Wear all the drat protection you can, and try to learn how to fall softly.

Also it absolutely warms my heart to see all the late teen girls rollerskating around my town in the absolute pinnacle of bootskate technology - the simple white classic.

There’s a looping ad at the little shop at our local rink for CRAZY SKATES, with all the CRAZIEST FEATURES…like…A TOE BRake…and…A HARD FOOT PLATFORM. It’s really funny, they’re just, like, skates. With skate features. Not even the cool under carriage glowy lights!

When they were planning this video the director asked for a cost estimate of building a set on a hydraulic floor so it could tilt and make everything slide around, and after they were told it would cost a quarter of a million pounds one of the crew said "why not just put it on wheels?"

So you've got the director shouting out "NORTH! NORTH! EAST! WEST! STOP! TURN!" over a megaphone to a dozen sweating stagehands as they push it around while Jay Kay dances and lipsyncs inside

Good dad. I have to ask though, I've seen a few people use S-tier to mean good. Why?

I assumed S was poo poo but people seem to use it to imply better than A?

quote:

'S' tier may stand for "Special", "Super", or the Japanese word for "Exemplary" (秀, shū), and originates from the widespread use in Japanese culture of an 'S' grade for advertising and academic grading.

It used to be a Twitch thing but has also spread to Youtube and elsewhere online since

S Tier is a thing in Japanese games, it's the highest possible grade, above A+.

I've always wondered how the creator of the Perry Bible Fellowship comic felt about his widest, most long lasting contribution to internet culture coming about via 4chan meme-ifying a random made up word from one of his strips and practically turning it into a slur, lol

(Apparently 4chan posters used to use the word "wapanese" to refer to "white Japanese" nerds all the time and the admins eventually added a word filter to swap it out for 'weeaboo', and it ended up spreading from there)

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

I have a theory that all horses have the same innate 'quantity' of pepperiness, so tiny horses are extremely peppery, while draft horses are extremely mild.

No, they are in fact very successful videogame franchises that happen to come from Japan. As a matter of fact, lots of your favourite videogames and video game consoles come from Japan. For instance: did you know that Nintendo is actually a Japanese company?

Their popularity is not limited to people obsessed with Japan.

Dunno my boomers were talking about furries putting litter boxes in schools and "sniper, what's etsy?" so it's possible they'll hear about weebs eventually, probably after it's fully archaic

I guess unfortunately they'll learn the word "weeb" as soon as it's used as part of a right wing disinformation campaign then

Oh no they're liberal-liberals. So weeb is probably way too old of a term to end up on the type of poo poo they watch, but too new & esoteric for them to organically know of it.
