"I wasn't complaining"

FYI that's intentional

Cross-referencing the list of areas served from the Wikipedia page for Arby’s with a map of which countries commonly have bidets, we can determine that this tweet is funniest in the nations of Egypt and Türkiye.

Side-note: Why does Wikipedia still spell the country’s name as Turkey rather than Türkiye?

Hi, turkish person here it was cringe as hell for our dictator to change the international name to Türkiye. Which is the turkish nsme of the country. We prefer deadnaming it cause fuck Erdoğan

If you miss being named after the bird now, you might be interested in this petition: https://www.change.org/p/change-the-name-of-this-bird-to-t%C3%BCrkiye

YES PLEASE LMAOO

Same reason it's Japan, Germany, China, etc.

I thought it had been accepted as an exonym, not just an endonym

[-] alcoholicorn@lemmy.ml 4 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago)

It's still gaining acceptance. The Turkish government doesn't get to decide their own name any more than the CPC gets to decide what the english term for the Communist Party of China is or any of dozens of indigenous american tribes got to choose their tribe name english or what they're referred to as collectively.

(to be clear, it's needlessly disrespectful not to use what they tell you their name is)

Communist Party of Zhōngguó

Fixed that for you.

Sure, but you can't expect english-speakers to pronounce tones. Imagine Georgians expecting english-speakers to pronounce საქართველო or god forbid, or Bantus expecting english-speakers to pronounce their term for South Africa in Xhosan.

It would probably have to be updated in each place it is used, and these articles are unlikely to be frequently updated. It’s only had that name for a few years.

Poll time:

Would you rather have a STICKY BUTT or a STINKY BUTT?

[-] Darkassassin07@lemmy.ca 6 points 12 hours ago

Having to peal your ass cheeks apart to take a shit seems really unpleasant...

[-] toynbee@lemmy.world 4 points 12 hours ago

Why not both?

[-] luciole@beehaw.org 5 points 13 hours ago

Ah, good question sir. I'd go for stinky as this seems to me the default butt state, as one goes through the hours of an active day rich in butt crack sweat. On the other hand, a sticky butt sounds absolutely unbearable. Think of the hair! No way. I don't care if it makes my buns smell like cinnamon.

Just keep him away from the horsey sauce

[-] NoIWontPickAName@kbin.earth 3 points 10 hours ago

He’ll either only do it once or forevermore

[-] TheTechnician27@lemmy.world 5 points 14 hours ago

Bidets are literally the best, though, and for $40-ish, they're one of the cheapest ways to make your daily life more pleasant (and save you money).

[-] Fester@lemm.ee 3 points 14 hours ago

This place is fucked, I’m going back to work at Wendys

[-] distantsounds@lemmy.world 1 points 12 hours ago

Arby’s understands the soul crushing doom you face. Thank you for considering Arby’s during the apocalypse. Just remember, it will be something.
