  • I was already bitter about patrasche being translated/localized(?) as patlash in re:zero but things are getting even shittier I guess. For those not in the know Dog of Flanders is a story nearly every japanese person will know at least to some degree, and has been referenced infinitely in anime and manga.

    And similarly so many weird fucking names you could search the katakana online and find 30 different game wikis that reveal it was just akward katakana for a common non-japanese name, but no it has to to be different in this anime or that manga and we are going to make up some aneurysm romanization for it.

    or incorrect subject assumtion because japanese is vague on that and if it’s ai translated it actually makes sense with the lack of context awareness, and the list could go on for days














  • did you put plastic wrap over the container and use a sharp knife to make small slits in it? like a salt shaker lid but the holes are lines and only wide enough for the fly to barely fit. It makes sure that once they get in they are more likely to touch the surface directly rather than walk on the wall of the container. the amount of soap is also really tiny.

    but yeah over 3 months with as perfectly set up as I could make it, vinegar was negligable performance while the kombucha was saturated with flies. I also have seen wine work but I think the blanket of co2 that forms above the surface also plays a part in knocking them out. the kombucha also makes co2 but eventually makes a solid layer that flies can stand on.

    if the commmercial trap works well I would also just stick to that if it isn’t too costly, but the ones I can buy locally are all crap.
