Why do Japs sleep on the floor? Why do they hate beds?
>>
>>149908106
Because they didn't even have European beds until 65 years ago.
>>
They're poor as fuck so they don't have beds and conserve space. They still even love sitting on the fucking floor and only have some low ass tables.
>>
>>149908106
I've always wondered about this too. Maybe it's softer with the mat flooring, but you'd think that a European style bed would be more comfortable. Unless space really is that serious an issue.
>>
Most nips sleep on proper beds now it's just an anime meme like the protags family running a Japanese sweets shop.
>>
It's because the tatami makes sleeping on the floor super comfy. And they can use that space for other things since they live in super small apartments.
>>
How else are you going to get enormous house spiders into your mouth and hair, do you have a better suggestion?

Sitting on the floor actually isn't bad if you have carpet and some kind of cushion. The only problem is when you don't have low ass tables.
>>

slept for a year on the floor during my time in japan. I miss it, to be honest.
>>
>>149909124
>Unless space really is that serious an issue.
It is, especially if you live in an apartment in the city. Think Tatami Galaxy, a 4.5 tatami mat room (which is on the small side but fairly common) is less than 7 square meters. A western style bed's going to take up like 1/4 of the room.
>>
I thought like 90% of people in Japan's rural areas used Western style housing and thus furniture?
Series where they live in Tokyo always have normal beds and dinner tables.
>>
I had to sleep on a futon for a little while when my old bed broke. It was pretty comfy, but definitely not ideal here in Texas where there's always bugs getting in the house.
>>
This>>149908377
is the correct answer.

You wake up, fold your futon, put it in the wardrobe, and thus you have much more space.

You should realize that you actually eat a spider every week or so when sleeping.

You should realize that's a myth.
>>
>>149912307
>r-right, g-guys?
>>
>>149912307
It's a myth you eat 1 a week or 7 a year.

That number is far far to low.

There is hundreds of thousands of microscopic spiders on your eyelid hairs alone, you swallow a couple dozen every time you swallow. They are in your mouth now.

Who cares though?

You can store a ton of shit under your bed.
Meanwhile, if you wanna put your futon away to use that extra space, you'll need a place to store it anyway.

I sleep on the floor. I've done so ever since my air mattress popped and I'm too cheap to buy a new one.

It's fucking awful. IF you can maintain a neutral position, it's good for your back, but having any kind of pillow fucks up your spine still. You basically need no cushioning and going on your sides will cause lack of circulation to your extremities. I regularly wake up unable to feel my goddamn arms and legs.

You also cannot get restorative effects from sleep, at all. I sleep 6 hours and it feels like an 8 hour workday. Mentally, physically exhausted fighting posture and circulations all night while you're unconscious.

Soft, elevated beds might be shit but the Japs don't know any better.

Part of it is cultural preferences, the other part is many Japanese live in very small apartments.

There are few people who have never slept in bed in modern Japan. For Japanese, it is usual for Japanese to sleep in bed other than narrow apartments or pure Japanese rooms.

I stayed in New York in a super tiny apartment for a few months and was actually considering getting myself a Japanese futon thing just to have more space at my place, since I literally could not fit my bed and my PC in my bedroom at the same time.

I figured they couldn't be that bad or that uncomfy since lots of Japs do it, and it'd save me a shit tonne of space. I asked /jp/ about it though and they said that every so often you have to take it outside and beat the ever loving shit out of it and let it sun bathe, or it'll go bad. That killed the idea of getting one for me though so I threw that idea out the window.

I had to settle for just setting up my PC in my small living room area instead.

every 和室 has dedicated space for storing futon, 押し入れ where you can also hide your fap materials and hentai magazine so it's not like our room size is too small as we can just clear it and put bed there

I've been sleeping on the floor for the past 10-years or so. To put it bluntly I cannot sleep on soft surfaces anymore, it's not comfy at all and waking up is an ass.

On the other hand I've never ever dragged my futon outside to the sun and beat it. The insides are dead and it's basically just the outer fabrics against the floor, so finding a proper position is vital.

You get used to it, but I'm honestly not a fan. Disclaimer: I bought a 3-in instead of a 6, but sleeping on the floor was just kind of uncomfortable as it is, not sure a comfier futon would have made much of a difference. It's pretty cool when you have guests, though.

Assuming by normal floors you mean just your basic hardwood floors.
I wonder how a futon would feel here.

Not Greek Fire. It's a completely different compound.

>>149926602
>>149926796
What's so good about the way Romans make concrete bases, and what's so good about Greek fire?
>>
>>149926751
In Japan at least you can buy thin mattresses for putting under futons.
I had to get one because I have a hard floor. The futon alone was murder for my back. The mattress is only about an inch thick but it is perfectly fine now.
>>
>>149926824
Our concrete needs reinforcing with metal sticks, the Roman concrete does not.
>>
>>149926634

We're still not sure what Greek Fire even is

Some of their structures are still fucking standing.

Nothing really, except the fact they managed to produce the shit and we don't know how.

Can you imagine only 1 or 0? There are most things in Europe and the United States in Japan, but it is only that there are many things only in Japan at the same time.

I haven't slept in a bed in years. Usually just throw a blanket on the floor and sleep on that. Being able to sleep anywhere is a valuable skill and a bed is such a pain in the ass to move.

>Sleeping on the floor
Sounds like a recipe for respiratory issues down the road from breathing in all that dust.

You can get used to sleeping with a futon directly on a hardwood floor. Took me some months until I didn't notice it anymore. At the beginning I had to sleep like pic related because it hurt my hips too much. But now I can sleep in any position I want.

Mon Dieu, medieval architecture is gorgeous.

>Some of their structures are still fucking standing.
A lot have been maintained, but a lot more were cannibalized. The Coliseum for example is still standing despite it basically having stone and bronze clamps torn out. The thing more or less stood on it's own for a few hundred years.

That's a tiny room, but somehow if teels like the house itself is really big.

>>149927131
And then you notice the placement of that stack of shelves and the wardrobe.

>>149909580
i've been sleeping on the floor for a few years now
and not be the nips do it.

I feel uncomfortable sleeping in my bed with my body pillows, if i have a schizo attack i tend to think they are real. it fucking hurts so bad when i realize it, but it's so fucking comfy when i don't

this is like saying humans are a kind of rodent

If they were in Japan with earthquakes abnormally, they would not have been left.
>>
>>149927189
no, that's like saying humans are a kind of primate, which we fucking are.
>>
>>149927169
Good catch but I seen a lot of rooms irl just like that.
According to friends, they only need one door open.

>>149927198
Italy just lost 2 entire villages to earthquakes this year, think they were just in the 6 range.
>>
>>149927198
Bruh. Earthquakes are common in the Mediterranean in general, and that's pretty much the craddle of civilization.
>>
>>149927270
7% of the world's active volcanoes are gathered in Japan. It is often said that Japanese architecture is focusing on earthquake resistance.
>>
>>149927198
Yeah, good thing there are no earthquakes in Italy.

Because they were really bad for you back/spine.

>>149915188
I lived in Okinawa (military family) when I was a kid and slept on a futon at a friend's. Started having back pain a few years back and ordered a futon and buckwheat seed pillow. I sleep like a baby and my back never hurts anymore.

Are you fucking kidding me? We really can't figure out how concrete as good as people 2000 years ago? Why?

Fuck you cat. I'm picking you up until I get settled and then you can resnuggle and use my balls as a pillow. I miss you Shadow. ;-;

do you want to get athlete's foot or something. cant even imagine myself wearing shoes all day except when I sleep or shower

Bed is too expensivve for japanese.
>>
>>149925449
I did, once. Accidently.
>>
>>149927653
So..you imagine wearing them all day while you shower and sleep or you only wear them while you shower and sleep.
>>
>>149927644
Because your ancestors burned the fucking scroll the recipe was on.
>>
>>149927644
Concrete without rebar and reinforcement has little meaning.
>>
>>149926876
you sure it's not a brand of spicy chips mate? I reckon the facts became skewed and they just tossed bags of prometheus crisps onto hungry enemy ships, and well, you get the idea

We can, he's just memeing you, Roman concrete uses the ashes originated by Vesuvius eruptions, it was called Pozzolan Concrete. The technology to make this was lost for 2000 years due the fall of the Roman empire, and concrete was only rediscovered by the 18th century.

It is same as living in a cave such as a house where you live without taking off your shoes.

Spider is a very specific term, though. Mites are arachnids, not spiders.

This.

The only time I've ever slept on a futon in Japan is when staying at people's houses and it was basically no different to somebody giving you an airbed in the west. Japan is really westernised and apart from the wacky things people intentionally look out for because that's what they go out looking for, it's not that different to what you'll find in most Western countries in terms of anemities.

This brought back horrible memories of sharing a single room with all four of my bothers. We took turns sleeping on the bed and floor. My family bought some weird ass foldable chair that turns into a bed. It was not comfy that I would sleep on the couch in the living room. Thank fuck it was only for a month.
