I think that easy peasy japanesey today means something like "Lol, laugh at me, I talk rubbish : D" An interest in James Randi and Penn and Teller brought me to the JREF forum long before I started posting on the SGU forum.

Effective 9/1/2015 the JREF has made major changes including converting to a grant making foundation and no longer accepting applications for the Million Dollar Prize from the general public. It's a shithole, full of people who range from just JAQing off to out and out racists, as opposed to our one or two concern trolls who never have an opinion of their own to offer that we get here.

This forum is smaller and therefore better suited to what I want. I can get a sense for who people are. Granted sometime they change their forum handles and I get really confused (you know who you are... even if I don't anymore), but we have some people who are active in spurts (SQ the enigma or NeutralMilk for example), and yet have been here long enough that you know who they are when they grace us with their presence. Then there are somewhere around 30 posters who are here reliably pretty much every week in some form, each with their own posting styles, personalities, and interests. It's small enough that I feel like reputation matters a bit. You have to actually be concerned that what you say in one thread will be remembered and held against you if you contradict yourself elsewhere. There's a size which just makes even frequent posters fairly anonymous or reduces all people to caricatures or stereotypes because you can't keep them straight. I just got the sense that the community was too big to really have the feel of a community that I like. The JREF Award "is given to the person or organization that best represents the spirit of the foundation by encouraging critical questions and seeking unbiased, fact-based answers."

The ideal situation for its use is talking about something simple that produces a big result. I've heard it used probably once or twice in real life and probably a couple of times in movies and TV, but it's an older phrase that's not used nowadays; I've never used it. If you as a Japanese person used it, it might lose some of its meaning and be funnier than you intended.a b "Los Angeles Office Closed". James Randi Educational Foundation. September 1, 2014 .
