Welcome to our virtual third place, The Café.
Come on in and make a new human connection over a cup of coffee (or Teh Tarik). This is a casual community, do whatever you want, share your oyen pics, your frustrations, and even organize a weekend picnic with the community. The world is your oyster.
Rules are simple, be kind and civil with each other. As with any other café, rude patrons will be kicked out.

Fukushima wastewater is now in the oceans 😨 are you keeping a close eye on food imported from Japan?
From Reuter. Should be nothing compared to the microplastic and harmful shit people discharge into the air and water.
can't afford radiation poisoning if you can't afford taps head
it's approved by the international radioactive organisation or sth like that... should be ok.
I didn't pay that much attention because a lot of it felt political (in both valid - Japan has been known to not be transparent about its post-fukushima data - and invalid - China framing it as an anti-Japan issue in its media - ways) but fwiw: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/aug/25/fukushima-daiichi-nuclear-power-plant-china-wastewater-release:
"Scientists have pointed out that China’s own nuclear power plants release wastewater with higher levels of tritium than that found in Fukushima’s discharge, and that the levels are all within boundaries not considered to be harmful to human health."
So liddat la.... Though I've been to Tohoku region post-tsunami and ate the foods all, so I'll check in with y'all la in a couple more decades kot....
Of course China is trying to say people do shit when they do even worse shit.
