Weird Random facts

I love learning new things no matter how useless the information. So naturally I’ve decided to share them. My commentary is just there to fill in the space. There is so much more then what I’m gonna put in here but I’ll cut it down for length reasons. I might just have to make more entries of this “Weird facts” topic. And since I’m done with all the posted assignments for school for the next week, I got time… and holy crap, I just saw It's been 2 years since I've posted to this blog... I better get writing yo! 

In Japan, there are more Vending machines than people: 23 to 1
I think I could just make a whole entry of all the interesting and weird stuff in Japan. I’m not knocking Japan one bit… I love all the beautiful and crazy shit that country has to offer, I mean that’s half my people and all. All of it super fascinating to me.

But anyways, on with the list. Of course there’s the normal ones like sodas and candies and I’m sure there’s a whole lot more weirder ones then what I have listed here.

• milk
• ice cream
• beer and tobacco
• umbrellas
• flying fish soup
• crepe
• hot food
• ramen
• burgers
• bread in a can
• pantyhose
• hot canned soup
• condoms
• rice
• eggs
• fruit
• vegetable and salad
• reading glasses
• batteries
• surgical masks

One super weird one that got banned by their government was used school girl underwear vending machines… Yes you read that right.

A Greek-Canadian man invented the pineapple pizza
No joke, on several occasions I did have people ask “why do you guys put pineapple on your pizza?” Bruh! We never invented this shit! Just cuz there’s pineapple on it and it’s called a “Hawaiian pizza” doesn’t mean the Hawaiians came up with it. Some Greek dude that moved from Greece to Chatham, Ontario opened up a pizza shop and during their experimental phase, put it on for fun to see how it tasted and I guess it got a lot of takes, because you see it everywhere now.
Oh it’s pizza and I’ll still gonna eat the shit out if it, but it’s funny when people order pizza for everyone and says “Skully! I got you your favorite pizza” aww thanks you fuckin racist!… joking of course.

Pogonophobia is the fear of beards

LOLS!!!! For reals? I read that and had to research more.
So here are some reasons why people fear beards:

• they may have had a negative experience with a bearded person
• unfair stereotypes about people with beards
• misunderstanding cultural norms that require people to grow facial hair
• associating facial hair with illness or being unclean

Now that last one had some extra study attached to it. In a 2018 study they found that beards contained “significantly higher” amounts of bacteria than dogs do. Yikes! But when groomed very well it looks so hot on some dudes.
*so I googled "Hot guys with beards" for my picture that I wanted to put here and the first picture was of Hagrid, lols!!!...So I'll just use it. 

The average adult spends more time on the toilet then they do exercising
In a 2017 study found that adults spend an average pf 3 hours and 9 minutes on the toilet and only 1 hour and 30 minutes being physically active. I’m gonna assume they did a study on people with constipation, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, or someone who took their phone into the bathroom.

Mulan has the highest kill-count of any Disney character

She killed over 2,000 people. 1,994 of them were killed in the avalanche she started.
I’m gonna assume they are not counting all the innocent casualties any of the Avengers (now part of Disney) have inadvertently killed throughout their films.

The water on our planet is very old
The water we have now is the same water that existed hundreds of millions of years ago. The next time you drink a glass of water, you could be drinking dinosaur pee. Think about that.

Squirrels plant thousands of trees every year
Simply by forgetting where they put their acorns. Thank you little squirrels! Everyday is Arbor day!

Sharks kill fewer than 10 people per year. Humans kill about 100 million sharks per year

73 million of those sharks are killed only for their fins.  Shark fin soups, other shark fin dishes. It has no nutritional value but is believed to have the benefit of virility and longer life… “believed” being the operative word here. After they’re caught they have their fins cuts and their bodies still alive, tossed back into the water to sink to the bottom of the ocean where they die slowly by drowning, bleeding to death or being eaten alive by other sea dwellers. So sad.

OK that last one depressed me so I’ll end this with a funny one just to lighten the mood…

Lobsters pee out of their faces... Ew.
Lobsters have urine-release nozzles right under their eyes. They urinate in each other's faces as a way of communicating, either when fighting or mating. Lobsters are super into golden showers I guess! Awesome!

I hope y’all learned something… and had a chuckle or two along the way. See learning useless facts is fun. Don’t say I never taught you nothin’!

I HATE litter #2

For the people that know me, its no surprise... I HATE litter. I mean come on, this is the second blog I've made dealing with the subject. I know I will be repeating myself for the most part, but I don't give a shit, this is my blog.
the following link is the first one I wrote 2 years ago.
Please Stop Littering #1
I hate people that litter most of all because ultimately, that's where it starts... people.
Well I take that back, it might be from that bastard raccoon that goes into your trash cans during the night and tears the shit out of your trash that you so responsibly put in the proper receptacles... OK sorry off topic.
Anywhos, The spark that lead me to write another trash blog (trash because its about rubbish, not because my blog is trash, fuck you! anyways...) because recently I saw pictures of Canal Saint-Martin in Paris drained and cleaned. The first time since 2001 the last time taking out more then 40 tons of garbage and debris. That's a fuckin' whole lot of trash for 4.5 Kilometers of canal. For more amazing pictures, you can just google it. I'm sure you'll be surprised at the crap that was in there.
I love how they carefully caught the fish and moved them. I was thinking, did they put the fish back after? But I'm assuming they just put them on the other side of the canal dam, but I really don't know, but either way, the fish were safe.
I mean the shit that they found at the bottom. Thousands of bikes and mopeds, tons of bottles, boomboxes, cameras, phones. Some things I'm sure was dropped in there by accident, but majority of the crap in there you know were deliberately tossed in. Its so sad.

And the next picture, we've all seen this... Over filled public trash cans and people STILL pile their trash on top of it. I'm so sorry I know it's not your fault that the property management people didn't empty the trash fast enough, but when you see shit like this and you just add to this mess, piss off. You are no better then the people that just toss their trash on a sidewalk. You're still littering despite the fact that you put your trash "around" a trash receptacle. You bought that fast food right? You own all that packaging (cups, wrappers, bags) that it came in. You are responsible for properly disposing of that rubbish, not leaving it somewhere for someone to come along and pick up after you. With the attitude "It's someone else's job to pick it up". Um not really motherfucker!. That's YOUR responsibility. It's only their job because of assholes like you who think it's ok to leave rubbish around. People suck.

The next two pictures I found were from a concert event and tailgate party...
What the Fuck!... terrible!
No respect for anything seriously! And of course, all these people that did this in their minds..."other people are gonna clean this up tomorrow while I'll be at home, comfy in my bed nursing a hangover because, I'm a piece of shit"... I sound disgusted?... naaahhhh you think?

Call someone out on that shit and if they really think, yeah it was wrong, I guarantee you that most of their excuses were, I was drunk I didn't mean to. If you really look at most of these pictures of mass gatherings majority of the trash on the ground are bottles of alcohol. I did have a spring break picture in here but I figured since I vented in my last post about those idiots I won't put one here.
Even if people go camping in the woods or parks where really you'd think people that go to these places would have a bit more respect for nature, not always the case. OK so I will admit that this pic I didn't dig for an explanation as to where this was or what the circumstance around it was. Like who knows, maybe these people got chased out of their camp site by a machete wielding grizzly bear and had to ditch all their stuff, I don't know. OR!! maybe those darn raccoons are back and tore into those trash cans again. I... don't... know.
Next is Summer Solstice at Stonehenge....
It's a fricken wonder of the world!! according to some lists, I'm confused on that because some say it is and some say it isn't and some say it is, what ever! It's a monument though and these asshats that went to the summer solstice sunrise decided to just desecrate the grounds with their hippie trash. A monument!!!!  Ugh!!!! I'm so mad I could punch a hippie in the face!

Alright I'm done...and the next pics are more of the poor wildlife that has to suffer for our irresponsibleness.

Did Dinosaurs really exist?... Yes!!! idiots!!!

Why are there still people who don’t believe in Dinosaurs?
I don’t understand this and probably never will.
No matter how much actual physical evidence paleontologists find, people still don’t believe they ever existed. Which saddens me so much. Evidence!

Museums with dinosaur bone displays have non believers walk through them inspecting, and criticizing the bones and clearly seeing that the bones are not real, but plaster mold replicas, and they take that as their sign that dinosaurs are "fake" and scientists are making this shit up. They don't understand that most museums have several real bones and to complete the rest of the majority of the structure needs to be filled in with plaster bones. Just the sheer appreciation of knowing that something of this massive size once roamed the earth some 100 million years ago isn't enough for some.
I'd love to build a time machine and shove them all in and set it to the Mesozoic Era. Just to be nice, send them to the more recent of the 3 periods just because the lands already split by that time and its the cooler of the 3. The first flowering plants, insects and tree climbing mammals live now. So hopefully the non-believers that I now realize that I sentenced to their death, can have some of shred of survival. Besides, the Cretaceous Period is when my favorite dinosaur lived... The Triceratops. So I'll slightly be jealous because they'll be able to see one. Aye, WTF am I talking about. Anywhos!!!! moving on.

I am partial to creationists. They believed dinosaurs existed, but they believe dinosaurs existed when humans did. They believed people were created on the 6^th day the same time as the dinosaurs. I do have a problem with this, but hey, at least they believed dinosaurs existed right?  Haha

Then of course the more I read the more ridiculous it sounds and my respect for their belief in dinosaurs slowly fades as I kept reading about what exactly their “belief” entails. 7 kinds of dinosaurs made it on Noah’s Ark. /face palm. The “Flood” killed all the dinosaurs that didn’t make it on the Ark. Dinosaurs were all herbivores and so they didn’t eat man. Evolution of birds from dinosaurs are inconceivable because birds were created on the 5^th day. Dinosaurs are not mentioned in the bible because the word “Dinosaur” was first thought up of in the 1800s. But it does use the Behemoth, and Leviathan references that some believe was indeed pertaining to Dinosaurs. So that’s where they believe that Dinosaurs existed alongside man.

Now back to the ones that completely don't believe in Dinosaurs. I'm never one to knock what people believe in, however that usually pertains to that of which there is no physical evidence for, so imagine away. Dinosaurs do NOT fall into this category thus my struggle to understand. So much scientific proof and physical evidence, I cannot say that enough, and people still don't believe. Parents that do not want their child to learn of anything Prehistoric and earlier. That's naive and ignorant. Parents that suppress any form of historic learning from their child is just sad. No I'm not only talking about dinosaurs, just prehistory in general. Deprive your child from learning everything and anything about true history they possibly can is abuse in my opinion. If I had a kid, they would be the smartest little shit in the whole world.

 I LOVE DINOSAURS!!!!

Identifying gender with color

Its a light topic that just swirls around in my head.
Why do we associate color with gender? Why do boys have to wear blue and girls have to wear pink. Ok ok. So maybe when most babies pop out you cant tell what gender they are and parents use it to dress their babies so other people know. I work at a baby store, trust me I am thankful for the pinks and blues that customers dress their babies in, cuz if not for that, the question I'd be thinking to myself most is, "what is it?" Sometimes they do throw a curve ball at me and a baby is wearing greens, greys and yellows...
I'll just keep my mouth shut.
But then there are parents that completely catch me off guard.
Story time.
Specific style bottle from a brand comes in a purple tint. It does not come in blue or clear. The lady's reaction to this dilemma was unexpected...
"I would never let my son drink from a purple bottle"
OK what??
It's a fuckin baby, it's a fuckin bottle. She said it with such disgust at the thought of her son drinking from a purple bottle. A color, that in her mind apparently ONLY identifies with the female gender.
My reaction was just "oookkkaaayyy, it's just the color of the bottle" and I politely left her to her decision on what ever bottle color she felt was appropriate to give to her kid. When kids get old, clothes is a different story. Styles and the cuts for boys are different yet they still make pink boy polos and pink plaid shorts for boys. They still give that option, and yeah, its up to the parents to buy it.
I really don't know why It bothered me so much, it's just fuckin colors of the products. I don't have kids so no, I don't know what it's like to actually give my kid something to use or wear.
This next encounter didn't bother me so much. A Lady and her mother was looking for bottles.
The blue tinted bottles were on clearance and more then half off the price of the pink bottles (exact same, just different packaging). I pointed out the clearanced ones, the ladie's mom kindly said "oh I like the pink ones, It's my first grandchild and she's gonna be a spoiled princess with everything pink. Grandma is buying it.". That made me laugh, and like I said, it didn't bother me. It was in a different color choosing circumstance I guess.
I've heard on several occasions people would tell me that I would be an awesome mom. Why? I wonder. Is it because I'd let my kids express every weird aspect of their personality. I'd let my kids go out in clothes that doesn't even match. My little girl wants to wear a pirate hat and a tutu... well shit, you go right ahead.
However seeing what things cost nowdays, and being better at my spendings. I work retail, I know things on clearance are there for manufacturer cycle reasons and not because the product is second class. I would never be opposed to shop on the clearance. My son won't grow up damaged if he drinks out of a pink bottle that I bought on clearance because the manufacturer simply changes the packaging. My daughter won't grow up scarred because mommy bought her a pacifier with blue trucks on it. You might think, but you can't talk any of this crap, you don't have kids. This is true, but if I did I wouldn't be a color gender identifying bigot neither.

The people I love and keep around.

I am fortunate to have friends, and family even, that don't take it personal when we dont communicate on a regular basis. We know we are there for eachother and wont go anywhere, and we dont need constant reassurance about it. My friends know that I do like to keep to myself, they invite me places, and don't take it personaly when I kindly decline. I love them all for that. They dont get upset when my answer is "naw, ima stay home". I'm a bit older then the people around me now, I've done my fair share of going out and partying when I was younger back home. Seemed to get into trouble, didnt make the best choices back then and I'm kinda over it... A tell all would be rather interesting, if I ever did one. My point to that last part was simply to say, I've done the whole going out, I like my alone time now, and no one gives me shit bout it.
I am the type person, as Im sure with many others, that we know our friends and family have busy lives, we know that they have alot to do in their own lives that not to sound mean, but it does trump a phone call or text to you. And I'm ok with that.
Its sad because I know people that get all butt hurt because their once best friend now doesn't talk to them as much as they used to for some reason or another. They got a new boyfriend, they just got married, they had a new baby, they got new job, what ever the "new" thing in their life might be all they thought about was the fact that they hardly talk to them anymore... But you know what, communication works both fuckin ways. It would be a completely different story if you tried to keep contact, but they didn't resond with a simple text or an email. If you get a response saying, "I don't have time for you anymore, so we won't talk anymore.." Then you know what you have to do.
I dont cut people out of my life because they get to busy for me. Most single people surrounded by friends with families know where and how far to draw the line. You don't say "make time for me, I don't care if you have a family to go home to at night, lets go get shit faced and stay out all night"... NO you just don't do that. Or "hey my single friend just got a new boyfriend and now she has no time for me so ima not talk to her anymore" are you fuckin serious. Instead of being happy for her that she found someone, you get all bent out of shape because what? she has someone in her life now that fills a lonely void she had? Was she your only friend and you dont have anyone else to talk to? Goodness forbid you talk to or go out and do something with your own husband or kids. Did they do you wrong in some way?... no? then its that friend who should really re-evaluate keeping you in their life.
I will admit, I've cut people out of my life. It's been over many things, But to be honest, I don't feel like any of my reasons were pety. You be the judge.
Supposed friend borrows money and makes it a point to say they'll pay you back, but never does, and drops off the face of the earth. Let me make it really easy for you not to have to pay me back, and to releave my own worries about getting used again... snip.
Friends that have no remorse of being in a relationship but still trying to fuck anything that moves. Being in an open relationship is one thing, but cheating and not having the balls to tell your partner it's not working out because you don't want that confrontation, is just a bitch thing to do... snip.
I walk a fine line with this one because I dispise people that have no respect for other people, their feelings  or things that do not belong to them. They have no regard for anyone else but themselves. Me, me,me,me,me. There's a difference in living your life for yourself vs. just being an arrogant selfish asshole. The latter, I can't stand with a passion. GTFO... snip
To sum this entry up...
I have no animosity towards anyone in my life. Majority of it can be squashed with talking if I feel like they are someone I want to keep in my life. Yes I will try, but most times if someone shows their true colors I get turned off real quick and feel no need to salvage anything. It's mean, but really easy for me to shug it off and cut someone out. And trust me they will know. Numbers disappear from my phone real quick.  The ones that I do still have in my life, I love them all, and I'm sure they feel the same.

Japan's Declining Population

There are many other foreign countries that have declining populations but this one I hold dear to me simply because I am half Japanese... Well if you wanna get technical, 1/4 Japanese 1/4 Okinawan. But anywhos, So I read several stories, interviews, researches and the findings were quite interesting. I'm sure Japan's population decrease reasons are similar to others, but like I said, this one I hold dear to my heart, and blood, and my hairy arms and sideburns, and my little mustache hairs which I have to maintain on a regular basis (kidding - Okinawans are short and hairy sterotypes).
Many things are contributing to the decline, but I'll only hit on a few that I read articles on.
So the following was simply a population chart that I found from an article.

Reasons for the decline had both to do with the Men and Women.
When you think of Japanese women most people automatically think of a Geisha. Which to crush the idea of what most think a Geisha really is, they are NOT prostitutes. They simply are groomed to be refined hostesses and entertainers. In a way they are the most successful form of a business women. It is an art form that they study for years. Trained to entertain and be independent and a way to support themselves and not have to become a wife to be supported. In my opinion you can see because of that, why would you need a man?
An interview with a Japanese business women(not a Geisha) She simply has a successful business to run, she sees settling down and having a family will end all of what she has worked for. Married Japanese women tend to just be housewives, serving her husband and staying at home with the children. She has her men, but commits to no one and nothing. Has no need for constant male companionship, and to me that is a very admirable trait.
Ahhh yes, we need the men to invent things like this... err, I'm assuming this was a male invention, UNLESS! a women came up with it to prevent the men from needing to dip their wick in anything... brilliant!

When I first saw a clip of the above pic, I laughed so hard. dafuq the Japanese coming up with now.  The device is a virtual reality experience which men strap into(a full suit) that has undulating(why the fuck am I using that word) breast like shape and feel nubs and a hammer looking object that knocks the men's junk. It's yet another sex alternative that the wonderfully disturbing mind of Japanese culture have come up with. When men have these types of non-human contact sex devices what do they need women for? They simply do no work and can reach climax by just sitting there (sorry for that description) Unlike a dildo, sex doll, or a pocket pu**y, or regular old fashioned jerkin' it, you don't have to do any work once strapped in and it does it all for you = win!
And then finally... a simple right-to-the-point reason, They just have no interest in procreating. As with Im sure of many current generation people feel the same, this world is ugly, so much diseases running rampant, so much lying, so much cheating, so much bullying, so many harmful things that people do not want to expose a spawn to, so much has changed since they were growing up.
Or in my sad case, you just cant seem to keep anyone around long enough to knock you up... SOOO FUCKIN KIDDING!!!!!
