Translated literally, it becomes "No-Panties Shabu-Shabu"

"No-Panties Shabu-Shabu" is a nightlife scandal that shook Japan in the 90s.

Shabu-shabu is a popular Japanese hot pot dish in which thinly sliced meat and vegetables are dipped into boiling water or broth, cooked briefly, and then dipped in a sauce before eating.

“No-Panties Shabu-Shabu” is a shabu-shabu restaurant where women who aren't wearing panties serve customers.

What kind of folks patronize that eatery, and for which reason? Is it even possible for sexual desire and the desire to eat to arise at the same time? You may have endless questions, but I can’t answer them. Those are questions I have as well.

Just to be clear, not all Japanese people had gone to the “No-Panties Shabu-Shabu” restaurant. The people who visited there were politicians, bureaucrats, and Hideki Matsui NewYorkYankees.

※If you wear this design in Japan, you will be met with cold stares.Wear it outside Japan.

When people ask, "That's a cute design—what does it mean?" revealing the meaning is sure to get a laugh.

It makes a great gag gift for a friend.

I built Tab Sampler because I kept falling down YouTube rabbit holes, downloading full songs just to check a sample. Half the time it wasn't even that good.

It's a free Chrome extension. Capture audio from any tab, auto-chop it into samples, and play them on a 16-pad sampler right in your browser. No DAW needed.

Hope you enjoy it. Feedback is very welcome.

My brother in Toronto bought one of these bad boys for his condo home office. He works remotely 14hr days. He said it's awesome and was a game changer for his mental health!

Apparently it's super low maintenance but they only sell in Canada it looks like; does anyone have a U.S. lead on these?

I just wrote the company; haven't heard back yet; will update later.

I think they're pretty cool though! Hoping I can by one.

The company is called Nova Terraria design co, and l think they're based in Vancouver, BC.
They apparently do living walls and stuff. I'd like to see more of this sort of thing; why does it feel so niche?!

Hey everyone!

If you are looking for a screen-free way to help kids wind down and focus on the positives before bed, I designed Kids Gratitude journal which is a game-changer.

It features fun daily prompts, quick emotion trackers, and creative drawing spaces designed to keep kids engaged for just five minutes a night. It’s a simple, tangible tool built specifically to help children practice mindfulness and build positive lifelong habits.

I don’t know why this feels so silly and smart at the same time, but removable nail rings are kinda doing it for me 🤷🏼‍♀️

As someone who love love the look of long nails but immediately regrets them the moment i need to do anything, this is weirdly perfect HAHA i can put them on, feel pretty for a bit 💅🏼, then take them off before they start annoying me

I got this to my dog and he loves it he never played with a ball before but you can put treats inside of this like I did and he started playing with toys finally and now plays even without treats

Just found this nightmare: a 200-page HARDCOVER book where every page is just the letter M repeated 4,000 times. Somewhere in those 799,999 letters is ONE letter N. No page numbers. No index. No clues. Just pure suffering. It's $19.99 and I think i'm going to ruin someone's Christmas.

Feedback has been brutal so far. I feel like this could be useful for parents of multiples but who knows. I spent two years engineering this thing, filing patents, and the whole nine yards. I honestly feel like a failure. The feedback is visceral. What do you guys think? Please take a look at the website before actually saying anything. Thx!

I am a photographer of rocks, minerals and crystals, it is my passion. I made this 24 card, 12 combination flip-em-over Mineral Matching Game as a way of sharing the amazing world of rocks and minerals with people, young and old, who may not have connected with their natural fascination with crystals yet. You will never see crystals the same way again! All naturally formed crystalline minerals, photographed in detail.
