Hey! Soooooo since we're all stuck here, and going outside on this planet kinda sucks bigtime right now, I've been making it a project of mine to try and learn as much as I can about the different cultures of the other worlds people here are from! Particularly Earth, because there's so many of you! Someone told me the collective noun is "Earthlings"? Anyway.

I've been trawling through the media library, but to be honest, I'm not very good at sitting and reading for long periods of time. So I figured, why not just ask you guys instead?

Tell me one (or more!) thing about your home world that you think is culturally significant. It can be traditional, religious, social, or pop culture is fair game too! After all, it's no fun when people are making pop culture references that fly over my head.

The only rule is that you can't say the same thing as someone else. You ready? Go!

I have no idea what those are, but... sure.

There are a bunch of what we call "humanoid" species where I live. Species like togruta, who are human in shape, but slightly too different to be called humans. Like they have different skin colours or patterns, or they have tails, or claws. That kind of thing.

Ohhhh I gotcha! Hee, that's kinda neat! So do you know if any other worlds have "humanoids" like that?

[resnipstance]

I haven't really met any others so far that aren't from my world.

Oh-- though some worlds have "mutants"? I think that's a terrible name, by the way, not my choice.

[spontaneouscombustion]

Really? What's a mutant, and why's it terrible?

[Fluttershy's the zoologist, not her.]

[resnipstance]

Huh? Oh. Well, it's not terrible, exactly... originally, it just means someone that's mutated-- evolved-- beyond what's typically possible for their species.

But... it can have some pretty negative connotations. Like calling someone a "freak of nature."

[spontaneouscombustion]

Aw, that's really mean. So what do THEY like being called?

[resnipstance]

Apparently they're sticking with it! I don't know why. Seems kind of weird if you ask me.

[spontaneouscombustion]

Oh, okay. As long as I'm not hurting their feelings, that works!
