I want to watch more Elfenlied, but I doubt it's gonna happen. Maybe I should just read the Manga.

There are rumors about a spiritual successor to SEL named Despera.

I agree that reddit sucks but why do you think it's not anime friendly?

It's not pretty, but you can print one in a single line of python:

print(*["".join("  " if i & j else "MM" for j in range(64)) for i in range(64)], sep="\n")

There's this Norwegian metal band called Kvelertak and I absolutely love their sound, but have no idea what the lyrics are about as I don't speak the language.

I think your fundamental misunderstanding is how many people just scroll, lurk and at most comment. Let's call those passive users. They are many and therefore worth catering to. Reddit, especially the big subreddits, are engagement generators. Their point is not to answer the questions that you as an individual might have. Their point is to maximize engagement. Providing the kind of content that keeps thousands of passive users engaged in the app has more monetary value than letting you as an individual post your personal question. So it's geared towards letting users with a solid track record of creating engagement post easily, while being careful with users who don't have that track record.

You can see this in supermarkets too. Hundred different types of sweets but if I simply want nuts roasted without oil, I'm out of luck? Why? Because there's orders of magnitude more people who will buy stuff without reading the ingredients. The people who care about not having oil added to their nuts are so relatively few that they're not worth catering to by a mass-appealing supermarket.

At least those are my theories, not that I have any inside knowledge.

I've been interested in the degree to which this is true, so I did a sample of some other boards. I always picked the first thread per board to avoid cherry picking results.

• /fit/ had a dick size thread that obviously turned sexist
• /mu/ had a kpop thread, it seemed okay
• /an/ had a big cat general with nice photographs in it :)
• /g/ had an AI chatbot general. I only skimmed the beginning and that already had outright pedophilia in it.
• /a/ had an Evangelion thread with a mix of genuine discussion and softcore coomer pics of the underage girls in it
• /c/ was just cute pics of an anime girl
• /int/ discussed taking showers surprisingly
• /his/ had a thread about Anne Frank, with some users posting antisemitic content and others pushing back against it

After those I got tired. Overall I'd say the SFW boards are a very mixed bag, with some of them actually being nice.

First season of that show was incredible.

For veggies, I usually get frozen mixed veggies, it's more varied and some even have mushrooms mixed in there making them very tasty. Or I cook some tomato-based sauce.

For protein, I mostly eat Skyr and Tofu. Eggs, nuts and lentils also have good protein content, but they have other macros as well.

Unless you're doing some aggressive 1000kcal deficit every day, there's also plenty of space for "normal" meals in each day. Just do the math for the macros you need to eat for your goal. I don't think eating only veggies + protein is a good idea long term.

Yeah, what the fisting enthusiast said. It'll be fine.

The success of algorithmic feeds does not imply that humans are predictable in general. It just means that humans are predictable in terms of what content will keep them scrolling/watching/listening for some more time.

Interesting observation. Can you give an example where this is relevant?
