    Every hardcore and emo band photo from the mid-nineties to early 2000s where they’d all be doing this…

    I just love that the last 2 slides go beyond the punchline. 4 slides would have worked, for an ok joke, but the last two make it so much funnier to me XD

      Humor that continues to build upon the joke is kind of lost nowadays. It may not surprise you that Deathbulge’s creator is British.

      In the video, Jackson and the other dancers perform a lean that appears physically impossible.[17] The dancers lean forward 45 degrees with their backs straight and feet flat on the floor, and hold the pose before returning upright.[17] The lean moves the body’s center of mass further than it can support.[17] The illusion was achieved using cables and a harness.[18][19] In October 1993, Jackson’s team patented a method of performing the lean in concert using specially designed shoes that hook into pegs that rise from the stage.[17] Even with the shoes, the move requires good athletic core strength.[19]

      So you could do it in public without the apparatus, if you had the specially designed shoes and placed the hooks ahead of time. (and had good core strength)

      I’m a quite short woman (two standard deviations from average!💪🏻) and met this guy who was like considerably shorter than I am, had to have qualified as a little person, since I’m only a couple inches too tall to qualify myself, and he was quite attractive. I don’t generally find men aesthetically pleasing.

      You mean to tell me it’s just because I finally got a good angle???

      (Jk, he was an objectively attractive tiny king, with a personality to match)
