And it was a good time.
It was a…blast
The monster blast
That can mean a couple different things in Japan
At first I was like, “yeah who doesn’t remember that?” Then I realized that it was over 10 years ago and my heart sank a little… We getting old, homies.
The 90s were only ten years ago, right??
1990 is now as far back from today as 1955 was in 1990.
or as far ahead 2060 is today.
Cobain’s been dead longer than he was alive, etc.
Where it really hurts is the annouced NASA missions that caught my fancy as a young engineer were scheduled to give answers way too far in the future. Now most of them are done.
Growing old is mandatory. Growing up is optional. I still think this sort of photo is cute. There’s more cringe stuff from that era of the Internet, surely.
It’s funny to think this would actually be more difficult to pull off today because of all the algorithmic processing that smartphones do now to “de-blur” images.
Just get AI to add it back in.
Looks like one person on the right has bare feet, but I don’t see any shoes on the ground. Actually it’d be cool if a few people left a shoe or two behind when they jumped.
Also I’m continually amused by how much Japan likes to overcomplicate things. Instead of a sign saying “no littering”, they have one basically saying “at this park we don’t litter so please take your garbage instead of throwing it in the park”
That actually sounds like a better message in terms of effectiveness. It establishes a norm, “we don’t litter”, which makes people want to fit in by not littering.
You could just say “We Don’t Litter.”
I remember doing similar stuff in elementary school in the 90s. We totally actrd out Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat stuff; We just didn’t have cameras to share it online.
It was cringe then and is still cringe, just like anything else remotely related to anime and weebs.
Stop living your life for other people and you’ll have a lot more fun.
Hadouken is from Street Fighter and you are miserable
I think SF is pretty fucking anime, personally, but yes
I find it interesting that people who comment like this on harmless posts of people just having fun seem to tend to do so out of a fear of being considered cringe, yet it is this very response that makes them the cringe ones
Thinking a specific thing is cringe is ok, what ever, everyone gets an opinion. Though to throw it at an entire medium and those who sometimes go a bit overboard liking a different culture?
That’s … just sad. Really, really sad. Learn more about the world, for your own good.
It’s harmless and they’re having fun. Leave them alone.
What weeb hurt you?
Hey, did you know that it’s ok to like things? That it’s also ok if people like things that you don’t?
Just figured you could use some perspective.
are you okay fam? how’re things?
In Japan, anime is called animation and weebs are called people.
