I have spoken to @ThePop and will be taking over JMusicFriday for a while. I already micro-blog on chika and J Idols, so it is no trouble for me. I will be adding and trying out the prompt IdolSunday as well. Open for all idol music J Idol, K Idol, Kaigai Idol
Not sure if I missed the #JMusicFriday prompt, but I did want to share my favorite version of the Creepy-Nuts song that's going round rn. Aohi Rame is SO. DAMN. GOOD.
Google translate is horribly wrong in thinking that the anime "Delicious in Dungeon" is "Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon" in Japanese.
I'm guessing that google thinks that Anime + Dungeon = DanMachi.
@yon@anianimalsmoe the absence of more specific single words just means we need to add words to describe I guess, and maybe points to the importance of differentiating them immediately vs. not. There are two words for rice in Cantonese depending on whether they are raw ("mai") or cooked ("fan").
I met two Russian people who were running a booth at a festival. One greeted me and tried to converse with me in English, but it soon became apparent that that wouldn’t get us very far. So, we switched to Japanese, and made small talk for a few minutes before I made my purchase....
got my yearly health check this friday (健康診断 けんこうしんだん)
I need to remember to do my poo samples for the poo test they'll do (検便検査 けんべんけんさ)
便 べん means poo/feces/stool
検査 けんさ test
検 けん by itself means test, so you could read 検便検査 as poo test test if you were being pedantic
for the linux nerds out there 大便 だいべん (daiben, also meaning feces) is close in pronunciation to a certain large distribution that I've heard it's the unofficial name in some quarters
@Jason844 Oh, just realized that said how many beans at a time. Handfuls, definitely. I've seen anime where they throw fistfuls like a major-league pitcher, so I guess have fun.😆
In 2009, @lego and #Japanese retailer Muji collaborated to create innovative building sets that combined basic #LEGO bricks with Muji’s minimalist #design principles. Despite the concept failing to gain popularity, the team at Studio Playfool in #Japan has revived the idea, creating fun and unusual combinations of LEGO and paper using a hole punch and a template. 🧱📄🤖
I thought this about the paper thing when I saw the bendy guy in the picture.
I remember watching a YouTube video (that was recommended to me again about a week ago, btw) a few years back about it and I thought it was a really cool idea.
It’s a shame that LEGO don’t redesign the hole punch and reintroduce this. It’s a great way for people to get creative and have more fun, especially if they only own a few bricks.
Due to the fact that Sports will be playing all day and I will be subjected to various yelling, shouting, and cheering from all sides with no escape, please enjoy this little ditty from Garfunkel and Oates
@richardmedh
Some nice ones in here!
First floor in German has a special name and counting starts with 2nd, so I was curious what translation pages make out of 二階から目薬:
deepl is not translating literally, but by meaning
google-translate translates into German as "2. Stock", so circling into Japanese that would be 3rd floor/三階
Translating stays fun, despite (or because?) the attempts to do it in software.
