For example, I'm a white Jewish guy but I've adopted the Japanese practice of keeping dedicated house slippers at the front door.

A few jump to mind.

I say No Worries quite a lot.

I use chopsticks as much as a fork at home.

I take my shoes off inside.

I'll order a Pint.

What culture says "no worries"? I've heard it so much I thought it universal by now.

I picked it up from Aussie slang

[-] JoeClu@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Ah yes. Heard it from them too, quite often.

I'm Australian and always assumed it was Australian. It seems Australian but maybe we picked it up elsewhere.. likely Britain if anywhere.

Chopsticks I do use whenever they are easier (noodles, salad) and also for eating potato chips. I leave my shoes on though, we have dogs, it's a lost cause. Roomba runs about 3 hours a day.
