It was a nice rainy, relaxing day. This time of day it would normally be dark, but for whatever reason it's brighter than it should be and it's really pretty to look up from my window and only see tree tops instead of ugly houses
also photoshop has a brush that works remarkably well as leaf silhouettes

For some reason this spring hasn't had much rain, which is a bad sign, but today there's a nice steady stream of rain clouds. The sounds of rain hitting the ground is just so relaxing.
Still, nothing compares to being in a windy rain in a forest and also hearing the tree's leaves move around. I've only experienced it once, but I was never more at peace then at that time.
Youtube is full of "10 hours of rain" stuff, but I don't think any of it would compare to the real thing. Some video games manage to make rain very atmospheric, though, especially if they have music tracks that only play during rain, or sometimes they remove the music so you hear nothing but the rain and it has a strong effect, too.

>Had to chop off some of the longer stems to get it to prop back up
A couple months ago I had enough of our honeysuckle vine being an unmanageable mess and gave it a severe trim. I removed like 90% of the branches, and after I did so I discovered that I completely forgot it had a trellis, but it outgrew it and put so much weight on it that it bent under its weight. I removed like 80% of the total mass of the plant and I was worried I killed it, but then I was reminded how foolish I was when Spring came and it proved its reputation as invasive plant that you need to keep isolated because it already grew like 8 new tiny branches in a few weeks.
I kind of wonder why there aren't honeysuckle farms where people use them for tinder or something because it's absurd how fast they grow

 No.2397

My uncle does that but he butchers and eats them. He tried getting sheep to raise them for wool but I think shearing was too much for him so he ate them as well.

only thing that comes to mind is when the design for space station solar panels that start packed into this folded configuration discovered by this japanese mathematician who was inspired by origami. you need to pull on it from just two ends and the creases would constrain the structure and transmit the force everywhere it needed to go to unpack the entire rectangular panel which was much bigger than the cubey thing it started as

could the tale of Ozymandias be interpretted as the philosophy of nhilism or would that be reading too much into what the poem is trying to say?

I met a traveller from an antique land,
Who said—“Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;
And on the pedestal, these words appear:
My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings;
Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.”

Iunno, my water heater is pretty shoddy. Here it is, after a gust of wind turned it off earlier today, I'm about to turn it back on.
The instructions say you have to hold down the left side of the middle thingy for 20 secs before selecting a heat setting but it often resets anyways and requires multiple tries. The stove isn't in great shape either, though it's not as finicky.
Do not envy those 15m showers though, that sounds awful. I'm very slow when it comes to those.

To other ESLs, does your native otaku community have any interesting idiosyncratic practices?

A few years ago, a new practice developed in Spanish-subbed OP/ED videos: rather than keep the subs at the bottom and/or top, they were instead both moved to the center of the screen. Large, bold italic sans serif for the translation, with smaller non-bold romaji below it. In many cases they are AMVs as well, rather than using the pre-existing video or a static image. Pic is a good example, which on top of the above has a watermark and is at 360p max, because of course it is. Compare it to these other three traditional English lyrics videos:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yq6VhQGz-no
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zeRksGNmk0w
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M6JB3monBI4
I searched for OPs in Portuguese, Italian, French, Indonesian, Thai, Arabic, at a glance it doesn't seem like they do this. The Chinese do have something like it, it appears:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S9IaLy7IN9M

Rather innovative imo. It looks like it started to hit the mainstream about four-five years ago, in great part thanks to a certain "meena♡" who had already been using the formula back in 2014:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qlLVz75Ag_s
They've got nearly a total of two hundred million views spread throughout a hundred and four videos, the most popular of which is Naruto's OP3 from five years ago standing at 64M views:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o-hzTmeCqN0
You can see it's a more primitive form because it doesn't yet feature romaji like the current standard. Neat.

The Spanish/Portuguese around this stuff does seem to be notably different from the others. They seem far less reserved and it gives them their own cultural identity. It kinda reminds me of the English internet 20 years ago to a degree. Well, at least this is my interpretation from what I've seen, I don't speak the language.

If I had to sum it up, I think I'd describe it as "less miserable".
People are much more forthcoming with their interests, fanfic is surprisingly more mainstream (at least with Dragon Ball, DB AF came out all the way back in 1999 and everyone knows about it, also see El Hermano de Jiren/Gohan Blanco), the attitude around loli is a lot laxer than in the anglosphere, and there isn't as much of a focus on refined taste, elitism, or fighting normalfaggotry (for better or worse). You don't have nearly as many hardcore 2D lovers as Japan's, but you don't have Anglo moralist crusaders either, and the concept of ironic weebs doesn't exist. East/west divide isn't as strong, as you can see with artists like Alkemanubis, perhaps because it's all foreign anyways.

Fall - Temperatures starting to cool, eat more to prepare for winter
Winter - It takes more calories to maintain warmth when it's cold, so you need to eat more
