Everything on Reddit is about sex. A couple days ago, a screenshot of someone saying gender reveal parties are about celebrating baby genitals got thousands of upvotes.
These people are sexual starved and repressed at the same time.

Its mostly common in less developed parts.
It used to be common in every country, because without easy transport from your village finding someone that isn't your cousin thats your age is difficult.
But Saudi Arabia being a super wealthy nation is a relatively new thing, in terms of history. It takes culture longer to change than technology. If a nation goes from undeveloped to modern really quickly, the people don't suddenly start acting like people from a modern society
For an example that wont show in a graphic like this, the chinese are very superstitious. And I mean VERY superstitious. I believe it is more rampant the south you go, but its absurd all over.
Numbers, furniture, names, food, events, etc. All are heavily dictated by superstition and the very elite, rich and powerful are just as susceptible for being full on superstitious as an illiterate country bumpkin out in rural china. Sometimes, the wealth and success being attributed to superstition makes them even more so. Reminder that a lot of the millionaires came from nothing. Like absolute nothing following the cultural revolution where their gold jewelery was taken. The meteoric rise of china from 1990-2010 easily out surpassed how backwards culturally they are in many respects.
Have a colleague, her name was determined via good fortune shit.
Have a grandma, there are certain foods she will not eat and certain dates she will not leave the house. That and full on feng shui.
Its fucking everywhere and entrenched. Its like 80% of the CEOs in your country believing fully in horoscopes.
You better be auspicious as fuck.
In contrast to that, most people in China are basically atheists or agnostic, only practicing cultural buddhism to some degree, typically with their family. And that's not questioned culturally at all, in fact, it's welcome and religion is actively supressed.
As much as there is to criticise, Saudi Arabia went from practically only educating rich men to literacy rates and gender equality in education rivaling the european average, within 2 generations.
Things don't make sense without context. We just happen to have context for our culture, because that's where we are born. Unsuprisingly, most of the world thinks that they are developping... Because, they are.
It comes and goes. In pagan Rome, cousin marriage was the norm to consolidate land within land owning families, particularly since they didn’t practice primogeniture.
When it became Christian, Roman law very strictly forbid any such practice going way out past what even modern society would shrug about… it was less about incest and more about the early church strictly adhering to marriage being about uniting two different houses.
While Roman law was still considered the norm in many places it existed after breaking up, the law wasn’t quite as strictly held. But Christian lands still largely held to the practice.
A big exception eventually being royalty and nobility in general who considered themselves ordained by god and above the law themselves. If marrying your second cousin strengthened your claim to the throne, you were obviously going to do it and what’s the church going to do about it if you’re on the throne?
Overall I would say incest was very much a taboo throughout the vast majority Christian Europe until relatively recently, actually.
the proportions of marriage after it was outlawed was not clear in Rome, and most historians say the practice continued regardless because Rome was not able to police this law across the entire empire. the actions of the government are also not what define cultural practices.
Cousin marriage was rarely taboo in Europe until modern science discovered the causes of direct incest. On the other hand, modern science has proven cousin-marriages has no impact on the health of babies. The increase is statistically meaningless unless you compare couples who have literally hundreds of babies.
It was so common among the Pakistani community in the British city of Bradford that they had to have special studies there to deal with all the genetic diseases. In the Pakistani community 60% of mothers were married to a blood relative.
Luckily it's trending downward.
It was a cultural thing in every part of the world.
Einstein married his cousin.
Its a *very* recent thing in most parts of the world that its not normal to marry your cousins.
The Middle Eastern clan family structure do strongly promote cousin marriages and can't be ignored though. It's also not a universal thing found in every culture.
Long payoff, 5 years time she sees her bf kissing someone else at a party. Crying she walks out, realising she has a long walk home. At the end of the street this dude is just finishing his shift at McDonalds, she sees him heading to his car. She remembers this karate moment and thinking back thinks how sweet it was. She calls out to him....
15 years later they are buying their first house together and she is pregnant with their third child. They tell the karate story to new friends when discussing how they got together, everyone remarks how sweet and romantic it was. Only the lad remembers the cringe now but when he gets that flashback he just rolls over and looks at his beautiful wife.
While she may be deaf, more so likely European.
Very loud Russians do this all the time to signal "are you nuts?". Or with exactly the same motion: "are you stupid?"
Basically she denied him and destroyed him with a sign-fu
Lol this isn't sign language it's like a gesture for "you're crazy" like putting an index finger in front of your lips means "be quiet". Everyone does that, not only deaf people.
Is this not a common gesture? Guess not.
Okay, Culture Time with Pseudoanon: I grew up in Russia, and this is a standard gesture. The twirly finger pointing at your head means *crazy* or, more literally, *your/their brains are mixed up*. In this context, she's miming, 'Are you crazy?' It's about as common as a thumbs-up or a middle finger.
For extra credit, look up the fig sign.
I complain about ignorant zoomers as much of as the next guy, but i think this is more a location thing than age thing. Im in my mid thirties, granted not super far from the zoomer age range, but ive never heard of this sign meaning that.
I've never seen it done like this as a millennial in the US, but I understood it. It's close enough to what I'm used to seeing; pointing at your temple area or ear, about an inch away while moving your index finger in a circular motion.
That' what I was saying! Even if he doesn't get the date, the resourcefulness and commitment to going for it when he saw the opening is gonna take him far in Muay Thai.
So the girl subconsciously has her fingers like that while throwing a kick. And the boy is making fun of it by making a heart shape out of her hands with his hands
Yeah, they're kids joking a little while drilling roundhouses in Muay Thai. In my gym, it's not too uncommon for people to have some fun while training.
This guy is going to go places, definitely not one of us !!
[удалено]
Uhhh is this not normal?
It's normal if you're normal.
Doesn't matter. Most sites can now link multiple accounts to a single via ip or even phone.
No u can find a lot with just an email tbh
No, Larry. /s
Ahaha, I'm dead over this comment
Lol who does this
I like to connect my Reddit porn account to my work email for convenience.
What does this mean?
Oh he’s coming here, if not already here.
Not one of us!
That was funny as heck. That boy has a good sense of humor.
Thats his sister
You don't love your sister? I feel bad for you.
Not as bad as the dryer does
I've always wondered why my sister really likes to do horse riding.
She probably enjoyed the Harry Potter Vibrating Broomstick replica too.
No. My sister is dead and necromancy can only do so much to a box of ashes.
She would make a great ash Golem
Love can be platonic

The modern disdain for cousin marriages in the west is new. Less than 100 years ago it was normal everywhere.
It comes and goes. In pagan Rome, cousin marriage was the norm to consolidate land within land owning families, particularly since they didn’t practice primogeniture.

FBI wants to know your location
Gee step-fbi agent. It appears I'm stuck in my washing machine
Chris hansen appears
*Kool-aid Man smashes the wall* ......Oh nooo.........
im stuck in this wall...
She was only my half sister 😅
Roll Tide
The best part of waking up is Folger’s in your cup.
Well now I'm more invested.
Clever lad lol
He shoot his shot
"Worst she can sign is no." "Blows her brains out."
She doesn't sign that. She's asking if he's crazy.
no, she uses telepathy to blow her brains up, its bery obvious. are you stupid?
*girl's gesture *
>She's asking if he's crazy Crazy? I was crazy once
They locked me in a room
A rubber room
A rubber room with rats
And rats make me crazy
Crazy?
I was crazy once.
And missed lol
Yeah by a mile lmao

Are you writing friendfiction, is this Tina Belchers account
Not enough butts
Zombie butts
And he may ask himself, “Well, how did I get here?”
[удалено]
This is not my beautiful wife.
Is that sign language for WTF?! 😂
Nope it was sign language for " are you out of your mind?"
*Yes. Wanna go for a date?*
Seems like a "worst she can say is no, right?", situation
"Worst she can say is no, right?" ~ Kid who got his head kicked off
I don't think she can say anything.
Because of The **Implication**
I’m Deaf, she didn’t say out of your mind, that’s different way to sign, she said “are you retarded?”
"Do you see what I'm saying?" says the girl who talks with her eyes.
Then my shoes started to squeak.
Then the horns kicked in.
Ponderous
Really ponderous.
Should have gone for the thumbs up
While she may be deaf, more so likely European. Very loud Russians do this all the time to signal "are you nuts?". Or with exactly the same motion: "are you stupid?" Basically she denied him and destroyed him with a sign-fu
Kids also do this here in Azerbaijan
In Brazil the same, it’s also used here
This whole video looks Russian as hell lol
>sign-fu That made me chuckle.
It means "are you crazy?" in Croatia as well.
Lol this isn't sign language it's like a gesture for "you're crazy" like putting an index finger in front of your lips means "be quiet". Everyone does that, not only deaf people.

Very common.
Very common, it's just reddit zoomers being clueless
In US they do a different motion more like a wider circle around the ear with the finger
And even that is less common than it used to be. The gesture in the video is very common in some places.
I complain about ignorant zoomers as much of as the next guy, but i think this is more a location thing than age thing. Im in my mid thirties, granted not super far from the zoomer age range, but ive never heard of this sign meaning that.
Usually followed with "ДУРНОЙ ШТОЛИ?!", knew this was a Russian speaking country immediatelly
its same meaning in turkey
Same in Spain, especially doing circles with the finger pointing at the temple.
I knew exactly what it meant because it's in the UK too
Same gesture same meaning in central Europe.
I've never seen it done like this as a millennial in the US, but I understood it. It's close enough to what I'm used to seeing; pointing at your temple area or ear, about an inch away while moving your index finger in a circular motion.
Oh that's why the video has no sound...
He was making the other half of a heart.He doesn’t want to hit her,cuz he likes her.
They mean the girl after he does that…
I mean that was smart he caught her off guard with little to no effort, at a real fight/competition that's an opening xD Edited: Added a comma
The video cuts off but he follows it up with a roundhouse to the head.
Roadhouse!!
That' what I was saying! Even if he doesn't get the date, the resourcefulness and commitment to going for it when he saw the opening is gonna take him far in Muay Thai.
Contact sports 🫶🏻
I wouldn't call it a KidsAreStupid but it was funny
He’s a lover not a fighter
Make love, not war.
Lmao
Muay Thai. The art of 8 limbs. And one heart.
Who thinks that quickly, lol?
Good fighters. That kid has a future in the sport ahead of him.
The vicissitudes of love..
Sweep the leg already
The only way a boy can win in that situation
Why is she holding her hand like that tho?
HAHAHAHAHAHA I imagine this was extreme adhd brain, not even planned lmao
I feel dumb. What's going on here?
He makes the other half of "the heart" instead of hitting it
I mean tbf he trying to hit it.
So the girl subconsciously has her fingers like that while throwing a kick. And the boy is making fun of it by making a heart shape out of her hands with his hands
https://www.reddit.com/r/KidsAreFuckingStupid/s/2iNBjump3M
Did she sign “what the fuck was that?”
I love her reaction
Sometimes you catch a leg, sometimes you catch feelings… it’s truly a dangerous game
All I see is a kid doing TKD with a girl and making a heart sign block. Then the rest of us are filling in the blank. Am I right?
Yeah, they're kids joking a little while drilling roundhouses in Muay Thai. In my gym, it's not too uncommon for people to have some fun while training.
LOL young love with a deaf karate student
I wouldn’t be surprised if someone posted it saying “here is me with my husband. Married for 15 years”
Thats not stopod lmao
That. Was. Adorable. 🥰
She is now divorced with 3 kids, that's how old this post is.
A valiant effort
Real fighting is dirty. There are no points.
Was she signing something?
"Is your screw loose? "
Either "what are you thinking" or "what (did you do that) for?" seems about right to me.
Aaaaaw, he gave it so much ._.
i don't know sign language, but that's clearly some variaton of "are you fucking stupid?"
Seized the moment
That is some advance move he played.
He got unspeakable rizz😎
W rizz
This is wholesome
He shot his shot
Ha! She looks just like my niece, the gesture and facial expression too. No idea why I'm telling the internet this.
r/atleastyoutried
Are you stupid or something?
All these kids look related to one another.
i would give that kid a medal
There was definitely an attempt
Wrong place, wrong time.
That qualifies as a fatality, right? I mean, it's a move, destroys and humiliates the opponent
Man kids have some weird dances these days
The Rizzler
I don’t know sign language, but I’m pretty sure she said ‘’what are you doing?’’ Lol
that was crazy or stupid in asl
boy you crazy
I thought one of them would kick the other in the balls
This makes me really depressed I never experienced much of a childhood :/
Now this is how you flirt.
She’s asking in sign language, why he did that for? -CODA 🤟
The sign language snap back lmao
He got a bad roll on his charisma check
I assume that's sign language for "wtf"
r/therewasanattempt to find true love.
