Feeling down? Need a laugh? Well, good news. The Japanese internet is here to turn that frown upside down.
As previously reported, there are numerous threads that pop up on 2ch, Japan's largest forum, dedicated to silly and outrageous pics. The threads have titles like, "If you laugh, you die" or "If you laugh, you must take a bath." Dying is bad! Bathing is not. Do take a bath. Daily.
Some of the pics are Western meme pics. Others are hilarious photos from Japan and elsewhere in Asia.
Below, you can see a smattering of those pics from Japan and beyond. Some you might have seen before (here, even!). Others might be new to you.
