Why should threads die? Isn't there a reason to keep around everything on the chance that somebody goes through the site and finds something that gets them to reply even if it's in the far future?

it's not like threads are standardized across imageboards, there's no central nomenclature to consult much less for non-general threads

When are we going to invent some sort of Sci-Fi brain flushing that simulates 8-10 hours of sleep in a few minutes or something? Actual sleep is so gay and inefficient. I’d rather spend my time working on things I want to do than sleeping. And when I neglect sleep I get even more inefficient and my brain becomes more frustratingly haywire as it becomes impossible to focus or accomplish anything or hold onto any thoughts. I despise sleep and sleep deprivation. I want it gone.

I flipping love sleep and will often lie in bed for an hour even if I don't fall asleep. I also regularly sleep between eight and twelve hours. No I am not depressed, I just like it a lot.

>some sort of quantum functionality
This can mean a lot of things, mitochondria and their electron transport chain have quantum functionality as well in how it manipulates electrons to jump/tunnel from one point to another step by step. This means that literally all cells in your body use quantum functionality to stay alive, which in principle shouldn't be a surprise given that it's been gradually built up from the most basic laws of physics. We should expect miniscule entities to be using the laws of miniscule-scale physics.

I find sleep very relaxing and peaceful, although it's annoying when you NEED to sleep and you can't. In this theoretical scenario I don't think I'd want to remove sleep and resting, but maybe make it, uh, optional? Recreational sleeping!
Eliminating the need to sleep seems like something so far beyond us that I would expect biological immortality to happen before it. So many things only happen during sleep or "downtime" that it seems extraordinary complicated for it to happen during full consciousness. Stuff like bodies growing, memories forming and waste disposal inside the body.
Even plants that obviously don't sleep wait until night to perform certain processes.

Did some basic calculations and realized if I ever wanted to switch to an image tagging software I'd need to spend around half a year tagging if I wanted to go through all my various strewn about images...

How do people use that software, or did you guys all just start using it before your collection grew too big?

I use this model when doing AI tagging stuff to test out prompts. It's quite remarkable as it even does a pretty strong job of identifying popular characters. I think it's probably overboard when it comes to how many tags it can produce, however, as I'm not sure how often people specifically want to categorize something like "collarbone".

More than sorting your images, people should always name their images relevant things so that when I need to find something specific on the archive I can remember what it was and then search up keywords to get it quickly if I didn't save it.

Going to Japan this summer, and I really want to avoid sticking out as some obnoxious foreigner. I was wondering if there's any helpful tips for how to conduct oneself or what'd really stick out to wear around so I can avoid packing it. It seems like a country that's pretty tolerant so it's not like I'll get beat up for just being a normal tourist, but I also don't want to come off as some unkempt freak who gets judged everywhere I go. To maximize my enjoyment of the trip I've been looking to find out what is and isn't acceptable and what's social faux pas or things to avoid.

For example, I was reading up on Japanese law recently and learned that under Act No. 52 of 1999 it's actually illegal to buy JCs off the streets. Which is just an important reminder to /qajp/ that you should always check the laws of where you're going to!

snacks thread Anonymous 04/26/25 (Sat) 15:45:22 No.151989 [Reply]

I don't know if this really can develop into a full thread, but I wanted to share the secret to great stream popcorn that I found recently and didn't really think it fit any thread. I got pure coconut oil with beta carotine and some flavacol melted and mixed into a kettle/pan and I add some popcorn kernels then heat it up. Produces a shitload of movie theater quality or better popcorn for less than it'd cost you to get a microwave pack. Absolutely love it and recommend anyone who likes popcorn try it out too.

I don't eat snacks, but my Father came down with a type of kidney disease that caused him to have to cut salt down to below recommended daily values which basically changed his eating habits. Something my mother got for him were these dried corn stuff.

They're not very exciting but the texture is nice and has good crunchyness.

I make these really yummy 'poor man's pizzas'. Get some english muffins, pizza sauce, cheese and whatever toppings you desire. Cut muffins in half. Add sauce and cheese+toppings. Bake at 375F for 10-15 minutes.

It's cheap and tastes really good. It's how I broke my habit of buying those over prices frozen french bread pizzas. In fact, making pizza at home in general is very cheap and easy. I can't believe people pay $20+ for large pizzas when they're so easy to make at home.

First time eating beef stew after it was frozen for a bit. It's, uh.. huh. It's not as flavorful, but the texture isn't as bad as I thought it would be. The main issue is the the water seemed to separate from the other ingredients in the broth so it's like stew chunks in water. Edible.

Why is it that every service experiences activity drops at night?
China, India and Indonesia are all in Asian time zones when North America and EU are mostly asleep. Yet Steam, a largely international platform experiences usercount drops when these high-population countries are awake?

OP, i think you got this entirely backwards.

You're looking at 04:00 UTC, but in china, indonesia, and india, this would be around 09:30 - 12:00 local time, a time when most of these would be at work or on other day activities.
A more correct time to look at would be when these groups are actually free and at home, I.E. in the afternoon/evening in their own timezone. And 13:00 UTC would be around 18:30 - 21:00 in their local time, a time when most of these groups have probably gotten home and able to play games.
13:00 UTC is also about 08:00 in CST, a time when most americans have just woken up for work, and 14:00 in CET, and time when europeans are still at work. Few of which that are probably playing games on steam.
Yet, guess when peak steam player count happens (in UTC)?

I've taken notice of my poor health and mental faculties and I think that my diagnosis is I need more sleep. The issue with this is that I don't know how to sleep early or long and my brain resists the urge to give up precious time to be doing other things besides lying still. How do you convince yourself to sleep?

How is your sleep hygiene?
https://www.checkli.com/checklists/guest_view/681b63c171238
My score is at 14/20.
I think I usually sleep pretty well, just at the wrong times.
What helped me most with my sleep was getting proper sun-blocking window covering. Without them, my room gets extremely bright sunlight in the early morning. It was kinda apparent when I noticed that I only ever slept really well in winter after I moved to this room. I'm still bad at going to bed early though...
I've recently started watching Call of the Night. Rather than encouraging me to sleep early, I now feel like going out at night... Still seems like a fun show though.

What >>153917 said.
Bedtime is the easiest time to get random intrusive or stressful thoughts. You're not preoccupied with anything so your mind wanders, and if you're stressed or worried you could easily start fixating on them. If the problem has ways of being solved, like a "social safety net" then you don't worry about it. It's just a peace of mind thing.

Left 4 Dead 2: Road to Gensokyo Edition Anonymous 04/30/25 (Wed) 13:02:34 No.152852 [Reply][Last50 Posts]

This Friday, May 2nd, I plan on hosting Left 4 Dead 2 for kissu, at around 7 PM EST, give or take 30 minutes. On my server there is a special plugin that lets you choose your own player model, similiar to other games such as Sven, and there are many different Touhou models to choose from. The player limit is at the maximum of 31. The server is also on an older version of L4D2, and it will be (almost) required that you use the special client that I provide (unless you absolutely know what you are doing). The client will use a revemu crack so that you don't need to own the game or have Steam or anything to play, so it is completely standalone. The links for the game download and any optional mods will be posted later as I have yet to prepare a fresh download link. I have not decided on any campaigns to do, but I may just host all the vanilla campaigns in a marathon.
This has been hosted on 4/jp/ before as well, and I may advertise it there one last time to catch any stragglers before future hosts are permanently moved.

my mom wanted to put me on it, but i feel like it will deny me any chance of having a proper life(or at least the one i want to have) and i really hate the idea of being marked like that...
