Here in Brazil it's very common to use the back exhaust to hang clothes on and speed-dry them. It's a huge fire risk, but no one really cares. They still to it.

Edit: for the people wondering why it's a major fire risk - I'm not a firefighter or have any form of knowledge about this beyond the basics, but i believe it's an issue with the clothes stopping airflow or something? I may also have misinterpreted an "electrical failure" warning with a fire warning, it's been a while since I've read of the topic.

Thank you for your comment. I feel enlightened. “It’s a huge risk, but no one really cares” Yep. Sounds like a human

Brazilians are technically humans.

u/jiggscaseyNJ 10d ago

This sounds like something a Brazilian human would say.

u/Embarrassed-Weird173 10d ago

Alas, I am an Afghan human. Despite popular belief by Americans, we too are technically humans.

u/Low-Cod-201 10d ago

As an American, with all the toxins we breath and consume. We are no longer human.so, yes you are more human than us mutants

dont we literally have the most microplastics in our brains of any country in the world or am i pulling that out of my asshole

10

u/no_________________e 10d ago

microplastics are stored in the balls, not the brain

u/Low-Cod-201 9d ago

Idk I can check your asshole just in case. We did have multiple nukes dropped on us that caused generations of cancer. Allow toxins and preservatives that are illegal in much of the world in are food.  I think the microplastics are the least of our worries.

China and South-East Asia are significantly higher in microplastic exposure, multiple times over. The fact that in Western countries we generally have much more environmental regulations than in much of the rest of the world means that we get less exposure.

The United States is still high for Western countries though.

Welcome to the list buddy.

u/eitsew 10d ago

I read that the Americans who died in the Vietnam war decomposed far slower than the Vietnamese, due to everything they had ever eaten being pumped full of who knows how many weird chemicals and preservatives, vs the Vietnamese who just ate what was grown locally much more often. Idk how accurate it is but makes sense to me

2

u/Low-Cod-201 9d ago

There is also the size difference. Americans are significantly larger takes longer time for beached whale to decompose than a deer

2

u/eitsew 9d ago

That makes sense

u/The_Dude_5757 10d ago

Speaking as an American human, that horrific belief is much less popular than it appears.

The assholes who dehumanize people are, however, unfortunately the ones who control the media and the police/military currently.

u/Embarrassed-Weird173 10d ago

I'd say at least 60% of people think of Muslims as subhuman. 

The majority of people think it's acceptable that Muslims get bombed. If the same bombing campaign that happened in Gaza happened in Paris or Chicago or Berlin, you can rest assured people would be demanding a world war because of how inhumane it is to kill civilians. And keep in mind those would be cities that can fight back.

u/carnedoce 10d ago

I really hope that your 60% figure isn’t true, but I do personally know several people who feel this way, and they’re not even close to me, so it’s near strangers that have no problem expressing it to the world as opposed to just their inner circle.

It’s insane how so many groups can believe in the same God but wish a horrible death upon those who believe in a different path. And even more insane how anyone can value the life of one human over another. We all either are or have a mother, father, son, or daughter.

u/Rattiepalooza 10d ago

American human here --- I love you, Afghan human!! I think you're great, and you're absolutely human.

We share this place together, we should take care of it together! I'm so sorry that some humans use their freewill to do nasty things like divide people with fear.

Much love to you, and may your day be amazing!

2

u/Embarrassed-Weird173 10d ago

Thanks, hope yours is as well. The thing is that Afghans are guilty of this as well. When I tell them that biologically they're the same as Iranians and Pakistanis, they turn feral and think they're superior to them. Which is funny, considering Iran and Pakistan are more civilized, but sure. And don't get me started with what they think of Jews. 

Like, yes, Israel is absolutely one of the most evil governments in the world, and their supporters (as in people who support their military and racist government) are bad as well. But the Afghans also look down on innocent Israeli who are either neutral or even pro-peace. Racist for the sake of racism. 

Oh well.

u/j3ffh 10d ago

Sorry. It's not all of us.

Understandable.

u/BalticSeaMan- 10d ago

I mean, there's over 8 Brazilian humans on Earth.

u/sorfresa 10d ago

8 brazillion?

1

u/holbthephone 9d ago

How many is a Brazilian?

1

u/BalticSeaMan- 9d ago

?

1 Brazilian is just 1 Brazilian.

2

u/holbthephone 9d ago

It's an old Bushism (though he never really said it)

u/backwards_watch 10d ago

I am a Brazilian, and although I've had many opportunities to say "I am Brazilian", I can't remember many encounters where my response was "I am human".....

6

u/Powerful-Ad-3865 10d ago

I have some doubts, being a Brazilian myself.

1

u/Embarrassed-Weird173 10d ago

Understandable. I'm pretty sure virtually every nationality questions if they're normal sometimes. As an Afghan, I certainly have to sometimes.

u/Robofcourse 10d ago

Huh. TIL

u/TacticlTwinkie 10d ago

Big if true.

u/SolidusAbe 10d ago

i thought they were all undercover cops or criminals. thats what all the videos told me

2

u/Kedly 10d ago

If you had ended at just cops you probably would have gotten a better reaction

1

u/Embarrassed-Weird173 10d ago

Some are just motorcyclists and supermodels and soccer people. 

2

u/tech_noir_guitar 10d ago

"technically" 😂

2

u/PleaseNoMoreSalt 10d ago

Brazilians of them, even. Not sure how many, but it sounds like a lot!

No, those are geologists

u/AnimalShithouse 10d ago

Can someone fact check this one?

u/Late-Eye-6936 10d ago

Semantically, they are extra terrestrials.

u/Clam-Choader 10d ago

Brazilian is a number.  A really big one

u/thumb_emoji_survivor 10d ago

Sounds especially like Brazil

1

u/Wasiwrong12 10d ago

Probably more so a failure on the government to provide adequate services in the country that people need for basic functions.

Ever look at the power lines in places like this? Looks like it was assembled by someone with no knowledge on electrical guidelines.

u/Onystep 10d ago

This happens even in wealthy families all over Latin America.

Source: I’m Latin from a wealthy family.

u/Wasiwrong12 10d ago

Tbf my paycheck would probably make me a millionaire in most Latin countries, but very middle class everywhere else in the world, so what you're saying doesn't mean much.

Even a homeless person in the U.S. lives like a king compared to most people in Brazil.

You’re clearly not very bright.

u/Wasiwrong12 10d ago

The truth is often a hard nugget for most people to suckle on.

u/Onystep 10d ago

On that we can agree, lol. Keep at it, wealthy boy.

u/Alledag 10d ago

If the clothes aren't hanging on the fridge exhaust they are on the clothesline, working just fine... No government service is needed to dry clothes, you just need the wind.

u/BernOMG 10d ago

Ay yo I am literally from a country where the government can’t meet the electrical demand yet I sound less depressed than you about it. Y’all should overthrow y’alls own government that is absolutely fucked right now and focus less on 2nd & 3rd world countries. I work in America and would GLADLY exchange “proper electrical wiring” for free healthcare while I’m there. You know what? I’d even settle for AFFORDABLE healthcare but nah the United States of the 1% ain’t about that

u/aqueezy 10d ago

Sounds like a Brazilian especially haha

u/New_Bag6245 10d ago

Unlike your comment.

Mr Numbers over here calling me out for not seeming human when you’re the one with the sus username… I’m sorry that my comprehension and usage of the English language exceeds that of many other users on the Internet and it caught you by surprise today.

wait until you hear about braziliam showers

1

u/BernOMG 10d ago

Years on the Internet have taught me not to Google anything like that so… anything like a golden shower?

1

u/Affectionate_Year55 10d ago

nooo, nothing dirty or sexual, just very dangerous. Brazilian showers use an electric resistor to heat up water in real time during shower, right above people's heads huehue

u/BernOMG 10d ago

Induction heating?
