They’re the leading cause of death in children.

Uh…WHAT? Ain’t no fucking way. *checks statistics*

…😳 what the actual fuck. Y’all doin alright down there?

B-boner? Tf kinda noise is your boner making?

Took me until high school to realize bonjour=bon jour=good day. My brain just about exploded. Worldview destroyed.

What would you have Bernie do after loosing his primary?

Ah man, you’ve got a Cadillac.

I had me an old Panasonic model at my old apartment that wasn’t as nice but goddamn if you set that MF to the strongest setting 🫨🫨. The thing would clean your ass, rectum and colon lol.

I know a guy that said he doesn’t wash around his ass when he showers because “that’s gay as hell”. I don’t even wanna know what kind of biome he’s got flourishing down there.

This would make a ton of sense if your choice of Lemmy instance were not just that; a choice. It’s not a characteristic innate to your being that you’re born with or something.

You can choose to associate with whatever instance you want and swap it up with another account somewhere else if you want at any time (you can prob keep the same username if you want too).

I spent >10 years of my youth playing a sport competitively. I don’t think I ever watched a professional game to completion. Unlike pretty much all my teammates, I just could not have cared less.

Play the sport myself? Fun, sure! Watch someone else play? Uh, why?

I think it’s great that people enjoy watching sports. I dunno why but it just bored the hell out of me.

Good to know! I always assumed Mandarin and Cantonese were interchangeable terms with Simplified and Traditional Chinese, respectively. Saves me from making the mistake IRL.

Just say you’re allergic…easy W

Soba does detonate my bowels, so…

In Japanese, 面 is indeed men but I haven’t seen it used for noodles. It is usually used for face, mask, (rarely) man.

麺 is the kanji for noodles (notice that 面 is a radical). But, noodle is also often just written in kana as either めん or メン.

Note I am not a native speaker, so not totally confident.

I believe 面 is used for noodles in Mandarin…?

Y’know nobody forced you to write this.

And don’t call me Shirley.

Them’s the small government folks for ya…

Yea, that gene most East Asians have (~80% for Japanese iirc?) causes much fewer sweat glands, so much reduced BO production. Not none, but enough that a BO smell can’t be picked up until a few days without washing (which would be sacrilegious to do anyway). But even if not what we think of as BO, they can definitely smell too. Get on a crowded train in the summer heat and…it’s not always so nice lol.

Can confirm on deodorant being so rare tho. Every pharmacy seems to have only a single option tucked away.

That’s exactly how it’s viewed in Japan.

Smell like shit (BO, etc)? Go wash yourself, you stink.

Smell like a pine tree from cologne? Go wash yourself, you stink.

I love me some bullet trains, but there is a certain distance that makes planes way more viable.

There should be a lot more (and higher quality) high speed rail between cities of moderate distance, however.
