What do Adolf Hitler and Anne Frank have in common?

Japan is now offering paid bereavement for employees whose favourite idols retire to get married.

If I were in charge of balancing Pokemon, Steel wouldn't be weak to Fire because jet fuel can't melt steel beams.

Russia has been banning anime and Konosuba is the latest target. According to the press,

The court is worried that Russian children will watch Konosuba and be convinced to commit suicide. Source.

Maybe it's just me but I find this hilarious...

In the WN Ankoku Kishi, the main character is summoned by the Demon King to kill the Hero (the summon of The Goddess). The Hero has a bunch of anime babes with him, while MC Kuroki has...a male rat for companionship.

The LN editor took one look at this script and went "shamefur dispray" and changed the rat into a tinker bell, because LN readers weren't going to tolerate the feeling of emasculation that comes from knowing the MC's only friend is a male rat while the "hot guy" gets all the girls.

Jean-Claude van Damme, on air:

Quote:
••I am fascinated by air. If you remove the air from the sky, all the birds would fall to the ground. And all the planes, too.

••Air is beautiful, yet you cannot see it. It's soft, yet you cannot touch it. Air is a little like my brain.

••When I walk across my living room from my chimney to my window, it takes me 10 seconds, but for a bird it takes one second, and for oxygen zero seconds!

••Obviously I've taken drugs.

Loki's favourite anime, Kanojo Okarishimasu AKA Rent-A-Girlfriend has a mobile gacha game. The mobile game started featuring girls from other franchises with the following explanation:

-it was isekai
-no money or memories
-start renting themselves out for money

All the girls are fully voiced by their original actresses. When you consider enjou kousai is just a step above prostitution and often does include it, this creative decision is meta-complex and really funny.

Here's the cast!



DomeKano, Fire Force, Fairy Tail...jajajajajaja.

Please stop saying things that aren't true about me. It's far from favorite, I just said it was a decent show with relatable characters/scenarios. You don't see me going around talking how you claimed ReZero S2 was a masterpiece.

I was obviously joking. That analogy doesn't work anyway because I loathe RZ:S2 so saying it's my favourite doesn't even qualify as an exaggeration.

Pieces of eight were the origin of the "$" dollar sign, and they were legal tender in the United States up until the mid 19th century.

Based on recent evidence, historians suggest that Thor, God of Thunder, may not have actually existed.

Due to an ever-increasing number of severe seasonal weather events, the World Meteorological Organization has announced that, due to a shortage of available names, they've signed a 10-year agreement with Nintendo to license the names of Pokemon for use in identifying natural disasters.

The partnership kicked off with the severe Category 5 hurricane en route to touchdown in New York City being nicknamed, "Hurricane Rayquaza". Reception to the choice on social media was mixed. Some in the twitterverse allege that Rayquaza can't learn Hurricane. New Yorkers who were flooded by Hurricane Ida reacted positively towards the name choice, relieved that the incoming storm wasn't labeled "Hurricane Kyogre".

Wikipedia has an infobox dedicated to common attacks by animals on humans. Alligator attack...wolf attack...bear attack...shark attack.

And this.

The latest trend in isekai is for the MC to have a virgin mom.

The reasoning is that the MC having a dad is considered "NTR" or "cucking" to the reader, having an attractive mom who doesn't pair up with the MC.

So now the mom is a virgin, and eventually becomes an MC love interest.

I guess you could say "motherfucker" is no longer an insult; it's at least a trope, if not a sub-genre.

Lightyear is bombing in theaters.

But for those who saw the movie, apparently, the canon timeline for how it fits into Toy Story is:

1. Lightyear comes out in 1985, bombs, and the company that made it goes bankrupt.
2. It gets remade as the cartoon series Buzz Lightyear of Star Command, which Andy watches and gets a Buzz toy of
3. Andy rediscovers a VHS tape of the original Lightyear circa ~2004, when Toy Story 3 took place, and the viewer's watching it is Andy's viewpoint in 2004.

So it looks like life is trying to make art become real.

The US Supreme Court recently struck down a woman's constitutional right to choose.

I haven't noticed any changes, my wife could never make up her mind anyway!

In Marvel Comics, there's a super advanced hidden city in Africa, shielded by an invisible force field.

It's called Wakanda.

In DC Comics, there's a super advanced hidden city in Africa, shielded by an invisible force field.

It's called Gorilla City.

In L. Ron Hubbard's Battlefield Earth, a clan of the alien race "Psychlos" are a pastiche of Asian stereotypes.

He named them "Chinkos".
