Looks like the camera got drunk as well.

one year ago

It looks like it was taken by a Minolta in 1997.

[-] [email protected] 10 points 3 months ago

Obviously, this means that this was tweeted in 1998, simple

[-] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

I'm thinking it has that polaroid vibe.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

How can you tell what make?

[-] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago

Minoltas were always drunk

[-] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

Now I'm even more confused!

[-] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

I can't. It's a joke.

It looks like all the print photos I remember from the 1990s. Back then, my grandfather always walked around with a pocket Minolta 35mm camera. I loved playing with the sliding shutter guard.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

I bet that was a good camera then! Might it have been the lens protector rather than shutter guard?

[-] [email protected] 24 points 3 months ago

That's what pictures from the past look like.

I was in the past (almost one year ago). This is how the world looked back then.

This only works if you are extremely attractive btw

Maybe but Japanese people are super friendly.

I got lost in a random Tokyo neighborhood and a random guy came out, tapped my dude shoulders and showed my ugly ass where my Airbnb was. This was after the Uber driver walked me 1.5 blocks (leaving his car engine on with the keys inside) to show me where he thought it was. I went to a bar and the bartender snuck a umbrella in my arm when it rained, and told me if I got lost, to call him. And a random person, realizing I was born stupid, help me use a washing machine.

Amazing amazing humans in Japan.

It's true. Once, when I was visiting Kyoto, I actually forgot how to eat, and a kind elderly man held me and tenderly bottle-fed me. I didn't even ask him to.

Was out of potato baby phase, can confirm.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

...would it work if you were a worm? Asking for a friend.

[-] [email protected] 27 points 3 months ago

It feels like everyone has a story like this. I visited Osaka this one time and I was couldn't open the package that my lunch was in. This very ordinary looking salaryman approached me and without saying a word took, the package from me, ate it whole, then vomited it directly down my throat as an easily-digestible slurry fortified with immunity-boosting enzymes and developmentally-critical animo acids. He literally wouldn't stop.

How do you know? Did you go to Okinawa and try it?

[-] [email protected] 26 points 3 months ago

He is the control group lmao

[-] [email protected] 12 points 3 months ago

As an unattractive person I find this terminology comfortable.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

You caught me, I guess it really depends on context

[-] [email protected] 15 points 3 months ago

No one caught you. You need to throw out some words like halo effect and then a research paper about how attractive people get ahead in life more easily. Plus you don't need to be in Okinawa because you are making a general statement about how societies function. Don't give up! <3

I thought that was Marge Simpson.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

Morticia Simpson.
Marge Adams?

[-] [email protected] 26 points 3 months ago

Ok, but this has got to be a core cherished memory forever.

Nice, wholesome, like a life lived.

[-] [email protected] 29 points 3 months ago

Oh now don't start that again!

[-] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

A light shade of Payne's gray, I think.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

I see French grey (kidding)

[-] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Looks a little more silkwort grey imo

[-] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

Now I'm interested. I see blue

[-] [email protected] 18 points 3 months ago

He looks undecided if he should be happy or pissed off.
