A weapon to surpass Metal Gear

A weapon to surpass Metal Gear

Watch it in reverse.

Watch it in reverse.

I feel like I'm watching Twin Peaks again.

[Flying Dice]

That's enough internet for today, I think. If I wanted to hear Satan I'd go play records backwards.

[martinuzz]

Part of that backwards babble of Adan Savage sounded just like Sims babble. I suddenly wonder how Sims (2? 3?) speech sounds when played in reverse

[Greiger]

Welp.  Stuff like this is why he is my favorite mythbuster.  (Those new guys seem to be doing pretty good, but they are still in their trial period with me)

[Sirus]

New guys? You mean Mythbusters is back on the air? 

[scourge728]

Yes, but with some new hosts

[Sirus]

Hey, as long as they're still testing various myths and urban legends, I'm all for it.

So what do J-Pop idol groups, french maid outfits, Mexican wrestling masks and crypto-currencies all have in common. This:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

If you prefer your J-pop bands to be a little bit more blockchain-y, we’ve got some great news! A new J-pop girl group from Japan is capitalizing on the recent hype surrounding bitcoin and singing about cryptocurrencies, as spotted by Quartz.

The group’s name is Kasotsuka Shojo, which translates as Virtual Currency Girls. Each one of the eight members represents a different cryptocurrency, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ripple, and Cardano. The women are outfitted in maid dresses and lucha libre-style masks that denote the currency they represent.

Kasotsuka Shojo’s debut single is called “The Moon and Virtual Currencies and Me” and is a blistering electro-pop song that warns listeners to be aware of fraud and to maintain their security online.

Yeah ... and they sing songs about cybersecurity.

Japan, just when you think it can't get any weirder.

[wierd]

Oh no, Japan is its own thing. It makes no sense at all to try to frame it in relation to other cultural regions. 

[heydude6]

You know, I have to say that it makes me very happy that there are nations out there whose cultural sensibilities are a bit wacky compared to ours. When I look at my country of origin Ukraine, I can only feel a sense of loss following its near complete americanization. The only unique thing we really have left is borscht.

[wierd]

You know.. the luchadore masks makes me wonder what my hispanic coworker will think about this jpop group.  She has a rather sheltered view of the world, and japan is the least of her concerns, so she has no clue for the most part about the strangeness of the place.  I am thinking I need to ask what she thinks of that picture.

Edit:  Her reaction

"I dont care, those crazy people can do whatever. You can go, but I dont care."

That was after assuring her that those were indeed girls in the french maid outfits.

Hey, varieniki are nice as well.
