Oh really? In Lithuania, murder is also illegal. It traces back from the spoken tradition of the ancestors. Some recent analysis has found traces of this social ban in 800 years old folk tale, Spruce the Queen of Serpents, in which, as a punishment for murder, the killers were turned into trees. It is weird how Lithuanian culture shares similarities with the Japanese! There must have been cultural connections at some point in time...

The languages also both have a word for "three". Proto-world confirmed?

[-] Rubanski@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago

I think it has something to do with the westward movement of the Mongolian tribes

What are the other four? WHAT ARE THE OTHER FOUR?!

Seems the account got deleted or something. It's now named SUPER CHAT and has no posts or replies.

I know you yanks like to go around shooting each other, but if you absolutely must challenge someone to a duel - do be so kind as to use your sword instead.

Many of us on Lemmy have Kitanas hanging on our wall, so totally ready.

[-] SnipingNinja@slrpnk.net 5 points 1 year ago

Why is she hanging on your wall? Tell her to get down and act more human if she doesn't want to stand out

That's no way to treat your waifu body pillow.

Mine's just a longsword sitting on top of my desk...

[-] ikapoz@sh.itjust.works 25 points 1 year ago

I really want to know what the other four things are. Not enough to go look, but enough to complain here.

If I can't do any of my favorite murders then what's the point of traveling? Stupid woke Japanese ruin everything.

[-] Seraph@kbin.social 20 points 1 year ago

The rest of us are so used to murdering people every day. I never would have thought about it!

I guess I can stop murdering for a little bit while in Japan. If you insist.

[-] Ddhuud@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago

Aww shoot! My vacation is ruined!

[-] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 17 points 1 year ago

I for one think more countries should make this very illegal.

[-] RHSJack@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago

Now I am worried I might have committed a faux pas unknowingly. I mean, they are so polite they won't point it out. So now I am sitting here, years later, wondering if I might have, you know, murdered someone in Japan.

[-] BilboBargains@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago

That murdering you've been doing? Not okay

[-] ikiru@lemmy.ml 13 points 1 year ago

What? Sounds like a stupid fucking concept.

Well there go my holiday plans...

[-] Capricorny90210@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

Man, talk about culture shock!

[-] Asudox@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

That's news to me. Everyone here murders people, I thought it was legal everywhere! I mean, you just kill people, not that big of a deal.

[-] Grass@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 year ago

This is one of my favorite Japan related shitposts

[-] mechoman444@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Fox pass. O wait... Nevermind.

[-] EveryMuffinIsNowEncrypted 2 points 1 year ago

"Sorry, ma'am, we're gonna need to see the pass for your fox here before we let you through."
