Seriously, there's ideology happening here. There are two factions, the skibidi toilets and the machine agents, locked in an escalating arms race which gradually destroys the entire world they're fighting over. The toilets have human heads grotesquely warped but toilet bodies while the agents have human bodies which are always in businesswear but machine heads, specifically machines of surveillance and propaganda (security cameras, televisions, and loudspeakers). The toilets primarily use physical attacks or eye lasers while the agents use more and more machines attached to their bodies. The toilets can parasitize the agents, but the agents quickly develop technological countermeasures.

The perspective is always that of an agent.

What does this say about surveillance, about government, about war and revolution and humanity? I don't know but it's not nothing.

i like that the toilets are disabled by flushing. that's some Doofenshmirtz enemy design right there

[–] buckykat@hexbear.net 42 points 1 year ago

The toilets develop little caps to go over their flushers, too. Truly there's A Lot Going On Here.

The skibidi toilets are a radicalized group who gets "normies" liberals to join them, basically Maoism.
