Anti-Seismic Structure During Earthquake

Text on the meme

Anti-seismic structure at work during yesterday's earthquake. Hokuriku Expressway in Kanazawa, Ishikawa prefecture.

What it means

A screenshot of a social media post shows an elevated highway structure in Kanazawa, Japan, visibly flexing or swaying during an earthquake. The joke is the impressive “anti-seismic structure at work” phrasing, used as a reaction to something shaking dramatically while supposedly functioning as designed.
