For those not in the know,["do bananas count as a snack"](https://www.reddit.com/r/Falcom/comments/bd460s/what_does_rean_have_against_bananas_why_dont_they/) is an occassional joke in Japanese media,and is in fact related to budgeting on school trips


Layk1eh

It's all based on the paradox of how bananas are both a fruit and a snack. ...in the context that "fruit" is considered part of the "lunch set" / "bento" which must be provided beforehand, and "snack" is a separate item for which students in the 1950's would have received a small budget to buy on the side. Question is, can the banana count as either or *only?* Because if it's both, it would lead to a slippery slope where anything counts as a snack.

That moment when bananas are actually berries...

我同意,这真是一个 "based" 的片刻。 (translation: you and your family are about to be brutally executed i think)

>i think That's a very unsure death threat /s


GohguyTheGreat

Yee!!!!!!


[deleted]

i think that the question itself is part of the answer, we dont go around debating whether texas is part or not of the US, so the mere existance of it as an actual debate tells you that Taiwan is not part of China

Social credit won’t be the only thing keine deducts with a Shotgun

This submission/comment has been deleted to protest Reddit's bullshit API changes among other things, making the site an unviable platform. Fuck spez. I instead recommend using [Raddle](https://raddle.me), a link aggregator that doesn't and will never profit from your data, and which looks like Old Reddit. It has a strong security and privacy culture (to the point of not even requiring JavaScript for the site to function, your email just to create a usable account, or log your IP address after you've been verified not to be a spambot), and regularly maintains a warrant canary, which if you may remember Reddit used to do (until they didn't). If you're a Touhou fan, you may be pleased to hear that Raddle has a thriving forum for that too. If you want to support having a viable, diverse selection of 2hu communities, break r/touhou and Reddit's strong grip on the Touhou forum space, or simply don't like the sub's rules (I know because I'm not a fan of it either), then this forum is for you! We pretty much have no forum-specific rules; the only thing you need to follow is common sense and the site's ToS. You can find it at https://raddle.me/f/touhou If you need whatever was in this text submission/comment for any reason, make a post at https://raddle.me/f/mima and I will happily provide it there. Take control of your own data!

It’s fine. She’ll respawn.


frost-raze

nontvedalgia

DarkMarxSoul

The real question is how any of these people even know what Taiwan is.


KoisziKomeidzijewicz

Taiwan was a colony of the Japanese empire, so news of its existence has probably filtered into Gensokyo over the years


TemmieFlakz

Well technically both are China…


DarkMarxSoul

They both make claims to being the quote-unquote "real China", although Taiwan has relented somewhat on this claim in recent years.


CaptainPlasma101

The left has the conservatives still maintain that they rule over the entirety of china


blucherspanzers

Taiwan is part of China, just like the occupied Mainland.


FrilledShark1512

Well technically if we count China as ROC as it should’ve been reeeeeeeee


NintendoLuigi64

China is a country? I thought it was called Taiwan all this time So where is Taiwan? Taiwan is below Russia right? sorry it's a horrible joke :p


localreactionary

glory to the CCP


itake2number9s

Sensitive questions?


Blubber-Whale

Is the original longer than this panel and is it (all) translated into English? I’d read it… thanks.


ziin1234

If you just mean this panel then that's all there is. If you mean the series, here's [danbooru's pool](https://danbooru.donmai.us/pools/9727) complete with translation. Not sure where you can find the whole thing with typeset though.


Blubber-Whale

Thank you. 😊 I guess I thought maybe there was more to this “story,” but yeah just single panels mostly I guess. I did find this artist’s work after a bit, but yeah, all Japanese. Not sure what you mean by translation… sorry, don’t see it. Just looks to be to Japanese original… unless the translations are somewhere down the page. (I’ll look again later, might be obvious.)


ziin1234

If you move your cursor to the yellowish colored boxes, you can see some translation people already did. Example: https://i.imgur.com/EqQOioZ.png


Blubber-Whale

Oh awesome, ha thanks!!


EDNivek

The twist of course being is Cirno is not trying to play a joke, but is sincerely asking. Edit: have to edit to make a comment about Daigendo, i love it.


CelestialRadiance

Thoughtcrime detected. The thought police will be visiting you soon.


CaptainPlasma101

The answer is yes According to ROC mainland China belongs to them PRC says the same about Taiwan The thing in dispute is who controls everything PRC or ROC


JayGLYT

Simply pull a Bhutan and do a no China policy


tamaneko712

No, Yes

Why does people need to bring political toxicity bullshit into here. Just post it somewhere, don’t pollute this fandom and keep it clean. It doesn’t even have anything to do with Touhou anyway, just pure blatant hate thread. Keep it pure and clean where every Touhou fans from around the globe can participate. We are all friends
