I don’t know how to comment when I see this. I want to talk about how this works, but most people know how this works. So I don’t know why its a thing. Its funny though.

This particular version is more about the characters depicted (Denji and Power from Chainsaw Man), who are famous for being endearingly stupid.

The more earnest versions you tend to see on TikTok are mostly posted by, or at least targeted at, actual kids who don't yet understand how vision works. Nobody on Lemmy is under the age of 30.

Although I might feel 30 sometimes, I'll have you know I'm a ripe 28 & ¾

[–] MickeySwitcherooney@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'm also 28 and three quarters. Weird.

[–] koorool@feddit.de 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

[–] Melonenbaum@discuss.tchncs.de 12 points 2 years ago (1 children)

My age has been overestimated but never by 13 year.

Get out of here you literal baby!

[–] original_ish_name@lemm.ee 11 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I'm way under the age of 30

[–] atocci@kbin.social 7 points 2 years ago

[–] Zetta@mander.xyz 7 points 2 years ago

I'm 24, I can't believe you'd accuse me of such a thing.

[–] AeroRake@lemm.ee 6 points 2 years ago

Thank you so much for this. I really hate giving that website views. Nobody should be using Twitter in 2023.

It also loads like absolute shit

I thought this whole "object behind paper against a mirror" thing was just a meme at first because the result is very intuitive and not at all shocking... But then I guess people genuinely didn't get it? People really can be so stupid.

Why do they have sharpened teeth? That's a little creepy

[–] Denvil@lemmy.one 33 points 2 years ago (2 children)

They're from an anime, Chainsaw Man. Haven't watched idk why they have sharp teeth, but my best guess is that it's an anime where they use their OP chainsaw teeth to make a killing in the lumber industry, that's definitely what it's about.

[–] SchmallChild@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 years ago

I watched the anime, your guess is right.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 4 points 2 years ago

They have sharp teeth to show they are demons, I thought. The main dude doesn't have sharp.teeth until he is made into a demon when his little chainsaw dog replaced his heart.

Others have pointed out there is inconsistencies with this, though. I just figured they were oversights in production and the sharp teeth are still intended to represent when the character is demonic.

Thank your for posting this instead of just being condescending about it being stupid question like most of the people on this thread

[–] lyam23@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

She's the best. Chainsaw Man is great for many reasons, but the powerful women with agency is one of the best. Especially for a shonen manga.

[–] EherVielleicht@feddit.de 6 points 2 years ago

I am angleless...

[–] dessimbelackis@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Lights a funny thing, innit?
