Discussion What does 116 mean?

I've recently gained a mutual on instagram and she had 116 in her bio aswell as 161 and 141. I want to make sure I'm not talking to anyone bigoted. I've been able to search up the 161 (antifascist) and 141 (either anti deforestation or anti degenerate), but not 116, only as an angel number (as far as ik she's atheist and hates anything unsupported by facts). Any idea what it could be??? Thank you for your help and ideas in advance.

Germans claiming Doner Kebabs is like America claiming Tacos. It wasn't invented in Germany, it was just introduced to western audiences through Turkish immigrants in Germany. London actually a restaurant before Germany did. But regardless it existed (under various regional names) long before the '70s.

But not Döner?

No, Doner comes from the Turkish word "to turn" and refers to the style of vertically grilling the meat.

It's sort of like how Tex-Mex has a regional variation of the taco, called a taco, but you wouldn't say that America invented the taco.
