A stone tablet in Aneyoshi, Japan, warns residents not to build homes below it.
Hundreds of these so-called tsunami stones, some more than six centuries old, dot the coast of Japan.

The people in Aneyoshi apparently actually followed the good advice, and they didn't get wiped out by the tsunami.

Seems like a lot of people thought they could beat nature, but nature has a way of defying expectations. Yes, build up on the hills a hundred feet or so, it's not that hard.

The thing that buttfucked Fukushima was the 15m wave hitting it and not the quake itself. It was setup with a wall made for a 6m wave. Due to idiotic design decisions, all the backups were swamped and cooling was pretty much nil. In comparison, Fukushima II's design enabled it to recover and resume properly cooling in a few days after getting hit by the same big fucking wave that Fukushima I got hit by.

>Unless it has cute girls with silly hats we dont give a shit.

Then think of a particular tsunami stone as a minor deity in form of a cute little girl, bound to the stone that serves as her yorishiro and fated to stand there for eternity so that she can warn villagers against building houses on the low ground. She'd be much like Noh of /tg/ fame, except instead of "Please do not take those items" she would tell you not to go below her spot because it is dangerous, wordlessly consenting to any other action if it means her task can be accomplished. Eventually, you'd see her raped by a bunch of village children, crying as she repeatedly asks if they will listen to her if she does this. Of course, no /jp/ resident worth his salt would allow a cute girl to be defiled like this (unless he's the one doing the defiling), so after shooing off the kids, you'd decide to become her guardian and companion.

After setting up a small hut near her stone and starting the construction of a shrine for her (both to ensure proper respect to her as a deity and give her a place to stay, as she's unwilling or unable to accompany you to your house) you'd start visiting her daily, soon noticing that she has no way to protect herself against the elements and starting to bring an umbrella for her during harsh weather, standing under the rain or snow together and silently watching the countryside. Once in a while, you'd see her crying by herself and try to console her, only to be faced with the generic "Don't go below this point, a tsunami hit there at those previous dates" response. But after days of protecting her against irreverent villagers and acting as her sole companion, she'd eventually open up to you, telling you how she was sacrificed as a hitobashira of sorts when the tsunami stone was erected and how she decided to shut away her mind after centuries of abuse, becoming little more than the tsunami warner she was intended to be.

Guided by your well-honed VN-playing instincts, you'd know this is your clue to hug her and tell her that you'll be there to protect her, but she'd only start to cry harder, telling you that as a mortal, you'll pass on in a few decades and her previous life of repeated abuse will return. But now armed with knowledge of the necessary rituals to bind a human soul to a structure, a plan would be forming in your mind, so you'd promise her that you'll find a way to be with her forever and part with her for the day. Needless to say, you'd order a second tsunami stone to be made, complete the shrine that will act as your home from then onwards, and despite the tsunami stone girl's pleas to give up on her (she knows how painful such a life can be, after all), enact the sacrifice ritual with the help of a few other /jp/ residents, permanently binding your soul to the new tsunami stone and gaining the ability to be together with her for eternity. As deities tend to be capable of taking whichever form they please, you could also use this opportunity to become the little girl, with or without a penis.

You'd then become a couple, with her completely devoting herself to you and even apologizing repeatedly during your first night together because she's been raped countless times and is not a virgin. In addition, the villagers would be unaware that you're now a minor deity like her, so you'd use this opportunity to pose as the head priest (or priestess) of the newly completed temple, gradually improving your lover's standing amongst the village as her clergy. You'd then give way to the new priest of your temple, remove yourself from mortal affairs and start to live peacefully with your wife as a happy couple, spending your days enjoying simple pleasures like sleeping on her lap while she pats your head or teaching her how to play video games and laughing at her initial confusion.

I don't know how to properly express my gratitude for your posting. It always brightens my day just a little to hear you talk about the strangest bug in the most moe manner possible. (Or a tsunami stone, as it were.)

Thank you for being awesome, I guess.

>It was built directly over a geological fault line, and is located near a second fault.[1][2][3][4][5]
I am a nuclear power advocate, and this shit ain't helping.
>Diablo Canyon was originally designed to withstand a 6.75 magnitude earthquake from four faults, including the nearby San Andreas and Hosgri faults,[6] but was later upgraded to withstand a 7.5 magnitude quake.[7] It has seismic monitoring and safety systems, designed to shut it down promptly in the event of significant ground motion.
I am slightly reassured, but even if there's a massive disaster that devastates san fransisco you just know the media's going to concentrate on the plant anyway
>Starting October 22, 2008, Unit 2 was taken offline for approximately two days due to a rapid influx of jellyfish at the intake.[18]
This is hilarious
>The Nuclear Regulatory Commission's estimate of the risk each year of an earthquake intense enough to cause core damage to the reactor at Diablo Canyon was 1 in 23,810, according to an NRC study published in August 2010.[19][20] In April 2011, in the wake of the Fukushima nuclear disaster in Japan, PG&E asked the NRC not to issue license renewals until PG&E can complete new seismic studies, which are expected to take at least three years.[21][22]
I am now reassured, since they're doing something about it. Shouldn't have been built there in the first place though.

It's so that when the core of the earth stops spinning they can drop the reactors into the center of the earth through the fault line to restart it.
