Japan is weird. I love it (Part 7)

Ok, the title might be slightly misleading, but there is still a Japan-link. 

So, pufferfish. Specifically, a wikipedia entry called Pufferfish mating ritual. 

Long story short, one particular species of pufferfish make complex geometric circles in the sand to attract a mate. And this particular species is found only in Japan. 

It's beautiful. It's bizarre. And it's absolutely amazing. 

From the wikipedia entry: In a 2014 documentary by the BBC, narrator David Attenborough describes pufferfish as "dull, almost to the point of invisibility. But to compensate, he is probably nature's greatest artist."

Cracks me up.

I went to Zao and loved it.

Please don't tell anyone.

Let the idiots go to Tokyo, Osaka and Kyoto

  • Godzilla Minus One: Surprisingly emotional and poignant

    When one thinks of Godzilla movies, one imagines an oversized amphibious dinosaur generating a terrifying heat ray from its mouth and fighting with other oversized monsters. Meh, nothing special, right? Wrong. Here’s why Godzilla Minus One should be an action movie you should definitely catch. In this version, the timeless clash between monster and man is once again set against the tumultuous backdrop of post-war Japan. But, unlike typical action films that dive headfirst into destruction a

    I have a new favourite game - Dave the Diver!

    Nowadays I think many people have a Nintendo Switch, considering how it is often given away as a free gift when you sign up for credit cards,etc. Instead of just playing Mario Kart, Overcooked and Pokemon, I have another game to introduce to you all! The game is Dave the Diver. This game has completely captivated me with its delightful blend of adventure and relaxation. From the moment I dove into its vibrant underwater world, I was hooked. The gameplay mechanics strike that perfect b

    Are forums outdated? I try to find out by asking AI

    Is your boss asking you to explore and learn how to use AI to improve the quality and efficiency of your work? Yup, you aren't the only one in that boat.  Whilst exploring new AI tools, I figured: Why not use it to answer some burning questions that I have? This time, it was about whether forums are outdated.
