Hello makers!
I've recently read an article on BBC about the supposedly Dutch art of "Dusking". It's a "nightly ritual whereby families sit in their apartment watching sunlight turn into dusk". It impressed me by how ridiculous this claim is. A simple human thing to do (saving on electricity cost until it is dark enough in the evening) was presented as an ethnic revelation.
So naturally I wanted to create a website that allows you to view this sorts of concepts from all countries around the world. Enjoy!
Are the generated philosophies completely random or do they follow some pattern based on real cultural practices? Love the humor behind this, well done!
The idea is that we take a common thing all humans do (like having dinner with friends outside), then pick a random country, pick a word in that country's language and pretend that this is a lifestyle concept unique to that country.
