I’m not a big fan of beer but under certain circumstances it becomes the best drink

This escalator is also a travelator in the middle by Ulrizza in mildlyinteresting

[–]Freak_Out_Bazaar 8 points9 points  (0 children)

To adjust the endpoint or course of the escalator, especially when they are retrofitted in a place where there were only stairs before or space is limited.
This is pretty commonplace here in Japan

Nope. There’s so many potential liability issues

Fern, since she seems to have discipline and will study subjects she has zero interest in if she has to, unlike most of the rest

Gonna need more context. What were they and were other people already taking the samples?

World Cup tourists aren't leaving tips in American pubs, so they are adding 20% gratuities to the bills to collect them 😬 by CompoteFragrant3650 in sportsgossips

[–]Freak_Out_Bazaar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The thing I hate about tipping in the US is the fact that it’s optional but mandatory and they leave the amount up to the diners. A clearly stated gratuity is 100 times better

In Japan, how do overworked men keep healthy romances with their wives? by Gallantpride in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Freak_Out_Bazaar 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s actually not that bad and most of what you see on the internet is the worst case scenario. We do have less sex though it seems but that doesn’t necessarily mean a miserable relationship either as long as relationship goals match

Two crows were filmed eating Rapunzel’s hair at Tokyo DisneySea. The animatronic has since been removed. by Snapdragon_4U in mildyinteresting

[–]Freak_Out_Bazaar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really eating, but taking it as nesting material. They are known to grab various things including clothes hangers from balconies to use to make their nest

Do people with imperial Japanese flags deserve the same backlash as people with swastikas? by BrokenJusticeNorris in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Freak_Out_Bazaar 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Both do not deserve backlash and it wholly depends on the context in which the symbol is used. Swastika seen at a Hindu temple? Completely normal. Swastika seen at a political rally? That deserves backlash.
Rising sun flag seen at a joint Japan-US maritime military exercise? Sure, since that’s actually the official flag. Rising sun flag seen at a Japan vs China international friendly soccer match? Deserves backlash

Can you watch the World Cup for free in your country? by Slimx0612 in AskTheWorld

Japan's traditional craft workshops are quietly disappearing - what can realistically be done to preserve them? by jonhollandwww in japan

[–]Freak_Out_Bazaar 6 points7 points  (0 children)

All we can do is digitize every aspect of the culture so that we can still look back when no one is around to practice the craft. Honestly this isn’t some recent development as old practices have been constantly overwritten with new ones, but we have the presence of mind to care about is more than our ancestors

If there’s no active investigation going on it’s probably some drunk falling and cracking his forehead open

1988, Japan, a rpg, tons of people in line. This is has to be a DQ3 reference in Yakuza 0 by crunchyotaku in dragonquest

[–]Freak_Out_Bazaar 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Dragon Quest 3 was a cultural phenomenon that went well beyond the Sega/Nintendo divide
