Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

I'm a world builder, so learning about other cultures and seeing how those inspire me is just something I do often for fun.
Same, though I'm the son of a Cuban immigrant so I don't fully fit into OP's question... that said, I don't have any African heritage.
In my D&D homebrew world, the Halfling culture live in a sub-tropical region. I modeled their culture, lifestyle, and traditional fighting techniques of those from Jamaica - particularly the machete martial artists. This is the video that inspired it for me.

¿Que bola, todo bien?

One of us, one of us!
I came here to say pretty much the same thing. It's even more interesting when you're working with a future-of-the-real-world setting, and so you actually have to think about how present-day cultures might evolve into the future.
