Has anyone ever commented on Kami's strength by sensing it? Because in Super it's made clear that only deities can sense the power of another deity, and Dende is regarded as a deity since he's guardian of the Earth.

I can't remember it ever happening. Kami was never strong enough so that they would need to comment, and he was never hiding either.
Kami was one of (if not the) strongest character when he was introduced. I don't remember if it was commented on, but it definitely wouldn't be impossible.
Shin, though, is a different story. Piccolo could definitely tell he was stronger than him.

Piccolo's deity/not deity status in the Buu arc is murky, however, due to the fact that he merged with God. In the same arc that he senses Kaioshin's power, he also exposits to Vegeta about the nature of the afterlife's reincarnation system.
He is no longer actively serving the role of Earth's God, but it's never really established whether he's still technically considered divine.

Dende was able to mildly sense Beerus's strength in the BOG arc in Super, right? At least enough to feel a sense of unease that he couldn't initially place?
I have a message from another time...
Same feeling when I watched that Goku vs Freeza Presidential Debate.
Also for anyone who watches Flip Flappers, what's up with the joke when the orange-haired one tells the blue-haired one that she can talk to the "female villains?"
...is... is that like a thing with them? Some kind of in-joke?

I'm sorry Tien, but I must go all out.
Enough that when Piccolo asked him about it, he was able to confirm the presence of a god. I guess even the lowest tier gods have some modicum of Godly Ki, which makes me think that maybe Goku should've accepted Kami's offer back at the end of the 23rd Tenkaichi Budokai. Godly Ki's a pretty dank thing to possess, even if it's just a tiny bit.

Wouldn't that have just given him Super Saiyan Rosé instead of Blue by this point though?

Maybe. Maybe he would've had one of the two way sooner than in canon.
I don't think it is an in-joke. If it is, it's one I don't get. Most of the villains in their series are female, but there's no particular trend about who gets to talk to who.

No one could sense ki back then. Only Goku and Piccolo could and they had no need to comment on. Not to mention Kami was disguised most of the time, anyway.
I honestly don't think Kami's ki was ever commented on. Saying people actually never sensed it is a well done retcon, as I don't think it contradicts anything from before.
Actually, Tenshinhan could sense ki - he comments on Piccolo Daimao's ki when he fights the post-water Goku.
It's also possible that the fighters in the 22nd Budokai can sense ki, or that Goku could sense it back in the first arc - the way they comment on it isn't the same as the Daimao arc forward, but that's probably more because the concept hadn't been fully developed by Toriyama yet.
Unreasonably Quirky
So if they're beligerent assholes to everybody, it's okay?To each other, rather.
I love to learn, I love to yearn, and most of all... I love to make money.

Absolutely. When they're exclusively shitbags to each other but swell with everyone else they interact with, that's not sweet or sappy or a sign of a healthy relationship. It is, in fact, a profound argument for why these two people should not be together. Because they hate each other's guts.
If they're shitbags to everyone, on the other hand, then that just means they're awful, awful people. And they deserve each other.
Bulma once enslaved a sentient being and forced him to help her abuse world-shattering cosmic powers to try and get a boyfriend. She and Vegeta are a fantastic couple.

Is it "Cell vs Hercule, because it's the next episode and the Cell Games are starting?"
That or Sailor Moon?

I ain't believing Kaiser after he said "No we're not doing Saitama"
To be fair I recall him phrasing that as a question.
I'M MR. MEESEEKS, LOOK AT ME!
i still refuse to believe him.
His response was do you think we'd put in that much effort. So no he didn't lie about Saitama. Pretty sure this is just gonna be the episode though.
That one was a bit jarring. I'm so used to hearing Takahata 101's voice for Perfect Cell.
