America is always complaining about being broke but always finds the money for war.

The Polymarket rules are not laws. “Oops I broke the rules you caught me lol, looks like my crypto wallet’s banned now so I’ll have to make a new one in 5 seconds”

It is possible to construct a zero-knowledge proof using cryptography and existing digital ID infrastructure. A user can prove that they have knowledge of a private key tied to an adult’s identification card without having to divulge any other details.

It’s possible to construct an age-verification system that allows a user to verify they are over the age of 18 without divulging any other information whatsoever. But that would defeat the point of “age” verification for these goons.

They should make a “Firefox Core” which contains only the browser with basic features, and then make another version which contains all the “fun” stuff.

I think there is a line to be drawn between what is theoretically better and what is meaningfully useful. It is realistically not useful information for an attacker to know what country you are from by observing your UTC offset. It’s simply much easier to guess this information by observing your other behaviours. For example, the text and time of your post is already leading me to guess UTC+5:30 as the time zone in question. But again, knowing what country you’re from is not really useful information most of the time, as even if my guess is correct, that narrows it down to a whopping one-eighth of the human population.

The definitionition of "American" is pretty flexible. If you move here, live here, and want to consider yourself an American, then you are an American. Some loud zealots may say otherwise (typical in any country) but most Americans literally do not think about this at all.

I'm pretty sure all cultures adapt and learn from other cultures. That's just how human culture develops. Vietnamese takes on French favourites resulted in bahn mi and Vietnamese coffee, both of which are very good. Poor Hongkongers wanting to eat like Brits resulted in Hong Kong's famously weird "Cha chaan teng" food and Hong Kong-style milk tea. And, of course, Europeans went crazy over Mesoamerican chocolate and created a cornucopia of confectionery products made from the cacao bean.

Well, colonialism did bring tomatoes and potatoes to Europe.

I think the joke is that Americans like to adopt foods or cooking techniques from other cultures, then change them to fit local tastes. This is how a lot of "traditional American" foods came to be. There is also a stereotype that American cultural practices (gastronomy included) are "not real" or that American culture as a concept doesn't exist because it comes as a fusion of cultural practices from other countries. The meme is poking fun at people who may hold that belief. People also have a habit of describing the American versions of things to be "not real", even if it never really claims to be. For example, fettuccine Alfredo in the US is an adaptation of fettuccini al burro (a real Italian dish), but is described as "not real Italian food" because it isn't actually eaten in Italy. Or that orange chicken is "not real Chinese food" because it isn't eaten in China. Which, to be fair, *is true*, but most American diners are aware that Panda Express, Olive Garden, and Taco Bell aren't accurate representations of food eaten in China, Italy, or Mexico. They're Americanised versions of food inspired by Chinese, Italian, and Mexican cuisine.

Americans associate the orange colour with cheese so it's more cultural than practical. Other than the fact that some cheese being orange and some not being orange helps tell apart different varieties. For example, bright orange cheese is usually young cheeses that are used to make sauce or for sandwiches. Duller orange cheeses or slightly brown ones are expected to have a more sophisticated flavour (e.g. aged longer or smoked).

This is false, due to contaminants our air is legally considered dairy in Europe, and thus the average American actually consumes twice this quantity daily

What happened to blursedimages?

It looks like a one-piece outfit in which case I think women tend to just pull it all upwards when they need to use the toilet

Women do not urinate out of their vagina

I thought the giveaway here was that the Pokémon is named “Bidet”, but all wild Pokémon are named whatever their species is (“Piplup”), meaning this one is already caught and was given a nickname by its trainer.

I think this is rage bait but I think there is a difference between saying “X is weird” and saying “X should be banned”. That’s all I will say on the matter

Why have I got the suspicion this is fetish content of some sort

It’s easy to say this when you don’t consider the law an impediment to achieving your goals. That’s why junkies and rich people can always “make it happen”.
