I'm a millennial who doesn't really know.

But. It seems like the duck billed platypus of zoomer humor. YouTube pays for views. And people just make million of videos. And this one happened to catch on. And it's so bizarre people show it to their friends. Hilarity ensues. 🤷

Its what the blind algorithm hath brought us.

it's not zoomer humour, it is alpha gen humour. zoomers hate it.

as a millennial i think it's very funny that gen z are confused by the next generation's memes

The hate for skibidi toilet baffles me because it's literally the same shit we laughed at not even 20 years ago? Does nobody remember pingas and pootis? Fan flashes? It's crazy how fast people fall into "kids like it so it's bad"

[-] SimplyTadpole@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 5 months ago

That's what I've been thinking, too. As a zoomer/zillennial who doesn't follow it, from what I've gathered Skibidi Toilet seems to be just Gen Alpha's equivalent of YouTube Poops that Milllennials loved and GMod animation shitposts Zoomers enjoyed.

Considering I loved both of these while growing up, and still like rewatching them from time to time for nostalgia's sake, it'd be hypocritical of me to hate skibidi toilet 😅

I have honestly never heard of pingas and pootis, or fan flashes. Are those American things? Or was I already too old for these things 20 years ago. Late thirties here.

Edit: and even after skimming this thread, I still have no clue what skibidi toilets are, haha.

[-] Maven@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 5 months ago

They were popular gags that dominated the millennial YouTube landscape. I can't say they were American things since I'm not American and they were still popular here. Possible you just missed, the internet's big

Every generation just finds it's humor further and further up the anus of the internet

[-] Kidplayer_666@lemm.ee 9 points 5 months ago

Gen Z here. Even I have no idea

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
