    Weirdest Dream?

    One of the most peculiarly fun dreams I've had started at a Denny's restaurant. I was being haunted by the ghost of some ancient granny who just would not stop hitting on me. I got into a big argument with her but I don't remember about what. When it concluded I was thinking "darn, now everyone...

    Obscure Songs

    The first is a little obscure for the young generations, but I expect at least some of you to know that last one.

    Evolution of walking on two feet

    @K5Rakitan I originally heard about it on a radio program a few years ago. I tried looking for an excerpt but had little luck since I don't remember the name of the program it aired on.

    What are some unpopular music opinions you have?

    For almost all pop songs, I enjoy the first 5 or 10 seconds only. Then the drums start. Drums hurt my ears, and most music is filled with drums. It's the sonic equivalent of being punched in the face. Just use bells for your percussion!

    A what if question, if you could go back in time to one point.

    Am I the only one who thinks the world currently is the kindest, safest, and most prosperous it ever has been? Although to some extent we are trading interpersonal threats (mob lynchings are decreasing almost everywhere [I know you can be better than this people of India]) for those from the...

    Evolution of walking on two feet

    Interestingly, the consensus among people who study living great apes, is that bipedal walking evolved -in those particular great apes they study- (we're talkin' biologists not anthropologists, so they are generally cautious against drawing conclusions about humans, even if some propose logical...

    Purity Test

    My result is 89. I went through a period in 7th grade where I was almost constantly trying to harm myself or destroy my personal possesions, so the school sent me home for the rest of the week. I count that as a suspension, though to my knowledge it was informal in some ways and not recorded as...

    Have you ever felt annoyed on some Tsunderes?

    I like tsunderes when they aren't the male lead's love interest. That generally means that I dislike about 60% of them. For love interest tsunderes, I often feel like they are an adolescent boy's fantasy "she's irritable because she needs to get laid" sort of delusion, and they are very off...

    Reading speed

    I think I read a little faster than most humans. One thing I'm not able to do is "skim"; the moment I see text the real world fades into the background. Even at my age I'm still not even sure what it means to skim something in the context of reading, since the concept is so alien to my...

    What kind of fictional character are you?

    I'm the leader of an S rank harem party at the adventure's guild, but it's my little sister's harem. My party role is mostly logistics, but also includes first aid, foraging, setting up camp, cooking, laundry, and final arbiter of out of combat decisions for the party.

    Reincarnation yes or no? if so which race?

    Gonna assume "when" is "ever I would normally die" and say yes. If I have to die now or soon I would not reincarnate. I pick as my specie a sweet-birch dryad and have my physical form resemble a slender but slightly tall bunnyboy with long light green hair, pink eyes, (green) fur on my forearms...

    Say something about yourself.

    I've never been able to watch WWF and see anything but foreplay. "The sport where muscular tough guys dress up in colorful spandex tights and prove how straight they are by having slap fights."

    You have been awake for 18 hours. Would you rather finish your Homework, or go to sleep?

    At this point I am too sleep deprived to get a good grade on my homework anyway. Also there's a philosophe test tomorrow.

    How do you all feel about the 'thousand year old loli' trope?

    I usually don't really care one way or the other with the "loli-hag" type characters. But one place that it is done exceptionally well is in Ken Akamatsu's "Negima!?" and "UQ Holder". Although these are primarily fan-service and romcom genre manga, the immortal loli vampire witch of ice and...

    Do you imagine yourself as the protagonist when you read?

    I guess I'm sort of in the middle? Rather than thinking of myself as the protagonist or an entertained but ultimately unattached observer, I tend to think of myself as being there with the protagonist. When I am reading, the protagonist is often like an important friend, or a cute younger...

    Did someone else got the point of hating Chinese troupes? Why?

    I get frustrated by some of them because there's so many euphemistic insults that are hard to differentiate from the character's specie and name. There might for example be a character named "white lily" who is called a "black lotus" and transforms into a "salty fish." That's too hard for me to...

    I hate—no, I despise cockroaches.

    I like cockroaches, when they're trapped inside a nice glass box that they will never escape from. Then I can safely laugh and mock them for how ugly they are.

    What is the major difference in Knight class and Warrior class

    I'd say it's the mount that separates the warrior and knight classes. Knights also give the impression of being better armored. It's not because of religious blessings though, then we'd have a paladin, holy knight, or crusader.

    Unconventional Uses for Basic Superpowers

    Storage opened and closed at different heights (different gravitational potential energies) actually shouldn't create or destroy energy, even on an Earth-like world. It simply gets added or subtracted and from the internal heat energy of the object in question, or possibly the converted energy...

    What genres do you dislike?

    I agree with this sentiment, which is the main issue I have with most harem type stories. The most frequent reason I drop a story though is if the protagonist is too vengeful or bloodthirsty. I don't find enjoyment in reading about murder-hobos.
