Why are so many people taking this seriously? Lol

[-] Pacattack57@lemmy.world 39 points 3 months ago

I was thinking the same. I was reading the comments and couldn’t help but feel like half of them think this is real…

[-] Serinus@lemmy.world 21 points 3 months ago

It might be. It's hard to tell the difference anymore.

[-] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

For some reason I can hear it.

[-] EddoWagt@feddit.nl 18 points 3 months ago

I believe anything after the tidepods

[-] jacksilver@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago

Yeah, that really lowered the bar for society.

[-] MutilationWave@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago

Even the tide pods was like 95% a joke from Gen Z on the olds. Just a few people went through with it for shock value. I saw one guy try to smoke one in a bong, it was hilarious.

[-] underwire212@lemm.ee 1 points 3 months ago

Any piece of information I see, especially the more official looking, I take seriously

[-] teslasaur@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Cause most of this community are posts that are serious. You can't blame people for getting confused when an actual meme shows up.

Love how we've fully monetized kids doing stupid shit for attention. This has been a revenue stream we've left untapped for far too long.

[-] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 63 points 3 months ago

Somebody wants to get hired by The Onion.

[-] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 35 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Add "stabbing yourself in the face" to the ever-growing list of things people didn't use to be so stupid they had to be warned not to do.

[-] echodot@feddit.uk 21 points 3 months ago

It's political correctness gone mad.

You can't do anything now. The liberals won't even let you slit your own throat. It's madness.

[-] FuCensorship@lemmy.today 6 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

If we don't warn them, eventually we won't need to warn them anymore.

I love how tiktuk is so stupid, people actually believe that this is a TREND, when in reality nobody even knows anyone did this (if its even real, which its probably not) this just reminded me of the "set yourself on fire challenge" which supposedly was VERY trend on tiktak. I asked my friends that use the dumpster and no one knew what I was saying.

[-] emeralddawn45@discuss.tchncs.de 14 points 3 months ago

Apparently Tiktok has like 2 BILLION(!!) users. As crazy as that is, if even 0.01% of users is doing some dumb crazy thing, thats pptentially 200 000 kids injuring themselves or whatever when they wouldn't otherwise. Its not a trend among the majority of users, but it is a trend that was spread by tiktok.

[-] beansbeansbeans@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Isn't it a Chinese company? They probably make up the majority of the demographic.

[-] emeralddawn45@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 3 months ago

Well yeah but thats a lot of people globally. My point is just that something doesnt have to be widespread on tiktok for it to stull reach a significant amount of people.

There's many different sides of tiktok, and there's a chance that your friends just haven't seen it (not saying it's real).

For example, I'm sure they haven't seen fur suit construction videos.

[-] flamingo_pinyata@sopuli.xyz 10 points 3 months ago

True, tiktok is amazingly good at creating bubbles. Once you're classified you'll never know there are other bubbles out there, there's very little overlap.

Unless you click on one single video outside of your bubble, then that's all you see

I love how tiktuk is so stupid, you didn't realize this was obvious satire

[-] urheber@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 3 months ago

ehm, somewhere in my comment, that was exactly my point. Upon re-reading it however, I realize, I haven't articulated myself very well.

[-] kamiheku@sopuli.xyz 4 points 3 months ago

In that case, I'm sorry for the snark!

[-] MonkderVierte@lemmy.ml 15 points 3 months ago

Is this real or a joke? I can't tell.

[-] P4ulin_Kbana@lemmy.eco.br 8 points 3 months ago

Choose your path.

[-] MBM@lemmings.world 3 points 3 months ago

The fact that you have to ask says a lot about society /s

Kids, don't play with too many knives.

[-] HawlSera@lemm.ee 10 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Personally I don't think it gets dumber than the "Crashing Out" challenge (Film yourself as doing as many crimes as possible in the dumbest ways as possible, and try to get as much cash as possible from the views before you're banned from the platform and arrested)

Seriously, one guy's basically in the South Korean version of Area 51 after trying to see how many countries he could do this in..

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

If he was American, he could have just stayed home and done a lot of things that are federal crimes, like accidentally blocking a toilet in a national park or threatening a circus.

This book is so good.

[-] nthavoc@lemmy.today 2 points 3 months ago

This looks hilarious and will have to read. Thanks for sharing! Although, it did sort of ruin my plans for importing a pregnant polar bear.

I certainly hope this isn’t real. If it is, though, we’ve clearly held Darwinism at bay for far too long and maybe we should just start letting these things play out.

[-] thisbenzingring@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 3 months ago

It always makes that NOFX song The Idiots Are Talking Over pop into my head

🎶The industrial revolution, Has flipped the bitch on evolution🎶

Poe's Law is in full effect.

[-] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 5 points 3 months ago

This could totally be a thing

[-] mkhopper@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

Also known as the 'Thinning the Herd of the Weak and Stupid' challenge.

[-] introvertcatto@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 3 months ago

What kind of tiktoks are people watching? I sometimes watch tiktok and never was able to see those stupid trends. I only see memes, car content, cartoons and some goofy stuff.

[-] GratefullyGodless@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

What do people expect from an account named "nutty putty cave updates"?

It's OK I donated to Wikipedia this morning

Hardcore motherfucker. The realest one. I wish he hadn't done it of course. If he could've been saved I can't imagine how incredible his music might have become. He could have been a great advocate for mental health.

[-] TimewornTraveler@lemm.ee 2 points 3 months ago

dude picked up Crack rocks for fun, his music would have gone down the toilet even without that witch murdering him

Reminds me of the guy that promised people money for a study over Skype and them people zapped themselves by putting fingers into outlets. But they were adults not kids.
