Essentially, they gave us tablets for an augmented reality experience and the icebergs acted as large 3D QR codes upon which 3D scenes would show up. You could zoom in to specific sections to see and hear small animations.

Canada needs to step up its cheese curd exporting because it's friggin' impossible to find any here in Japan and not being able to eat proper poutine for years at a time is detrimental to my health.

The problem with cheese curds is that they turn into regular cheddar cheese about a week or 2 after being made. Basically impossible to export unless you wanna pay for air freight

The even bigger problem is how you have to rape a vulnerable individual and murder her children to get them. But yeah, losing the squeak, that sucks, man. Kind of makes all the atrocity not worth it, eh?

Username checks out. Thanks for sharing!

And now Japan thinks Canadians wear flashy 80's style headbands.

It's kinda warm in Osaka, so I forgive them for not donning our national formal attire.

What baffles me is that throughout every fashion trends, this jacket is always popular!

What I think is even funnier, as someone who moved around the country a lot, is it's often thought of as a regional thing when it's actually ubiquitous.

In Victoria BC, it's called a Langford Dinner Jacket. But if you're a blue-collar working class Canadian anywhere in the country, it's more likely than not you own or have owned one of these (which is good, 'cause they're a good warm layer).

Six thousand dollars for a poutine is ridiculous.

You read that wrong my friend. It says “Spend ¥6000 or above (implies that you spend this much at The Poutinerie) and get this magnet for free”

[–] villasv@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 week ago

Where’s that going on though

[–] Fiivemacs@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 week ago

Oh, fun! Were there still huge lines everywhere?

[–] the_mullet@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 week ago

Yeah. That was awful. 5 hours waiting for the Italian pavilion.

Calling poutine being "Canadian" food is cultural appropriation against Quebec.

As a Quebecer, I firmly stand my ground. Not sorry.

But cool visit!!!

Canadian poutine is when they use cheap mozzarella cheese or any white cheese to make a greasy tasteless mess of food.

Quebec poutine is when they use actual cheese curds with piping hot beef heavy to make a greasy tasty mess of food.

There is a difference and most people don't know until they've been to Quebec and had a real poutine there.

It’s the difference between pou-teen and pou-tine.

Every day, I say a prayer of thanks to St. Albert for living in their delivery radius.

[–] i_love_FFT@jlai.lu 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Nope, St. Albert. They make the cheese curds typically used by the fine men and women who operate the grease shacks in the Ottawa Valley.

I think my ban from Quebec for calling St. Hubert Quebec's answer to Swiss Chalet expires soon.

[–] the_mullet@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 week ago

C'est certain!

Calling this: ■ a quadrilateral is cultural appropriation against rectangles.
