"Knew 'em? He was delicious!"

I think I get what they're saying. Basically "What if we collectively sought to bring each other up instead of engaging in competitive individualism?"

Heck, any chance you've got the full comic that panel is from? I've been looking for it for a while now, actually.

Not in the "hate" camp, but I'm very picky with anime. I recognize it's a wide genre with tons of legitimately great productions.

There's a lot of anime stuff that just irritates me for reasons I've not been able to put into words other than "it makes me cringe from embarrassment." Female characters that are less an interesting or fun character and more like an endless void of cutesy vibes and nothing more, the anime pratfalls to punctuate a joke, weird creepy stuff towards women, laughably edgy characters, changing art styles to something tonally clashing for comedic effect (only example I know off the top of my head is in Hellsing Ultimate, which I'll admit I've only seen in the form of the abridged series), overtly blatant fan service, all the characters being teenagers, etc. Tropes like these tend to irritate me to the point of getting in the way of my enjoyment of a show and it kills a lot of anime for me.

Been running through the Shaolin Afronauts' five album suite The Fundamental Nature of Being. If you like jazzy things and wanna step into something new - I'd still recommend Fela Kuti as one's intro to afrobeat, but the Shaolin Afronauts are damn incredible in their own right and absolutely worth a listen. Here's the opening song from the first part!

Is "sweat" the term for a collective of reddit users, much in the way a murder is the term for a collective of crows?

Not always. I've been to a couple pumps where none of the buttons did anything. At that point I'm tempted to get a squirt gun to spray into the speakers, hope it does something useful to the speakers.

Yes, and the reasoning behind why it's considered such is also detailed in the link itself. I figured I'd leave that link as a way for folks to read into it and learn where the claim originated from.

Which is exactly what I wanted to clear up with the Snopes link.

Now that's a name I haven't heard for a looooong time.

I vaguely recall having heard that before of somewhere out in eastern Asia, but I can't recall where at. I'd be curious to see what that's about.
