Oyakodon and its sibling dishes (discuss.tchncs.de)
There’s a dish in Japan called 親子丼(おやこどん) which is a chicken + eggs rice bowl. 親子(おやこ) can be translated as parent and child, which was a bit disturbing the first time I knew about it....
OC New romanization just dropped Japanese
There's a 4-page manga about the Wikipedia mascot, Wikipe-tan (lemmy.comfysnug.space)
Wikipe-tan has been the (cutest) unofficial mascot for Wikipedia since 2006. This manga was posted to PIxiv and Wikipedia in 2010 by Kasuga, where he said this:...
The [bird] told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command. (sopuli.xyz)
Not a plea for help since I imagine using the word bank allows the text to be accepted. And no, I’m not trying to get it to fail by using 二 instead of ニ. I’m pretty sure the exercise is bugged.

The world stops functioning if there's no coffee (sh.itjust.works)
This one is a bit tricky, in fact. What it means to say in English is "when the coffee is empty, we won't refill it"....
The future is dangerous (sh.itjust.works)
この先 could be vaguely translated as "from this point onwards", which usually has a temporal meaning "from now on", but in this case it's meant to be spatial, "don't walk past this sign".
三ドイッチ (sh.itjust.works)
"We are free" (sh.itjust.works)
It wanted to give out a message of freedom, but the mistranslation ended up meaning "we are free of charge"....
