For those of you outside the U.S. who don't know, Thanksgiving is basically a simultaneous celebration and revision of the genocide of the indigenous peoples of North America where people eat turkey and disgusting green bean slop.

[-] jayemar@lemm.ee 26 points 10 months ago

I, for one, enjoy said green bean slop, especially with extra fried-to-unrecognizable onion strings

[-] TootSweet@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

🤢 You can have my share, then. Lol.

[-] Bazoogle@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

You can make it sound gross, but you may be damn well surprised if you ever try some of it.

[-] treadful@lemmy.zip 19 points 10 months ago

The backstory is revisionist bullshit, sure. But in modern reality it's basically just a yearly harvest meal to spend with your family and friends.

[-] TootSweet@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

Just don't ask the racist uncle whether the backstory is revisionist bullshit.

It's a turkey for the American Thanksgiving holiday.

[-] shinigamiookamiryuu@lemm.ee 22 points 10 months ago

A turkey, a reference to Thanksgiving in the US which is tomorrow.

it's quite nice mix of a turkey and a lemming
I thought someone would answer quickly, 85 second in this case, so I was ready to put the flare that reads : [solved]

Thanks be given to you dear Leni.
Thanks also to @EndOfLine for the same

Can't say I'm a fan of a country-specific holiday being featured like this in an intentionally neutral and international instance. Would have much preferred to see something for the trans day of remembrance.

[-] ruud@lemmy.world 11 points 10 months ago

Well I'm the owner of lemmy.world, and I'm Dutch. But still I know what Thanksgiving is, and many users are from the US, so why not?

But I do agree we should also feature days like the Trans day of Remembrance. Maybe we could create a community-created list of special days?

[-] TootSweet@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

Yeah, a lot of Americans would be with you in that sentiment.

[-] my_hat_stinks@programming.dev 3 points 10 months ago

It's not really a neutral international instance though. Try posting non-US news to !news@lemmy.world and see what happens.

[-] doleo@kbin.social 6 points 10 months ago

Try posting non-US news to !news and see what happens.

Well that's some high grade bullshit. "The World’s Internet Frontpage".

It'll go unnoticed, but I think it's appropriate to remind Americans that theyre co-opting terms like "news" to mean "American news".

It's a Turkey, a bird native to North America. In the US, it's tradition to eat turkey on Thanksgiving Day, a major fall holiday in America which takes place on the lasy Thursday of November, which is tomorrow.

[-] cbarrick@lemmy.world 23 points 10 months ago

last Thursday of November

Ackchyually, Thanksgiving is celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November.

This is different from the last Thursday, because 2 out of every 7 Novembers tends to have a fifth Thursday.

Hey, including this one!

[-] Asudox@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago

I asked this yesterday in the matrix room. It appears it's for the US Thanksgiving. It's a turkey btw.
