Seems legit to me. I found a 2017 Twitter post with this in it.

For years, mine was this gif I saw on UsVsTh3m in 2013. It had no context, and the only hint to its origin was the barely legible “29. 暑〜い!” overlay. I had a guess that this was from a Japanese TV talent show. I wanted to find the original video, but the trail went cold.

Years later, I don’t know how, I heard of a series of Japanese TV specials called Kesou Taishou, known overseas as Masquerade. UsVsTh3m got bought by the Mirror and their post was taken down, but I still had the gif. My Google Translate research skills had improved, so I looked up Masquerade on Japanese Wikipedia and searched all the episode guides for 暑〜い!, and in the shows from 2007, I found it! It was entry 29 in the 78th special, and it won third place there.

I try not to post things that don’t have a legal source, so I quietly updated my blog post and didn’t mention it anywhere else. Until…

Three months ago, my partner started getting YouTube recommendations for this show. I checked, and the show’s new official YouTube channel had just uploaded this performance a few days earlier. I made a better gif of it and posted it to !gifs@lemmy.world , and they liked it!

Holy crap, that sucks! Why can’t those scrapers just scrape each other? I’m sorry, I didn’t want to pressure you to open up to that kind of abuse. I want to think of ways to help this situation, but you’re probably 10 steps ahead of me. Thank you for trying so hard.

5.71MB is plenty generous. I’d give up 5MB of that if we could have anonymous browsing again. I can’t recommend Mbin to people if they have to log in to see anything. Would converting all uploads to WebP lighten the load?

I’m on @jerry@infosec.exchange 's cursed Mbin instance, and I can upload GIFs as images. The upload filesize limit here is 6,000,000 bytes with the drawback that I can’t upload in better formats like MP4 or WebP.

Have vision-impaired users of Lemmy settled on an app or a front-end to use? I’m an Mbin user, so I don’t get to mess with those apps very much.

Thank you; this is good feedback. Mbin pulled my alt text from my other recent post of this artwork, so it lost where I said this is Summer heat by Wenjun Lin. Sorry about that!

It took me a little bit to understand this surreal scene, and then to look up the two main characters’ names and where they’re from. In his descriptions, the artist was mostly concerned with telling us this is a crossover between his own characters and a Tencent mascot. I didn’t actually describe them very much, since the real draw here is the strange free-standing block of water with fish inside, and then Little Song swimming even though she isn’t visibly in the water herself. Maybe I should describe the situation first, and then the characters in it.

Yes, chocolate, for its caffeine content. The darker, the better.

At the moment, it’s Maya’s theme from Killer Instinct 2013. It’s an 8-minute long banger and I never get tired of it. But, my absolute favorite track changes every time I think about it.

Edit: Yup, I just remembered Nobuo Uematsu’s Final Destination theme and holy crap! Now that’s my absolute favorite.

I first read “Xian” as “fan of Xi Jinping”, and then this comment would have made sense. But no, Joe Rogan claims to have become a Christian.

Here’s the final round. Honestly, the robots did better than I expected. This is fun, but I think we’re 5-10 years away from CCP giving these robots guns and deploying them against humans.

I saw somewhere on her Telegram that the show is 7-10 minutes long, plus 20 minutes of interactive bubble activities. It’s only $185 USD, but that’s assuming she can get to you from Kaliningrad, Russia.

The bullet of justice caps evil’s ass!

They can’t all be spectra.video or lethallava.land . We need a Lemmy instance with some real market research money going into the domain.

I send people links to Photon to show people how nice everything is here. Concise, typeable URLs help where possible.

• To recommend Lemmy in general: phtn.app
• When linking a thread: https://phtn.app/post/lemm.ee/63146216
• When linking a community: https://phtn.app/c/fediverse@lemmy.world or https://photon.lemmy.world/c/fediverse
• When recommending an instance: the instance’s Photon front end like phtn.lemmy.blahaj.zone or p.feddit.uk

That sounds cool, but it’s broken for me. The Reddit login page gives me a 500 server error. I want to point my old subreddit at my Mbin magazine, but it seems to require logging in with Reddit to do much of anything.

My first thought is that someone else brought the two of us here to kill us. They already got this stranger, and they’re coming back to kill me too.

So, I’d quietly gather some survival supplies and sneak out of the house. Once I can hide far enough away from the house, I’d find a phone and call the police.

It doesn’t even cross my mind that I could be the killer until someone accuses me of it. I’ve never met that person, so why would I even lay a finger on them? I’d just tell people what I know as accurately as I can. No, I don’t know how I got there, honest!

Heck yeah! I’ve been trying to replicate /r/FloatingIsFun’s post flairs for years on !FloatingIsFun@fedia.io . PieFed makes everything look better. I hope Lemmy and Mbin add these post flairs too. Mbin tags get halfway there but it’s not the same.

In this case, those three crossed party lines and voted to stop the tariffs. Still, being GOP Senators, they almost certainly betrayed the American people for their orange dictator wannabe in the past. So shame them anyway.
