What, no umeboshi?

Definitely a case of "committing to the bit" that resulted in an above-average comedy anime. A lot of these "so dumb it's intriguing" premise series struggle to carry interest for more than an episode, so I was pleased that the series remained consistent all ten episodes. Probably good that they ended there, though.

Speak for yourself, my absolute dope of a cat was able to resolve the mouse problem in my new apartment within 48 hours (she didn't even manage to catch any, her mere presence was apparently sufficient).

Tadpoles.

The ensuing frog plague upon the capital would be a nice little bonus.

MEMES ARE REAL LIFE!!!1

RIP science documentaries I guess...

Oh no, that's a separate treatment: salamander larvae. Fortunately they cohabitate with tadpoles quite harmoniously.

No experience with pineapples, but when a plant starts looking like this it's often either too much or too little watering. Does the pot have an unobscured drain hole in the bottom? How did you choose a once-every-three-days watering cycle? (That sounds insufficient for outside growing this time of year to me.)

Article tl;dr -- The housing crisis is a result of not keeping up with demand, so the solution is to build more housing than we currently are.

Yup, they really "cracked" it.

Way to scrounge up the original! Hats off to your tracking skills.

"you could have stopped but didn't" vs "you should have already been stopped but weren't"

Basically, when you come to a yellow light, there are two ways you can look at the situation: "can I safely stop before reaching the intersection?" or "can I make it through the intersection before the light turns red?" The idea behind "yellow running" regulations is that drivers should be asking themselves the first question, not the second.

I'd double-check your local traffic regulations; there are places where you can get written a ticket for running a yellow light.

My understanding is that, at least where applicable in the US, it's pretty rare to get a ticket for running a yellow. So it might be one of those things that never actually comes up, or only when part of another charge.

Nope, that's multilingual or polyglot.

Edit: I'm not here to comment on the bi/pan debate, and do not intend for my comment to extend to that debate. But the definition of "bilingual" (the subject of the question I'm answering) seems to be extremely clear on its specificity. From Merriam-Webster:

1: having or expressed in two languages

a bilingual document

an officially bilingual nation

2: using or able to use two languages especially with equal fluency

bilingual in English and Japanese

3: of or relating to bilingual education

Please see my edit.

god in the machine: It's just... I thought that "the big three" would be building up to something else...

The Lemmy userbase is human, which is more than I can say of Reddit's.

This triggers a memory!

Once when I was a kid, I went with a friend to McDonalds while they were doing some Disney promotion or another. We got the "girl or boy toy with your happy meal?" question. We were both girls so we automatically answered "girl toy." After eating we looked and saw that we both had Jasmine from Aladdin, and if we had said "one of each please" we would have had both Aladdin and Jasmine, which would have been a lot more fun to play with while we waited for our parents to wrap up whatever they were doing. So we decided that next time we would ask for one of each. Well the next time was toward the end of the promotion and all they had left were the girl toys, meaning we ended up with four Jasmine figurines.

"Female" instead of woman or girl.

Edit: as in, where "woman" or "girl" would be grammatically correct. e.g. "a lot of females work at that company" vs "a lot of women work at that company" or "that company has a lot of female employees"

In a statement, the consul general of Israel to the southeast US, Anata Sultan-Dadon, said that the diplomatic mission is "saddened to learn of the self-immolation at the entrance to the office building". "It is tragic to see the hate and incitement toward Israel expressed in such a horrific way"

Anyone else caught off guard by this utterly tone deaf statement?
