What are you reading? Anonymous 01/15/20 (Wed) 01:49:28 No.632 [Reply][Last 50 Posts]

Let's talk about the books/manga/etc that you are reading.

I'm halfway through After Dark by Haruki Murakami and I'm loving it, already bought another 3 books from him to read after this one

I got through the first two a year or two back. I really gotta finish the second half. The prose is so cool, I love the feeling of it. Utilizing antiquated terms in a new way lends it an interesting atmosphere.

Cartoons and Animation Anonymous 04/11/23 (Tue) 16:40:10 No.1199 [Reply]

I made a cartoon, something I'd put off for months, since it was about a dream I had months prior and couldn't remember very well.
It was about gas station pizza and long hours in the studio bumbling around.

Do you keep a COOL diary? Anonymous 01/14/26 (Wed) 18:44:23 No.1656 [Reply]

For me, writing down what has happened through a specific day seems lame, so instead, i give very vage thoughts that resonate with whatever it is that I experienced that day

I'm pretty sure that writing down little thoughts will make me remember the whole occasion without any problems even after 20 years

Do you sushis have anything like this?

I do the same thing, except I consider it useful, because writing the spiral out on paper means I'm not sending it directly to my ex or some other poor victim instead. For me, it's a core need, and it'll express itself one way or another eventually.

That's a cool idea!
I was thinking of doing something like that, kinda like a private version of a blog or website with cool designs.

I think these days it is very easy to let things slip by and be forgotten, so maybe it is good to keep a cool record of things you have done.

Interesting etymologies and assorted fun with words Anonymous 07/11/26 (Sat) 12:51:31 No.1770 [Reply]

I thought typhoon => taifuu (台風) was a borrowing of the word from japanese, like tsunami, but actually it seems to be the opposite.

What words piqued your curiosity recently?

>quadcopter should become quadropter
but that's missing the "spiral" part of the word, which is still present on a quadcopter. Quadro-pter would just be "four wings" which makes it sound like something that flies like a plane or bird.
Quadcopter works just fine as a contraction of "quad-helicopter"

Now, quadbike is a worse offender. "Four-two-wheels". Really? And it doesn't even have 8 wheels.

Anonymous 07/29/26 (Wed) 16:42:28 No.1787

I am not sure if I already talked about this one here, but it is one of my favorites.
The word for pistacchio comes from greek pistakion, which in turn from persian pistag. The persian word also went through arabic as "al-fustuq" and reached Spain where it turned into "alfóncigo", while at the same time the greek pistakion through italian pistacchio turned into the word "pistache."
Thus, in spanish, there are two very different words for the same idea, and with the same etymological origin.

reminds me of the "ornithopters" in dune, which they only mention by name and never describe. But the name is enough for a reader to make a mental image of them.

The proto-indo-european word "ḱr̥sós" went and descended down two separate paths to become both "horse" and "car"

cultivating the body Anonymous 02/13/24 (Tue) 13:24:43 No.1247 [Reply]

As with any other medium the body can be shaped in various ways. However it being linked to the one wielding it and having direct influence on their mind, it can be more difficult to work with.

If you are working on transforming your physical shell, feel free to report in.

1) Where are you at?
2) What is your goal?
3) What have you archived so far?
4) How do you plan to progress from there?

I've been trying to do weights and cardio 5 days a week, I just want to get fit and lose some weight. I've gotten stronger and a better stamina but I haven't seen much weight loss. So I'm starting a calorie deficit (currently 75KG, ideal would be 55-60KG).

back up to a 32 inch waist…need to either stop eating so much or accept my fate and buy larger clothing

Seisatsu !h/0s4cu6Oo 07/27/26 (Mon) 22:52:33 No.1782

I am at 170lbs, down from 195lbs at the beginning of this year. My goal is around 140-150lbs.

I tried taking Muay Thai classes late last year, but my shins and the bottom of one of my feet started getting unbearably sore, so I dropped out. The pain went away after several months of Calcium and Vitamin D supplements and taking it easy. I want to try again once I've lost enough weight to put less stress on my legs from the strenuous footwork.

I've been thinking of starting my own blog for some time. A place to share my thoughts, musings, reviews, etc.
I feel like it's partially an influence of my time on Lainchan and my time watching Luke Smith's videos that I want to do something more inline with how the internet used to be. But yeah, having my own website where I post my thoughts feels like a nice idea.
"The internet was at its best when it was a place for people who read books" is the sentiment I've internalised from those two aforementioned sources. For me to be more of a reader, and to share my musings on my website, would be cool! :D
