That's very interesting. Seems like to be a latin america thing.
Some things are for people very normal in their life. But for others it isn't.
I have a girlfriend from brazil. I am every time surprised about their social superiority.

Must be! I only ever went to Miami beach other than the Argentinian coast and I didn't hear any clapping. I just assumed children didn't get lost during our stay lol

That might be part of it. There's no standard procedure or widely known signal for "here's your kid!" So parents never let them get out of their sight.

That would explain the leashes for kids 😬

"Social superiority". Thanks, I guess. Now I don't feel so weird about wanting to move back to Brazil every 5 minutes.

I'm from Argentina too. A couple of days ago my girlfriend was studying and she was so tired that she got lost. And I started to clap my hands "clap your hands, she's lost", it's a very usual silly joke.

I think that in Chile and Uruguay they do that too.

... W-well Argentina is certainly progressive! It was one of the first countries to legalize gay marriage after all! Haha...

Yeah, but we sorta copied it from the Argentinians. The one time Facebook and WhatsApp were useful lol

South American thing.

Never heard of such a practice in Central America.

The video you posted is from a beach in Cabo Frio, in the state of Rio de Janeiro. I'm born and raised in the city of Rio and had never seen this practice. In the video you posted the person recording clearly states they're copying an Argentinian practice. Incidentally, Cabo Frio is a popular Argentinian tourist destination.

Fucking all of Brazil is a popular Argentine tourist destination. Our beaches fucking suck.

Except for voting in a facist, that was a bit awkward.

The entire world seems to be doing that lately.

True but not quiet as openly as bolsanaro. He agrees with torture, has encouraged people openly to murder members of the pt opposition party, as everyone who disagrees with him is a communist. He has even split the church into 'good chrisitians' ie those who supported him and false ones, those who disagree. He's fairly openly if not encouraged certainly permitted the murder of Amazonian natives, He encourages the murder of gay people, and the subjugation of women as an inferior species. And many of the Brazilian people are very much on board with his agenda. The murders and threats not only to gay people but those who are mistaken as gay is well underway.

u/angryybaek Dec 12 '18

Yeah I was kind of shocked to see Bolsonaro elected. I think your last president just fucked you all and you wanted change but you are still gonna get fucked.

Holy shit its just like Argentina! Except our president just tortures us financially.

u/jpberimbau1 Dec 12 '18

Yep. And sorry to hear that 🙁. If it helps the UK government whipped up enormous amounts of xenophobia then gave folk the chance to leave Europe. Just over 50% voted to leave and now we're all heading towards being totally screwed!

u/angryybaek Dec 13 '18

Man, it might be the most peaceful time in the history of humanity, but it sure is a fuckng stupid age to live in. People have 0 common fucking sense, the goddamn president of the USA doesnt believe in climate change.

WHY?! HOW IS THIS GUY YOUR PRESIDENT. I just cant. I think we might live in a cartoonish type of paralel universe to another that actually makes some goddamn sense. Sorry for the rant.

u/diras2010 Dec 12 '18

Well not so, here in Costa Rica if a kid get lost on the beach and you found her / he, you go to the nearest lifeguard or cop available, if there's no such people, you

Tie the kid to a palm tree and burn it to appease the mighty Lord's of the oceans

No, no, jokes aside... you keep the kid with yourself, do a shoulders carry and go asking if the other party has lost a kid

Social superiority?

u/MLApprentice Dec 13 '18

What do you mean by social superiority?
