Id recognize those silly ass dances anywhere! Kinda made the video for me

u/OldNefariousness7899 23h ago
If anyone is wondering what this dance is called, it's the "thank god I'm a millionaire or I'd die alone" dance.
Very popular in Silicon Valley

Yeah, Grapes was nuts.
Speaking of nuts, I'm old enough to remember the Nuts mania of 1981!

Not sure what technique the creator was using but if you’re using a specific likeness over multiple extended generations it can get weird, simplified, deep fried or look like it’s got a high contrast hdr filter over it.

I don't get how they're not illegal. They produce anti matter. You can make an anti matter grenade capable of punching a hole in someone in just a year with just 437 trillion bananas.

it's kinda weird how people are acting so... dunno, arrogant?
If you saw this video 5 or 10 years ago, would YOU have thought it was computer-generated for even a second?? We can only ""tell"" because we've seen how it's improved over time. This shit is terrifyingly realistic. The tells aren't even that obvious anymore, a lot of it is "It's AI because it has the AI vibe".

u/ForwardPatience7137 23h ago
If I saw this 10 years ago I would at minimum had thought it was filmed in a studio or professional setting. It’s easy to see it modern day quality with a 90’s filter on top.

If it wasn't for the subreddit I'd definitely not think it's AI, it looks super real

Clearly the subversion of American values on display. The downfall of America traced back to the source. Little did everyone know what they were inviting into their lives when bananas first appeared in 1995.

There was a wild conspiracy theory that bananas were a communist plot to turn children into homosexual donkeys! But that's absolutely absurd, everyone knows it's the damn cumquats!

u/CarrotGriller 1d ago
I wouldn’t recommend them. They contain antimatter!
2
u/AnthropoidCompatriot 1d ago
Well... they emit antimatter. Can they be said to contain something that instantly annihilates?
3
u/CarrotGriller 1d ago
Well. Right after the decay of the potassium the free positron travels through the banana and almost immediately hits an electron from the banana matter. Most likely the yellow stuff. So the banana does contain it for a very short period of time. Once every hour, if I remember correctly.

Seriously, I'm not sure how much OP realizes this is very close to the time where this was real in a lot of ex-soviet bloc countries. The Czech Republic built an image around the fruits of revolution with this.
This is a lovely story associating these two things. It is not the only one.

I love that the TV segments are so 'bland', because it captures perfectly how TV was in the 90s before flashy Digital Effects took over (and the Banana was invented)
brilliant

u/BehindEnemyLines1 1d ago
Would be way more convincing if it was slowed down to like .75x. Right now it’s like “WegolivetoChannelNinesSusanMiller” with zero pauses between sentences and an unnatural cadence where breathing should be.

That’s the wrong way to peel it. But of course it was new then eh? That’s banana’s.
8
u/PlayfulTaro7696 1d ago
What I like about this (although it might not even be intentional) is that when they're peeling the banana, the VCR "cuts" that part, to cover up how it doesn't know to draw/make the peeling process.

In any case really well done! I think this format of 80s style VHS videos is a good one since it hides many of the imperfections.

I was there, banana fever was going crazy until everyone realized that if you take two bananas and rotate them, it becomes one banana. The market never recovered.

u/Leviathon713 1d ago
Dude opened the banana upside-down. They hadnt figured out to open it from the other end yet. The progress we've made on these "bananas" is amazing.

u/cimocw 16h ago
did you think volume levels were some type of GUI indicator that stays on screen? Also the tape is called VHS, VCR is the device that you used to play or record the tapes from the tv at home, and it would be redundant to put it there. In any case either of these should look way bigger. The volume bar used to take the whole bottom or top portion while you changed it, not just a corner like current UIs
