@tomie Hmm, I wouldn't really bow unless you're in East Asia or you're at a super formal function meeting a super respected person.
@tomie With the way I am interpreting "objectively", bowing. Equally as arbitrary but I do not have to touch anyone
@tomie Asians only do bows for greetings because they are extremely germophobic.
@tomie objectively, a bow. I tend to give handshakes if it's formal. I'll bow my head or give a small salute informally though.
@beardalaxy speaking of, another cool way was tipping of a hat but it naturally went away with hats
and I've heard that saluting without a hat on is frowned at least in some countries
@tomie i'm not sure how it would go in other places, but it's not much of what comes to mind when you think of a salute really either.
hard to explain with text but i basically put my index and middle finger around my eye/temple and then flick it forward in a saluting motion. "salute" is just the closest i can think of in a single word lol.
i have no idea where i picked this up.
@beardalaxy definitely anime
@tomie wait does kakashi do it
@tomie i can't find video of him doing it specifically lol but you're probably right xD
@tomie
I would say, that it depends, if you're a sub or an equal.
