Dermatology Visit, Japanese Writing & Terrible Online Quizzes

Michelle has just completed a dermatology visit to have numerous moles and other skin features examined. Everything appears normal at that appointment, though the experience leaves her wondering how a person is supposed to interpret common visual warnings when her own moles already vary in size, shape and color. The hosts turn that uncertainty into jokes, but this personal account is not skin-cancer screening, diagnostic or follow-up guidance.A detour into language learning reveals that Michelle can read hiragana and katakana while still searching for a resource that makes the wider Japanese writing system click. She explains how katakana helps her recognize borrowed words and manga sound effects, recalls slowly decoding “white stew” and describes understanding occasional simple anime dialogue. The hosts openly acknowledge that their improvised linguistic explanations may be wrong.Henrique Couto then begins a supposedly elite psychological evaluation assembled from some of the worst quizzes he can find. Questions about imagination, visible abdominal muscles, living arrangements, beach confidence and which actor should play Michelle produce a “sexy score” of 54 out of 100. Henrique invents a Harvard–Yale–Gambia medical collaboration to give the nonsense borrowed authority.The remaining quizzes declare that Michelle was God in a past life, will enter a relationship that never ends and is a risk-taking tomboy—even when her answers do not logically support any result. Typos, emojis, inadequate choices and abrupt endings become more revealing than the scores themselves. Contains skin-cancer concern and mole discussion, nudity and body-image questions, religion jokes, gender and relationship assumptions, profanity and repeated inserted social-casino advertisements.LinksEmail the hosts: [email protected]
