  the Smoking Gun. East Asia Haplogroup Population Genetics Study, showing the Urheimat of Finno-Ugric and Samoyedic groups (both grouped as Uralic now) in the area where people nowadays speak mandarin with that nasal rhotic twang. So, in simple terms, the Uralicized European religion followed by the Ancient Norse is so much like Shinto and Sindo and Shendao... Because they are the same basically.

  Right, so the architecture of the Yayoi culture in Japan has a few key elements that need to be pointed out. This is a storage building at Ise Jingu. Obviously, this is a very refined building at a sacred site, not a random farmhouse. BUT, there are some interesting commonalities between the Yayoi Architecture and the Nordic Stone Age architecture from Northern Europe, that were not part of the architectures of intervening peoples. The Eve Prop. That vertical post under the eves to support the...

  Comments on a 1930s Manga that they made an anime opening sequence for in 2000: Where's the rest of it???? Pity they never made this irl. This could be a good story. They're copying off of DC/Marvel. (this is the oldest super hero comic you dolts)

  Following the general naming convention of still-practiced forms of polytheism and animism, the Norse religion would probably be called "ásvegr". Just following the norms of polytheistic and animistic religions in naming themselves. They almost always call themselves the "way of the Gods" or "the way of the spirits". That's what ásvegr means. This word is actually used in Skaldic poetry and the sagas to refer to Norse Polytheism. So it is almost certainly the co...

  So I have a unique language study method, where I type conversation I pulled out of my head into a translation app, and check my assumptions of the meaning. It's like having a custom workbook for language practice. And you can see in real time if you forgot part of the sentence and if you put the words in the correct order. Do not use google kun for this, deepL works much better because the data it was trained on prioritizes books and newspapers instead of entries like google does. But it ca...

  I use this for carrying my groceries sometimes if I had stopped to shop spontaneously and didn't wanna buy a bag, since I often carry a milsurp shemagh (due to being pale-skinned and living in a desert). It only matters that a furoshiki is square and large enough.

  well, haven't thought about my afghan ex-friends in like 6 months. I think I will make a pot of chawwal and cry into it. Also, I don't know exactly what they put on that lamb they grilled for eid ul adha, but that was fire. there's a certain special sadness that comes from leaving islam, that does not easily fit into a box. It is not just that you feel tricked and lied to and you leave and that's it. It's not just the betrayal. It is also the thing where being muslim ca...

  I should probably get a gaming PC prebuilt so I can just play some basic games and have some modicum of social interaction. The parts I already have can be used to upgrade it, or something, or I could go to a parts shop or something and see what they have? Will have to finish building my dream pc optimized for MMOFPS games later. I just can't find parts online right now and got scammed 2x where parts never showed up... So I will have to go to parts stores and browse off of a list and hope fo...

  I left off somewhere around ep 575 of One Piece. Guess I better catch up. It started when I was a child. https://www.crunchyroll.com/watch/GY5VJ720Y/arriving-a-burning-island--punk-hazard yeah, a bit after this, but I may as well watch this whole season since I don't remember how much I've seen.

  How to write song lyrics: Syllables and Tempo: It's easy, there's a really simple rule for being able to tell genre by the length of the lines of the lyrics, and the inverse is also true. We can assume 4 syllables per line for the main body of pop and rock, and 16 for rap, and 5 for classical/ American folk, and 7 for Middle Eastern and East Asian music. Count your syllables. The actual tempo isn't that important for writing the rhymes at first. Pop and rock should be a neat 1...

  Similarities between the Norse God Odin and the Shinto Kamisama Izanagi no Mikoto, listed clearly: Both played a role in Creation Both carry a divine spear Both are Father figures who created/ birthed humans. Both are married to the main Mother figure of their mythologies. Both have a Sun Goddess, Moon God, and Storm God among their children. Both are at odds with Fire Gods. *Ahem* ancientnortheurasians *cough cough*

  I got emotional seeing a really beautiful sword. Chat, am I cooked? To be fair, it's an 800 years old Kanehira Odachi valued at 1.5 Million USD being shown off by the current Masamune, and that's hella epic.... like..... oh. It's 100% tamahagane and done entirely by hand. So, that perfect curvature and detailed workmanship in something that old is just incredible. The hamon has little swirls in it. So, it's the actual wave pattern, not the fake one. So what I mean, is it's...
