Do you mean English loanwords or when people switch back & forth?

Lots of other languages have days named after the sun, moon, and 5 planets or the gods associated with the planets. Obviously we have Sunday and Monday, or lunes in Spanish, but that’s also why in Spanish, Mars = Marte, Tuesday = Martes. Probably most famously in English is Thursday coming from Thor’s day (Þunras dag) with Thor being the equivalent to Zeus or Jupiter, which is where jueves comes from in Spanish. In Spanish though their sun-day got remained to God’s day (domingo) and saturn-day to sabbath (sabado). Probably most interesting is that the connection even applies to Japanese. The days go in this order: 日月火水木金土 which means “sun moon fire water wood metal earth” which are the classical Chinese 5 elements connected to everything from the 60-year sexagisimal calendar to the bagua tao trigrams on the Republic of Korea flag. And if course, they’re also the names of the planets with Mars being fire-planet, Mercury being water-planet, Jupiter being wood-planet, Venus being metal-planet, and Saturn being earth-planet.

So the planet Jupiter (etc.) is to some degree represented in the Thursdays (etc.) of three different languages. Not really saying that this makes more sense than Portuguese, but I think it’s cool

In elementary school I read this book called “Flawed Dogs” and it was unforgettably wild. It’s about a dog who escapes some kinda confinement by jumping over a barbed wire fence and loses his back legs in the process, and then joins a dog gang and does dog gang activities. Also one of the dog gang members was a cat in disguise.
Honestly I should see if I can find a copy of it and reread it. It was pretty wild.

edit: I looked it up and maybe I have a lot of the details wrong but it’s still pretty wild

If anybody hasn’t heard of CITY, it’s essentially Nichijou 2. So excited that it’s getting an adaptation :)

I’ve never heard of TemTem before and plugging it into Google Trends, it looks like it’s not even comparable to Palworld. It’s still somewhat big, looks like 500,000 copies sold. But still doesn’t really compare to what appears to be nearly 20 million Palworld players.
Companies lose rights to protect their IP if they don’t protect it themselves, so it may be in their best interest to go after the big competitors and pretend they’ve never heard of TemTem.

Is it moral and ethical to pirate media?

This is a good one. I had a high school computer class and we had a quiz question that was something like:

Digital piracy is:
a. Moral and legal
b. Moral and illegal
c. Immoral and legal
d. Immoral and illegal

Of course, the only correct answer was “d”. I thought it was such a one-dimensional and purposely ignorant question. I’m not even a piracy advocate or anything, but that was kinda ridiculous.

Seconding AltSnap although I use normal controls with an Alt key bound to a mouse button. Special shoutouts to “Action menu” for all the cool stuff it lets you do and “Windows list” which is just a better version of Alt+tabbing if you have multiple monitors.

“Todos os Olhos” if anybody wants to look it up

I see a lot of tapes at thrift stores or even antique stores. You could also get a Bluetooth or AUX tape adapter which are conceptually very cool

#8 Beef Lemongrass banh mi style sandwich from a place called Baguette in Corvallis, Oregon, USA. I ate it many times in the short while I stayed there, probably 8-10 years ago. Sometimes I think about going back just to have it again…

Is Onimai close enough?

Imagus feels like in an alternate universe it could be default browser behavior. When you hover over an image it will expand to full resolution and then you can press buttons to open in new tab, download, zoom in, etc.
Works on pretty much any website and is nice if the website has sized the images too small or if your eyesight is less than great.

Yes, it’s very dry where I am.
My thought isn’t that 34° is (or isn’t) a problem, rather that without knowing where it is it doesn’t really mean very much. If OP is in Dubai or northern Mexico or something then 🤷‍♀️ 34 sounds pretty normal. I just think the post would make more sense with some context.
It’s always 34° somewhere in the world.

We don’t know where OP’s father lives so it’s kinda hard to think of 34° as anything particularly remarkable without any context. It’s 41° where I am right now.

I’m surprised only a handful of people have mentioned Ghibli movies. For me it was Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind, it’s probably one of the first movies I remember watching in general. Still my favorite Ghibli movie and I must have watched it dozens of times as a kid.
The source material for it is a manga by Miyazaki himself and it’s much longer and deeper (the movie only covers about 1.5 out of 7 volumes, and changes a lot of details). Highly recommended.

Source?

Everywhere? or in what country/place?

リリィ is a common way to write it, although I’m not sure why it’s more common than リリー (perhaps just cause the ィ is more of a phonetic addition rather than a semantic one). Here’s a list of fictional characters whose name is spelled リリィ. It’s probably supposed to be a less obvious way to evoke the idea of yuri. There seem to be a couple other series that have had similar titles like “Comicリリィ” or “アサルトリリィ Bouquet”.
Anyway, the “Lily” isn’t the only remarkable part of the title, what does “Momentary” mean here? Leave it to Japanese pop media to take random English words to make titles that kinda work? but wouldn’t really work well in English. Shoutouts to “Battle Tendency” and “Delicious in Dungeon”.
But yeah, it’s definitely not a localization of yuri/ユリ/百合 because the title doesn’t say that at all.
