Why did nips leave beverages by the building? Is this how they commemorate the dead?

Honestly, yes.

The building's such a sad sight, knowing what it looked like before.

The soul actually exists and weights 21 grams.
Those with stronger spiritual senses can use those beverages to quench their thirst.

>Also the fact that you can easily get one from a vending machine on the way.
This is the real reason. Theres a half drunken coca cola there, these are all probably fairly last minute offerings

That looks half drank already.

Americans send their regards.

The ghosts are still trapped in that perpetual hellfire. You'd think they could use a drink.

At least when a black guy pours out a forty, the rain washes it away. Basketball Americans unironically have a more clean and sensible offering system than the Japanese.

Who said he left it there half opened? Clearly the ghosts prefer coca cola so much they already drank half

Pretty sure it's a pseudo mahayana buddhist thing, you're giving their spirits (for lack of better term) a piece of your meal
Hence you'll also find small plates with samples of meals left at shrines
Then again, it's a japanese version of buddhism, so it's hard to know

Do only black people do that?

No he's just obsessed with the BBC

They do this with my favorite director's grave in Japan. I thought it was because he liked sake so people left him sake at his grave.

See

Like pouring out some beer for the homies

Why Japanese leave water bottles and soft drinks is due to Shinto and because they are strangers.

Immediately after a death (or, in earlier days, just before the expected death), relatives moisten the dying or deceased person's lips with water, a practice known as water of the last moment (末期の水 matsugo-no-mizu)

Symbolically, this last offering of water is the final chance to revive the corpse. Since the dead will no longer drink of the water of the living, this water is both an offering to the deceased and a guarantee that he is truly dead. In addition to providing hope (of revival) and proof (of death), this water is the first in a long series of offerings of food and drink made to the deceased in his new status as an ancestor.

Look up Matsugo no mizu.

These people are strangers so they can't actually wet the deceased lips but as a substitution, they leave water and soft drinks instead.

I thought that pouring a 40oz on your homie's grave was something that began with blacks and is generally associated with blacks. Maybe that's just MTV/Hollywood corrupting me though.

I thought leaving food and drink and flowers at memorials and graves was pretty common among a lot of cultures. I see it done at roadside crosses for hit and runs in Canada.

Pouring alcohol over a grave is a common thing all over the world.

Water and soft drinks near the scene of a tragedy is usually pretty Asian culture only while Westerners place flowers and balloons near the scene of a tragedy instead.

However, both Japanese and Westerners do have the practice of offering alcohol in front of graves

Hikkis gotta empty their houses sometime.

redditor faggot
but thanks user

Soldiers have poured glasses of alcohol for their fallen comrades for centuries. Even in ancient Rome, libations for the gods were performed before meals.

Do they have 40s in Japan?

Fascinating

Little do we know, this is actually a calling card from the Coca Cola Colombian death squad, who were the real perpetrators of the fire.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libation

No, you tend to look 25 for your entire life until you hit 65 and then you suddenly look 80.

It's not just a Japanese thing, it happens in other cultures as well.
In Mexico they leave tobacco, beer, wine, tequila, food, sweets and other stuff according to the deceased taste or last wishes.

I'd get the drinks and sell them or drink it, Im not a jap fag so i don't give a shit about their pagan customs

They are actually piss bottles left by neets who loved K-ON. 8 years old fermented neet pee is the greatest offering an otaku can give

>being this poor
I don't think they would even care, someone has to clean it up after all.

It doesn't sound like the profits per hour of carrying and cooling down bottles would be anywhere near minimum wage

Libations have been a thing for millennia

Some traditions have a thing where you "share".
Like drink half the bottle and pour the other half out for the dead.

Someone who knows their fallen comrade liked Coke.

I bet it was an otaku who thought it would be an indirect kiss.

I'd like to think:
Some autistic otaku who knows that one of the animators really liked cola, because they mentioned it once ten years ago.

Some guy told me japanese developed these techniques because in japan, after you die, you can only go to heaven if you still have your eyes.

I need to know if this is true.

I love writs of death for different cultures, it's honestly one of those things that I find to be super interesting.

Meanwhile, Japan has bottles that are full of liquid and not empty.

Maybe it was just some tourist who passed by and was thirsty, he probably thought "damn the japanese sure are nice leaving free drinks like that"

According to the Interwebs the water bottles are there to hold down drawings and other papers. This is up on a tall bridge so the wind is pretty bad.
The alcohol bottles and choco milk are obviously offerings though. The idea of leaving something personally meaningful exists here, and Etika was a memelord so there's a lot of random shit people found meaningful.

I have see various foreigners at the praying place there in the tv channels, and somebody left some flowers with the message "Pray for KyoAni" and at the bottom "KyoAni finds a way".

>not leaving something for the thirsty ghosts to drink.
How cural.
Honestly offering a drink to the dead goes back to Greek times in writing and likely earlier.
Also it’s normal to leave something they liked as a memorial. When kids die people leave teddy bears and stuff. Not because they believe the kid ghoat will play for them, just because they know the kid liked them

They did that in old Greek and Roman times

Who is this.

Because they poured all of it and left the drink there. Ghosts enjoy items that represent some sort of gesture or semblance.

You're a bit late with the water, Nips.

A patrician.

For Pete's sake everyone, it's NOT half empty. It's the reflection of the cloudy sky on the curved top half that makes it look that way.

It might be an offering, but there's a very good chance that a couple of those bottles are there because many Japanese believe that bottles like that scare away cats, especially at night, due to their shininess.
They're trying to protect that flower display above it. You'll see this occasionally if you travel throughout Japan.

That sounds like bullshit.
Shinto has way too many cripples (from various wars and injuries in fights since the Jomon legends) to have that sort of thing be part of their dogma of "purity" (unless they developed prosthetics for the dead in lieu of working eyes or whathaveyou in life, like how ancient Egyptians would put fake eyes and noses and sometimes replacement organs in mummies). And Buddhism wouldn't give a shit about that.

It’s true. Hell is full of blind faggots bumbling around in the hellfire.

Even heard that historical record gets controlled by those with the most dominance? We all learn one version of history in school or from family. It may not be the most complete or accurate version, merely some people's preferred version.
