What explains this phenomenon?
>>25621121I don’t know but it reminds me of a poem I always meant to write about a man who would go around defecating in library books and put them back on the shelves. I was going to call it Between The Bindings
>>25621121I often get an urge to shit upon entering any quiet, hushed space honestly. It's kinda weird but I thought it might just be me. It's comforting to see that the Japanese have developed a term for such a phenomenon... Actually I believe the zoomers just call it "liminal"
>>25621121Because those people read on the loo? They see books and it reminds them, like flowing water, of their bodily ‘function’.
>>25621121I'm aware of that there's a word for this phenomenon but have never experienced it particularly.
>The term receives its name from Mariko Aoki, an otherwise little-known Japanese woman who contributed an essay in 1985 to the magazine Hon no Zasshi [ja] ("Book Magazine").[2]:55 In that essay, she related how she came to the realization that, for some years, walking around a bookstore inevitably made her want to go to the toilet. Poor lady, it gets named after her and everyone assumes she shat herself in a bookstore.
>>25621129Honestly, I think its time has come
>>25621440There are probably hundreds of Mariko Aokis in Japan.
>it's reallmao what
>>25621121based phenomenon
>>25621121let people ENJOY things
god, i hate the japanese. ango sakaguchi was the only one who understood how demented that asylum of a nation is.
>>25622624Absolutely, utterly based.
>>25621121Fancy way of saying you have IBS.
>>25622624I enjoy weeb shit but not the Japanese themselves. Like enjoying hollywood movies but hating Americans, which is much more common.
>>25622667Nobody asked.
>poo in the loo Japan:0
>>25622690I asked and I care. Fuck off.
>>25622624thank you for the recommendation.
>>25621121Same reason you have to when you get out of the shower; your body relaxes and your poo moves in your gut finally.
>>25623137>Same reason you have to when you get out of the shower>youI'm normal, though.
>>25622624Care to elaborate a bit? I was considering picking up learning Japanese since I have an interesting in visiting and potentially even living either there or Taiwan if I choose to go with Chinese instead.
>>25624973>I was considering picking up learning Japanese
>>25622667yeah i know what you mean. you can hate the player without hating the game, or something to that effect>>25622690im the guy he's replying to and i agree with him, stand down>>25623108obliged and cheers>>25624973ive only read his non fiction. he's best known for Discourse on Decadence, both parts, which is where I started, then i read his personal views on japanese culture or whatever its called. both are very good, even in translation. he survived the 1945 toyko carpet/fire bombings and was a first-hand witness to a lot of atrocity and grim sights, so it influenced his thoughts a lot.
>>25621121A lot of bookstores have a cafe attached to them. People will drink coffee (laxative) or tea (laxative) while lingering for hours.
>>25625033damn. i guess this also applies to those jazz cafes or whatever theyre called
>>25625035Last time I went to a jazz show I was just nailing my weed vape in the wine line and blowing the shit straight up into the air. I justified it as it's a jazz show they can't complain about weed. Two men even older than I am started doing a little performance to each other right in the line behind meOH I FORGOT IS VAPING INDOORS JUST RUDE OR IS IT ACTUALLY ILLEGAL?OH IT'S ILLEGAL, ALRIGHT.They gave me a seat at one of the partial tables in the front row, the band had a piano and was lead by a trumpet and it was a small venue so I got fucken nuked, very abstract dynamic jazz. The whole night was a kind of low profile fighting which suits me great.
>>25625080Nigger tier behavior
>>25621121I actually get this exact thing at the library. I always figured it was my body realizing we are going to be there for a while so it is getting all the potential interruptions out of the way so we can get comfy and stay comfy for a long stretch of time.
>>25621440Must be the excitement. I get that too.
>>25625080>OH I FORGOT IS VAPING INDOORS JUST RUDE OR IS IT ACTUALLY ILLEGAL?>OH IT'S ILLEGAL, ALRIGHT.believable milquetoast passive aggressiveness from jazz lovers
>>25625093yes, jazz is very nigger-coded
I go poopy doodoo caca after eating my breakfast and drinking my morning coffee, it's at basically the same time every morning. Are there really people who get the need to shit at random points throughout the day?
>>25625093You are my intended audience for that post.
>>25625185Lots of people just truckin loads of turds around in their ass, waiting for them to break loose like oranges rolling off their pyramid in the grocery store. Farting and it smells like shit, getting relief from farting because of how bricked up with shit they are, but until the turtle head starts coming out they have no actual conscious idea they need to shit.
>>25625080what bands did you see?
>>25625185a lot of people these days have undisciplined or inconsistent diets
>>25625516I'd have to go look through the pictures folder on my computer. If I can go out on the weekend I usually do but I'll go to almost anything so it gets hard to remember the names. Just one band for that show but they played for two hours. There was an intermission.
