In Cars 4 Lightning McQueen learns about Malaysian sweatshops where all his US merchandise gets made. In the closing montage we watch all the laborers Lightning befriended making toy versions of themselves to be shipped overseas, because Lightning learned his lesson about responsible Capitalism or something.

Trig Discipline posted:The thing about most streets having no name is awesome when you use voice navigation on Google maps, because it just goes "turn left on and then right on". Like it just gives the gently caress up. Okay, serious question; how does Japanese post work then if there are no streetnames as reference points?

Instead of street names each block has a name and every building in said block is numbered in either the construction order or clockwise/counterclockwise. Many apartment buildings also have names you can use for the address.

I've been here six months and I honestly have no idea what's going on with my own address other than "if you write this sequence of words and numbers on a package it gets to me eventually".

Many apartment buildings also have names you can use for the address. Each block has a NUMBER - the last part of the name is the ward which covers more than just a "block" - and the construction order based numbering means that it can be totally counterintuitive. Japan Post has obviously got all sorts of databases and maps to know what they're doing but everyone else has directions (the name of the apartment building isn't much help other than to let people know which unit you live in, the 3rd number of the 3 after the ward already tells people what building you are.)

The theory goes that the Pancreas does not actually exist and that the procedure that they put you through to remove it is actually an operation to remove a "Chakral Energy" point that has been poisoned through the food we eat, meticulously planned by a group of evil arch wizards hell bent on taking magic away from the masses.

'God was raped' has showed up more than once now, is that something specific as well? 'America was never discovered' and 'Memphis rag sigil' definitely deserve explanation.

I'm pretty sure that "Mountains are giant trees" refers to the Hollow Earth conspiracy theory that the trees we see these days are lovely dumb trees and back in the day they had really big trees OMG like you have no idea and mountains like these are actually petrified tree stumps

Given that so many houses in Japan are considered disposable and get rebuilt every time the property changes hands, doesn't that mean the numbers regularly change and keep counting up indefinitely? Like, if you went clockwise around a block 30 years ago the numbers might have gone 1-2-3-4 but now they go 11-7-12-9?

I've been doing work with some less-developed countries and the businesses there have official addresses like: No 12 Next to the Walmart <townname> and I can't help but think of the confusion that would happen if that store closed down, moved or changed name

Numerical addresses are a comparatively modern thing. Mail delivery has traditionally depended on carriers who knew their routes and knew who lived where. If you addressed a letter to "Mrs. Smith in the house across the street from the crooked Oak tree" it would get delivered. Deteriorata has a new favorite as of 15:44 on Aug 29, 2017 |

I think it only refers to the original construction order, when they first develop the area. A house that gets rebuilt keeps the same address.
