What’s a mere decade or two in the grand scheme of television?

I like this concept, but might it be more successful if posted at an hour with higher Lemmy traffic?

Can we assume that the average Lemming will remember an odd game from a show so long off the air?

I’m amused by all the “don’t harass people!” disclaimers.

Until it hits you with the

I thought this was implying there were 11 Fantastic Beasts movies and I was like “omg why”

Don’t forget the air pollution!

Sidewalks are quite rare outside major corridors in space-constrained Japan (you’re often lucky to get so much as a gutter or a hint of a shoulder to walk/cycle on), so this is an overdue move indeed.

Pictured below is a pretty normal street width/layout in both rural and urban Japan, and the street I lived on was about 30-50% narrower than even this, and had high walls on either side (zero setbacks).

And as an adult:

I too came to the comments section just to comment on those beautiful old floors.

At least in my experience, OpenStreetMap has far, far superior depictions of hiking trails. Edge case I know, but still, it demonstrates that Google maps does not actually reign fully supreme and can be bested.

Only if you want to; the message is basically the same and the word size is currently well-proportioned to the image.

Too late, that money already went to the shareholders.

(Also thanks, this is awesome!)

Any interest in making one that says “Just say no to AI slop #neverslop”?

Nearly all dietary studies are correlation studies, unfortunately.

FYI chewing gum is made of plastic. So there’s that.

Can we keep the “no smoking inside commercial establishments” policy at least? Otherwise I’m down.

It should still be pretty obvious what the results were, as “OMG I’m pregnant!!!” and “ohthankgod I’m not pregnant” are two very different expressions.

How dare you use my likeness for such filth.

(For the botanically-disinclined, those are fireweed flowers in the photo.)

There’s diversity for sure. Old, rural, traditional Japanese homes are huge, most apartments are tiny, and standard single-family homes are usually somewhere in-between. The layout pictured here is most common in houses and apartments with multiple occupants; single-person apartments (especially cheaper or more modern ones) often have a more western-style “unit” bathroom with everything shoved into one room. But there’s a lot of variety; for instance some places have the sink and tub/shower together while the toilet is separate. Japanese homes (especially apartments) often only have one bathroom, so separating out the bath, toilet, and sink/vanity is actually a space-saving compromise, because one person can be using the toilet, one taking a bath, and another brushing their teeth all at the same time with relative privacy without the need for a second (or third) bathroom.
