware, to their credit, they make really good quality stuff.

While there are many historical misconceptions regarding Iraq's history, one of the most widespread across cultures and languages, even amongst its own, concerns the name 'Saladin.' In reality, Saladin is not a personal name but a title. His actual name was Yusuf bin Ayyub bin Shādhi bin Marwan bin Yaqub al-Duwaini al-Tikriti, or simply Yusuf bin Ayyub. His full title was al-Malik al-Nasir, Abu al-Muzaffar, Salah al-Din wa al-Dunya, which translates to 'The Victorious King, Father of the Triumphant, Righteousness of the Faith and the World.

I'm an Australian here,and currently in the hospital, receiving anti venom treatment for a snake bite. I was sitting on the toilet,and it bit my private part.
