Reddit - Beehaw until I decided I didn't like older versions of Lemmy (though it seems most things I didn't like are better now) - kbin.social (died) - kbin.run (died) - fedia.

Japan-based backend software dev and small-scale farmer.

  • When you get right down to it, cereal is just cold breakfast soup

    Jump

  • No it isn't; I do make soup out of my cereal like other weirdos.

    I tried milk on cereal twice, puked both times. I just always ate dry cereal.

  • Year 2000 problem (Y2K)

    Jump

  • I was at a friend's NYE party from 1999 to 2000. Someone flipped the breaker off as the countdown hit zero and we had a proper 'oh shit' moment until our eyes adjusted and we could see a bit of light from the neighbors' peaking in (just one tiny window at the top of the wall as it was a basement).

    TIL: Young Men Ages 18–29 are Turning Right-Wing and Women of the Same Age Turning Left-Wing

    Jump

  • The good news, I guess, is that people can get better. I was one of those people who moved further right in young adulthood. I'm glad the social media and such didn't exist then as I was not equipped to handle that by my upbringing and would have fallen right into that trap. We just had Limbaugh and Beck and the like. At some point, I pulled a 180 and, now in my mid-40s, find myself probably somewhere around center-left to left as most western European countries might define that.

  • The week Europe realised it stands alone against Russian expansionism

    Jump

  • Again/still/it really took you this long??

  • [Poll] What Lemmy/Piefed client(s) do you use?

    Jump

  • What am I supposed to do for Mbin?

  • Nvidia CEO Says You're "Insane" If You Don't Use AI to Do Literally Everything

    Jump

  • Pssht, as if I weren't insane before "AI" even existed.

  • YSK you need to resist digital ID

    Jump

  • I doubt it purely because the resistance to any form of functional national ID there with the party in power traditionally being the ones that oppose it. Crazier things have happened, though.

  • The wide range of girl body types

    Jump

  • At one point, it was considered cute/attractive. I don't know if it still is IRL (I don't notice it when out and about, but I also don't pay much attention to anyone's legs or feet), but it definitely has stuck around in drawn media.

  • People who have moved away from your home town/area, what do you miss most?

    Jump

  • US -> Japan. Mostly, I miss family. I have basically no love for the area in which I grew up nor contact with anyone there (half my family never lived there, the other half moved to another state).

    I do miss some foods that are hard to find or very expensive here. Things like PC parts are (or at least were) much cheaper in the US since it was generally a niche hobby device outside of business use here until quite recently.

  • Try These Thanksgiving Recipes Next Week

    Jump

  • a Z^-1 measuring cup can be used in a pinch.

  • The only grocery store in town now carries frozen sushi

    Jump

  • You can find it on sushi restaurant menus here in Japan, so that seems a rather pointless thing to gatekeep.

  • Burger King now selling "Mystery" menus

    Jump

  • I can't remember BK doing anything too crazy over here. Currently, the special thing is just a garlic sauce/topping, it appears.

  • Shrek

    Jump

  • I was in my 20s when Shrek came out. I've still never seen any of them. Maybe I'll get around to it one of these days.

  • The stolen heat!

    Jump

  • We don't have that problem and have a water heater (not tankless). I think they just do something different with the plumbing here in Japan most of the time.

  • Not to get all religous but was not Jesus pissed for people making money in churches? Didn't he flip tables and everything? Then how do churches nowadays explain the collection plate?

    Jump

  • Assume that this is an apocalyptic Jew before rabbinic judaeism. That should frame thinks a bit better. The problem, at least as I understand it, is people doing commerce, particularly for a profit, in a sacred space. I do t think the money was the problem in and of itself, but rather the execution and motive. In another story, biblical Jesus tells someone of wealth and power that what he needs to do is give all of that up and he was quite miffed (in a very tldr telling)

  • Military service will reportedly no longer classify 'divisive' swastika as 'hate' symbol

    Jump

  • The nazis used a variety of orientations of the symbol.

  • Non-US Lemmings, how is Christmas celebrated where you are?

    Jump

  • That song is EVERYWHERE here in Japan each Christmas and it drives me nuts.

  • Non-US Lemmings, how is Christmas celebrated where you are?

    Jump

  • From the US but in Japan. Christmas is a normal working day. Couples often go out for a date night. KFC's chicken (or another fried or roasted one) is a common staple for dinner.

    Family will get each other presents. I've heard it's more like one present, but I don't really know. I should ask the in-laws this winter when we go for New Years (the big family gathering time in Japan and NOT so much a big party time with lots of businesses closed).

  • Why do languages sometimes have letters which don't have consistent pronunciations?

    Jump

  • For cases where it sounds like another letter, why not just use that one?

    Which the other one? Within English itself, the same letter can be pronounced a number of ways. It's like when people want to "fix" English spelling, they always assume it's going to be their dialect that wins.
