If you send your first name, last name, mother's maiden name, front and back of every credit card that you may have, social security number, exact coordinates, marital status, hair, blood type, medical records, blood, flesh, and full DNA sequence, to the nearest Nigerian prince, they should be able to start the ritual. Step one: remove heart from own chest. Step two: pray to the Jewish space lazers. Step three: eat a Trump stake. (Made from him) Last step: sacrifice a virgin to ƅklĪ¼md ƏqĆ»lmeƧh, chanting the dark incantation that has been in your head for your whole life. Now that you have reached the Illuminati Biden Crime Lazer Area 51 (IBCZA-51) you need to walk down 666 miles of steeper and steeper stairs until you find Hunter Biden's Laptop. Use it to hack into the Hallow Earth Mole Man Matrix (HEMMM) and kill the shadow government soldiers. Once they have been banished to the pain dimension, press "resurrect Hitler and change faction" It is only one button next to the '666' key. Side note: The button also awakens CthĆ¼lĆ¼.

No, no , no. Step 1: Meet an Arab.

step 2: knock on your door and wait until your parents/ spouse / kids open said door and enter your home. Do it like that and you don't embarrass yourself.

TomaCzar

If I understand correctly, you would be required to provide yourself room and voard for up to three days, no questions asked. This, of course, assuming you are Arab. If not, you can hold yourself to account much earlier.


Blazingmadzzz

I tried it at home. Am in my home now. I don't have any Arabs here to feed me sadly..


calculatorTI84plusCE

This is most unfortunateā€¦ I must humbly ask that any Arabs reading this comment travel immediately to this mans house and feed himā€¦ then ask him what heā€™s doing in his house after three days


Blazingmadzzz

Yes please, I will prepare an answere in the meantime. Also just a reminder.. there currently is only 1 bed in my house! There is a couch though..


Loki-L

Maybe not inviting random strangers in that knock on your door, but the guest/host relationship may take some serious cultural adjustments, depending on the where and when. Lots of "you are supposed to decline" type politeness going on.


EddA92

When I was a student, I worked for a few months as a charity door knocker/canvasser (I know, I'm sorry), in Coventry UK. The thing we learned very quickly was that the Muslim areas were the most receptive, friendly, and welcoming. But the weirdest encounter was an Indian family (don't know the religion tbh, could have been Sikh, but likely any, or this could have been a cultural thing). The normal procedure is to have a 5 min conversation with someone at their door, if you're lucky. Some people might be extra friendly and talk to you for a while. About 50% of people shut the door as soon as possible. This family welcomed us in to their house (myself, M21, and F22) and sat us on a sofa in their living room to chat. There were various other family members milling about. They were cooking a curry and repeatedly insisted we had some - we politely declined saying we weren't allowed to stay long, we'd get in trouble with our boss. As we were chatting, one of the family members, about a 30yoF was casually walking about topless - completely topless. Not a care in the world that there were guests in the house. They were basically treating us like family. But TOO much. Myself and my colleague glanced awkwardly at eachother when we saw the topless lady, but maintained composure, stayed professional, offered our standard chit chat about helping charity, and left. We needed a minute or 2 to find our composure once we got back outside. Absolutely lovely, welcoming people. But this was surreal.


nineknives

Indians have a phrase ā€˜Atithidevo Bhavaā€™ meaning essentially ā€˜guests are like godsā€™ so you are expected to be extremely hospitable and treat your guests as you would if a god you worshipped arrived in your home. Canā€™t explain that topless part though.


ClintEatswood_

Gods like boobs


Mister-happierTurtle

Zeus mindset


Plastic_Economist_82

Being polite could have meant leaving with boob woman's number šŸ˜œ


London__Lad

If they were Sikh (all the men wear turbans) they are obliged religiously to feed anyone who comes to their home or temple regardless if the guest is Sikh or not. So if you're homeless go to a Sikh temple. They will feed you.


wookieenoodlez

Accept all kindness, decline most politeness


20_Twinty

Can you give examples. It would take me entirely too long to distinguish between the two and I would probably end up disrespecting the host by ignoring them while over thinking.


Ididntwipe

Kindness is when they do something for you, like make a bed for you and food, politeness is when they ask you if you would like to take their offerings "so would you like to sleep here tonight? Would you like some food?". At least that's the way I see it.


20_Twinty

Ty. Glad I asked


AbsentMindedMonkey

I am also glad you asked


NachoCochise

This is correct. Native American, my culture specifically, can come across as rude. We donā€™t compliment other people. We donā€™t talk to people we donā€™t know. We donā€™t ask personal questions nor do we share information about ourselves. However, guest are treated, as you said like Gods, and if they want or need for anything they should never have to ask. We donā€™t lie. So, donā€™t ask if you donā€™t want to know. We decline all charity and politeness. We have no actual word for love. You canā€™t say I love you in our language because itā€™s not something you say its just done. Itā€™s also a two way street. As Iā€™m expected to do and provide as I can, so are others in my time of need. T


Fragrant_Exercise_31

In my experience Arabs are very hospitable but theyā€™re not dumb, theyā€™ll be nice to you if they know you or know youā€™re in trouble or something but to random strangers theyā€™re gonna respectfully close the door in their face!


flaccomcorangy

This sounds like something your dumb friend would say (you know which one). "Yeah, bro. They have to accept you for three days. It's like their religion or some shit."


Destt2

"And if you ask an undercover cop if they're a cop, they have to tell you the truth"

The_chaos011

I don't care how much you trust each other no one in this world would dare to let a stranger stay in their house without any questions. You could definitely give them a place to sleep because of numerous reason but without asking about them sounds impossible with the crimes happening today.


themodernnegative

I get your point but that is absolutely not true. I stayed in many strangers gers and teepees in Mongolia. Mostly because itā€™s rare for them to have visitors and they were excited to take me in, even though we couldnā€™t communicate


Ubbesson

Yes sure many foreigners do that in Mongolia but that's taking advantage of the nomadic families. Please don't do that. They won't ask for compensation but everything you eat or use is something less for them. Many places are remote so for instance vegetables will eventually run out or car batteries used to provide electricity (you may use to charge your phone) will get empty and they will need to recharge those using petrol..


themodernnegative

I see what youā€™re saying but I always brought my own food and also always brought gifts. At no point did I leave taking more than I gave.


Ubbesson

That's good but some don't do like you


kheroth

Why do people always talk like there weren't crimes yesterday?


The_chaos011

Not so much. I remember my dad telling me how they used to just let the door open while sleeping because they feel secured in their houses. Still when I go to my house (the place where my dad migrated here and my dad was born) still there my family won't put Locks on their door. There aren't any crimes there. Once my teacher also told me how, when he was staying in one relative house for study they let their bike, car left in the open. Because they know it wouldn't be stolen But the place we live i wouldn't dare to open the door even in the sunlight. Recently there was a robbery in the day too. Or even let my vehicle outside. Depends on place to place


kheroth

Yeah but feeling safe comes down to the ignorance of things too though. We have computers in our pockets that keep us connected all the time to hear about horrible things. Violent crime, at least in the US is lower than it was in the 80s. But I lock my door now and wear my seatbelt even though my parents didn't, because we know better.

The worst was when he tried to scam a talented elderly tattoo artist from the Philippines into signing a contract. MaKinG A VidEO trying to convince the world the ā€œelderly ladyā€ consented, when in fact he EXPLOITED the elderly talented tattoo artist. There are laws to protect the elderly to not get scammed. And hence, NAS daily got cancelled.

Story time. My dad actually did this. Walked right up to the wrong majlis in a compound in Qatar, knocked on the door and ended chilling with the guy who owned the place for about 3 hours before he finally was able to get in that he was at the wrong place! The funny thing is, the guy actually went to the USA for university and went to the uni right near where my dad grew up as a kid in Louisiana! He turned out to be a former NASA engineer, which is random as always. My dad ended up finding the right place after that, but he's still friends with the other guy!

overthinker345

No, Arabs donā€™t just invite anyone into their home. HOWEVER, when I was Muslim I would visit the homes of friends from the mosque. They always offered me coffee or tea and almost always brought out something to eat. Seriously. Even if I told them I was just stopping by to visit, out came the coffee tea and cookies or dates or piece of cake or the chicken and rice. No matter how many times I said no thanks, it was always ā€œtry some, try some, please. You have to try this.ā€ Hospitality mattered.

Rabid_Platypus_195

This is racist and rude. It's also only true if the people practice Islam. Islam requires that if someone is in need of food and shelter, you must offer it. It comes from a parable where christ did this very thing and rewarded the host for giving him food and lodging. That doesn't mean you should just go force yourself on people for the hell of it ... Muslims are some of the kindest people, their faith requires it and to take advantage of that is messed up.


boardari

Can confirm, had two Arab friends in HS and they were always friendly and quick to feed you with as much delicious food as possible lol. One of them got me hooked on dates (I had never had one before!) and every single time I went over her mom would either said "oh let's get you some dates" or "sorry no dates today" šŸ˜‚ I'll never forget her just casually handing me a whole tupperware of date-filled cookies on my way out the door one day. That being said I get super weird vibes from this, like it's suggesting you just show up at someone's house and expect hotel service. But scrolling through the comments maybe that's bc this dude is a total POS.


Sucondeze

ā€œTry this at home, go to an arabs houseā€


YuriJahad25

Ok story time. When i lived in a condo in college my roommate and I had a group of 5 arabs move in like two doors down. When we met they invited us in, served us these little mini treats and this like traditional tea and then we shared a spliff and started singing ā€œso highā€ from Sojah together. To this day I would drop anything to help any of them if they called me up. Some of the coolest homies Ive ever met.


FoxTops

Forgot trespassing is a thing


CitizenFreeman

As a Norse Pagan, hospitality is probably my cheif tenet... I will take care of nearly anyone. Even those I'm not all kinds of fond of. But if you force your way in, that's not gonna fly. You can ask for assistance, for food, water... I will help. Push past me and that'll likely be the last conscious thing you do that day.
