@vaporeon_ @wallhackio I can't (maybe I could give it a crack later) but: they're making omelette rice

@The_T @vaporeon_ @wallhackio i tried getting google to translate it and it was. not very helpful lol

@aescling @The_T @vaporeon_ personally i think it's better this way

@aescling @The_T @wallhackio

"What the heck is made-o?"

@vaporeon_ @The_T @wallhackio “seat!!”

@aescling @The_T @wallhackio Clodsire, trying to tell Quagsire to sit down: "Seat!!!"

@aescling @vaporeon_ @The_T if AI is going to destroy world then it should at least be funny

@aescling @vaporeon_ @wallhackio I actually just struggled with the handwriting, but if one could convert the handwriting to computer characters I could use a Japanese dictionary and my general knowledge to actually give it a go

@aescling @The_T @vaporeon_ oh shit omurice is a kind of japanese omelet so "I'm eating Nuomuraisu" is a pun since Quagsire's japanese name is Nuoh, genius!!

@wallhackio @aescling @vaporeon_ fuck, disappointed I couldn't have gotten to that first

@wallhackio @aescling @vaporeon_ so in Sonic 2, in Metropolis Zone, there's an enemy, a praying mantis that throws it's scythe arms. In English, it's called Slicer. Terribly boring name.

But in Japanese... so the Japanese word for praying mantis is kamakiri. Slicer, in Japanese, is called Kamakiller. Kamakiri + killer.

@The_T @aescling @vaporeon_ genius

@wallhackio @The_T @vaporeon_ omurice just means omelette rice

@aescling @wallhackio @The_T What is omelette rice? Do you just fry rice with egg?

@vaporeon_ @aescling @The_T https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/transcoded/e/ea/Omurice-inshop-okayama-japan-2019-08-14.webm/Omurice-inshop-okayama-japan-2019-08-14.webm.720p.vp9.webm

@vaporeon_ @aescling @wallhackio the rice goes inside the egg in a way that is completely arcane to me

then you put ketchup on it

@The_T @aescling @wallhackio Wait
Do tomatoes grow in Japan?

@vaporeon_ @aescling @wallhackio I think tomatoes will grow anywhere you plant them

@vaporeon_ @aescling @wallhackio Internet website says:

Originating in Mesoamerica about 7,000 years ago, tomatoes arrived in Japan early in the Edo period (1603-1868) having traveled the globe and being domesticated along the way. The first tomato plants in Japan were considered an ornamental — they were not cultivated for culinary purposes until the Meiji period (1868-1912).

@vaporeon_ @The_T @aescling it's typically topped with ketchup

@wallhackio @The_T @aescling Ketchup is made of tomatoes

@vaporeon_ @The_T @aescling I don't imagine it would be difficult to import ketchup

but also I am not aware of any reason that Japan wouldn't cultivate tomatoes themselves

@vaporeon_ @The_T @aescling maybe they don't though. i really wouldn't know

@wallhackio @vaporeon_ you missed a post https://glaceon.social/@The_T/115222409386630691

@The_T @vaporeon_ oh neat thanks

@vaporeon_ @wallhackio @The_T skillfully purrepared omelette, hard on the outside but still runny on the inside, served over a bed of fried rice; after laying it on the rice it's cut open to let the wetter eggs spill out. it looks really neat when purrepared correctly
