I made this with my kid in mind, so that they can have a good, safe place to look at memes, just made to make folks laugh and smile!
Only goofs & silliness. (:

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.
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.
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.
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.
