In 2003, a Flash animation of dancing badgers yelling “badger” became one of the internet’s biggest early brain infections.

@oidonhagouda Just troops being funny.

Hey Americans 👀 What the hell is actually inside this box labeled “変態” (pervert/hentai)? Seriously, what’s in there? 👀

@edkun197 @oidonhagouda The pre-made rice I buy is labeled 'sticky rice'. But in the ingredients it says it is japonica. That is where my confusion came from. Therefore I have never truly had sticky rice.

@EdwardE5067 @oidonhagouda It would taste horribly wrong if sticky rice is used for sushi… that is the same rice used in Thai desserts, pounded into Japanese mochi, and used in Chinese sweet wine…

@EdwardE5067 @oidonhagouda p.s. sticky rice, also known as glutenous rice, is an entire difference thing. That's the one they use to make mochi.

@edkun197 @oidonhagouda Yes you are correct. I am confusing the terms. Japonica gets sticky but is not referred to as sticky rice.

@oidonhagouda I prefer sticky rice when eating with chopsticks. If I'm mixing different ingredients with the rice I use jasmine and eat with a fork or spoon.

Hey everyone around the world 👋 Japanese people are seeing some wild reactions overseas right now. A lot of foreigners are genuinely confused and asking: “Why do East Asians only eat that short-grain sticky rice? Why don’t you eat real rice like basmati or jasmine rice?” To us, Japanese rice (short-grain) is the standard — it’s sticky, slightly sweet, and perfect with chopsticks and side dishes. But many people overseas seem to think long-grain rice is the “real” one, and our rice looks like “cheap instant rice” to them 😂 It’s such a funny cultural gap. So here’s my question to all of you: In your country, what kind of rice do people usually eat? Do you prefer long-grain (basmati, jasmine, etc.) or short-grain sticky rice? And what do you think when you see Japanese-style rice? I’m really curious how the rest of the world sees it!

@japan_nobunaga I always wondered about the yellow lines. Good information to know.

In Japan, there's a strip of yellow tiles on every platform. Nobody touches it. Not one person. Rush hour. Thousands of people. Packed like sardines. That yellow path — completely untouched. A little girl skips right up to the edge of it. Stops. Steps around it. Her mother walks straight down the center, white cane sweeping the raised dots, dark sunglasses, completely calm. You think those tiles are anti-slip. They're not. They're a message. Raised dots mean stop. Danger is close. Raised bars mean go. You're safe. Keep walking. That mother reads this city with her feet. Every single morning. The space between the tiles and the train? Empty. Always empty. Nobody goes there. Not because of a law. Not because of a sign. Because in Japan, that path belongs to someone who needs it more than you. The crowd parts. Every time. Without a word. That same yellow path is under your feet back home. In airports. At crosswalks. On every train platform in your country. You've walked over it ten thousand times. Born from one man's love for one friend. Still walking the blind home. All over the world. To this day.

@tanpukunokami I just started using furikake because of a recipe I recently tried. Now I like adding it to my rice. 🍚 🥢

A lot of countries treat plain rice as just rice. Japan looked at plain white rice and said, “No. This can still be better.” So Japan made furikake. Tiny flakes you sprinkle on rice. Seaweed. Sesame. Egg. Salmon. Plum. Wasabi. Bonito. Not sauce. Not soup. Not a side dish. Just a small sprinkle. But somehow, it changes everything. A boring bowl of rice becomes breakfast. A cheap lunch becomes better. A tired midnight meal becomes enough. Kids put it on lunch boxes. Students put it on rice when they are broke. Adults put it on rice when they have no energy to cook. I know it sounds stupid. It is literally seasoning for rice. But Japan is really good at this. Taking something simple, and making daily life just a little easier.

@hoshizorarock Gladly 💵💵💵

@chibidoki I have accounts that I forget about sometimes because I haven't played the games in so long. I'll just get a random email telling me about the latest news about their games. And I'll ask myself "when the *@$! did I sign up with them? Oh wait, that one game needed an account".

am i the only one who is so over having to have 100 accounts just to play video games 😭 like i download a new game and i have to find some random login info every single time instead of just enjoying the game

@TheLegalMindset Ohhhh... I hope Japan is not lenient on them like they were with Johnny. Sovereign citizens are the worst lol

One of the two African American influencers arrested for the Punch The Monkey stunt in Japan is trying to go “sovereign citizen” abroad and not recognize Japanese authority. They need to be sent to jail for as long as possible, which is currently up to 3 years as charged.

@BlabberingC @Senators They're focusing on the wrong stick handling lol 🏒

@Senators I wonder what would happen if you focused more on hockey and less about the gays... would your wins increase?

Today on International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, and Transphobia, and every day, we stand for love and against discrimination. We continue to strive to make our game an inclusive space for all to ensure that hockey is for everyone! 🏳️‍🌈 #IDAHOBIT

@js5dm9b9jwhy1tq My father let me borrow in the 90's when I was in high school and I never gave it back lol. That was how I first heard songs from 'Sad Wings of Destiny ' and 'Rocka Rolla'.

@tanpukunokami Never heard of pairing edamame with beer. I want to try it now. I can't wait to try Japanese beer to someday. 🍺

Yesterday, I bought some fresh edamame, so I had it with a Kirin beer at night. Edamame is just coming into season, so I really recommend it if you’re in Japan during summer. Most people usually boil or steam it, but personally, I like grilling it. It gets a little charred, becomes more fragrant, and goes incredibly well with beer.

@hoshizorarock Mini Mouse mutation has activated 🐭🔥

Americans are on fire 🥺

@zkurishi I would be going for the 'Space Battleship Yamato' and 'Galaxy Express 999' myself. (It's up higher on the shelf 😁)

いい感じにボヤけてるけど、何を手に取ってるかは気になる。わかる人いるんじゃないか。

@japan_nobunaga A label on a parcel that made me smile.

Japan hides little smiles everywhere. Construction fences wear panda faces. Police cars have round, waving mascots. Even the “Watch your step” sign sometimes has blushing cheeks. Your morning coffee lid has a tiny bear. The bag you throw away says “thank you” with a cartoon cat. It’s not decoration. It’s Japan’s gentle way of saying “Even on ordinary days, you deserve something soft to look at.” Other countries make things practical. Japan makes sure the small, boring moments still feel a little kind.

@ioio_bbts Amazing 🤘. My favorite Cannibal Corpse song. Your vocals rule!

メタルアイドルです！って挨拶すると、最初ちょっと軽く見られることもあるけど… まぁ、この声を聴いてくださいよ☺️🤘💖 CANNIBAL CORPSE / Hammer Smashed Face #BBTS #デスボのお姉さん

@SmashJT When this ad first appeared in my feed, I braced myself as my finger approached the unmute button. I was worried that there would be cringe music to go with the cringe visuals. I had to know what song was causing these characters to convulse and spaz. Alas my ears were spared.

@Grummz Peak animation 👌. This game was made for people who win participation trophies.

Pure astroturfing at unheard of scale for this game.
