Social Media Indians - DESIGNATED SHITTING THREAD

I've got a fake Facebook account and for some reason I started adding a bunch of Liberians and Namibians and Ugandans to it. It's crazy stuff that they post. You get girls doing sexy poses outside a rusting tin shack and shit gutter like something out of a horror video game ... superzealous hyperreligiosity ... old women posing with beer bottles ... it's hard to explain how odd it is.

And they love adding strangers to their Facebook for some reason. Now that I have 70+ Sub-Saharan friends, I'm getting new requests on the regular.

YOU MUST POST IT!

I mean, I know a guy who lived in Nairobi for a year so I've heard stories about exactly how ultra-bizarre Africa can be.

You ain't hardcore until you spike your drink with battery acid! The slums of Nairobi have spoken! Enough said!

I think it's a product of people with little contact with the western civilization and being fairly new to the internet phenomenon.
Also, what they see as ok sometimes can be seen as horrifying for the rest of the world. Culture-clash, you know

A lot of these people don't know how the internet really works, and they think that people online are more or less like their neighboors, so they post pics that we see as funny/ridiculous/plain weird and think that the rest of the world will pat them on the back and say "well done, very good pic" like their family/friends do.
 
2. India has tons of languages and dialects that aren't mutually intelligible. "Hinglish", aka localized English learned and taught by non-native speakers is the closest they have to a true national language.

not to mention the fact these languages use several different scripts and belong to several different families, and the fact that English is one of India's official languages (along with Hindi); it was planned to be phased out, but stayed due to objections from the 1/3 of the country that can't speak Hindi
 
An indian was in a job interview for tech support.

The interviewer said, "Well Pahjeet you seem to have aced the written test, I just need to know how well you speak english. I would like you to make a sentence with the words green, pink, and yellow."

Pahjeet thought a bit, before answering, "Well, the phone, it goes green green, so I pink it up and say 'Yellow this is Pahjeet.'"

Even African witchdoctors are on Facebook nowadays. Like this guy:
https://www.facebook.com/drmanyaunyau/
https://www.facebook.com/jongo.sulum
Dr.Manyaunyau is known in Tanzania for performing witchcraft that involves biting off the heads of cats. Don't click the links if you're easily shocked, he's proud of his work. We live in strange times.

You know, I don't care much about Indian Social Media because it gets repetitive after awhile but I do have one story about travelling in India itself. Back in the early 1990's my father was hired as a shipping and inventory control consultant for one of India's largest shipping companies. That's not important. What's important is that it involved a bit of travel around the subcontinent so he was given a car and driver for some of the closer locations. As he was being driven from one place to another his driver needed to stop and get gasoline, so they stopped at a brand-new shiny 7-11 equivalent. My father goes inside to buy bottled water (a must) and was surprised to see a white guy with bright red hair working the register. He gets to talking to the dude and discovers the white guy is actually Irish. From Ireland. And the company running the store had hired a couple dozen Irishmen to come run the stores. So make of that what you will, but apparently the Irish are the Apu's of India.

Next on Uncle Karl's story hour: The time my father flew from Iran to Kabul on a whim several months before the Russian invasion.
 
We have two Pajeets straight off the boat living on my floor in my dorm this semester.

We had to have a floor meeting a couple weeks into the semester because """""someone""""" was tossing shitty toilet paper into the garbage can. This meeting consisted of a discussion about how used toilet paper goes into the bowl to be flushed.

Then we had to have another meeting a week later because """""someone""""" was using half a roll every time they wiped and was clogging up the toilets. There are now signs up in the bathroom instructing people how to properly use the toilet.

This post is also about that same """""someone""""".

I know in some countries the plumbing is so poor that the pipes can't handle toilet paper and you don't have the any place to wash your hands after you wash. Makes you appreciate that you don't live in literal shithole.
