    Unfortunately, they were unable to be added because YouTube won’t let you add children songs to an adult playlist.

    TF? It should be the other way around. What the hell, youtube?

    Kinda cool, tho, and thanks for actually giving back like this. I honestly figured the original post was just engagement bait but you caught me on a rare evening where I had been listening to music and knew the exact one I’d just listened to because it was a new one for me and it was so FUNKAY it had me dancing in my car.

    Much love and happy Halloween <3

    Oh, sorry, alt text is such a rarity that the only place I ever check for it is XKCD. No clue who you’re calling out, tho.

    If you'll allow me to be autistic for a moment to explain myself

    I’ve gotten to the point of linguistic nerdery that I am just aware that there can be hundreds of regional dialectical variation among large languages like Spanish, and since I was raised with European Spanish (which likes to treat its Spanish as “real Spanish” and look down on Mexian Spanish as “y’alld’n’t’ve” troglodyte Spanish) I tried to outline that in my post. Sadly, my father was a Spaniard, so I never actually learned much Spanish.

    Going in a completely different direction, since I am trying to learn Japanese I recently learned that, curiously, their name for Mexico is 墨西哥メキシコ (romanized “Mekishiko”). Not trying to correct you just a little oddity that tickles me.

    1st, I’m surprised no one is going for any of the low-hanging fruit: “why is my lemmy account stuck in Spanish?”, “feliz Jueves”, “Eva girl bathwater”, etc.

    2nd, since I think it’s safe to assume at least some people won’t get the multilingual pun at play, the original intent of the “Agua de Rei” name is “water of (the) king” – tho I can’t be certain if it’s a local dialect quirk or a matter of marketing that it’s “de rei” and not “del rey”

    There’s also Thanatos and probably a few other Daimones I’m forgetting or unfamiliar with you could invoke. I’m certain there’s like a dozen different Egyptian deities involved in a soul’s passage to the afterlife, Anubis is just the most popular one in modern reception. It also bugs the hell out of me that “Europe” is put up alongside three countries

    Also wow, they really buffed Hermes up for Hades 2. Still haven’t seen much of that game as of yet.

    Pre-post edit: I apologize for going full autistic here but I like talking about biology &c.

    Interesting that you had those ready to go, tho I’ve done a bit of a deep dive of the topic myself to try and understand it (IIRC I was spurred by an unfortunate series of back-to-back viewings of Elfen Lied, Attack on Titan, and Sword Art Online, which turned me off of anime for a year) so I kinda get it. I think maybe saying “siblings get purposefully disgusted” sounds more intentional than you meant, tho.

    Interestingly enough, incest in general is not quite so damaging across the animal kingdom (or plants, but plants are a whole other discussion) as many people think. A healthy population should have enough genetic diversity and lack of those garbage genes which cause defects that an incest pairing won’t affect most offspring. Humans are just much more closely related to each other than would be usual for a population our size – we’ve gone through at least one (possibly more than one) population bottleneck that left us less genetically diverse than we should be – so it’s a lot easier for genetic diseases to be passed on through incest.

    In some cases, incest has allowed animals to colonize environments they’d otherwise not be able to. Komodo dragons might be one such example, as they use ZW chromosomes instead of XY – females are ZW while males are ZZ – and are capable of parthenogenesis. That means a singular female can, separated from any male, lay a clutch of “clone” eggs which will all hatch male and thus have a mate to continue the species. This may have been how Komodo dragons colonized the islands they call home.

    Some light spoilers then

    Metamorphosis is a very grounded story about a girl whose life took a nose dive after being introduced to drugs, and as implied by DundaStation has a downer ending in the original version.

    The common joke is that gooners looking for a doujin to fap to end up being emotionally broken – which personally I didn’t get but to each their own – but because it’s so grounded in reality it can set some people off, especially if they’ve had past trauma.
