I can't stop listening to this. https://t.co/4DQ2xX4OGk
YouTube copy.https://t.co/UM9nvswQXH
It's from a commercial.https://t.co/4A6vgxFE4a
Here's a 1 minute version of the commercial.https://t.co/GBNQsDcIas
There's a weird skit tied this where some guy seems to be having trouble ordering toast(?)https://t.co/wVTz920LMc
Another smaller cliphttps://t.co/l3CAYPSPdn
I think this is the full songhttps://t.co/OVgR7ql9Hs
The mouse character dancing is apparently a CGI version of a touhou character.https://t.co/3bOHZHB9S8
There's a 20 minute long one that is labeled as "フルVer" which I think means it's the full version. It has a bunch of other commercials I couldn't find as standalone."日本廣告" may translate roughly "Japanese advertising" according to google.https://t.co/HWcz0BMkDo
乃木坂46 is the music group "Nogizaka 46"You may have heard them before.https://t.co/J2FLjVTQ7X
They are apparently known for the opening theme to some of the "Naruto Shippuden" shows.Believe it! 👍https://t.co/Xv2DjTLwOT
It seems @mouse_computer is some kind of boutique computer shop targeting creative professionals in japan. They showcase a lot of computer graphics tools (+VTuber content) up on YouTube. This one looked cool.https://t.co/rXxLlFDUsi
Found some of the clips from the video.ナズリンはとてもかわいいキャラクターです！https://t.co/li1dYiOR0D
I don't know if @esukevi has more videos somewhere. But their art is amazingly cute.https://t.co/iGpqULVOB6

"I subbed it and cut it down to just the dialog parts"https://t.co/DRKdVQeBg5
It looks like there may be two different characters in the original video. One is the Nazrin one from Touhou, and the other is "NYN姉貴"Some kind of Alternate Universe OC / parody thing tied to the fandom?https://t.co/TTw1WcCaPe https://t.co/LnMTPtuxzm
"Cookie☆ / クッキー☆""Subculture Part of a series on Touhou Project (東方Project)"https://t.co/lbiGsIaYFNHuh.
Reminds me of how there was a break from MLP when the fan driven fighting game had to be re-made with alternate characters.https://t.co/sApZPcOfl8Fun to to think about these characters under the lens of mythic reinterpretations of a culture's beloved egregore.
I wonder if 10,000 years from now, if memes like this will be dug up. People will muse about the cults who congregated around them to worship and map out which version of the egregore was a doppelganger of Taweret.https://t.co/dPCwJsz9sY https://t.co/AYk7JUdTZD
Looking this up, I wasn't expecting it to go even further back with Pedobear himself being a lineage based on a bear emoji.ʕ ᵒ ᴥ ᵒʔRef: "INTERNET MEMES AND THEIRSIGNIFICANCE FOR MYTH STUDIES" Dissertation by Mgr. Pavel Gončarovhttps://t.co/u9ol22Zw1p https://t.co/yjlZTGouwg

Thinking about mousu~ and I realize that what I saw in my minds eye was the pendulum around NYN's neck. And a cat that stalked her.A wild mouse indeed.https://t.co/dgEKsHKrm5
It seems I need to learn how to use a pendulum.https://t.co/pXBLe3Hhps
@pup_god Neo: So are you saying I can actually use a pendulum to dowse for gold by leveraging synesthetic experiences to induce distortions in my mental map of an envirionment?Morphious: No, neo. I'm saying when you are ready, you won't have to.https://t.co/MD2PTTBLCI
What of 4D pendulums?https://t.co/mGRi6hEENw
Neat, a paper uses the pendulum synchronization idea to sync a swarm of clocks and even calls it "huygens" in reference to Christiaan Huygen's observation."Exploiting a Natural Network Effect for Scalable, Fine-grained Clock Synchronization"https://t.co/JasLZGkLc1
Am I scrying for more information about covid, or is my brain thinking of something else.https://t.co/pEUgvquay9

Like how when you get a lung infection, you get a fever. The fever is a signal. https://t.co/qY61vu40ui
@ballofgame A good meme: many things can be projected onto. A surrogate for meaning transmission. The gif thing on twitter uses signals of cultural popularity as part of how it ranks relevance. As if we all share a similar meaning making environment or something. https://t.co/p1imYk2C54
But the medium is the message, and I keep my eye on the pulse. Clenching my anus like a horse, in anticipation of the right number being called out.https://t.co/bBC001jkMV

Ah yes. The sphincter of the eye."In a cross section of the iris, the sphincter pupillae can be seen as an annular band of smooth muscle (100–170 µm thick; 0.7–1.0 mm wide) encircling the pupil (figure 7)." https://t.co/FD6IAIxzcdhttps://t.co/t6oLYuZ55V https://t.co/tbzoaTC6LR

It doesn't matter if it is real or not. You have to think about this in terms of risk.https://t.co/H1922W3ZWG
"Why people believe strange things"?Don't be "fooled by randomness" Are these people who believe strange things Upside down? no. They are focused on the Upside. The IYIs are focused on correct beliefs, defining correct in terms of accuracy, not risk.https://t.co/x9zM6bonR8
@mseebach @chrisgrezo @paulg @sonyasupposedly Flipping this on it's head; someone trying to convince people to not worry about bad things and focus on the upside is often the tactics of a 'confidence man'.Telling oneself there is no point in trying helps not get hopes up or stretch limited resources.
Add enough signals together, and you might see the picture. A part of the whole. https://t.co/LZFeFxxwUc
