I find it pretty funny seeing people talk about how Japan is not as advanced as people think. Meanwhile my home state the majority of people don't have Internet. I've been getting pretty convinced that most places use fax machines due to how few places have Internet. Anyplace that has any amount of beurocracy uses paper files. There are a considerable amount of places were cell signals simply don't work. The only way reason I know of public transport busses is because of movies. VHS player are common place for house holds. Many work vehicles were made in the 60s and we still use buckets to collect sap when sugaring. Card readers are rare so some gas stations require you to pay with cash. All around the only advanced tech things Vermont has to offer are our winter cars and the f13s that occasionally blow peoples ear drums out.

Come to Quebec where everyone and their mother have a maple syrup shack.

[–] guiguinofake@sh.itjust.works 1 points 8 months ago

Can confirm. Everyone in Québec has a mononc(uncle) Réjean who is like the 5th biggest maple syrup producer in the world.

Your country has a strategic maple syrup reserve. Maybe you guys need to calm down about the maple syrup.

That's the only thing we have, might as well go all in.
