I've never seen this but it feels at least 10 years old

Yeah, it has real 'Early 00s ~~Smartphone~~ Cameraphone' vibes

[–] tostiman@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 month ago (4 children)

There were no smartphones in the early 2000s though.

This dude’s never heard of Symbian or Blackberry I guess. Or Sony Ericsson and Nokia N*** phones.

I left Japan in 2008. Phones had had cameras long enough that the makers had to add the can't-turn-it-off shutter sound because so many chikan were taking upskirt photos on public transport.

Less salaciously, there was also panic about people taking pictures of magazine articles in bookstores and then not buying the magazine. Not sure anyone really would have tried to read an article on those tiny screens, though.

There were plenty low quality digital point and shoot cameras though.

I've never seen this specific photo, but it absolutely was popular ~2010.

Tubas and trombones were popular choices among band students

In Japan, it's rather old and I haven't seen anyone doing it lately (though I admittedly barely touch any SNS, though watching my wife browse insta, I've never seen it).

This was the best thing I'd seen all day, until I saw this:

I was there Gandalf, I was there three thousand years ago...

Darkness took me and I strayed away through thought and time. Stars wheeled overhead and every meme was as long as a life age of the earth...

Fake, she's not even blowing on it.

[–] mosiacmango@lemm.ee 13 points 1 month ago

Shes using an advanced technique common in bass instruments known as "slapping."

[–] Godnroc@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

I need a dramatic close up on a bystander who gasps in surprise before announcing "She's not even blowing into it!" followed by the close up of the shooter saying "That's right, I have gone BEYOND the need to blow into my instrument of destruction!"

Is this the next Hibiki Euphonium series?

Way better than the fad of throwing jugs of milk in grocery stores.

We had this in the west as well when I was a kid. It was called fus-ro-dahing or something.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 5 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

We had hadokens before Morrowind, let alone Skyrim, when I was a kid. Street Fighter was pretty popular.

Oh god, skyrim is 14 years old

You’re goddamn right.

I prefer "How do you do, Ken?"-ing and "Sorry you Ken!"-ing...
