Omg same!!

I actually did understand the point of the post it’s just a dumb condescending post so I nitpicked on the part that annoyed me most. Maybe OP needs to worry about their own country and the biases they hold since that kind of thing bothers them so much. It��s 2024 internalized bias isn’t a foreign concept, it’s just a pointless reoccurring topics.

“Americans think pancakes and waffle are the only breakfast food when millions of people eat rice”[insert pictures of breakfast from all over the world] okay bias analyzed now what?

“Americans consider dresses to be a gendered item but all over the world men wear things that’d be considered dresses”[insert pictures of non-American men wearing clothes from their country]

“Americans think their blah blah is the best but look at this blah blah”

Maybe I’ve just been here too long but a version of this post has been going around since 2010. I’m tired , the topic is tired. I’m more curious of what internalized biases OP has from living in their country, clearly one of the biases is that Americans are completely ignorant

i think if yanks can't even recognise that the only reason they find farenheit intuitive is because they were raised with it, there's basically no chance of being able to get them to analyse all the other, more important implicit biases they've been raised with

Maybe because this post relies on not actually talking to people and just coming up with bias too. America is filled with immigrants that came from countries that use Celsius but find Fahrenheit more intuitive after moving to America. How do I know this? Because I’m an immigrant with immigrant friends. I literally had zero concept with what 36 degrees Celsius felt like and still don’t. The only time I think in Celsius is for Chemistry, but knowing the freezing point of water doesn’t do much for me to know what the perfect jacket to wear outside will be.

Also no one what to be called “yanks”

Ed having no memory of the talent show thing and Stede having no memory of beating Izzy ✨husbands✨

also love anytime Ed learns details about people he thought he already knew. he was so bored with his life and being around all the same people but he never really experienced all facets of that life. he instead made his own point of view the only reality, being totally unaware of even when Fang was scared versus happy. he didn't like being put in the box of Blackbeard but still put others into a box and kept them there. Growth his realizing everyone is just as complicated and unless you stop trying to fill the space with your own voice you'll never learn anything new

lol rewatching 2x5 and how did i not notice the sound of the bell all throughout the kiss scene . its so funny hearing the little jingle when Ed shimmied closer to Stede then more jingles when Stede pulled his head.

I just read a manhwa with a girl wasp and i actually liked the depiction. She started as the small bee then had and evolution

you can't really place all the blame for bad female character design on artists because a lot of that comes from higher up the chain of command, which is something I learned the hard way when a client had me draw breasts and eyelashes on a wasp so that it was obvious she's a girl wasp

In case no one told you growing up

Bras last longer if you let them air dry. Don’t put them in the dryer.

If you have a problem with frizzy hair, don’t dry your hair with a towel. It makes the frizzies worse. (I recently read an article that said to use a t-shirt? I brush mine out and let it air dry.)

Whites wash best in hot water. Everything else can be in cold - save on your electricity bill.

You can kill 99.9% of germs in a sponge by putting it in the dishwasher for a cycle or by microwaving it for 2 min (be sure to make the sponge damp before microwaving and to put a cup half full of water in with it and please DO NOT squeeze the sponge until it has cooled off)

Airing out your room/house and letting sunlight in every so often can decrease the number of household pests like silverfish and ants.

Black underwear is best during your period as stains are less likely to be visible.

To save money, put aside 10% of each paycheck into a savings account. It’ll add up.

Unless your hair has something on/in it (like grease or mud or something), using conditioner first can actually be the better choice. The conditioner holds in the good oils that help you hair look sleek and beautiful, which shampoo would otherwise wash away.

Speaking of shampoo - if you have long hair, washing just the bits that touch your scalp is generally enough. The rest of your hair gets cleaned with just the run off from your scalp.

If you put a tampon in and it’s uncomfortable/you can feel it, you didn’t do it quite right. A properly placed tampon is virtually unnoticeable by the wearer.

Apply deodorant/antiperspirant a couple hours in advance of when you need it. This gives the product the chance to block your sweat glands. Using deodorant just before going somewhere where you’ll sweat (this means walking outside for people in high humidity places) results in your sweat washing the deodorant off and starkly limiting its usefulness.

After running the dryer, use the dryer sheet from that load to brush out the lint catch - it gets everything off in a fraction of the time it’ll take you to get it clean with your bare hands. Paper towels also work well.

Wash your face everyday, or as often as possible. Forget which brand of cleanser is best. Just washing your face everyday will guarantee you clearer skin. And do you best not to pop pimples, as tempting as the urge may be.

Fold laundry asap after taking it from the dryer to avoid wrinkles. This may seem obvious for dress shirts and silly for things like t-shirts, but you’ll notice the difference even then once your shirts stop looking like unfolded paper balls.

The his reminds me I literally saw a baby rainbow toy that definitely wasn’t a rainbow

Color has been disappearing from the world.

A new research group used machine learning to track color changes in common materials and items, below is their findings for all color changes over time, they used 7000+ items from the 1800s to now to determine color changes in the most common items.

Below are the colors of cars by year, notice how the majority of cars are grey, white, or black compared to twenty years ago.

These aren't data points, but they are comparisons between the 'modern' homes of the 70s and 80s compared to the modern homes of today.

Carpets have equally had the same treatment of grey added to them! The most common color of carpet is now grey or beige.

Even locations that used to scream with color for decades have now modernized to becoming boring minimalist (and I love minimalism) personality-less locations.

The world is becoming colorless, why?

I remember my mom having this convo with me. She was like “when a man is getting penetrated by another man, the man being penetrated is not being pleasured so he has no choice but to use his hand. When someone uses their hand to masturbate they’re recreating this scenario” I was sooo confused, this seems like such a stretch but all the other moms were just nodding. The reason the convo happened was because a mom was concerned her son might be gay because she suspected he’s been masturbating(his bedroom floor was covered with balled up tissue paper). She was also angry the young baby she has might eat the tissues but didn’t want to confront the teen yet so just kept cleaning his room.

If you jerk off you gay. You cum from stroking meat? Sounds a lil zesty.

Love that the website that wiped out porn decided to put this at the top of my dash. No idea who these guys are so I can’t even say it’s the algorithm

I’m using this post to show you guys a clip from a French show that invited people with “weird” laughs. Literally every laugh in this room brings me such joy

Making fun of someone’s laugh is an extremely cruel thing to do and if you do that you should know that what you’re doing is de-incentivizing expressions of happiness and joy from that person for something they can’t control
