Explanation for the french one : onion is an old slang for anus. So "mind your own onions" is an old-fashioned way to say "mind your own ass"

First time seeing this. Much more common one is "тебя ебать не должно" or a version without swearing: "не суй свой нос в чужие дела*
"First time seeing this. Much more common one is "you shouldn't give a fuck" or a version without swearing: "don't stick your nose into other people's business*"
Is that an accurate translation? If so... Very similar to sayings in the U.S.
Yea, translation is spot on

That's not a common British expression, at least, perhaps someone says it.
It was fairly common in the US decades ago, but you don't hear it as much now. You're more likely to hear it with "business" instead of "beeswax" when you do.
Business is the original idiom and it didn't originally mean "stay out of mine." It originally meant to should make your own prosperity your primary focus. A similar modern phase that would capture what it originally meant might be "Keep hustlin."
It was fairly common in the US decades ago.
It's an old expression, but it checks out.

Mexico very similar to chile : "no tienes vela en el entierro".. English: you do t have a candle in this burial".
Similar to another English idiom: You don't have a dog in this fight.
"Quien te dió vela en este entierro?", en Argentina. Se puede asumir que es algo de hispanoamerica al menos. Also, maybe it's better to translate it like "you don't have a candle in this funeral" maybe? I don't know if english speaking people hold a vigil for the dead like we do. Burial while is a more direct translation, I don't think it really represents the spirit of the adage.
I'm from Chile and I have never heard of that one. But a lot of: y a voh, ¿quien te movió la jaula, culiao?
Como nunca hay escuchao "y quién te dió velas en este entierro?"
Te juro que no, pero si el "y a voh, quien te dio ficha?"
It's funny that the Dutch version is pretty close to what the English one should be: bemoei je met je eigen zaken, literally mind your own business.
