    POV: You hate memes that start with Nobody:

      What’s weird is that recently I only ever see it used inappropriately. The thing being highlighted in this meme wasn’t particularly objectionable or weird, so pulling a “Nobody:” on it just makes it look like OP is desperately trying to crowbar their observation into a meme.

      Yeah, disliking the format is one thing, but it’s used correctly in this case.

  Pro-tip: when jokingly greeting your Ukrainian friend with bread and salt, DO NOT dump the salt on the ground when you’re finished. It’s specific enough that it probably won’t come up, but just trust me. She will scream at you.

      When my ex first arrived in the U.S. (at the time as my au pair, long story), I greeted her with bread and salt, which is a Ukrainian/Slavic custom when welcoming guests. Just a little joke/nice gesture. I had the salt in a little ramekin. When we got in the car, I opened the driver’s side door, and just dumped it all on the ground. Well, she was very superstitious (black cats, broken mirrors, all the classics) and apparently, spilling salt is considered a bad omen. So I assume knowingly dumping it on the ground isn’t great. Then she screamed, “WHAT ARE YOU DOING???” and I think said some things in Ukrainian, etc… I froze, apologized, and learned something new.

  It’s the same in all post-soviet countries I think :3

    How it was explained to me in Slovakia is that even number goes on the grave.

    Which sucks, because I like even numbers and dislike odd.

      Give them an even number of yellow roses. It’ll be fine because yellow symbolizes friendship, so there’s no way it’ll be misinterpreted.

      Eastern European mafia types sometimes give an even number of roses to their friends so it must be fine!

    Not a thing im hungary? What does even number of roses mean?

      It’s quite present here in Eastern Hungary. Countless times was asked by my older relatives if I made sure to buy odd numbers of roses for my gf

    It is also present in France, i heard about never making an even bouquet, and judging by the internet, it's because it's also meant for funerals.

    source

    • AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      From what I knew it’s because you bought an even number, kept one (that’s the important part) and offered the (now odd) bouquet. When your flower had wilted, you knew you could offer another one.

      I’m Lithuanian and I have an early childhood memory of gifting somebody four dandelions for birthday and my parents told me it should be an odd number of flowers for a gift. I don’t think I’ve heard it mentioned since, but it’s a thing. I don’t think most people would care either way, at worst a florist might have a shifty look if you buy an even number of flowers.

    Yep, Russia alone is 140m people (and Romania is like 15-20 I believe). Not like I am superstitious, but I never bought even numbers of flowers so not to be misunderstood. An exception is when there is “a lot” of flowers, then nobody cares.

  1 rose works well in a small vase.

  2 roses means the go left and right, which looks weird.

  4 roses are the same, either it’s unbalanced or split.

  3 and 5 mean you have an even number, plus a middle.

  • hazl@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨21⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    My first thought was that odd numbers have soft edges, and even numbers are hard. I didn’t really know why I feel this way, but I always have. Your comment made me realise that geometry might have something to do with it.

    What I still don’t fully understand though, is why I attribute personality types to numbers the way I do. Why do I think that 7 is dim–witted, and 2 is arrogant? You don’t have to have an answer. I just think about it sometimes.
