    They all have something. It’s like just statistically inevitable, since none of them were really designed.

    Pretty much every culture other than progressive Western has stronger extended families, which is nice. Squatting is a great way to sit if you start young. Both eating everything with four legs except a table, and being vegetarian are more logically consistent dietary preferences. Toilet paper is dumb.

    Languages are pretty similar. English has some nice features, but having a word for the day before yesterday would be handy, for example.

      Norwegian have forgårs which means the day before yesterday. It’s used a lot, it’s surprising English does not have a word for this. Is the most common way: 2 days ago?
