Reply to comment by Freak-Wency in TIL that fish skin is used as wound dressing for severe burn injuries, leading to fast and very effective healing. by firesparxx
i just scalded my foot quite badly, as in, maybe hand sized blister on foot. 2nd degree burn.
first thing they did is say that the wound is naturally clean to begin with, adding anything to it is bad.
some hospitals leave the blister, they deroofed mine (basically pierce it with clean scissors and cut all the skin off before adding a mesh and then wrapping it.
i've had to get it rewrapped 3 times now. if you're reading the above comment wondering, please just go get help, not everyone is in a circumstance that they are able to, but burns are no joke, just immediately cool it down with something clean and room temp and then go to the hospital

"bomb in (important place)"
also interestingly, the whole "free speech" thing is never absolute. there's tons of stuff you can say in america that'll get you into seriously deep shit. countries just have different tolerances for it acceptable free speech.

japan has a knack for taking cultural stuff from around the world and them dominating their original countries at it.
just look at food. if you want the best french food, go to japan, if you want the best italian food, go to japan.
at the very least, they're on par with the home country and often better.
edit: people really didn't like this comment, but here:
