Japan's "Mundane Halloween" costume contest is back!

Each year website DailyPortalZ holds a contest where people dress up as something super duper ordinary.

Here's a thread of some of my favorites from the 2025 contest!

Jurassic Park, Titanic, the Wire, all of which I understand that I would love if I did watch!
Inspired by a post I just saw in which someone admitted they hadn’t seen a single episode of Friends nor the film Love Actually… what cultural hole do you have that’s a bit weird for your generation?

I’ll go first: I haven’t seen Dirty Dancing.

That was the most chaotic qualifying I have seen, I hope the race is just as messy
a woman says i love mess while talking to another woman
Alt: Marie Kondo says i love mess and gives a smile like something has sparked joy. That thing was probably not Ferrari blowing it yet again but who can say

With Tom Lehrer's passing, I suppose this is a moment to share the story of the prank he played on the National Security Agency, and how it went undiscovered for nearly 60 years.

All that rain delay and no safety car during the race is surprising and also very boring

I think these safety car investigations are for overtaking after the race is over? Which would be bs if they hand out penalties #f1

Warren is the ranking member on the Senate Banking Committee. Wyden is the same on the Senate Finance Committee. They need to go to the Treasury building with crews from CNN and NBC and demand to be let in. As soon as they're not, hold a press conference right there and explain what DOGE is doing.

My little brother and some of my friends both independently texted me once that "hey I think I just saw your brother/friends on top of the empire state building?" They did NOT take a picture and I'm still mad about it
An underrated feeling is when you meet someone, and you realize you have a mutual friend, so you take a picture together and send it to that friend with no context. What a rush!

@atvpodcast.bsky.social excellent episode I am glad you are back. before you decide whether to do a miniseries you should know that the predictably irrational guy is at the center of a major data faking scandal, and I hope this makes it more likely that you continue to dunk on the show!
