In Africa, every 60 seconds, a minute passes.

In Africa, it doesn't matter if you're gay or straight, because at the end of the day, it's night. -- Gustavo

What about millions of years in the future if africa shifts towards the north/south pole?

[–] Viking_Hippie 5 points 8 months ago

Won't change when the night arrives. Might change the LENGTH of days, but at the end of them it'll still be night

  • just stop counting small time! 5000x365 of yellow sky orb passings, yet still no real-world use found
  • want to know if its time to work? we had a tool for it, its called sunrise
  • «hello, i now want 200 microseconds of your time but only to compare your face with the one already stored in my brain» — sounds mentally deranged

If humanity continues on the current path, billions of people will die in the next century.

In Germany, it is tradition to end the day with the closing of one's eyes, and start the next with opening them.

Cops in Africa pull over more black people than white people.

Oh really? In Lithuania, murder is also illegal. It traces back from the spoken tradition of the ancestors. Some recent analysis has found traces of this social ban in 800 years old folk tale, Spruce the Queen of Serpents, in which, as a punishment for murder, the killers were turned into trees. It is weird how Lithuanian culture shares similarities with the Japanese! There must have been cultural connections at some point in time...

The languages also both have a word for "three". Proto-world confirmed?

I think it has something to do with the westward movement of the Mongolian tribes

What are the other four? WHAT ARE THE OTHER FOUR?!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

now we're gonna need someone to install twitter and tell us what the rest is as quick as possible

Seems the account got deleted or something. It's now named SUPER CHAT and has no posts or replies.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 8 months ago

I really want to know what the other four things are. Not enough to go look, but enough to complain here.

[–] badcommandorfilename 25 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

I know you yanks like to go around shooting each other, but if you absolutely must challenge someone to a duel - do be so kind as to use your sword instead.

Many of us on Lemmy have Kitanas hanging on our wall, so totally ready.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago

Why is she hanging on your wall? Tell her to get down and act more human if she doesn't want to stand out

If I can't do any of my favorite murders then what's the point of traveling? Stupid woke Japanese ruin everything.

[–] Ddhuud 20 points 8 months ago

Aww shoot! My vacation is ruined!

[–] [email protected] 19 points 8 months ago (2 children)

The rest of us are so used to murdering people every day. I never would have thought about it!

I guess I can stop murdering for a little bit while in Japan. If you insist.

[–] PP_BOY_ 9 points 8 months ago

He can have a little murder as a treat

I for one think more countries should make this very illegal.

[–] RHSJack 17 points 8 months ago

Now I am worried I might have committed a faux pas unknowingly. I mean, they are so polite they won't point it out. So now I am sitting here, years later, wondering if I might have, you know, murdered someone in Japan.

[–] BilboBargains 15 points 8 months ago

That murdering you've been doing? Not okay

[–] [email protected] 13 points 8 months ago

Well there go my holiday plans...

This is one of my favorite Japan related shitposts

[–] Capricorny90210 12 points 8 months ago

Man, talk about culture shock!

[–] Asudox 11 points 8 months ago

That's news to me. Everyone here murders people, I thought it was legal everywhere! I mean, you just kill people, not that big of a deal.
