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!

#MundaneHalloween

I am slowly converting the wife into a horror fan hehehehe

yeah! it's so campy and silly!

realizing I might have to admit campy slashers are one of my favorite horror genres, well that and cosmic horror

watched nightmare on elm street with the wife since is halloween, and it's still a fun movie! def on the gory side, but also the dream logic lightens it up for me, makes it real funny at times.

def get why it fucked up the husband when he was little tho

baking-accident tide pods are absolutely an aperture science invention. blue, orange, and white color scheme? pleasing rounded plastic aesthetic? look tasty but will burn your throat and kill you? i bet they were cave johnson's attempt at creating delicious snack packs lilmisscopypaster "Cave Johnson here, So I have some bad news and some good news, the bad news is those Aperture Science confectionaries we just spent millions of dollars making are absolutely toxic, they will rupture your insides immediately upon ingesting them. The good news is we've found they're great for taking stains out of clothes."

there's a huge, pervasive issue in games (well, and everything) of white skin being the "default" and everything being designed and tuned around that, and then darker skinned options never being prioritized or checked to ensure they get the same quality and care.

Screenshot from SRIV, four spheres in different skin shades

On Saints Row we had a debug npc named Skinballs (lol) that was literally just four spheres wrapped in different shades of skin texture so we could test lighting for different skin tones during development. But teams need to plan for that kind of testing with intentionality, and not enough do.

Hi and welcome to my post-mortem on why we did not take over Steam’s marketshare.

Slide #1: We did not tell anyone we were trying to do this.

Sorry, guys. This one is on me. I honestly just forgot. Like, I had it as a reminder on my phone, but it was there for so long, I just ignored it. Whoops.

Valve isn't nice or your friend, its just that no one has a gun to their head demanding they meet some made up growth goal every year or else. So they just do what works and makes money with as little risk as possible. Like a normal fucking business.

I used to work at a small shop that made little plastic vampires.

There were only 2 of us working there, so I had to make every second count.

For reasons too complex to explain here, I wrote an Apple II program designed for Early Modern Age Catholics to determine if they're allowed to have sex with their wife, or if it'd be a sin.

Here's the video of it running.

Comic explaining ADHD motivation with a stove metaphor. Text: “You can explain ADHD motivation like a stove with retractable buttons.” A pot sits on a stove with two knobs. Text continues: “The buttons are the ‘motivation’ to start an action. When the stove gets turned on, an action gets started. When people want to cook, they press the buttons and turn the stove on. But for me, the buttons don’t appear, so I can’t start cooking.” At the bottom, the character with short black hair and yellow antennae tries pressing the stove knobs repeatedly but nothing happens.

Jamie McKelvie @mckelvie.bsky.social The main achievement of the tech industry has been increasing the flow of money from people who make or do things to people who already have more money than they could spend in a hundred lifetimes

I've been thinking about this nonstop since I retweeted it and it's absolutely true. Every innovative edge case created by the internet is now just funneling money to the rich while being enshittified.

This is it. Tech ruins everything eventually. It makes the old bad look good.

also ynow alien/silence of the lambs but that's just cause they were mentioned so I wanted to go for ones I thought up organically

each is a 10/10 for *very* different reasons

evil dead
annihilation
sinners
