Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

MODERATORS
I'm more confused about the confusion surrounding Skibidi Toilet than the thing itself. How is it confusing? Millennials already saw this kind of thing. This video is from October 2007 for example. Also all those weird animations on Newgrounds, people like Tom Green, the entire "random" fad from 20 years ago. Now I'm feeling all wistful and nostalgic for Salad Fingers. Those were good times honestly, felt like internet creativity was more organic back when there wasn't any money to be made
It's just some surreal animations with Half-Life 2 assets, right? I've been seeing stuff exactly like it for over half my life now. If anything I think it's cool that there's still life surrounding Half-Life 2 and Source engine stuff. lot of good times with those communities
also from my understanding a lot of popular slang that's considered gibberish (gyatt, rizz, cap, simp, etc) is just repurposed NYC/Chicago/Atlanta black slang that's been around for decades
The most confusing part about Skibidi Toilet is that it's using stock HL2 era assets. I thought that had been thoroughly mined for content 15+ years ago.
Source filmmaker is still free and accessible so we'll probably see those assets used for a long time
