A Homeless Man In Brazil Went To The Hospital Overnight And His Six Dogs Waited For Him
The vast majority of the homeless male population in Brazil owns at least one dog. There are NGO's dedicated to treat their dogs when needed, shelters have to accomodate the dogs and they are usually fed before the owner himself eats.
I'm so glad there r people out there who that we r so full of love ❤️. Also we will never b worthy of their ❤️
Load More Replies...And the hospital is FREE. Because we have free healtcare. A homeless person can use it.
Okay so it’s not “free” exactly because it’s paid for by taxes, so someone is paying for it. I still like the idea but we can’t say it’s truly free.

While these images showcase the intriguing aspects of daily life in Brazil, we have some interesting facts about this fascinating country prepared for you! Did you know that Brazilians have a demonstrative love affair with their favorite footwear – flip-flops, also known as 'chinelos'? These rubber sandals are not only used as beachwear; you'll spot people wearing them everywhere, from fancy restaurants to business meetings. It's a laid-back and practical style that perfectly captures Brazil's relaxed attitude.
And speaking of relaxed, time in Brazil seems to have its own rules. 'Brazilian time' is a recognized cultural norm in the country where events often start later than scheduled. So, if you're told a gathering begins at 7 PM, don't be surprised if things kick off closer to 8 PM. It's a charming quirk that shows how Brazilians prioritize enjoying the moment over sticking rigidly to the clock.

For real though, can we make parasols an everyday thing again? I have super light skin and almost white blonde hair, which means I go from ghost to lobster in the sun, there is no in-between. (Sunburn, sun allergy, migraines, dizziness, the whole nine yards). So I walk around with an umbrella whenever it's sunny, even if it's not super-hot. People tend to stare and make smartass comments about it all the time (Like: "oh my god you are so pale, ditch the umbrella and get some sunlight, geez") and it's super annoying

Gentle hands. Same with horses - it is not leverage, it is a signal.

(And then my favourite part) You can't say everybody's got a water buffalo, everyone does not have a water buffalo! We're going to get nasty letters saying 'where's my water buffalo?' and are you prepared to deal with that? I don't think so! So stop being so silly! :)
Load More Replies...Yes it is ethical. In my home country buffalo's are kept for many reasons and this is one of them. Horses are too expensive and collars chaff their necks. This way is actually causing them less pain. And is more practical since yiu can control it if the buffalo is out of control.
Load More Replies...Let's not forget about 'cafezinho,' the Brazilian way of enjoying coffee. It's not just about the caffeine fix – it's a social ritual. Brazilians love their coffee strong, often sipping it at various points throughout the day. And if you're offered a 'cafezinho,' accepting is not just about the drink itself, but also about embracing the culture of connection.

Brazilians have a natural rhythm in their blood, and you might catch them dancing in unexpected places. From spontaneous samba sessions in the streets to impromptu drum circles, you'll quickly learn that music is a language everyone understands.
So there you have it, a glimpse into the fascinating, funny, and sometimes wonderfully awkward aspects of Brazilian daily life.

Not in some regions of São Paulo's countryside. They are quite frequently hunted, though, poor onças. Hunting them is an old Paulista tradition dating from our native ancestors, and that is hard to stop. Every family has a tale of the "caçada da onça". How old that tale is will tell you how much time has passed since their family moved away from the countryside.

Mayor Prohibits Bars From Putting Tables On Sidewalks. Here Is Their Solution
I mean, this is Brazil, not the US. Most of the times, nobody ever sues anyone over anything, even when they should. Fell on a supermarket because the floor was wet? Well, you are going to be forced to clean the mess you left when you fell and pay for any items you might have damaged. Stumbled from a staircase that is not up to code? Well, why didn't you look where you were putting your feet? Brazilian law considers gaining money by suing someone indecent, and has historically harsh limitations on how much one can earn this way, no matter how right they are, in order to impede anyone from getting rich out of that.

I'm a bi woman, mainly attracted to women. She has fabulous boobs but I can also keep that fact distant from the matters at hand and consider political debates. Are men unable? Or are they less able as they dont get the opportunity to see boobs as often as women?
Sure, like anything repetition builds tolerance but who offers that training? Male genitals suck all the blood from your brain when stimulated, or antagonized is a better term. The core biological prerogative sets in which is, "must do what she wants so she likes me so we can mate." It's why straight guys become dumb and obsequious around pretty women. Mastering biological impulses takes willpower and repetition, like not farting after tacos. That same impulse is VERY closely associated with rage, and poor impulse control leads to assaults. Testosterone makes great muscles but bad decisions.
Load More Replies...Brazil has no dress code. I've seen bank tellers (women) with plunging necklines. So this does not seem that strange to me.
The pressure on Brazilian women to have cosmetic surgery is extremely strong. They have one of the highest rates of major cosmetic procedures in the world.

Literal Poverty Divide In Brazil
Seems to me the rent in that place has gotta be pretty low; after all, how the hell can you enjoy your pool when you’re looking out over favelas? We have nothing like that (that I can see) in Harlem. I’d feel horrid if I were living somewhere posh that overlooks abject poverty, and couldn’t enjoy it for a minute. 😰
Apartments in that building are actually quite expensive, beginning at half a million. The building, whose name is "Penthouse Morumbi" has become a national symbol for inequality and some people, believe it or not, find that appealing.

Unfortunately the far right has overtaken the image of the Brazilian flag. After 4 years under the Bolsonaro government, being seem wearing the flag or its colors will immediately flag you (pun non intended) as a supporter of Bolsonaro's crimes. Even during soccer matches, most people will now wear the secondary uniform (a blue one), to avoid walking about in green and yellow.
I was just wondering about that. Unless there is a sports match, the Aussie flag has gone in a similar direction, though maybe not as extreme.

Well these criminals joined together and formed the Yakuza. And cause the plain stripes looked boring, they inked themselves with other motives, leading to the bodysuit tattoos. This practice is also one of the reasons, why japanese believe, that tattooed people are evil.

They went dressed in their work costumes because that day the Town Hall was to vote on banning the "trens da alegria" (Joy Wagons), a form of entertainment in which performers wearing costumes drive through the city in open cars, fake trains and similar modes of transportation singing and/or taking kids for a ride.
