Just me or dragon ball is REALLY popular among black people, why is that? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world
[–] kep@lemmy.world 11 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It blew my mind because I wasn't expecting it.

does dbz talk shit different than other anime? I feel like everyone kind of talks shit to everybody else in every anime with heroes and villains.

I don't know. Never watched it.

Was he saying that talking mad shit was specifically compelling to black people?

That is what he meant. I interpreted it as "fuck yeah dude, that shit rules" more than "we talk shit" but who the hell knows.

I towed a guys truck one time. Nerdy fella, talked a ton. Said he loved DBZ. I fucking went for it, said "yo why did every one of the black dudes I know growing up love DBZ?" And without missing a beat he looks at me and goes "they talk MAD shit in the show man." Blew my mind.

It's super fun. The recent updates to this game have opened up an entire new world of possibilities. If you've never played or haven't played in a while, check out some gameplay footage of it, it's so much better now.

Wow, such a thoughtful and useful comment. I had to be carful to avoid spoilers and you were super sensitive to that while still giving great advice. Bravo and thank you.

I am having so much fun with this one. The systems are super polished and everything feels so smooth. If you are into platformers and somehow missed this one too, watch me play for a bit. It seems to have everything.

If you have any pointers that aren't blatant spoilers, I would love to hear them. Thanks in advanced.

The controller support seems good, but this style of platform shooter is pretty rough in general with the swivel aim. I think you could skip this one if you are a controller user (I love them too).

Got any wise tips on how to enjoy the game, without giving anything away? I am at home in these sandboxes, but wouldn't want to miss out on something fun.

This game is pretty epic, even all these years later. As someone who completely skipped it but loves exploration & space games, I'm kicking myself for not having found this game sooner.

Making the video was a real treat. I've recorded a few of these episodes already, but I'll only post this one time to avoid spam & rulebreaking. My goal in posting this is to see if anybody loves Starbound (or has never checked it out and wants to) and have them vibe alongside me, drop me comments/hints, or just be entertained as I explore the game.

There's a grain of truth in here, but not quite. One in every four or so (not quite, but we can roll with it regardless) identified species of animal is a beetle. Not one in every four animals, by population nor overall species.

The reasons for this is are many, but may include because beetles are big, easy to catch, agriculturally-significant, and are particularly easy to pin and study, dramatically boosting the count of beetle species we work with on an academic level (lending to higher identification rates). There are also just a shitload of beetle species, naturally.

Scientists estimate something closer to ~10 million species of animals, which would still make beetles a huge percentage of the species, but a far cry from 25%. If you looked at the total number (estimated) of individual animals, beetles are pretty insignificant.

Your entire argument applies to books as well.

It's a bad argument.

SIDEBAR:

All things Arthropoda (not just Insecta)!

Share pictures, ask questions, and solicit identification. Higher-quality pictures are easier to identify. Do not guess the species of an insect, use a dichotomous key to be sure.

Please understand that handling wild animals, bugs or otherwise, can be dangerous. Seek immediate medical attention if you’ve been bitten or stung by something.
