Hint: not a tomato.

@SPArcheon Slice of banana or crushed testicle?

@Tinkeringbell please... First, I wouldn't post that. Second, you are stealing Shadow's role there.

Yeah well I don't see Shadow so someone has to do it.

Strawberry?

Second hint: Japan is the culprit.

@JourneymanGeek Bit small to be whale, isn't it?
And I don't think those lay eggs...
Journeyman Geek

@Tinkeringbell not a whole whale
oh two different guesses
Tinkeringbell

:P
If it has to be something Japanese.... That little round thing they have in their flag!
Journeyman Geek

the sun?
Though you might be meaning Ume?
Tinkeringbell
Tinkeringbell
I dunno. Is that meant to be the sun? It's rather red for a sun...

Umeboshi
Umeboshi (Japanese: 梅干し, pronounced [ɯmeboɕi], lit. 'dried ume') are pickled (brined) ume fruits common in Japan. The word umeboshi is often translated into English as 'salted Japanese plums', 'Japanese plums' or 'preserved plums'. Ume (Prunus mume) is a species of fruit-bearing tree in the genus Prunus, which is often called a "plum", but is actually more closely related to the apricot. Pickled ume which are not dried are called umezuke (梅漬け). Umeboshi are a popular kind of Japanese tsukemono ('pickled thing'; preserved or fermented) and are extremely sour and salty. Sweet umeboshi made with honey...

tbh, Ume's something I need to try at some point. Its apparently vaguely similar to certain styles of south indian pickles
uhhh
That was for @SPArcheon
@Tinkeringbell the rising/setting sun can be red
Tinkeringbell
Tinkeringbell
@JourneymanGeek No, it is white. It only looks red due to how the white light hits the atmosphere ;)

@SPArcheon Is Ume a replacement for tomato? As in, tomatos are hard to get / will not grow / is unknown so they picked an (cheaper?) alternative?
Journeyman Geek
Journeyman Geek
(also that's the 'modern' flag)
@rene more adjusting it for 'local' tastes I suspect

I see.
Also typical in the Wiki article: The Dutch are mentioned ...

@rene It is a known fact that Japan universal replacement wildchar food is Fish, not umeboshi.

That seems logical.

You want to make a soup with no chicken? Add fish instead.
You wanted to decorate a cake but have no chocolate chips? Bonito flakes it is!
And how to forget things like fish ice cream

@SPArcheon What is wrong with a delicious seafood soup?
That reminds me I haven't had lobster in ages.

@AndreasmovedtoCodidact that until the fish was added, that was going to be chicken soup.

Sorry @Spevacus, no rep for you. That was a troll... I'll try to be faster so you don't waste time in the future.

@SPArcheon Tasty!
To be fair, many fish types are much like meat from land.
Whale, for instance.
Catfish.

Comic Sans.

@SPArcheon -1 not bottom-right aligned

@M.A.R. I just modified the font, the alignment is all on them.
BTW, coincidentally, since ugly designs are known to attract each other, I opened Youtube just to finally be greeted by the horrendous layout change.
to the smart guy who made that, it is a computer, not an android TV.

@SPArcheon This is an actual email I received from the US embassy in Greece in response to my email asking what procedure I should follow to report the death of my father:

Like, seriously. Who thought that comic sans is the right font to use when addressing bereaved family members!?
I mean, it's never the right font, but surely someone must have realized it's even worse here.

@terdon with all due respect, this immediately reminded me of that Gumball episode with the witch asking what "LOL" meant, Richard replying "Lot Of Love" and then her proceeding to write a letter "I am sad for your loss. LOL"
and yes, it is just as horrible as that.
terdon
terdon
Nah. Nothing is as horrible as using Comic Sans in official communication in the year 2023. And if that communication reads "we are sorry to hear about your loss" that's just adding insult to injury.
To be fair, it did make me smile on an otherwise very difficult day, but still :)

@terdon There's no perfect font, but I wonder if some poor intern uses it normally and was told "Someone died, here's the template" and sent you a mail, than panicedly realised what they did, and spent the rest of the day crying
@VLAZ this is such a meta thing
