Culture Openmindedness Mega-Thread

[Leo Gura]

I'd like to make a thread that shares and explores exotic cultures around the world, in the spirit of raising our openmindedness to and appreciation of the rich cultural diversity beyond standard vanilla Western culture. There are many great examples to be shared.

Stuff like this:

I want to see examples here of exotic and weird cultural norms and habits.

Its so cool that tribes still exist in 2020

Radical openmindedness required.

But let's not turn this into a gross-out food thread. We've all seen those gross-out food videos. It's not really about exploring culture so much as shock value.

No food in this video. I just love how quality his videos are, makes you feel like youre there.

One thing I really like is finding little examples of two cultures that you wouldn't usually except to mix together coming together in a cool new hybrid culture. Here's an example of Jewish Ethiopians:

It shows me that cultures are more inter-connected than we assume and that absolute borders between identities don't exist. There's thousands of these unique hidden cultures around the world that don't fall easily into more mainstream categories of identification.

I recommend a movie called samsara. It's a film about the different cultures on the planet. Truly eye opening and shocking at times.

Here is a clip from it:
