* Until March 10, 2016, confirmed casualities and missings totaled to 18,455, among over 400 thousands refugees 174,471 are still away from home, tera-tons of radioactive soil heaps remain unsolved, estimated rebuilding cost is rising over ¥10 trillion.
🗾Japanologist:
"Jappa" is Tohoku (lt. northeastern) Ben (Japanese: dialect, use) for "zappa (雑把 lt. roughly grabbed)"
"Jappa jiru", traditional soup/stew of potluck kind in Tohoku, served as rescue rations in the aftermath of 2011 3.11 Tohoku earthquake, became nation-wide popular "B-kyu menu" (B class Quick recipes), bento (original meaning is 'convenience use') item.
So Jappa-needs goods qualifies survival standards for Japanesenpeople.

A slang term for GLP-1 medications(like Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, etc.), usually referring to their appetite-killing, weight-loss, or “I forgot to eat” effects rather than the medical details.

Usage:
* Often casual, ironic, or meme-y
* Can imply effortless weight loss, suppressed hunger, or being “powered by pharmaceuticals”

Not a brand name—just shorthand for the whole GLP-1 wave. Frequently shows up in online jokes, gym talk, and group chats where people pretend they’re *totally* doing it naturally.
