Fact: Cargo ships like the S.S. Chuckola exported Chuckola Cola to other countries long ago.

A cargo ship strongly resembling the S.S. Chuckola can be seen shipwrecked at Cavi Cape in the Mushroom Kingdom during Mario & Luigi: Bowser’s Inside Story + Bowser Jr.’s Journey.

I wanted a headcanon about Konohagakure so bad!! you are very talented.

thank you so much, dear! Since so much is known about Konoha already, I hope these are what you're looking for

Konohagakure Worldbuilding Headcanon

People

Generally speaking, people from Konoha are seen as polite and even outgoing, but sometimes a little obnoxious when it comes to their rampant patriotism. As the first shinobi village of its kind, there is only so much propaganda a Konoha shinobi can handle before turning a little cocky. Konoha citizens love gossip and are often looking for the newest gossip to furthen their sense of unity. They are a rather collectivist society with everyone having to do their part, and the public court of opinion is often times brutal, men especially are often expected to just 'suck it up' and 'act like a man'.

Politics

The hokage is seen as the highest authority figure in the village, unlike in some villages the general population's trust in the village leader is high. The hokage's decisions aren't really allowed to be questioned, and unlike Kiri citizens who do it behind closed doors, Konoha citizens don't even dare to do that. Konoha has a mixed economy with quite a lot of the shinobi income going directly to the village. There is some basic healthcare, but only covers the bare necessities, and better, high quality treatments have to be paid out of pocket. The laguage spoken in Konoha and the fire country (Japanese) is the most spoken language and taught in the other villages as the standard foreign language. It is also the reason why the Kage offices in the different villages have the kanji for the different elements in front of them - to make it easier to find for foreigners. As a second foreign language, people often choose the Kumo language.

Flora

Konoha -and the fire country in general- typically have very bright, warm weather. In the south, there are agonizingly hot summers - snowy winters being a rarity. Konoha is surrounded by dense, lush mixed forest land which serves as a habitat for a wide range of plants and herbs - some of them even having medicinal uses. Although mushrooms are commonly found in the Konoha forests, most of them are poisonous and should not be eaten.

Fauna

The forests are filled to the brim with many different animals, the most commonly found ones being wolves, eagles, deer, boar, pheasants and wild cats. Deer are often hunted and their meat is exported into different coutries as a delicacy. On the rarer side, tigers and bears can be found as well, but they typically stick to themselves. Ever since Konoha has been growing in population, some animals have been pushed out of their habitat and started to coexist with the citizens.

Food

Meat To secure dinner in Kiri, you can just go fishing. And to secure dinner in Konoha, you can just go hunting. Seriously. Meat, especially venison, is the preferred protein source of Konoha shinobi. However, if you ask a Konoha shinobi what they think of Sungakure and their habit of turning any meat they find into jerky, they would be horrified. Grilling meat is the most preferred method of preparing meat, closely followed by frying it.

Ramen Due to cultural influences from Uzushiogakure, ramen, including instant ramen, have grown in popularity over the decades. Next to rice, wheat is the preferred source of carbs here. Funnily enough, most Konoha shinobi prefer whole grain over white flour. To each their own, I guess.

Baked goods and confectionary

Konoha has quite a few café's and bakeries that offer many little desserts. But I have to warn you: "Buttercream" in Konoha often just means whipped cream - very different compared to the thick and buttery goodness Kumo shinobi are used to. The most popular baked good in Konoha is the Baumkuchen, frequently enjoyed by sweet tooths such as Itachi Uchiha, Hinata Hyuga and Ibiki Morino.

[The Herald is Zimbabwean State Media]

ZIMBABWE will soon receive a large injection of technology for mushroom farmers to upgrade their business and to bring many more into the sector, along with US$20 million worth of extra food assistance from China.

CHINA has been the main anchor of major economic milestones that the Second Republic has registered including the construction of the iconic, magnificent and imposing new Parliament building in Mount Hampden on the outskirts of Harare, President Mnangagwa has said.

The Head of State and Government said there has been growing diplomatic and economic engagement between Zimbabwe and China over the past years resulting in more companies from the Asian economic giant coming to make huge investments in the country.

President Mnangagwa said this yesterday at a handover ceremony of the China-aided New Parliament Building Project in Mt Hampden where Beijing officially handed over the building to Zimbabwe.[...]

“Over and above these projects, we have witnessed increased diplomatic and economic engagement between Zimbabwe and the People’s Republic of China. In addition, our country has seen many more Chinese companies investing in various sectors of the economy. The emergence of quality export products from Zimbabwe, particularly citrus, entering the Chinese market is a welcome development. The milestones that Zimbabwe has realised since the advent of the Second Republic have been positively impacted by the support of His Excellency, President Xi Jinping and the people of China.”[...]

“Honourable Members of the visiting Chinese delegation, we have noted that your country has developed based on its own resources and people. We are proud as Zimbabwe to have developed our own development philosophy, which recognises our peculiar realities, inspired by China’s development path. Here we say, Nyika inovakwa nevene vayo, Ilizwe lakhiwa ngabanikazi balo which, simply translated means ‘a country is built by its own people’.”[...]

“We shall forever be grateful to the People’s Republic of China who, along with the Russian Federation, vetoed machinations by some Western countries who in 2008, attempted to pass a United Nations Chapter 7 resolution on Zimbabwe at the United Nations Security Council. Presently, the People’s Republic of China continues to stand with Zimbabwe against the illegal sanctions and opposes interference in our internal affairs,” he said.

"You're a tourist in the mushroom kingdom when as the final destination of your tour around the country, you decide to visit the castle, where the country's princess "peach" lives and works. As you go to the castle peach greets you and a couple of other tourist like you, you're lucky that you've arrived in the castle's short time period where it's open for the general public(it's useally for 4 hours in the afternoon) You guys see many parts of the castle, just wondering in awe by the infrastructure, but as you do this you accidentally go away from the tour group, now you try finding your way back when one of the doors you open leads to the enclosed backyard which functions as a garden. For a minute you forgot that you just got lost and look around, many type's of wonderful plants are here, although it's mostly flowers and fruit bush's, as you look around you see a pink rose-like which has a crown on the top of it, you can't believe that flower has a crown on the top of it so you lean closer, but as you do the rose suddenly brusts out pollen, and that makes you cough and barely take in oxygen, but after that inital shock, you begin to feel differently, sweet aroma's take over your sense's and your vision becomes blurry and colorful, and then your mind completely blanks out…

5 Hours Later

Peach strolls into the garden to water some plants and to calm herself down for a bit and forget the international relations conflic about fruit export with the mobius country,and as she does that she hears moaning sounds. "Wh-who is it" - says as she handles the watering can into an attacking position, looks around and sees a fellow human completely delirous, just knocked out on the gravel "Oh your poor thing" - says as she runs to you "What happened over here?" - says again as she looks to the plant you where sleeping by. "Dang it, it's those peach flowers again that e.gadd gave me for my birthday, i mean i appricate his efforts to create some flowers based on human liknesses with science, but they are causing me way too much trouble in the spring time when these emit pollen daily. I mean the amount of guys i needed to have sex with just cause the flowers makes them extremely horny for me and the only way to counteract it is to fuck them are way too high for someone like me", she then sighs. "And you're gonna be one of these lucky bastards don't you?", you proceed to respond nothing but with more moaning "Gimme your leg, time to get peachy hihi" says in a kinda cute voice as she grabs your leg and drags you across the garden into the castle."

Doing an actual pov story, and not just a scp/found media ripoff??? IMPOSSIBLE Anyways, the 2024 list is officially in use now and remember Stay safe and obey :)

The possibility of aromantic living situations

Busy this Valentines Day as an aroace person thinking about the relationship between capitalism, family structures, and property (very normal thing to think about I know). In a book I read recently, The Mushroom at the End of the World; On the Possibility of Life in Capitalist Ruins by Anna Lowenhaupt Tsing, she talks about one of the goals of capitalism is scalability. Scalability is about making sure that a unit can work on every different sized model. Endless growth is an important part of capitalism, and if all your 'units' are the same size, you can easily create the same thing, just bigger, only requiring more of the same parts, rather than creating new parts. E.g. if you have a square block, you can create the exact same shape just bigger (read: making more money) if you have four more of the same square blocks.

The nuclear family is one of those squares that forms the basis of so much of society from housing to child raising to everyday finances. It is no secret that the nuclear family (mum, dad, and kids) is seen as the ideal and moral family structure in most of the west. And colonialism has had a big part in exporting this to other places around the world. But for many people, especially aro folks, this structure just doesn't fit what we want out of life.

And I've just been thinking about how that idea of the nuclear family is related to property and wealth and how it disadvantages queer folks. In the country which I live in, there is a massive housing crisis and owning a house is a pipe dream for many because of the cost. Property is culturally seen as probably the main way in which you build wealth/capital because you don't get taxed on it (there is no property/capital gains tax) and there are SO MANY tax benefits for landlords its insane. So when housing is linked so majorly to wealth and capitalism it makes sense that you would want it to be scalable.

And what is the most scalable living/family structure? The nuclear family. So, since housing is market driven, theres no incentive to create other types of houses/living situations except those designed for the nuclear family. Because property/housing is so ingrained in capitalism, that its an investment, and you want to be going for a big portion of the market.

This just creates an endless cycle of property enforcing traditional nuclear family structures, and nuclear family structures enforcing property. Because there is no incentive to provide anything different and there is limited ability to be anything else. And even if a person, or developer or whatever wants to create something non-typical (e.g. cohousing and coliving, at least in my country) because its not scalable or market friendly, good luck finding a bank to give you a loan, or a developer to work on it, or hell even the government to have proper land classifications to make such a project possible.

It just frustrates me so much as a non-partnering aromantic person because I feel like I have no options and I have to fit my circular shape into a square just so that people can build a bigger model of the exact same thing. And I think its something that we don't talk enough about in the queer community, and that we make ourselves into these square blocks because there is no other way to be, and in doing so just enforcing the very structures that oppress us.

So anyway, rant over. Hopefully my brain dump made sense and resonates with some of y'all. And go read The Mushroom at the End of the World, its really eye opening.

The Winter Aristocrat’s Dinner: A framed painting of a thin, beautiful, long-haired person eating a luxurious feast alone at a table in the snow that is, at first glance, a wonder.

Whatever figures were once painted there are covered now by a soft, porous mold that peels away easily but seems endless.

An azure-lacquered tablet that has a moon-bent tree made from polished ironoak laid into its face, the roots of which entangle each other and protrude from the tablet to end in small spikes.

A deep purple linen shirt sewn with extraordinarily thin iron wire in the shape of a cloud-shrouded moon over the right breast. Between the wires grows a pale green mold, clinging to the shirt in flaky outgrowths. The wearer can always see the moon’s outline, no matter what it is hidden behind. In moonlight, the mold grows noticeably.

A tin brooch shaped like a lightning-struck tree, with a dozen forks of lightning made from carefully inlaid porcelain, some of them broken.

A bundle of unopened correspondence of a prominent politician.

Earlier this month some two dozen people were released in the biggest prisoner exchange between Russia and the West in years.

It shone a light on the band of foreigners held in Russian jails.

The Finnish Security and Intelligence Service (Supo) told Hufvudstadsbladet that there's a heightened risk that Russia could exploit Finns in an attempt to release imprisoned Russians in Finland. The recent prisoner exchange demonstrated the efficacy of hostage diplomacy, according to the paper.

"Russia has secured the release of many citizens through hostage diplomacy," Supo deputy director Teemu Turunen told HBL, noting that it's a tool employed by authoritarian states with Finns not holding any special protection in this regard.

Turunen was, however, tight-lipped as to whether there is currently any Russian imprisoned in Finland whom the regime wants released — someone who could potentially be involved in a future prisoner exchange between the countries.

Vandalised heritage

Media outlets, including Ilta-Sanomat, are asking why a national landmark in central Helsinki was vandalised. The bronze sculpture in question depicts Elias Lönnrot, considered the father of the Finnish Kalevala, writing down the songs that would make up the Finnish epic.

IS reports that the monument has been defaced with a red substance, with the word "colonialist" graffitied across the sculpture's base.

Elias Lönnrot's head seems to have been the main target of the substance, although it's also partly on the face of Kalevala character Väinämöinen, who is seated next to Lönnrot.

Lönnrot was a prominent member of the Fennoman movement, which was instrumental in building a sense of Finnish identity in the 19th century. Some academics have argued that that Kalevala showed elements of a colonialist attitude among Finns towards Karelians.

Pricey fungus

Taloussanomat offers tips for aspiring mushroom hunters as the matsutake mushroom season begins. This fragrant mushroom, called tuoksuvalmuska in Finnish, thrives in dry pine forests. Enthusiasts have already reported sightings in Lempäälä.

It's coveted a fungus around Asia. In Japan, young matsutake mushrooms are reported to sell for up to 4,000 euros per kilo, with the price often exceeding 1,000 euros per kilo.

In Finland, restaurants have purchased it at prices ranging from one to 30 euros per kilogram.

Tea von Bonsdorff, a mycologist at Helsinki University, lamented the fact that Finland has not been able to figure out how to successfully export the mushroom to Japan.

While slightly forgotten now, Finland used to see matsutake tourists who went on special forays in search of the pine mushroom, according to Bonsdorff.

Mushrooms can be picked almost anywhere in Finland thanks to Everyone's Rights, which allow access to nature regardless of property ownership. However, it is important to exercise caution and only pick identifiable and edible mushrooms.

The Finnish Martta organisation has a guide in English to some of the easier-to-find varieties of mushroom in Finland's forests.

It's Naruto Worldbuildin Time!

How was Kusagakure able to stay in business?

Here's what Narutopedia DE has to say: Kusagakure (草隔れ, Kusagakure no Sato, literally "The Village Hidden in the Grass") is located in the Grass Realm. The shinobi from this village specialize in jutsus that can affect the flora and fauna. Referring to the shinobi who came from Kusagakure, it can be assumed that this village is much less peaceful. More from Narutopedia EN: Kusagakure is skilled in diplomacy, a trait they constantly use to read the movements of other countries and stay one step ahead of them. They also analyse techniques from other villages in a similar manner. Because of these principles, others find it hard to read the shinobi from this village's attitudes. Although it has never been named, the country Kusagakure is located in has been shown on several occasions. The country is rich with forests, some consisting of giant mushrooms or bamboo. It also seems to have many rivers and deep ravines.

Imperialism is a thing in the shinobi world, and the grass realm was raided by Iwagakure. Despite that, it seems to be quite industrialized. I was wondering how? Here's my theory. Before the grass realm had its rich forests and mushrooms, it was surrounded by.. well.. grasslands. The ability of Kusa ninja to change the flora and fauna has made it possible to turn those badlands into rich forests with huge mushrooms. But aside from creating forestlands, Kusagakure found another way to utilize their speciality: Grain cultivation and agriculture.

Kusagakure is the biggest exporter of grains (except rice, that's Kiri) and vegetables. They can create the best growing conditions for these products. Also, the flowershop that Ino's family owns? The flowers they sell are imported from Kusagakure.

Innovation is the Key to Success

The year 2020 marked the beginning of chaos as the Coronavirus pandemic took over. Overnight industries were shut down, death and loss became the buzzwords and it appeared as if ‘survival of the fittest’ had just been translated afresh. It was a time when the world came to a grinding halt and yet, hope loomed on the horizon. With lockdowns happening everywhere, it became difficult to get even essential things like food, water, toiletries, etc. from a nearby grocery store. Fortunately, the last-mile delivery companies had already started mushrooming in early 2017 / 2018. The COVID situation, accelerated the growth of all these companies & from being a luxury of ordering things on an App, this suddenly became a ‘saviour.’ One could order anything on click of a button & get stuff home delivered. Last-Mile Delivery & Logistics companies gained momentum and soon an army of courier boys were seen dotting the streets, each delivering food, medicines, and much more.

Ankit Agarwal, a serial entrepreneur with 23+ years of experience has always believed in innovation & forward thinking. The boom of Last Mile Delivery companies encouraged him to launch BikeKit in 2018. BikeKit is a one-stop shop for all the products that a company needs in its delivery arsenal. It manufactures unique products & provides SMART services in the areas of Delivery Solutions, Rider Safety, and Rider Wellness. In four short years BikeKit has re-written the rules of the game, and its products are exported to more than 20+ countries from its Dubai Headquarters.

Who could have thought back in 2018-19 that in merely two-three years logistics would be one of the top revenue grossing businesses globally?

BikeKit’s innovative LED Delivery Bags

Delivery bags have been around since past many years. Available in different sizes, colors, materials, etc. they are used for carrying a host of items. BikeKit’s team thought of innovating this product & came up with the idea of adding backlit LED panels to these bags.

One cannot miss it, as the 12 V panel, either connected to the bike’s battery or a customized power bank, can be seen shining bright, even from a distance of 50 Meters!

The bag, made from strong fabric, displays superior stitching and has adjustable straps that provide maximum comfort to the rider. What’s more, the LED Delivery Bag also takes care of road safety, as the rider becomes more visible in dark or cloudy conditions.

BikeKit also offers 'Plain Delivery Bags' which are reasonably priced and offers ultimate ergonomic comfort to the rider. Made with high-grade quality raw material, it is neatly stitched and has cushioned and adjustable shoulder straps that provide immense support to the rider.

Both the bags are for courier delivery and are suitable for delivering medicines, groceries, food, and documents, and depending on their use, hot or cool modules can also be added to further enhance their superior utility. Bags can be customized as per a company’s requirements. These bags can either have a top opening flap or both top & side opening.
