Unlike most people, I get my information from a vetted, trusted source.

"what layout would you like for your magazine?"
"Eeehhh... Just gimme the 'benadryl'"
- Reading it feels like I took a handful and started furiously sprinting to the bad side of town, you know, cause of the "implications".
Ohhh. Cyber!
Love that pink

Not bald Not obese enough No vest No sunglasses

Must be the 70s

I’m one hypnotic frenzied writing session away from a giant winding post about how magazines gave us curated, focused cross-sections of the world around us, and how we interacted with them before the dopamine reptile brain event horizon era. I really have a lot of thoughts on this.

I don’t know if this is real and I almost don’t want to

I used to go to work by public transport for many years before smartphones where a thing. Every day I want to the store in the train station and browsed / bought magazines. It was expensive but I miss it dearly.
I tried it again a few years ago but it's not the same. A lot of information is really available online. So I bought only niece magazines focused on medieval history or those cheap stories, everything else just wasn't intending any more.
Honestly, I don't even care if it's real. I just want a translation.

"Be the American the Japanese thinks you are"

Is this what .ml means when they say to find a trustworthy source?

Those fries are going to get cold!

Law and order the Muck bang division . These are their stories dong dong

This, btw, is the depiction of extreme obesity in Japan

I am slowly getting into sumo and am not so sure about this claim
- That's what peak performance looks like.
- Thats the professional obesisty

I see at least 3 different fast food chains in a single meal. Now that's dedication

What's the cup barely visible on the left? I'm wondering if that one explains the gigantic taco.
- You're right. At least 4.
  I see McDonald's, a&w, Carl's jr, and whatever that cup in the left is (no idea, but I don't recognize it as one of the other 3).

My wallet can taste this meal. That whole table of food was only $37.

Uh maybe like 5 bucks in 1987

Damn it.. Now I’m hungry…

What's the doubled-over ketchup/avocado waffle running along the left forearm

The McTaco 🤢
- My eyes are such that I can't tell if the script on that cardboard container is Tamil, Thai, AI, or something else.
  This is made more difficult by google search continuing to suck out loud and returning results that include nicknames for people and TikTok home recipe challenges instead of historical facts on international menu items.
  Even "verbatim" barely works anymore.
  Anyone know what other names the McTaco may have gone by in the past?
- They made tacos? Why? Fr cabt they Just keep doing burgers?
  Well The good thing Is them not existing but...
- Where dafuq do they sell this glorious monument to capitalist hubris?
Might be a chalupa of some kind

Uhh, is no one going to ask why this is like $18??

Closer to $12 at current exchange, and a cursory search suggests some popular magazines are 1500yen per issue, so doesn't actually seem that off.
- Man it has been ages since I had to exchange, I’m shocked at how different it is, although I have to remember it’s been bloody 12 years since I left 😱
  I’m old.

So we're not going to talk about the "wild mook" in the upper left?

Let's talk about it. I have absolutely no idea. Is this setting like "obvious plant"?

That's multitasking! You can't even see his boot on the throat of an immigrant underneath the table.

Multiple fountain drinks weren't enough so he called in the can of root beer for backup

Carl jr or macdonalds. Did they bring fries to Carl jr

Average Carl's Junior enjoyer
