was a symbol for dislike or death. In the middle ages, people would wave to the criminals being brought to the execution, and so it became a symbol for punishment and evil, and is sort of a swear action akin to the middle finger (though not as bad). Of course, in the modern era, kids wanting to be "hipster" brought it back and have begun using it for a greeting. It is slowly being more accepted as a symbol for greeting.

Salad is eaten without dressing, noodles are a mostly Eastern dish, and the sandwich is referred to as the welsh, because the idea of meat in between slices of bread was invented by Edward the Black Prince.

Hitler and Ava Braun. The nazi party was unique at the time, not only because they were such racist bigots, but because they also thought only women were smart enough to be leaders. Ava Braun was the villainess of World War 2 and the Holocaust, Hitler was her submissive lover/husband. They both committed suicide by ingesting cyanide when it was obvious they lost, just like in this universe.

...Dillon Synderson, who became famous for standing up against racism back in the days of the wild west, and was more merciful than most gunslingers since he just took away and destroyed the weapons of criminals, then brought them in to the authorities in most cases rather than killing them outright. Sadly, his days of heroism went to an end when a bunch of racists and criminals teamed up to kill him, but many other cowboys started to follow his morals and code of honour after his death.

sticking your hand in a bucket of icy water and seeing how long you can stand it. Also in this universe, the phrase "kicking the bucket" means that you're done with something and have given up, and it originated with this challenge (because, once your done, you kick the bucket).

A sudden winter coming, and Romans not being as well clothed as other people at the time. A lot of people, including royalty and people in high positions, were very vulnerable during this cold period and the Roman Empire's enemies that were more covered and well dressed for the cold were able to conquer them during this sudden winter while they were vulnerable.

Is common because ladders don't exist. Instead people do that when they want to reach high places.

Ancient alien technology. Aliens visited Earth during the Egyptian times, and dropped off some advanced technology. The Egyptians worshiped the aliens and their technology, but by now the machines are powerless and look silly, so modern archeologists just think the Egyptians were stupid for worshiping odd looking metal fragments.

is really just a suggestion, and not a rule of physics. You don't HAVE to be anchored to the ground if you don't want to.

Don't exist. Babies are trained to use piddle pads like puppies until they're big enough for toilets. People in this universe can also crawl and move around within an hour from birth. So the piddle pads are easily accessable to the babies.

have extrasensory perception of various kinds, increasing with age. The older someone grows, the greater their magical abilities will be. Therefore, you will find old people floating a few feet above the ground, or reading the thoughts of others, or throwing fireballs at kids who don't get off their property. Many governments are led by old people who have reached enlightenment, and have omniscience. A few people have even transcended beyond the physical world, and have explored new dimensions.

Hurinthrautis, which is quite the double edged sword: it disables the nerves capacity to feel and sense in general. While most people consider it bad, wrestlers and other people who participate in high risk sports/activities value it quite a lot, and some even purposely afflict themselves with the disease. It is really bad to overexert yourself with that disease, since people with it have been known to pass out or die without even realizing they're at their limits. People keep treating the disease like the power of invulnerability, when they don't realize how important it is to feel pain so they can protect themselves appropriately.

is frowned upon. Dirtiness is generally seen as better as cleaning, as if you clean it shows you have too time on your hands. So, it is often better to leave things dirty in that universe.

Ride unicorns, which exist in that universe. Each police officer is bonded to his or her unicorn for life and if the officer dies, the unicorn dies as well due to the bond. Unicorns are used in the police force because their fast running speed and magical powers are useful for catching criminals.

(inspired by an autocorrect fail where "uniform" corrected to "unicorn" and a new cop said "I just got my unicorn today")

are what we call board/card games, and vice versa. However, the same games are for them. For example, Fire Emblem is a card and board game, where you roll dice and move units across a board, and use the weapons, items, and classes displayed on the cards. Games like Uno and Monopoly are played on game systems, and are immensely popular.

You become uglier, therefore it is important to not lose things in general in that universe otherwise if you become too hideous, people will view you as a monster, and your life is ruined.

real, but they don't breathe fire and they're more akin to a part dinosaur part crocodile hybrid (so the shape of a dinosaur and the skin of a crocodile). They live in forests and are vegetarian, though they still use their teeth to attack anything that harms them or makes them afraid, though they've never been known to swallow any non-plant matter.

Is heavily monitored by health officials due to the use of bacteria in the curdling process, and eating non-processed cheese is viewed the same as bathing in mud: recommended by health officials, but viewed as strange (though not totally frowned upon) by regular people.

the Hand Race. People have to do handstands and walk 100 feet to the finish line. It can be slow, but many people find it exciting, and it is even in the Olympics.

(You were probably talking about race as in Caucasian or Oriental, but this is what I thought about first.)
