I enjoy some Thai food but honestly, Asian food is garbage for your health. At least the popular items. Mediterranean diet guys thanks and god bless if you’re all obese I can’t carry the team alone when we’re storming Fujian province in an amphibious invasion 1000x the size of Overlord

Don't understand how they can live to over 100 so commonly. Survival of the fittest probably. Centuries of adversity and discipline weeding out the weekest. Maybe.

people in japan live to be like 1 million years old so whatever theyre doing must be right

[Trungep99]

it's a good thing you don't think there is cultural authenticity then

How can there be? Trump contradicts himself in his own speeches .

He’s pro police and now his party is anti fbi.
He campaigned on pro LGBT issues and now is anti trans.

He doesn’t know half of the shit he talking about and some how people follow him.

This isn’t an attack on people being conservative, just on how idiotic trump is and how he’s a con man

True, that’s why I said the popular stuff. We aren’t about to change our lifestyles to reflect the very healthy way they live.

Why are you so pissed at me? You're that mad that I call out that your military SUCKS ASS and hasn't won a war since world war 2?

"blame white guilt" bumper sticker on all the Abrams tanks.

Live a million years but they're all five foot three. During the World Wars era it gave them an advantage in ship design because they could place the decks closer together than the Americans could. Their aircraft also tended to have really small cockpits, you ever read the declassified flight-test reports of captured Japanese A/C it's always the same complaint, "cockpit is small and cramped."

The height is definitely part of it. The larger you are, the more cells you have, the more that can get wrong, especially cancer. I forget the exact data I read in a study but being 6'4 compared to 5'6 is like the same increase in cancer and cardiovascular risk as being a pack a day smoker and alcoholic.

This is actually totally fascinating to me. :eek::eek::eek:

Not making it up, either. Some of their battleships and cruisers, some of the habitation areas, the decks were not even 6 feet floor to ceiling. Hence they could fit more living room into a given amount of hull volume and leave more space left over for offensive systems or subdivision. The number of compartments in some of their ships bordered on absurd.

In addition to small cockpits, a common complaint with most of their captured aircraft were weak brakes. That's partly a reflection of their less-industrialized nation--they favored grass fields longer than the U.S. did. Reading (translated) books and memoirs written by their aircraft designers was good reading, I'd recommend it in the book thread if I could remember the names. Their biggest limitation was their engine technology was a few years behind the U.S.

I think I remember that commercial :o

Japan designed their society to be quiet and orderly so this time they could hear the p-38s coming

Fun fact

Also the new 4Runner turns into a gundam if you buy the Japanese model

Mitsubishi Zero A6M5 Cockpit
"Built with no armor, just guns and engine"
The power to weight ratio favored it early on.

(off-topic, but more interesting to me than the actual topic)

Wasn't "Jane's WW2 Fighters" mostly European-centric? Would make sense for it lacking the Pacific stuff then.

The lack of cockpit armor and self-sealing tanks were part of weight reduction relating to their inferior engine technology. The Zero had to make do with ~950 HP Sakae engines when their opposition like the USN's F4F had upwards of 1200 HP. Even by war's end, Japan's best radials like the Homare were only getting a little past 2000 HP, maybe 2200 or so with methanol, while some of the best American fighter-usable radials of the same era were able to push out 2700+ HP. Japan produced few inlines at all, the tighter clearances and tolerances required by such engines did not suit their industry as well, and those they did produce were mostly license-built models a few years behind the tech curve. The Army's Ki-61 fighter (a nice rugged model that did have good armor and protection) didn't get into service until mid 1943 but had performance about the same as a 1941-era P-40.

The Japanese Navy's A6M "zero" was the most-produced and best-known Japanese WW2-era fighter, but the Japanese Army's Ki-43 was much more successful, shooting down far more Allied a/c in spite of barely half as many Ki-43's being built as zeros. The Japanese Army and Navy both fielded complete land-based air forces, using mostly separate designs, a rather inefficient situation for a nation with already-limited production facilities.

Danth said japanse who eat healthy foods are smol

Bob lazar said the aliens were smol

daniel said eating the food we eat is a sin and we should eat healthy foods

so my theory is god is a smol alien who eats japanese food :o
