This has been featured around the Innernet recently, so why not here? Personally, my biggest skepticism is that I suspect it actually needs a mix of dark soy sauce and a much lighter sauce that floats on top?

I dunno though, maybe the 'trenches' are so deep that it works with simple soy sauce? Pretty dang clever, either way.

So it really just works with nothing but soy sauce..?

[-] orbituary@lemmy.dbzer0.com 58 points 3 weeks ago

Yes. I'm not sure why this is hard to understand. The deeper areas are darker because they hold more sauce.

Sorry. Didn't realize I had to be a major genius. /s

Deeper areas are darker? Oh yeah, then explain why a flat swimming pool has dark patterns on the bottom! Checkmate, translucency believers. /s

A flat swimming pool wouldn't hold any water, you're thinking of a parking lot

[-] Munkisquisher@lemmy.nz 15 points 3 weeks ago

Instructions unclear, parking lot is now full of soy sauce

How can you tell? Did a shrine or cat appear?

Redundant. All shrines are for cats.

It would work with piss too

Soy sauce would work like an ink. Here's a picture of watercolour inks, each column is one ink, with each row representing how much ink is soaked in.

Can you recommend which is tastiest?

Unburnt kikkoman

Yeap, as someone who's done his share of watercolor art, I do grasp the concept. Any doubts I had were related to a level of skepticism about the depths of the trenches.
