@evan@cosocial.ca In my case, I don't know if it's cultural or something, but when I think about clothes, I clearly separate "home clothes" from "outside clothes", and I don't really consider "home clothes" when I talk about clothing unless specified.

@evan@cosocial.ca Yes, I assumed "in public" my bad.

@evan@cosocial.ca TIL that pants were divided in hard vs soft. I had to look it up.

And then I wondered: do some people actually wear "soft pants" in public? And then I remembered that you have mostly a North American audience...

Le Japon, entre tradition et plastique.

@evan@cosocial.ca How would it be unsafe?

The second one is High Heel Cats, because why not. Note that this is part two, so part one was popular apparently.

It's time for some new WTF Gacha!!!

Starting with some cute animals reenacting Munch's The Scream.

It's actually a good occasion to maybe fix a misunderstanding that's been hindering you for so many years. In The Scream, the person represented is not the one who screams. They're the one hearing the scream and being terrified by it. Look at their facial expression, look at the hands on the sides of the heads.

😱

Now you know, and you're welcome.

I just found out about WAFRN and... Yes!!!

@BeAware@social.beaware.live Why don't you just migrate your account? Create the new account first, boost the unfinished conversations so you can continue them with the new account, and then migrate?
Also you can have a solo instance that is hosted somewhere if you can't deal with the technical aspects. That's what I'm doing with my Mastodon account. I advise SpaceHost or MastoHost.

If you know, you know... (if you don't know, you'll know in the next post of the thread)

It's been a while since my last WTF Gacha thread!

Well, here we go.

For those who love riding the bus and miss it when they're home, we have the "I want to get off at the next stop button."

This one is not a cup ramen, it's an entire box of cup ramens!!!! How do they all fit in one capsule?

Re the previous post, if you don't know this is Kewpie Tarako.

Kewpie is a brand of mayonnaise in Japan, the mascot is a little doll. A few years ago (well, maybe 20 years ago) they had an insane series of commercials for tarako sauce (spicy fish eggs, basically)

Be warned, you may lose some sanity watching this video, and no matter what, the song will be stuck in your head for weeks.

First, there were these "yokai in a jar" that were just awesome.
I wanted the kappa, I got the nine-tailed fox... It will do.

@BeAware@social.beaware.live The HOA. They're the reason we can't have nice things.

@BeAware@social.beaware.live @atomicpoet@atomicpoet.org I tried to read but I'm too old to waste time reading rants. After three minutes reading, she still hadn't made a point beside yelling at clouds.

It's not a surprise considering their understanding of the whole thing. I'm sure they're part of the people who think that "Fediverse" is just a fancy word for "Mastodon."

@jrollans@jrollans.com @BeAware@social.beaware.live @reiver@jrollans.com Not "many people." A tiny loud minority that wants to dictate how we should all use the Fediverse.

@reiver@mastodon.social @BeAware@social.beaware.live @jrollans@jrollans.com I'm thinking more and more about starting something like Fediblock but just with the Mastodon Taliban in it.

@BeAware@social.beaware.live They come with instructions. Sets this size are pretty complex (and pretty pricey, that was my Christmas present to myself)

Interestingly, I never was a fan as a kid, but I'm obsessed as the adult (although my less these days for financial - they became a luxury product in Japan recently, in parts because of the weak yen - and space reasons)
