Only relevant if you talk to a Bedouin living in the desert. Otherwise bidet culture is pretty big in MENA.

I think the first Spiderverse movie, if I remember correctly. It was great, it set a new standard for animation in general.
Nuclear energy is really difficult and expensive to produce though. France for example is the biggest European player in nuclear energy, but they actually need to import dirty energy from Germany, because the cooling in their nuclear power plants is super-expensive.
On paper, nuclear power sounds great. In reality though. so much knowhow, money, time, energy, research and public education is needed to implement them.
How big "anti-imperialism" is as an ideology in countries ravaged by America and the former Soviet-bloc.
I'm of Iraqi descent and whenever I visit home I see people supporting extreme ideologies like Islamism or Stalinism or some unholy mix between the two, which is always nuts for me. They are super-political, but they never vote, because that means the "imperialist system wins". They use anti-imperialism as a justification for anti-LGBT, anti-feminist, anti-democratic, anti-religious and anti-secularist hate.
Otherwise the people are very nice, but if any major political/cultural topic is being mentioned, they go full doomer mode.
I get why anti-imperialism is so big in Iraq, but actually experiencing it, is really crazy.
