For those of you outside the U.S. who don’t know, Thanksgiving is basically a simultaneous celebration and revision of the genocide of the indigenous peoples of North America where people eat turkey and disgusting green bean slop.
I, for one, enjoy said green bean slop, especially with extra fried-to-unrecognizable onion strings
🤢 You can have my share, then. Lol.
You can make it sound gross, but you may be damn well surprised if you ever try some of it.
The backstory is revisionist bullshit, sure. But in modern reality it’s basically just a yearly harvest meal to spend with your family and friends.
Just don’t ask the racist uncle whether the backstory is revisionist bullshit.
Can’t say I’m a fan of a country-specific holiday being featured like this in an intentionally neutral and international instance. Would have much preferred to see something for the trans day of remembrance.
Well I’m the owner of lemmy.world, and I’m Dutch. But still I know what Thanksgiving is, and many users are from the US, so why not?
But I do agree we should also feature days like the Trans day of Remembrance. Maybe we could create a community-created list of special days?
It’s not really a neutral international instance though. Try posting non-US news to !news@lemmy.world and see what happens.

Well that’s some high grade bullshit. “The World’s Internet Frontpage”.
It’ll go unnoticed, but I think it’s appropriate to remind Americans that theyre co-opting terms like “news” to mean “American news”.
Yeah, a lot of Americans would be with you in that sentiment.
It’s a turkey for the American Thanksgiving holiday.
A turkey, a reference to Thanksgiving in the US which is tomorrow.
it’s quite nice mix of a turkey and a lemming
I thought someone would answer quickly, 85 second in this case, so I was ready to put the flare that reads : [solved]Thanks be given to you dear Leni.
Thanks also to @EndOfLine for the same
It’s a Turkey, a bird native to North America. In the US, it’s tradition to eat turkey on Thanksgiving Day, a major fall holiday in America which takes place on the lasy Thursday of November, which is tomorrow.
last Thursday of November
Ackchyually, Thanksgiving is celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November.
This is different from the last Thursday, because 2 out of every 7 Novembers tends to have a fifth Thursday.

Hey, including this one!
I asked this yesterday in the matrix room. It appears it’s for the US Thanksgiving. It’s a turkey btw.
