Conventions too.
I had hundreds of hits from a single day at an anime con, and managed to fill half the globe with a handful of conventions.
Nothing like coming home and spending the entire night getting those puzzle pieces and beating that Dark Lord.
Internet artists “Waaaaaah, copyright and IP laws stifle innovation and creativity!”
Internet artists when something finally falls into the public domain :

Yes, I want every single jewish person in Isreael to be killed too, but its fine because I’m only anti-zionist.
That’s a nice dessssktop background you’ve got here.
Would be a sssssshame if anything happened to it.
He was also Director Trench in Control.

And then there’s Pluto, by Naoki Urasawa, which is what would happen if Philip K. Dick decided to write an Astro Boy story.
(It’s a reinterpretation of “The Greatest Robot on Earth”, and was supervised by Tezuka’s son, 100% worth a read)
Show me the rare earth tree for solar panels, or the carbon fiber tree for windmills.
The OuLiPo is a French creative writing comitee created in the 60’s that uses original constraints to foster original works.
One of their most famous works is A Void (La Disparition in French), which is a 300 page novel entirely written without using the letter E, which is the one banned by the instance. (And yes, there is an English translation that was also written entirely without the letter E)
Give it an extra 20 years and your meat will fall off your bones though.
The smallest living space you’re allowed to put for sale/rent in France is 9m², and those absolutely are a thing. They’re very common for example for student housing, but also former maid quarters, especially in older buildings.
The English Housing Act considers that one person living in a 70sqft room makes it legally “overcrowded”, although there aren’t any legal minimal sizes to sell or rent a flat.
Ummm, either you mixed units or your parking spots are very large.
15m² is slightly less than a 4m x 4m square, that’s basically a small flat (larger than the smallest legal flat in a lot of developed countries, in fact)
“If it doesn’t violate the Geneva Convention, it doesn’t come on a mission”
Oh boy, this bogus article again.
Yes, train is cheaper than plane if you tack on an extra hotel night for no reason.
There’s no difference between leaving on a Friday night and arriving on a Saturday morning by night train, and leaving on a Saturday morning and arriving on the same morning by plane.
Add to this that sleepover trains aren’t available for the vast majority of destinations in Europe, and this article feels more and more like an ad paid for by the companies, which basically represent the entirety of the sleeper train option.
Addendum : I love the “a family of 4 saves £94, vut an even larger family could save up to £300!” part. Yes, if I took my entire extended family with me, we could even save over a grand on the trip !
“You’re also less likely to get stranded by a last-minute flight cancellation or lengthy delay - a nightmare that can destroy the most meticulously-planned holiday.” Ah yes, the train, a mean of transportation that is notoriously known for it’s reliability and lack of delay.
You want a cheap, low-impact holiday transportation? Coaches will get you across Europe for actually cheaper than planes, no ifs or buts, and aren’t too polluting as long as they’re full (also, trains are only “clean” transportation as long as they run on electricity and said electricity isn’t produced by burning coal or oil)
The vast majority of people likely don’t know that .tv isn’t a vanity or official TLD, but the Tuvalu country TLD. And its royalties make up nearly 10% of the state’s budget.
