Regarding prev: it's kinda hard to look past your own assumptions of how world works and especially that it, you know, haven't always worked like today. Even if in broad strokes we can kinda imagine that clothes, homes and probably food looked and tasted differently, we can barely imagine how exactly details of everyday life were different. And so we are not that far off from fellas (I don't remember time and so I won't even try to guess because I suck at history) who painted biblical scenes while clothing every person in what they themselves persived as modern clothes.
Also it very much goes for different cultures. Like, I and I assume most of us are used to two set of numbers: roman (I, II, III, IV etc) and arabic (1, 2, 3, 4 etc). But there's like most of the world that used different numeric systems. I know some basics of how to do math with arabic numbers, i have no idea how to do math with roman numbers, but since my comfort fandom takes place specifically in ancient china (fantasy version but in-text there was specifically pointed out that they use traditional chinese script and so modern chinese transmigrator couldn't understand shit about what was written), so.... How the fuck do you go about math when you can't use + because it's a character for 10 and character for 0 looks so much out of place with the other ones that it may as well be added retroactively?
...yeah so apparently that was a journey. Long one, including several mathematical systems developed during centuries and several scripts.
(yes some of these overlap and some are suppositions. for example if parchment is always used for ephemera, rough drafts, notes, and never re-used or re-purposed, we can also assume that the author is unaware of wax tablets as a concept)
There are three types of dungeon meshi posts in my experience.
One: Senshi says to eat a healthy diet and get moderate exercise in order to live longer!! ( •̀ ᴗ •́ )و!!! Thank you Senshi!
Two: This character is gay and autistic. Which character? Doesn't matter. It's all of them.
Three: So if you consider the implications of this bit of lore from the back of a napkin dug out of Kui's trash, you'll see how the political weight of access to food ties the series' depiction of racism into the themes of consumption and coexistence within an ecosystem—
I mean, they don't question much usually. There's murder clown on his way, guy who noclipped into the hungry building and magic pair of dice, plus a lot more of similarly weird and horrible stuff that needs categorization.
In contrast with that, they have just slightly paranormal computer who speaks with intonation and doesn't boil your brains on listening, and it's not that bad. No reason to be scared or overly concerned.
It's so funny how Jonny doesn't sound all that computer-ish when speaking as Chester and the OIAR gang just doesn't really question why the computer speaks with a full range of emotions like a regular human person.
