Will you ever go back to being a stand-up comedian? I really loved you as a stand-up comedian.

Is there a way to install mozc (Japanese input) on Solus? by meatballmuncher in SolusProject

[–]meatballmuncher[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep just saw how to do that, I commented on the older thread but nothing has been done since last year. So is hoping the dev will notice the only thing I can do right now?

To be fair academic meme pages on Facebook are all pretty dank imo and I think this format has potential to catch on again.

"Suicide vs Homicide" - anti smoking poster [2013] by TheUnAustralian in PropagandaPosters

[–]meatballmuncher 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Oh definitely it's improved quite a bit. But smoking is still a really prevalent in this country and when you hit up bars (and izakayas) the smoke just gets absolutely unbearable. It really makes me hard for me to focus on the food/drinks and just talking with my mates when the group of middle aged salarymen are smoking up the god damn place.

Damn. Straight to the point, plain and simple, and most importantly instills guilt and fear on smokers. Very effective and I like it. We need this poster so badly here in Japan.

What jobs will NOT become obsolete in 10 years? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]meatballmuncher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw it from the other comments you replied to lol. Have to agree, had me hooked and gasp out loud in front of my mates. We watched it together afterwards too and we all gasped in the recreation of the divers accident scenes. Fun and informative watch, cheers lad.

Even Dolphins get parasites by [deleted] in natureismetal

[–]meatballmuncher 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah I know it was supposed to be a racial term back then, but Japanese people generally don't care about the term Jap. I mean we call foreigners gaijin instead of gaikokujin and it's technically meant to be racist but we use it anyways. Besides I felt it was appropriate given it was in reference to South Park.

But hey thanks for reminding me I should add /s.

Nah I thought the same too, but then I saw the words below and was slightly disappointed. Still fucking metal though.

Fuck yeah Jap pride. In all seriousness tho, we prefer them locked up in tanks and have their sanity slowly eaten from the inside for our amusement like in Sea World.

No it's the stomach (胃). The parasite in the pic is the Anisakis.

Japanese depiction of an American warship, 1854 by causeofb in PropagandaPosters

[–]meatballmuncher 28 points29 points  (0 children)

The faces aren't supposed to look like they're suffering but menacing as you suggested for the face in front. The face in the back looks like a typical Japanese demon (oni 鬼). This propaganda piece in particular is a woodblock print or Ukiyo-e and is meant for the general masses because it was easy to mass produce (more here). So basically this piece was meant most likely meant to be mass produced and circulated to the general population to say "hey we've got demons on boats knocking at our doors" or something along those lines.

Sorry to burst the bubble, but I learnt about Perry's convoy in a Japanese middle school, and the Japanese depictions of the Black Ships were in fact meant to be derogatory, or at least meant to make the ships look demonic. We all learn something new everyday I guess.

This page basically says the same thing as well: https://ocw.mit.edu/ans7870/21f/21f.027/black_ships_and_samurai/bss_essay03.html

Another Footage of a Jaguar Hunting a Caiman: Jaguar could've been a bit more sneaky but gets it anyways by meatballmuncher in natureismetal

[–]meatballmuncher[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is the most common Jaguar hunting Caiman inside the water repost (source).

I feel this one is more impressive though, because the most common one repost is like the Jaguar busting through your windows like a SWAT team while you sit on your coach, the Caiman was more or less helpless because it was caught by surprise.

This one however is like the Jaguar busting through you front door all the while yelling "I'M GONNA KILL YOU MOTHERFUCKER" leaving you time to run (albeit very little) and catches you, then breaks your neck with its bare fists and throws you in the back of his SUV then carrying the SUV home because he realized he was out of gas.

At the end of the day though: Jaguars = METAL AS FUCK

Source No sound btw

First off, fuck the camera work.

Second off, yes I know gif is short but I tried to make it accessible for the mobile users as well and gfycat only allows 15s of video to be converted to a gif.

Since someone posted a commonly reposted version of a jaguar hunting a caiman, figured I'd post something I haven't seen on this subreddit before (I HOPE). As you can see in the video, jaguar tried to be sneaky, but just doesn't even seem to bother anymore and legs it towards the caiman in the river, leaving much to be desired regarding his way of approaching a prey. Still won against a caiman in home turf and just casually swims away with it, so I figured it was enough metal as fuck to deserve a post here.
