If you're still unsure (or need reminding) that the concept of normal is relative, there's one online thread that should, once and for all, convince you.

It began when Reddit user SackOfPotatoSacks made a post on the platform, asking everyone to share what's considered routine where they live but would probably be seen as something crazy everywhere else.

Immediately, people started describing the peculiarities of their local area that they've grown accustomed to, proving that culture seeps deeper into us than we often realize.

30 Peculiar Things That Seem Normal In Some Countries But Not In The Rest Of The World My city is EXTREMELY bilingual, everyone speaks both English and French. You’ll hear people speak both languages in conversations quite often, sometimes in the same sentence. In stores, most of the time, people greet you with both languages and you reply in one of them, which tells them which language you prefer to talk in. They go "Bonjour, Hi!" And you say Bonjour back if you want to continue in French or Hi if you rather speak English. It’s kinda crazy.

I’m from Montréal, Canada.

In Austria around Christmas/St Nicholas time we have events called "Krampusläufe" where people, mostly young (drunk) men dress up as demonic devil-like creatures called Krampus with fur suits, creepy masks and cow bells and pull of shows that include lots of fire, smoke, witch burns etc while mainly Ramstein plays in the back. They also like to whip people in the audience with cow tails. And hell yea we enjoy the show while getting drunk on hot punch. We even bring our kids along.

It's not just rural towns. I grew up in Melbourne and this was true for everyone we knew in melbourne suburbs. We would come home and my mates would be in the living room or garage watching tv waiting for me to get home. Doors would never be locked...still rarely are to this day.

30 Peculiar Things That Seem Normal In Some Countries But Not In The Rest Of The World Alligators. Just...everywhere. I live in a swampy area of Florida, and it's pretty normal to come across alligators in small ponds, ditches, around pools, or just chilling in a parking lot. I've nearly tripped on alligators more times than i'd like to admit. Thankfully they're pretty chill and won't really bother you unless you mess with them or go near a nest. The police are even trained to deal with rogue alligator calls.

Does Norway kind of have a f****d up and moronic sheep farming practice? Yes, yes we do.

Where I used to live in Manitoba, nobody had fences, mainly because when the properties were divided up, the town planners left space that belonged to the town behind all of them, that was just a strip of forest and Canadian shield. So almost nobody put up fences because it cut off their view & access to what was essentially a super cool nature trail network throughout the town. Everyone knew once you hit mowed grass, that belonged to someone. Us kids barely ever went anywhere on foot via roads or sidewalks, we always took the trails (we rode bikes on the roads though, there were too many rocks on the trails for a regular kid's bike)

Of course, living in a forest had some unintended consequences. We frequently had bears, so I remember when I wasn't even 5 yet being taught what to do if I saw a bear. And two separate years we had a mountain lion, which was a lot worse. The town would hire someone to trap and relocate these animals but it always took a while. I remember watching a bear lying down under the crabapple tree in our front yard just eating all the windfall apples for ages, not a care in the world.

Having your birthday party look like this:

Your livingroom is transformed so that there's a great circle of chairs with a coffeetable in the center.

If it's an afternoon party, guests will visit between 14:00 and 17:00 or 18:00 - 21:00, but not both! there's 1 timeslot for friends and 1 for family).

As a guest, you arrive, you congratulate the birthday boy or girl, hand over your present. Then you introduce yourself to the group if you don't know them yet. Then, you go over the circle and shake everyone's hand and ALSO congratulate them with so-and-so's birthday.

After making your way through the circle, you take your empty chair and that is now your seat for the rest of the party.

After everyone arrived, the birthday person will bring you a piece of cake and a beverage (usually coffee or tea). Everyone eats their cake and talks to the person sitting next to him/her.

After everyone is done, there'll be a tour of the house and any new things will be pointed out to you. Now is your moment to ask some questions like "oh, was it expensive?" and also compliment the host on how great it is.

After the tour there'll be another round of food and drinks, snacks will be laid out on the coffeetable, but you shouldn't eat much of it. This is the only food that will be brought out and everyone has to share it.

After guests were there for about 3 hours they'll leave again. Everyone knows they're expected to leave but you need to come off as really wanting to stick around longer but you just couldn't because the dog needs to go for a walk or something, make up any excuse that sounds probable.

Then, repeat the cycle again in the evening with the other group. The weekend after that, invite your close friends to come over and have the real party.

"Let's just eat bread, I've had hot lunch"
"You can't eat two hot meals, that's too much"

I still don't get why it has to be no more and less than one hot meal? And why do breakfast pancakes not count as hot food?

This is one thing I struggle with. I am Asian, born and raised in Germany. While being little i hated having rice every day. Sometimes up to three times. Then I moved in with my ex, with whom I still live with. He has bread for breakfast and bread for dinner, almost every day. If you add two pickled cornichons and two cherry tomatoes and maybe even a soft boiled egg for dinner, it's considered a feast. I couldn't function without proper hot meals and learned to appreciate my rice now 😅

That is an oversimplification on both fronts. But that doesn't mean you're totally wrong. The truth though is that Israel is comprised of different groups with very different ideologies. To seek to find some monolithic viewpoint is as fruitless as attempting to define any nation that way. That said, the Orthodox and ultra-Orthodox communities do exert political pressure far above their numbers would suggest. I don't have a good enough sense of Israeli politics to attempt a guess as to why.

As a Jew brought up in Israel that’s total bs. You get welfare just like the person who is too lazy to work and smokes all day. Israel is a Jewish country so being Jewish and praying is accepted. For those who have a problem with it your either not Jewish or haven’t had a clue about Judaism and it’s our country we’ll do what we want. Muslims Christian’s can claim their country but it’s a Jewish country given down from god and Abraham bought.

God is not real, God is a construct designed to keep common folk in their place. Absolutely no country should have religion be their guide. Unless that religion is actually based in facts, like science or devil worship, as Americans would call it. Witchcraft is another one that could run s country. Just keep mainstream religion or if your countries laws ppl. Remember, those men were hiding in the basement of the tower of babel. Writing a book on how to control the masses...
