TikTok is just Vine but in a time where every child has a phone capable of making their own videos, as well as AI generated bullshit. There's some genuinely good content there, but you have to wade through an ocean of shit to find it.
But, I mean... The same could be said of YouTube, too.
And it's vertical form ☹️
What is Cocomelon?
Brainrot for babies. Don't google it. You'll be much happier not knowing.
A cartoon for toddlers.
Specifically, it's a really bad YouTube nursery rhyme cartoon for toddlers. It's heavily addictive but totally vapid. Not everything young kids watch needs to be edutainment, but Cocomelon is obnoxious brainrot that kids love and adults hate.
At least it's not Caillou.
Caillou is actually made be people who are at least trying to do something useful. Coconelon is made by people with a meth dealer mentality.
Imagine if Caillou had dead, dead eyes. That's cocomelon.
There are grownups who use Tiktok? Ew
He says on Lemmy with zero awareness.

Ice cold take stolen from other media.
Not that I am disagreeing or anything.
grown ups you say ?
And this place isn't?
A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
