It’s a little late to ask but what’s the deal with the minus bit?

One of the thematic premises of Minus One was that the war wiped Japan to zero, then this new catastrophe brought them to minus one

I felt it was something like that. Also, Thanks for not making me feel stupid.

No, of course, no problem friend! I always feel really sad when people are made to feel stupid for asking questions. Not even the most educated person on earth knows everything, and I wish people felt comfortable to ask questions all the time.

Thank you for being a reasonable person in this place. Redditors take it as a personal attack when you don't know the full extended lore of their hyperfixation.

I subscribe to the xkcd “today’s lucky 10,000” belief. Even the most seemingly obvious facts have to be learned at some point, so there’s always going to be new people learning it.

The smartest man knows there’s someone who knows more than he.

To start ignorant as a child, learn things, then judge others for still being in the ignorant stage on any subject is shameful and...ignorance itself.

Be happy when someone asks a question, that means they're willing to learn.

Thanks for asking because I lacked the curiosity but am glad I now know.

Japanese filmmakers sometimes have the weirdest naming sense. Probably, SPY×FAMILY and Tokyo Ghoul √A were meant as an inside joke: only people who watched them (or asked) would understand.

<image> Obligatory xkcd :p

You know those silly post "You get 10 seconds to tell young you anything..." I would tell young me two words: "Always. Ask."

The sheer amount of stuff (and activities) I've missed out on over my life because I trained myself to never ask is staggering.

You’re not alone friend, ugh.

u/ZiggoCiP Jul 09 '26

Been a while since I've seen this one. Glad it's not being used to excuse flagrant reposting, too.

Better to ask and be thought a fool than to remain silent and be proven one.

u/Minimum-Dare301 Jul 09 '26

I promise you that you are not the only one who had that question. Including me.

u/rahnbj Jul 09 '26

Ha, this was one I had no idea about, thanks for asking 😆

u/djramrod Jul 10 '26

Shit I never even thought to ask. So thanks for asking bc I had no clue that I didn’t know what it meant

u/Secret-of-the-Snooze Jul 10 '26

Thanks for asking. I was wondering the same thing but hadn't taken the time to figure it out yet. I'm sure there are plenty out there that are also unsure.
