I have opened a community about book covers at !bookcovers@sh.itjust.works. It is a community for asking questions and chatting about book covers, as well as posting images of the book covers themselves.

Main community rules include "links to online bookstores are prohibited in principle" and "translations must include the author and title of the original work."

As I am a Japanese speaker who is not very good at English, I use translation software to view and manage the community. Please keep this in mind when using this community.

「マンガ肉」 Manga meat illustration (from Wikipedia)

This is what you would call "Manga Meat" in English, an iconic piece of meat on the bone that often appears in anime, manga, games, and other works in Japanese subculture.

I would love to bite into this hearty meat like the cartoon characters someday.

“Cardboard Cooler” with cooling function using frozen plastic bottles.

I thought it was ridiculous to make your own air conditioner out of cheap materials, but apparently it's actually quite cool.

However, the author of the article says that “the wind smells a little like metal.”

The article is in Japanese, but for details, please refer to the link below.

!experimentalfilm@sh.itjust.works

I just created the Lemmy community for experimental film. Feel free to post anything, including links to experimental films, chatting, and asking questions, as long as the topic is experimental film.

However, please be sure to mark any work that may cause epileptic seizures, such as flashing, as NSFW.

This is my first time moderating a forum, including Lemmy.

As I am not an English speaker, I use translation software to post and view content, so I hope you will be kind enough to understand this.

This violates the community rule, "If the artist has uploaded the video to a video service other than YouTube." (In the first place, this is not an official video of the artist.)

Yes. I am a feminist, though I am skeptical.

Some feminists argue(Article in Japanese) that the gender equality brought about by feminism also liberates men from the suffering unique to them.

I take a similar stance, believing that the 'gender equality' brought about by male feminism, which seeks happiness for men, also liberates women from the suffering unique to them. In some ways, I am a reactionary feminist.

Previously, I was a male feminist with old-fashioned thinking, striving to eliminate only women's suffering, not men's.

However, I changed my mind after the Japanese government, where I live, adopted a policy of allocating "female admission quotas" at prestigious universities, including national universities, as part of its affirmative action program, modeled on America's racial admission quotas.

Even back when I supported traditional feminism, I was critical of the current state of university education in Japan, where there are public women's universities but no public men's universities. I also believe that expanding these quotas to general universities would violate the Constitution, which proclaims gender equality. I cannot trust traditional Japanese feminism, which supports the unconstitutional status quo, and that is why I have become the skeptical feminist I mentioned earlier.

 

Hatena Bookmark, a social bookmarking service by Hatena Inc. that launched on February 10, 2005, is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year.

The service was launched as a Japanese alternative to del.icio.us, the world's number one social bookmarking service, and even now, 20 years later, it is still actively running, with hundreds of people bookmarking dozens of articles every day.

Incidentally, Hatena Inc., the company that operates this service, is world-famous for its work as the outsourced administrator of the social media portion of Nintendo Co., Ltd.'s Filipnote Studio, and for developing the "SplatNet" app for Nintendo's Splatoon series of games.

 

I'm Japanese, but I know this British regional topic.

This sandwich filling was invented by a Japanese person, and the interest in it led to it being reported in Japanese newspapers.

Honestly, I think this debate is necessary but ridiculous.

EDIT:

I've just realized that this post might violate our community rule, "No politics. (Sandwich sub is not a political sub, go figure.)" So I'm considering deleting it.

(To me, this topic was about a faraway foreign country, and it was about the interpretation of law, not the enactment of law, so I didn't realize that this post was political.)

For now, I'll delete this post if I receive a notice from a mod or if it receives a certain number of downvotes, so please downvote it if you think this is political news.

RE-EDIT:

While I was editing this addendum, I received a positive response from the mod to this post, so I am withdrawing the above addendum regarding deletion.

I'm not an Anglophone, so I apologize if the grammar in this comment is incorrect.

This comment uses Google Translate.

This playlist is not my work, so I cannot include songs mentioned in the comments.

To address this issue, I created a playlist that includes two songs I already know and songs recommended in the comments.

I've divided the songs into two themes: "Frog Croaking" and "Frog Themes."

To avoid confusion about the playlist's themes, I've reorganized them into two playlists: one for songs that fit the "Frog Croaking" theme and one for the newly released "Frog Names."

Songs with Frog Names or Themes https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4fKUVgQAiKrrL9lpCcTOz0?pt=427b78f775dfdcb9e0304d18a41f5461

Enjoy!

The OP playlist is not my creation.

So, I've released this Spotify playlist for the Lemmy community to collaborate on, reclassifying the original playlist into two major categories (frog sounds, and names/themes).

You can receive an invitation to collaborate on the playlist by clicking the link below.

for sounds: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5c5gQ7gvAoxbM9F6eEXirW?pt=b418c8a712b0d7ecdced69d9255f1897

for names/themes: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4fKUVgQAiKrrL9lpCcTOz0?pt=427b78f775dfdcb9e0304d18a41f5461
