I feel like a lot of people are taking the post too literally (or maybe I’m not). I once knew a girl who posted a photo of her dad watching football on a plane captioned “Persian dads really need their football lol” and it’s like. That’s just a universal dad thing. Lots of dads in every culture do that.

Some people just do not think about cultures outside their own. Like, at all.

Certain things are constant across cultures. Among them: food, sports, and music.

And when I say "food", I mean beyond just biological sustenance. It's part of culture and an important part of social gatherings.

But the importance of food can be very different still. As a German I would say food is not a huge part of social culture. Like yes we eat together when we celebrate, but the food is usually just a necessity instead of the main focus

which is a shame because schupfnudeln fried in blutwurst and sauerkraut should be sang to high heaven

Oktoberfest is not exactly not about food and drink though.

Well, seeing the chemical waste people eat in the US, I do think they hate real food. Also in my culture (Dutch) food isn't as important as it is in Italy for example. We eat rather healthy, but the best quality food we produce we export because we love money more than food apparently. For the best quality food produced in the Netherlands you need to go to a supermarket in France. It's stupid.

“Real food”😂 you probably have never seen real American food. Only what you see on the internet and tv.

The cultural equivalent of:

"So what do you like to do?"

"I like to have fun."

[–] lobut@lemmy.ca 3 points 6 days ago

"I like to laugh"

I mean, I've never seen someone have a giggle and then frown and say: "that fucking sucked"

In my culture we had nothing but roadkill and weeds to eat, so we got really good at making stuff palatable. << Most cultural food legends.

My kind of people. “We see food as necessary but not really a key part of enjoying life”

The word "zeitgeist" makes more sense to me than the word culture. I know what "zeitgeist" means but the use of the word word culture is applied more generally to the point of being vague or anthropological. I grew up eating lots of McDonald's so is my culture Scottish, or fast foody?

[–] LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I was watching a Rob Reiner interview today (Rest in Peace 😭) and he paused to think of the best word to complete his thought, and while he paused I thought "zeitgeist" is the perfect word to describe what he's talking about, and I KNOW that's the word he was searching for, but he used three other words as a synonym to describe it, and now I see you using the word zeitgeist, and hey, thanks for making me feel a little more complete today.

Season's Greetings!

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 4 points 6 days ago

Well my culture loves watching TV and vegging out!

[–] Alphonsus@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

I trust everywhere round the globe has it's own culture and heritage but some places are great with Culture, Cultural Food, Cultural Music, Cultural Dance, cultural History and Mysteries.

I'm originally from Nigeria 🇳🇬 In Africa and as a citizen of the Giant of Africa, I can bet with my mother land that Africa is the true definition of Culture and Heritage.

Regardless the ongoing crisis, which is also happening in other places in the world. Africa has been great and will forever be great!!! ✌✌✌
