unpopular opinon; i really enjoy shibwankos posts both in here and the unpopular videogames opinion thread, i don't agree with them 100% of the time and they have this fine line of craziness where he might be 100% serious and he might just be getting a rise out of people but regardless he's never an outright dick about it and posts consistently enough that it keeps the thread moving

He's superceded yeah i eat rear end, jastiger, Tiggum, etc. as the star of this thread.

theres no such thing as "north european smugness" it's just the way most cultures behave but you see more of us on forums because we have more fluent english speakers

it's US culture that's the odd one out with its (usually, to strangers) fake friendliness and strict rules of conversation. the only thing that's different between north europe and the southern countries is that our humor is different and usually a bit darker or ironic than in france or something where its all louis de funes and adriano celentano up the rear end

culturally im a fan of turks. a turk always has your back and will laugh at every joke you make no matter how stupid, usually loudly

i also like the portuguese and the poles. i am not a huge fan of italians who will walk through the airplane aisle while talking loudly and lean on the back of my seat

Siesta's great and I love a kalimoxto, but for some reason, Spain, as a whole, has nailed sandwiches. I'd say that the top ten sandwiches I've eaten in my life would have been in Spain.

That's because sandwiches are objectively the best food and Spain has the best ingredients to put into the best food.

Shibawanko's posts usually seem sensible to me, unlike the insanity some people post.

I only really know about Europe from reading books and I think visiting it would ruin the mystique. Also it makes no sense to call it a continent when it is clearly part of Asia

On the whole, 3D printing has been a net loss for the ecosystem*, for humanity, and for any individual practicing it.

I think 3D printers are probably useful tools to have in the machine shop, with certain strengths and certain weaknesses compared to other technologies.

But the idea often bandied about with 3D printers—that home 3D printers would obsolete the manufacturing plant, and people would be able to use it like the replicator in Star Trek is totally bogus.

I like the people who think 3D printing will end the tabletop miniature wargaming industry because people can just 3D print their own Space Marines. They'll hold up a single Space Marine and be like, it took my 2,000 dollar printer just half an hour to print this, and after only 45 minutes of sanding and finishing, here it is, almost as good as a store bought one! I saved 6 dollars!

They spent thousands of dollars on a machine that basically makes those weird smelling wax lions you used to get at the zoo as a kid.

The gorilla also gets free food and healthcare and a living environment tailored to ensure their mental health and people working behind the scenes to create opportunities for him to have sex.
