Why are so many people taking this seriously? Lol
I was thinking the same. I was reading the comments and couldn’t help but feel like half of them think this is real…
It might be. It’s hard to tell the difference anymore.
For some reason I can hear it.
I believe anything after the tidepods
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.
Yeah, that really lowered the bar for society.
at least tide pods are colorful, like candy.
Why is Lemmy so boomer-brained?
Cause most of this community are posts that are serious. You can’t blame people for getting confused when an actual meme shows up.
They are ?
Because of the tiktok crime trend mentioned elsewhere in the thread
Any piece of information I see, especially the more official looking, I take seriously
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.
Somebody wants to get hired by The Onion.
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.
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.
Nah, it’s just a legacy of British colonialism, it’s forbidden by the state to harm yourself in UK (half joking, because it really is a crime to harm yourself consensually)
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.
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.
Isn’t it a Chinese company? They probably make up the majority of the demographic.
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.
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
im sure thatd EXACTLXy what they habe Seen :) im saying, the circle im in, these people, they would be the First to See the “fuckrd up” stuff
I love how tiktuk is so stupid, you didn’t realize this was obvious satire
ehm, somewhere in my comment, that was exactly my point. Upon re-reading it however, I realize, I haven’t articulated myself very well.
In that case, I’m sorry for the snark!
Is this real or a joke? I can’t tell.
Choose your path.
The fact that you have to ask says a lot about society /s
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…
Give it time and they’ll have the “shoot yourself in the face with a 9mm because we believe 9mm are removed guns” challenge.
And they’ll do it.
Well, obviously you don’t start with 9mm. You start with .17 and work your way up to 22 short then 22lr and so on. If you jump straight to shooting yourself in the face with a 9mm of course you’re gonna get hurt.
Yeah, you gotta build up your immunities.
yeah if you haven’t worked your way up, there’s no way you’re going to have the callouses for a 9mm
I have unironucally heard a person state that a can plinking .22 round would not penetrate his skull at 100m.
I’m not even sure a .22 would go that far
It definitely will. I used to shoot all sorts of random shit out past 200m as a kid when we went to visit my grandparents who had a giant plot of land in the middle of nowhere. I have a very traumatic memory of my brother shooting a turtle he put up on a rock across the pond and watching it bleed out, so I am 100% sure it will both go that far and punch through bone.
It says on the box that a bullet can travel for up to 2 1/2 miles
Folks, they’re joking. I appreciate your commitment to the bit.
Kids, don’t play with too many knives.
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.
It always makes that NOFX song The Idiots Are Talking Over pop into my head
🎶The industrial revolution, Has flipped the removed on evolution🎶
Reminds me of this guy who called a store and convinced the owner to call the police on a random customer girl and give her a strip search
I’m sorry?
It was a McDonald’s, the caller hacked into the security camera feed and called one of the managers (male) pretending to be law enforcement.
There was a movie about it called compliance.
True story. The video was making the rounds on the internet for a while.
What do people expect from an account named “nutty putty cave updates”?
Poe’s Law is in full effect.
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.
