In Polish, it’s “mam to w dupie”, or “I have it up my ass”, which actually sounds painful/rather a lot of effort about something you’re indifferent to.
Sounds like an elaborate way of saying "it's shit.".

#32In Thulu (dialect of Kannada), ajji shunti (grandma's ginger) is kind of saying "I don't give a rat's arse."

#33> Another French slang expression (also testicle-related) for not giving a fuck is “I’m painting my balls with the brush of indifference” If anyone has an idea of the original in french, I would be interested. I am French and I have no clue what he refers to.
Neither do I and I'm also french. I've checked on the french wiktionary[1] and in fact that's a real french saying. But I've never heard someone say this in my all life.

It's a more vulgar version of " https://fr.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/s%E2%80%99en_brosser_le_nom... ". However, I found it quite surprising to add such a rare thing but not the most usual things like "I've got nothing to wax" and its vulgar form.
That happens when you google idioms in other languages ... you have no clue about the actual usage. And they are usually not one-to-one.
German "das ist mir Wurst" is also a lot weaker than "zero fucks given", at least use something stronger like "das interessiert keinen Arsch" (no asshole cares). Also "zero fucks given" in the sense of "irresponsible, he just does it and doesn't care who gets hurt" doesn't really have an equivalent idiom. Maybe "als druff" (just go full power straight ahead) or something.

#36>It’s horseradish to me (Russian) Well, that's a one way to say it for sure, but that's almost the most delicate way, lol.
there's also "да не ебет", which means roughly, "well, it doesn't fuck me"

#37Isn't this mostly well-timed content marketing? > As we’re entering last-minute Christmas shopping time, it’d be remiss of me not to mention I have a book of lists like these
aren't most blogposts and articles shared here well-timed content marketing? Does it matter?

#38> 6. I don't give a frostbitten onion (Romanian)
Never heard anything even close.
The usual is "ma doare-n pula" which translates as "it hurts in my dick", or, "da-o-n pula" = "put it / send it in dick" if you're talking about something/somebody. Or you can just say "pula" (dick) in the correct context would translate the same.
EDIT: Forgot to mention the "censored", non-vulgar version: "ma doare tare" = "it hurts much", or just "ma doare" = "it hurts".

Seems to be a mix betwen of "Je m'en bats les couilles" and "Le train de tes injures roule sur les rails de mon indifférence", never heard the author version. I stand wrong on the etymology, see below. French-speaking here.
It exists as an entry in the https://fr.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/s%E2%80%99en_badigeonner_le... but I don't think I ever heard someone uses it. The non vulgar original version seems to be "s'en brosser le nombril avec le pinceau de l'indifférence" (To brush one navel with the brush of indifference) and found it's origin in the comic strip Achille Talon.
