@iiii yes, and that’s my point: their cars have “legendary” reliability because of the thing that has nothing to do with Japan and Japanese ways of making cars specifically
-
@rootshell ever dealt with german-made weapons?
-
@kiki luckily I've never had to deal with weapons in my life.
-
@AlgoRythm yes, cameras and camera gear do come out of japan, especially sensors. Optics though, Zeiss and Leica does make good lenses too, but they're expensive. Yet no one makes sensors these days but the japanese
-
@kiki you forgot that they ditched 3.5 floppy disks like two years ago from universities for papers, until then it was obligatory to give you paper on floppy. Check the correct information but i know it's been "recently".
Recently means up to 5 years to me.
Edit, fuck it was a year ago and government not universities, FML and FM memory.

> when you eat, you sit on the floor like a caveman. you eat with two sticks. really? how hard was it to invent a fucking fork?
really? you eat with a complicated-to-forge piece of metal instead of embracing the simplicity and elegance of "two sticks"? how hard is it to learn how to use your fingers? ;) -
@tosensei yeah, right. lack of sophistication is minimalism only if you're japanese
-
@kiki nah. more like:
minimalism seems like "lack of sphistication" to you only if you're a caveman. -
@kiki presence of sophistication is not necessarily good, like the absence is not necessarily bad
to me, japanese means unsophisticated. Idk whose idea all that weeb propaganda was, but:
- traditional japanese art: too simple, no sense of perspective, no sense of proportion. yes, even the great wave. look at any japanese painting pre-20th century, and then at any european renaissance-era painting. If you prefer the former, you're fucking blind
- when you eat, you sit on the floor like a caveman. you eat with two sticks. really? how hard was it to invent a fucking fork?
- traditional japanese furniture is trash. why all those complicated joints that look horribly after one year of use, especially if it's outdoors? don't you have nails or screws?
- sashimi is just uncooked sliced fish.
- cars are ugly and too basic. modern ones are unreliable too. the only way to make a gas car reliable is to overbuild it. volvo red blocks were indestructible because they operated at 8-12% of their horsepower limit compared to mechanical strength. take any engine, cut its horsepowers to one tenth of what it's capable of, and you'll get a reliable engine. it doesn't take any engineering talent. yes, there are foot guns, but if you're not doing crazy shit, you belong in this framework.
- no good software
- ugly, horror vacui websites and interfaces
- everything is so fucking crude
- nintendo is the same old mario crap repackaged again and again
- anime is the same basic plot again and again, just slop at this point.
- same with all gacha games
- it's all either cartoonish or borderline porn, with few exceptions
- no good porcelain (that's china and france, then soviet union)
weebs will say that it's okay, it's minimalism, and that I just don't get it.
if you want to sell something to weebs, take anything, make it 10x the price, and say that it came from japan, and every shortcoming is intentional. boom, done.
post-ww2 japan is a US colony that exists because of US money. The day US money is gone, japan will become china.
you need engineering, you go to germany. you need sophistication, you go to france. you need affordability and scale, you go to china.
japanese pm was assassinated in 2022 with a homemade pipe gun like it's 19th century or something. japanese minister in charge of IT doesn't know what a flash drive is and doesn't use a computer. Also, name a country with $54k+ GDP per capita that has so big of a problem with work culture that "death because of working too much" is a separate short word, that's how often it's used?
