- Comment on What if it's actually pronounced "Arstralia," and we never realized because of the accent? 4 hours ago:
Arsestralia lol
- Comment on You can bluntly comment on someone being fat or short in China and it's chill, but people get offended the moment you imply they're old... 1 day ago:
“old” also means less healthy. No one wants to have backpain and the like.

This stereotype isn’t China-specific, though. For Japan, the cutoff point would be WW2, which is the same as for most of Europe.

Interesting, seems like a very gendered issue.

Don’t east asian countries put tons of value on seniority? Is this changing, is china just not like that, or is there something else that I’m misunderstanding?
- Comment on visiting family back in switzerland for the weekend & airspace home gets closed🤪 3 days ago:
There’s worse places to have an unwanted pregnancy than Switzerland …
- Comment on Make a note 6 days ago:
I already made that mistake once. Incredibly shitty night. Half of one would have had me zoning the fuck out and I ate two …
- Comment on Employa destroya 🫵😫 1 week ago:
OP’s post is punching down (which OP said they find funny, even though they don’t seem to agree with the idea that workers are to blame - that’s not sarcasm, that’s just OP being and weirdo IMO), while the very obviously sarcastic comment is treated as if it’s serious.

And yet here you are, mocking the workers.
- Comment on Newish to Fediverse - do I use one account across all services? 1 week ago:
You can do that, but fediverse and threadiverse (Mastodon and Piefed/Lemmy/Mbin) are very different kinds of websites and it will lead to unexpected weirdness. Best to make a separate account for each type of thing (i.e. one for the twitter-like experience, one for the reddit-like, one for the instagram-like etc.).

I heard that depending on the toilet design, flushing with the lid down is even worse.
- Comment on When DinoCon is doing more than the US Gov 1 week ago:
AFAIK most billionaires become so by birth, even if the most prominent are the ones who made their fortune through their own exploits.
Becoming a billionaire by birth isn’t evil in itself, it’s the act of staying a billionaire.
- Comment on Not gonna lie, I kind like it 1 week ago:
I’ll put it on the pile for things I should do (checking vitamin levels is already there TBH).

The right bubble is a lot higher than the left one, you’d probably read that one first even if this layout was used in a western comic.
- Comment on Really tall people see others differently. For example, they see more of others' heads and less of others' bodies. They also see more of the background. 2 weeks ago:
When in doubt, keep your distance. You don’t have to slouch as much and I don’t have to look up as much.
- Comment on Not gonna lie, I kind like it 2 weeks ago:
Can confirm, I feel old and tired all the time. Not gonna fuck around (in a bad way) with my partner. Unfortunately, I’m also not gonna fuck around much in a good way, because I feel old and tired all the time.
- Comment on Why are we not getting stress relief games where we take our stresses out on normal people? 2 weeks ago:
From what I know about simulator games, they don’t usually simulate asshole customers, and it’s fairly easy to be successful compared to real life. Kinda its own form of stress relief, though I’d assume that the target audience isn’t people who have the simulated job in real life.
- Comment on We humiliate ourselves to the people we like so they will never like us back. 2 weeks ago:
Maybe you do.
- Comment on Its me 2 weeks ago:
I couldn’t fall asleep today, so I woke up too late to go to the supermarket. I feel like I pretty much already did that!
- Comment on Its me 2 weeks ago:
These are all the same person!
- Comment on Why all Animes are made in Japan? 2 weeks ago:
Faulty premise. There are lots of series that are pretty close in style than aren’t made in Japan, e.g. whatnerd.com/best-non-japanese-anime-series/ (I just searched for “anime not made in japan” and this was one of the first results).
And considering that manwha (Korean comics) looks exactly like manga, that’s hardly surprising.

TFW you’re a British lesbian songwriter
- Comment on my bf says sleeping with your balls out is the male equivalent 2 weeks ago:
Sleeping with your junk out is kinda like wearing boxers. And I hate wearing boxers - boxer-briefs all the way! I imagine sleeping topless as a woman is kinda similar, depending on her tits’ shape.
- Comment on Given the obviously wide reaching implications of the Epstein files why arent other world governments demanding access or copies? 2 weeks ago:
Assuming they don’t already have copies through intelligence sharing agreements or have already demanded access in secret, how exactly would most countries pressure the US, and specifically this US goverment?
- Comment on Sad trumbone 2 weeks ago:
Had it happen several times that I took so long to develop feelings, the other person wasn’t interested anymore. Imagine how much worse this would be if I my lifespan was like 30 times longer and I was never hanging out with fellow long-lifespan-havers …
- Comment on Nice horsie! 🐎 2 weeks ago:
Most households in rich nations I guess. I haven’t ever heard of anyone I personally know that they have a rodent infestation in their home.
- Comment on Nice horsie! 🐎 2 weeks ago:
The usefulness is dubious for most house cats. Most households don’t have mouse infestations, and cats who go outside actively endanger wildlife (and yes, that is an issue for humans as well). Being cute and relatively friendly is useful on its own, but more in a psychological way.
I do agree that they’re extremely cute, and honestly I don’t know any other cute pet animals that are as cleanly with their feces (dogs can relatively easily be trained to not shit on the carpet, but not to shit in a dog toilet).
- Comment on Nice horsie! 🐎 2 weeks ago:
I bet house cats would never have been a thing if they didn’t house-train instinctually.
- Comment on TIL why I think anime is winning over Western adaptations 2 weeks ago:
What did netflix’ witcher try to educate us about? havent seen it.
