Skate videos popularized the use of the fish eye lens. Music videos had people waving their hands around in the face of the camera because it looks cool through that lens. The idea was applied to still images, and this is the result.

I jumped in slow motion / off the curb.

Without a skateboard / that should look absurd!

But with my fisheye lens / hey, haven't ya heard?

I got the moves so smooth / to make ya mom say:

...those are some exceptionally smooth moves!

Is this a copy/paste of when this meme was psoted a few weeks ago? This comment really looks familiar...

[–] gastroglizzy@piefed.social 4 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

No. I typed it with my own thumbs, from my own mind.

Fair enough, then it's on me for being too lazy to find what I thought I was referring to.

I think this is the biggest reason. But who am I? I know nothing.
