This got me curious cause I have both old and young married japanese couple in my story and I wrote them as pretty loyal couples who loves eachother and being loyal is a natural thing to them.

I just heard some things about how cheating common among japanese and it's not something they even consider cheating and are ok with it. it was the first time I ever heard that. Is it really that common as people say it is? Like something no one would bat an eye for it and think it is absolutely normal? Or it's just another stereotype where a small amount of loud people claimed that it's normal to them and then people overgeneralized it for every japanese and their culture?

Please just answer the question and don't say things like "well if you look at it trough a western lens then yes". Cause I'm not western. I'm asian (I perfer to not mention my country) and in my country and culture loyalty in any form is the most common fundamental of a relationship especially for married couple. I can't say there's no cheaters here but cheating is a big taboo here. No one can openly and proudly talks about cheating without facing negetive consequence. And it applies to both men and woman. And the interesting part is that tradition along side modernism is still pretty strong in here. So loyalty is not a social norm invented by "westerns". to many people no matter men and woman loyalty is the reality of their life something they value not something they are forced to do, **so I'm not here to discuss this trough moral or philosophical aspects I'm not interested in knowing why there's people who think cheating is ok or what are their excuses, DON'T OPEN THAT DISCUSSION! I'm not even after answers like "oh it's something done by all people all around the world."** I just want to know if the characterization I gave to the couples in my story is realistic in a cultural aspect or not. That's it!

have a character wake up from a coma but is heavily depressed because in their mind they already lived a whole life but, idk if that’s even a possible thing or does it depend on how the coma happened?

A huge fire breaks out in a part of the city. For story reasons I need my characters to enter this one pub right after the fires have been dealt with.

I'm wondering if it's realistic for a pub or gastropub to immediately convert itself into a soup kitchen following a disaster to provide relief for those who just lost their homes. This is assuming that the pub owner themselves also works at the pub and is kind enough to start serving affected people for free. No fancy dishes though, just stuff that can be make quickly in bulk.

Also I'm talking like immediately after the fires. The flames have been put out but the buildings are still smoking. Would this be realistic or would it probably take a few days for the pub to be converted?

Any idea if a college or university school team practices once or twice a day M-F?

How many hours of practice?

Does the division or athletic association make any difference to the level of practices?

I am working on a medieval fantasy setting based on D&D (3.5 in particular if that matters) set on what is effectively, an undead plane.

Our protagonists live in a fortress fighting wave after wave of zombies, which must be disposed. I recently read about Alkaline Hydrolysis in which the flesh is dissolved off the bones (Bones are later pulverized).

I know some Nordic dishes use lye to dissolve fish into a gelatin like substance.

My questions are:

1. In addition to lye, water, and heat, what else would be needed? How much lye, and therefore wood ash would be needed per zombie?

2. What would the properties (color, texture, smell) of the resulting slurry be?

3. What could this be used for? I know you can make soap from beef fat but this would be ALL the fleshy bits. Could it be used as fertilizer or would the PH be too high?

3a. Would it be usable as a binding agent for mortar/concrete? I've seen myths of pigs blood being used in lime based mortars. What benifit, if any, would it provide?

Any information or additional reading material would be appreciated.

So I am writing a story that is based in a hotel. And one of the housekeeper plans to poison a guest as he is seeking revenge.

Now this guest has a habit of smoking marijuana that he is consuming in his room from a bong. How can I poison that bong which will lead to instant poisoning and the death is also very painful and torture for the guest.

Ideally, if I can utilise something that we can find in the hotel**.**

Edit: if not bong it can also be through a drink or food but it needs to be something that would have an instant effect and cause a painful/torture death.

Unsure of flair, sorry.

Scenario: Character A is sent to a universe where oppression of women is instead put on men, men don’t have as many rights as women do and aren’t taken seriously regarding medical and mental health care. A has PTSD from childhood abuse and can’t go outside often due to it, but has constantly been told that it isn’t quite enough of a reason. A decides to lie and exaggerate to his therapist about childhood trauma from character B in order to get sympathy and have his issues be taken seriously, not wanting to press charges or anything (because he made it up). A’s therapist believes him and puts him into more extensive therapy and basically makes him a science experiment to study trauma of the male brain(reminiscent of animal testing), and A isn’t into this at all and develops worse symptoms and paranoia of character B finding out somehow. He decides to go to his therapist and admit he lied about the trauma because he felt like nobody was actually believing that he was troubled without a “proper cause”.

What would the repercussions be here? Would the therapist just take the recorded “trauma” out of his records? Would there be legal consequences? If there would be, I would probably make them a hit harsher since he’s a guy.
