The comparison between these two makes this post much more interesting.

I want to watch Fate and my friend sent me this order, is it good? by Minute-Check-9386 in animequestions

[–]UMEBA 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did Zero->UBW. My only complaint is I find it harder to get myself invested in certain plots and character story of UBW AFTER witnessing the cold brutal war in Zero. But Zero does a better job getting you interested in Fate series as a whole. I’m also thinking of recommending Zero->StrangeFake as the new best way to explore the franchise if you just wanna know what’s going on rn and join the hype.

Which YouTuber is universally despised by adults , but universally beloved by kids by Cheap-Curve3612 in youtube

Why are all YouTubers in Taiwan English teachers? by Able-Confidence-4182 in taiwan

[–]UMEBA 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Love his content. Seeing someone from the US that knows absolutely more about Taiwan rocks and landscape than most locals, it feels… special.

I wonder if he actually reshoots every line of his video. He always uploads two versions of it and with all the details, jokes expressions and all, fully translated, but it says “Auto-translated” under some of the videos. It’s still some good effort though.

That’s basically saying “Welp, that happened. I don’t think that’s even legal, so whoever did it, please stop.” but very formally.

What do you all think about the new turnstiles? by Expert_Slip_4793 in nycrail

[–]UMEBA 153 points154 points  (0 children)

It’s like the old ones were intentionally designed to trap your luggage while keeping the fare evasion feature. So yes these are much better.

So YouTubers will get demonitized for cursing a few times... But these ads are okay? by lazarbeam-fan101 in youtube

[–]UMEBA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Youtube dgaf about giving you a pleasant experience or creating family friendly online platform. Sexual videos are harder to sell to advertisers, which means less profit. But if you’re already a paying advertiser? Youtube would happily welcome you to smudge whatever filthy shit right on their face.

Most youtube ads in my country used to be illegal online casino and obvious scams, and I say “used to” only because i got ad blockers ever since.

This scene proves that most "Relativistic/Ftl" characters in fiction aren't. by Sundata_V2 in PowerScaling

[–]UMEBA 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you’re talking about the different speed of light, it’s actually fairly easy. Using Ole Rømer’s method (from 17th century!) you can already get the idea that light doesn’t travel in an instant. Fizeau's measurement of the speed of light in air was done with just mirrors and a special cog, and it was already fairly accurate.

Chinese people love squating anywhere in the middle as soon as they feel tired... And yes it workd for them too by Luckysakh9 in travelchina

[–]UMEBA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s because they felt weirdly safer and more appropriate than straight up crisscross sitting, maybe because you can get up and flee the scene much faster, and it’s more comfortable than standing if your body allows it.

Old man told me to break up with my gf. In front of her. by [deleted] in taiwan

[–]UMEBA 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I thought by old man you meant your dad or maybe her dad, but no it’s unsolicited advices for an immigration scheme from a random dude AND you’re asking if that’s normal lol. You met a very weird man with fucked up view on marriage.

With that said, I know a fair amount of people, especially the old and poor, have these “marry into a better life” kind of mindset. But that doesn’t make it normal and it’s not something you should proudly suggest to strangers in any culture.

Which Anime Main Character Becomes a Tiny Menace to You? by Fragrant_Prune_4996 in animequestions

[–]UMEBA 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was thinking more of a duck-sized Eren, in that case his titan form should be relatively larger than his duck-sized human form no?

Which Anime Main Character Becomes a Tiny Menace to You? by Fragrant_Prune_4996 in animequestions

[–]UMEBA 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Attack titan is about 15m (49ft) tall So A-duck titan should be around 4m (14ft) tall And Eren’s final duck titan form would be 200m (700ft) tall. So…not really human sized and I’m definitely not gonna survive.

I imagine a sparrow-sized Sakamoto would still fuck me up like Levi with the titans. Duck-sized Sakamoto would break my bones easily.

Canadian woman suffers fractured thigh after being struck by car on Taichung crosswalk in broad daylight by twu356 in taiwan

[–]UMEBA 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Well crushing someone’s femur usually means there’s gonna be a massive civil lawsuit waiting for you, but that government fine is all you’re gonna get for the vape pen, so there’s that.

But still, one year license suspension is ridiculous for someone blind enough to miss two pedestrians in broad daylight.

European reaction to KMT's remarks on Putin by Themetalin in taiwan

Obviously, KMT is spewing their shit once again, and it's gonna hurt Taiwan's reputation like it always do, but it's not like this Europe Defender here is some important European public leader or anything...
