The word for "bread" in japanese is pronounced "pan."
The word for "bread" in many Romance languages is also "pan."

Is this a coincidence? Loanwords shouldn't normally happen at that far a distance, especially in a country as isolationist as Japan used to be, but it don't think it's likely that they should just happen to be pronounced the same way.

Before European brought it, there was no bread in Japan. Is this a coincidence?

And PANties are called PANtsu.

Is this a coincidence? Could it be that the Japanese invented PANtsu and the filthy gaijins stole the idea and changed the name a bit?

Sushi in Japanese and English mean the same thing. How is this possible? Japan and America are so far apart.

It was from Portuguese.

What I'm more interested in is how the Greek letter psi is shaped pretty much exactly like a sai.

Almost all languages have roots in ancient African including Latin (and its branch offs) and Chinese/Japanese.

For example look up the proper etymology (as in no white man propraganda) of the "desu".

I was under the impression that if you aren't lazy and work off the bread somehow, it's a pretty good source of energy.

It was weak, but as you got some responses, you've succeeded.

if by "pretty good" you mean empty calories with antinutrients that will destroy your digestive system

there is nothing beneficial in bread that you cannot get from a better source and without the ill effects. you may be healthy even when eating bread, but you are healthy despite eating it not healthy because of it

It came from the portuguese word "pão" like "pinku" came from "pink", what the hell is this thread even about

Nowadays bread is a perfect source of energy, though you should stick to whole-grain if you aren't that active. The discovery of who to make bread was probably the most important in mankind's history, and bread was often referred to as the staff of life.

Most likely irrelevant, given that ψ is normally pronounced "p-see", and only English speakers call it "sai".

bread was so praised because it was easy to mass-produced and could be consumed. not because it was a miraculous super-food. whole grain isn't much better, the only real safe breads are breads that are made from sprouted grains

in fact, that's how they used to make bread. they don't anymore.

Bread is the base of my alimentation, I wouldn't survive without it.

also that it preserves. and yes it would have been considered a super food throughout history for those 2 reasons alone.

Nowadays its on par with any grain as being an important part of any diet. health nuts will stick to OAAETZ for their carbs, women on gimmecky diets will drop carbs all together in an attempt to lose weight without any sort of work, and fat lazy people will continue to get diabetes from eating to much. Such is the circle of life.
