What’s “rapo”?

It’s Candy Mountain, Charlie.

They can hire me for $1M to write some basic code that gives stock answers when someone says “Thank you”, instead of running it through the LLM. Think of the savings!

I’m worth the $1M because I’m clearly the only person to have ever thought of this. /s.

Fun fact: People abbreviate it “heli” or “copter”, when in fact the two parts of the word are “helico” and “pter”. (Think: helical or pterodactyl)

Try pronouncing it helico-pter, and pronounce the P and make it rhyme with “tare” as in pterodactyl. You’ll sound like you have a French accent, or something.

Yeah, it looks like you’re right. Not sure what I read years ago. This is what Wikipedia says:

Mikao Usui originated the practice in Japan. According to the inscription on his memorial stone, Usui taught his system of reiki to more than 2,000 people during his lifetime. While teaching reiki in Fukuyama, Usui suffered a stroke and died on 9 March 1926.

So, apparently before 1926. Still, really far away from “ancient”.

We need to start heavily downvoting censored memes. If it came that way, it’s OP’s obligation to uncensor it before posting.

Yes, it’s egg-fried rice.

Why did you spell that with a “(dot)” and then include an actual link? The reason people use (dot) or (at) is when they don’t want software to automatically see something as a link or an email address, and yet you intentionally added a link.

This is a dumb one, but I’ve watched ASMR reiki videos for stress-relief and at least one has said words like “Reiki is an ancient Japanese technique which blah blab blah” Yeah… It was made up in the 50’s 1910s by some dude.
