It's from the lottery. Their lottery has animals associated with numbers and 24 is related to "veado," which means "deer" in English. Veado is a slur for gay in Brasil.
Little known fact, but straight men in Brazil aren't taught math. That way they can escape the horrors of the number 24 and never accidentally turn gay.

Viado is the slur. But they are pronounced the same

Thank you for the context but that is still the fucking stupidest thing I've ever heard. So tired of patriarchy.

"Swear to god; if I see a number 24 I'm just gonna start bumming guys all over the place"

"23 and Me" takes on a whole new meaning.

But if they add 23 and 1, won’t that make them gay when they work it out? Plus won’t they be gay for being 24 anyway?
I dunno. Just seems like they are being stupid.

Seems pretty close to "Anus". Better change your language quickly before it rewires your brain to be gay like some sort of gay "Arrival" alien.

In Spanish "años" would be "years" and "anos" would be "anuses". No idea about Portuguese though
Skullgrid@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 153d
portuguese just writes Anos for "Years"
Not even Anhos, which is what they use instead of ñ

But what if you're turning 24 and you are gay? Do they make a candle for that?
