Farmers in the US are getting sick of paying $80,000 for super-sized trucks that won't even fit into their barns.

They've been importing mini-trucks from #Japan that do the job and cost a lot less.

Another oddity is that boys and girls wear identical uniforms which look like serafuku (sailor suits) with shorts instead of skirts.

Perhaps we should deduce that the post-apocalyptic Japanese society has become less genderized, while still retaining European-style naval uniforms?

I lived in #Japan for 3 years and I absolutely loved it, but it was a lot more challenging than here in the United States. Everything from opening a bank account to paying taxes was unreasonably complicated, and not just due to the language.

I wanted to fund a tech startup in Tokyo, but these barriers made me reconsider the idea. Perhaps one day...

I heard なんか (nanka) and なんて (nante) countless times in #anime set in modern Japan.

I guessed from context that it's slang for something negative or annoying, but I wasn't sure about the meaning because there's no direct English translation. In fact, it's usually lost in subtitles.

I miss those delicious mini puddings found in Japanese convenience stores! 😋

This きみだけのプリン (kimi dake no purin) plays on the ambiguity between 君 (you) vs 黄身 (egg yolk). So it's either a "pudding of egg yolk only" or... "only you pudding".

Suji Yan has acquired #Pawoo, making him the largest owner of #Mastodon (and fediverse) instances. I suspect Pawoo changed hands for reasons similar to mstdn.jp and mastodon.cloud: to avoid #legal liabilities for not moderating enough (remember Pawoo's domain was briefly suspended in September? Also, the latter two were sold amid legislative efforts to combat #cyberbullying in #Japan ). This, be it recentralization or #moderation, should concern all #fediverse (especially #Japanese) users.

Such a gorgeous car... the 1970 Nissan S30 Fairlady Z (aka Datsun 240Z outside of Japan) 😍

Her mother lives in this "reformed" rural house.

Not visible in this picture, the back of the house retains the original structure with an engawa (縁側).
