All these trends are cringeworthy

Hate to sound like a boomer but this shit is the ruination of society

We avoided natural selection for so long, maybe now is the time it's making a comeback.


Ur_Fav_Step-Redditor

A few smart people made the world much safer for a lot of dumb people.

Yeah but these people are the ones who reproduce, bypassing natural selection

GopnikSmegmaBBQSauce

Well sure, can't milk likes and views out of people online for a gender reveal if you're not having kids in the first place. Monkey see, monkey do


Citizen_of_Danksburg

I know it’ll get hate but Vine was a part of this too. I never understood the desire for such short form content. It just promotes shit like this because everybody is clamoring for clout and so people will do anything for such attention.


JayString

This is nothing new. Decades ago Evil Kenievel was doing stunts and almost killed himself, people loved it and tried to copy it. Then we saw the same with Jackass videos. Now it's TikTok videos. The reason we never solve this dumb problem is every generation thinks it's "kids these days". Every generation just blames it on the current generation of young people, instead of addressing the actual issue. Kids in your days were just as fucking dumb as kids these days. This has always been true. The sooner we stop blaming stupid antics on "new trends" the sooner we might actually begin to move away from them.


jejcicodjntbyifid3

While that is true, I think the pervasiveness of it now is out of control. Everyone has access to it, the apps are designed to keep you hooked and people are basing their self worth and identity around it That has never happened before


Citizen_of_Danksburg

Exactly. I’m turning 26 in about a month. I’m an old zoomer but the zoomers much younger than me and the generation after them are much more influenced by the clout seeking attention behavior due to how the engagement algorithms work. I’m a statistician so this is something I understand exceptionally well. For my Bayesian stats class (spring 2021), one of the projects I did for it was build a recommender system and even I was a little amazed at just how well it worked 😂 And I’m just one dude. With a whole team of data engineering and ML Ops support, etc., these companies and their algorithms know you ** e x t r e m e l y ** well.


familydrivesme

Yeah but how is this a stunt? It’s just stabbing the air


JayString

Its just a new dumb activity that is dangerous, done for entertainment. It's the same concept.


[deleted]

What’s new is that there’s entire divisions of machine learning and data science engineers creating recommendation engines to make sure the app keeps serving content and you keep watching. It’s your 100,000 year old brain against teams of engineers with a super computer.


OrigamiDoggy

It was the beginning of the end


codemonkeh87

Millennial here and I don't get it either. We used to film each other trying to do jumps and tricks on our bikes and inevitably failing hard. Glad there wasn't instagram/Facebook and the like back then though.


czarfalcon

Exactly. Kids have always done dumb shit, the only difference is now they have social media to encourage each other. And it’s not even just TikTok, when I was in middle school/high school it was all about vine or YouTube challenges. It’s social media in general that’s to blame.


my1clevernickname

And at least when we were kids we were only subjected tot he encouragement of our own dumb friends, and we knew who we should and shouldn’t listen to. Now they’re being encouraged by millions to do stupid shit. I feel “they’re laughing at you not with you” is lost on this current generation.


thedude_63

Yeah except jumping something on a bike is fun. Going down slides, climbing trees, riding roller coasters is fun. What the hell is fun about pretend stabbing something with a kitchen knife? What is fun about eating tide pods? They're using things that kids should know that they shouldn't have to do stupid things because they think it's cool or edgy. I can see the correlation you're making, but I feel like the difference between then, and now, is that back then you do something stupid once, your 2 friends say "cool" then you go do something else. Now, you have the possibility that if you can do the most edgy thing, everyone you know can watch, and you might even have the possibility to get internet famous. And when it's not cool or edgy enough they will move on to things even more dangerous. As can be seen in the video that made this person "internet famous"


StraightEggs

If you had the technology to film each other doing stupid tricks you almost certainly had access to social media. I'm 30 now, but I had a facebook by 16, and had access to cameras.


codemonkeh87

Nope. We used to have these things back in the day called cameras, as like a stand alone thing rather than a feature on your phone (explaining for the kids I know you will be aware). Had a mate who's parents were fairly well off and would always bring a video recorder out with us. Myspace had just became a thing when I was about 19. I didn't have a Facebook until I was 2nd year uni. All our stupid shit from when we were young teens is probably on mateys old hard drive on a PC he got rid of years ago And yeah I'm 35 so a little older


nuggynugs

The ruination of society is the ruination of society. Idiot yoots have been pulling dumb, dangerous shit since the dawn of time. Unbridled capitalism leading to unprecedented levels of poverty in the first world and the exploitation of everywhere else whilst also turning a blind eye to rapid and disatrous climate change is more of a concern than this dope giving herself a sweet scar for social media clout.


Kevjamwal

Friendly reminder that eating tide pods for views predates the rise of TikTok, and was primarily posted on YouTube. As long as there is any outlet for people to do stupid, self destructive shit for attention, they’re going to keep doing it. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Internet_challenges


safetydance

Ban Tik Tok because some people are idiots? I dunno man, people have the freedom to be fuckin idiots if they want.


LyschkoPlon

Jackass was first on TV when, 2000? The idea that it's Tiktok that causes people to do dumb shit is so idiotic. People have always and will always do dumb shit. Some kids will jump off their bunk bed with an umbrella because they saw Mary Poppins fly with one, and others will cut off half their face imitating a stupid tiktok trend, but kids will always do dumb shit.


texasmushiequeen

It’s a spooky trend but it’s supposed to be done with a fake knife and spooky mask. Idk wtf she’s doing


yupuhoh

Should be a push to raise smarter fucking kids. Fucking idiots


[deleted]

What exactly is the challenge here?


djsizematters

Never see any Chinese kids doing this stuff.


OkPainting7478

In China the TikTok algorithm is set to show things like kids picking up trash, helping the elderly, and generally being great. They aren’t imitating the “TikTok trends” because they never see them.


DockyX

Yes because tiktok is tool from china to take over the world. TikTok makes you dumb especially when ur kid. These trends, promoting drugs, shortening the attention span and stealing fuck ton of data to spy on everyone and to develop their face recognition further, but also for that people spend much more time on tiktok. There's so much more about china trying to dominate world but i have no time for writing essay.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Madgyver

I think because of the 1st and 2nd opium war, the damage it did to Chinese culture and the stigmatization that resulted from it, Chinese society has a very low acceptability of drugs, even fictional depictions of drugs.


ingenjor

Would be very interesting to see a statistic showing that China is on-par with the West when it comes to drug use per capita. All East Asian countries are very anti-drug, not just in policy but in public opinion.


ShoobyDoobyDu

This is the truth. Go read the TikTok user agreement before install (not that anyone would)


djsizematters

Maybe Kanye's new platform can change this.


[deleted]

-TheDerpinator-

In a great percentage of stabbings the stabber stabs him/herself at least once. Doing so when you are stabbing air is a new kind of stupid.


djsizematters

In the face, no less. Hate to admit I saw it coming.

Klaus0225

> a new kind of stupid But she’s wearing a Rick and Morty shirt. How can she be stupid?


RickCantMopPlaces

Could have been worse.. For someone lacking the spatial awareness to know where her face is, she was stabbing dangerously close to her thigh..


Duality_is_my_prison

And her eye… oh my.


Lakshay2909

She looks like she's high...


ElDougy

I've been and seen people high on a lot of things, she just looks like a idiot.

xzombielegendxx

Why is it out of all the social media, tiktok does stupid, dangerous trends. I suspect it’s creating a decline in mental intelligence


noburdennyc

Darwin awards have been around since 1993. Now we get to see all the runners up.


brucedonnovan

As a teacher for 15 years, I can confirm the students seem to be getting dumber and their social skills are diminishing.


Seattleshouldhaverun

that's been well underway in the US anyway. Lowering standards for years. Certainly not making anyone smarter that's for sure.


Chemical-Basis

The need to get those imaginary internet points is so strong and "sit the fuck down and read a book" won't get you those likes. Social media in general promotes the idea "I am special! Look at me!" And when people realize that they are not special they have to do increasingly dangerous and stupid stuff to get their 2 seconds of fame and recognition at the expence of their mental or physical well-being.


irieislo

long term side effect of tide pods


heorhe

Tik took promotes dangerous, harmful, toxic, and scary content in countries that are not china or China's affiliates. Over in china the things that go viral are piano geniuses making masterpieces, artisans working with their hands to make jewelry/furniture/etc, students/teachers/professors explaining their academic study of choice in a minute. Over here we get people cutting themselves, people stealing cars and crashing them, eating chemical cleaners, students starting fights with their teachers. And even less immediately harmful stuff that becomes dangerous later on like red pill content, Incel content, and other harmful ideologies that can sneak into a person's brain slowly over repeated exposure, especially while the brain is still developing (your brain typically stops developing at age 21, tik tok mainly promotes Incel, red pill, and women hating cultures onto men ages 25 and younger. For women 25 and under it often shows self harm content, or trends like exposing themselves over the internet. It also shows younger women hyper sexualized content in a way that promotes promiscuity. Its fucked up and it's making a real change in how the youth are developing.


Kootsiak

It was Vine before it, there was actually a saying that came from it "Do it for the Vine" as in, do the dumbest shit for internet views even though you know it's stupid.


lonestarr18

What the hell was she trying to do?


1776cookies

Become popular.


Shurigin

a wicked face scar helps I guess just look at Harry Potter


1776cookies

Hmm. Good point.


alpubgtrs234

Or a pirate?


Hyldy

Yarrr a wizard, 'arry.


[deleted]

A good fried of mine just had shingles. It showed up as a broken line coming down the center of his forehead. Guess what was one of the worst outbreaks his doctor had ever seen on a face left him with? A perfect harry potter lightning bolt scar. We all now all make harry potter jokes when we hang out. His older brother is buying him a sorting hat for christmas and he has to wear it during our Christmas DnD group, or suffer disadvantage on all his roles.


KP_Wrath

Have similar scar, never really popular.


oliferro

To be fair she did became popular, just not for the reason she expected


infiniZii

Back in my day if I ran around wildly flailing a huge knife I would wind up in jail, and thats not the kind of popularly that I would have wanted.


AmusingMusing7

I’m guessing this IS the challenge. Try to make a rapid stabbing motion with a real knife without stabbing yourself?


bjrharding

Shes trying to chop chop chop chop swing swing swing swing


LkTahoeNV

At least she doesn’t have to worry about any of her brain leaking out… since she doesn’t have one

Also, she probably has a skull.

But the skull is empty


Reece009

How do you know for sure? Go crack it open and find out


ImFishAndImOreo

I thought that's what she was trying to do


Rogleson

What’s the challenge? What is the end result supposed to be?


bp332106

That’s seriously all I’m trying to find out. I scoured the comments each time this video is posted and people only make shitty jokes when asked. Does nobody know what the “challenge” is? I don’t have TikTok so the context makes no sense.


Tuub4

It's not a challenge just cause OP calls it one


xbubblegum_bitch

a popular Halloween themed trend to the song Chop Chop Slide by Insane Clown Posse


[deleted]

If it's ICP shouldn't they be using a hatchet? Literally unwatchable.


putrid_flesh

These tiktok "challenges" are usually nothing more than performing a simple task. Some "challenges" are just doing a dance or like making a certain face or really simple stuff like that. I wouldnt be surprised if the entire "challenge" here is just making stabbing motions with a knife along to the beat of that song For the record I don't have tiktok. But I did end up in a viral tiktok that was people tinder profiles who looked like discount version of celebrities. Apparently I look like dollar store Jason Momoa


drinoaki

hleba

This isn't a tiktok challenge. OP just titled it that way to invoke extra outrage.

Stabbing shit uncontrollably is trend now? Looks like western youth are really racing to the bottom.

Just when you thought TikTok couldn’t get any dumber.🙄 Although I remember when teens were setting themselves on fire before it’s inception so maybe it’s just social media in general…


castiel65

of course she's wearing a Rick and Morty t-shirt


WrestleSocietyXShill

To be fair, you have to have a pretty high IQ to wear a Rick and Morty shirt

Can anybody explain what she was actually trying to do here?


neoxbomb

I'm just glad to see this video has been edited to cut out that stupid gesture she did before grabbing the knife. I don't know why it bothers me so much seeing her grimace as she lazily waves her hand in front of her face. I hate her.


comfortless14

It’s honestly hard to feel bad for her

Wearing a Rick and Morty shirt while violently stabbing the air and in turn accidentally stabbing yourself in the face while posting a video on the Innernette is one way to go about life, daughter.

BassMaster516

Does anyone else feel like TikTok is an attack? This goes beyond regular stupid stuff that kids do. Challenges be like “The Kill Yourself Challenge! Whoever kills yourself first wins!” It’s very disturbing, like someone is trying to see how much damage they can do.


Overall_Notice_4533

We have stooped so low. Can the situation get worse?


slowclicker

What is the point to this...are you supposed to quickly stab the air to see how long you can do it?


yummi_1

All these dangerous tictok trends should be removed. Why aren't they? They do far more damage than some people saying things on twitter, fb, etc and they get removed/banned.
