    Eight in Japanese is 八 which looks similar to katakana “ha” ハ and has the readings ハチ(hachi) ハツ(hatsu) や(ya) よう(you) Dates are usually written as 8月8日(8th month 8th day) though and the only onomatopoeia for stomach growling I can find is ごろごろ (gorogoro). Am I too stupid to get this? I can’t see how the date 8/8 resembles the noise of a rumbling stomach

      I guess in katakana “gorogoro” would be ゴロゴロ, which when written vertically in two lines would look vaguely like 8/8? Just guessing…

      If i had to guess, what they’re most likely refering to isn’t onomatopoeia, but it’s pronunciation. Vore in Japanese is 「丸呑み」(swallow whole) which is pronounced as まるのみ and sounds like 「丸のみ」(only circles) .

      Using this as a rule for the date, the digits must be composed of only circles, i.e. either 0 or 8. This leaves only 8月8日 which fits the criteria.

    Should be 8/10… Eight-ten. Eaten.

    But then Euro, American and Asian perverts would argue over if the 8 is the month or the day

    I used to talk to a guy on IRC who was like one step above homeless, but he didn’t want to get a real job, so he barely scraped by writing vore erotica on commission. If he wasn’t such an asshole, I’d try to find out what happened to him and if he’s still doing it because I know rule 34 and all, but are there more than like, I don’t know, two people who are willing to pay some guy to write vore erotica for them on commission?

      It’s like Rome right before the fall of empire over there. Except the empire has been falling for 12 years now.

      It’s getting weird(er).
