  Example: don’t know much about Japan other than they use chopsticks and get their food by conveyor belt in restaurants. That I do know.

    I believe the conveyor belt restaurants are fading out at least partially due to some asshole teen recording themselves drooling on a plate and putting it back on the belt.

      No, that's not the case at all. Conveyor-belt sushi restaurants are still quite popular. What's different, however, is that (at least in the ones I've been to over the last year or so) they no longer put food onto the always-running conveyor. Let me explain: a modern restaurant like "Sushiro" isn't just an old-style conveyor-belt sushi place: pre-pandemic, they had 2 belts. The lower belt just had ready-made sushi and you just grabbed whatever you wanted from the belt. The color of the plate told you (and the server at the end) its price. The upper belt, however, was used for direct-to-table ordering using the tablet computer at your seat. So you could order other things: soups, desserts, fresh sushi because you wanted it fresher than the stuff that's been sitting on the lower conveyor, etc. You'd order what you want on the computer, they'd make it and put it on the upper conveyor, and it would go straight to your seat (with a little "exit ramp" where you can pick it up). Now, they seem to have completely abandoned the lower conveyor, and you just have to order everything you want with the computer. I think it was going this way anyway (because why take something that's been sitting out when you can order something), and that incident just sped things along.

  Sushi is a popular Japanese food item, and a sushi belt is also a type of approach to playing Factorio.
