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..
Why are so many people taking this seriously? Lol
Any piece of information I see, especially the more official looking, I take seriously
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.
I believe anything after the tidepods
Yeah, that really lowered the bar for society.
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.
For some reason I can hear it.
Why is Lemmy so boomer-brained?
Kids, don't play with too many knives.
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.
If we don't warn them, eventually we won't need to warn them anymore.
This could totally be a thing
Somebody wants to get hired by The Onion.
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.
Give it time and they'll have the "shoot yourself in the face with a 9mm because we believe 9mm are pussy 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 if you haven't worked your way up, there's no way you're going to have the callouses for a 9mm
Yeah, you gotta build up your immunities.
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.
Folks, they're joking. I appreciate your commitment to the bit.
It says on the box that a bullet can travel for up to 2 1/2 miles
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.
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!
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
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 bitch on evolution🎶
can't wait for the next challenge, "give us your daddy or mommys DOD password or stab your grandma in the armpits"
"Survival of the fittest is taking a new turn; tonight at 2200!"
Poe's Law is in full effect.
Also known as the 'Thinning the Herd of the Weak and Stupid' challenge.
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.
The Elliot Smith challenge
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.
Yikes 😬
It's OK I donated to Wikipedia this morning
