Yeah they have everything, that’s the idea.

[–] JokeDeity@lemm.ee 4 points 2 hours ago

I, on the other hand, would like to happily inform everyone that I still don't know what this is beyond seeing those words together, and if I play my cards right, I might never!

I find it funny news. I don’t get why so much people hate it like their personality depends on it

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 4 points 36 minutes ago

It's filled w/ MTX that preys on young people's sense of FOMO.

Oh, you're talking about Skibidi Toilet? Yeah, I really don't care one way or another about that.

[–] socsa@piefed.social 1 points 32 minutes ago

People are just tired of brain rot in general

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 6 points 8 hours ago

ST is a Govt psyop designed to distract, debase, and demoralize the youth

[–] feedum_sneedson@lemmy.world 9 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

I asked a seven-year-old girl why he's in the toilet. The answer - he fell in. You're welcome.

[–] Eyck_of_denesle@lemmy.zip 5 points 8 hours ago

Thank her for me

[–] DieserTypMatthias@lemmy.ml 1 points 7 hours ago

This is Generation Alpha stuff, AFAIK no one is listening to this brain rot.

[–] sp3tr4l@lemmy.zip 12 points 16 hours ago

Please tell me this also comes with a new map set in Ohio.

[–] FeelThePower@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 17 hours ago

i will be getting this.

[–] passiveaggressivesonar@lemmy.world 40 points 1 day ago (6 children)

Before we criticize the zoomers let's remember all the gmod slop we consumed as teenagers

[–] socsa@piefed.social 1 points 22 minutes ago (1 children)

Speak for yourself. The only mod slop i consumed was Tribes and Unreal Tournament

[–] passiveaggressivesonar@lemmy.world 1 points 19 minutes ago

Speak up please I can't hear you over your creaking hips

[–] Walk_blesseD@lemmy.blahaj.zone 16 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

zoomers

Hey pal, don't blame us for this shit, most of us are in our twenties

[–] GiveMemes@jlai.lu 2 points 1 hour ago

Hey pal, I'm also in my 20s and skibidi toilet is at least mildly entertaining.

[–] captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 20 points 16 hours ago

That's the journey I went on. The phrae "skibidi toilet" started happening around me, and so I looked up what it was, and I understood it immediately. It's SFM Youtube poop. I was there 3000 years ago when that was invented, I remember nope.avi and pootis.

I find two things remarkable though: 1, SFM is still relevant after all these years and 2, they managed to wring a sci-fi story out of "stupid video about singing heads in toilets."

[–] MirthfulAlembic@lemmy.world 10 points 15 hours ago (4 children)

I'm sure without context ytmnd.com seems insane.

[–] stringere@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 hours ago

I was going to mention ytmnd. Thank you.

[–] MY_ANUS_IS_BLEEDING@lemm.ee 1 points 4 hours ago

Even with context. The whole site was dedicated to hosting brainrot before brainrot was even a word.

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 3 points 5 hours ago

Badger badger badger. Explain that shit to a boomer

[–] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 2 points 10 hours ago

If I can go back to any of that and not be deeply mystified by our collective insanity, we weren't trying hard enough

[–] TheFriar@lemm.ee 7 points 17 hours ago

We had salad fingers

[–] Crafter72@lemmy.dbzer0.com 17 points 1 day ago

I find it interesting that Gmod almost touching 20 yrs and sfm still relevant to this day, there is always that guy who animates memes on sfm.

[–] Sixtyforce@sh.itjust.works 19 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Valve has been rather quiet about the use of male_07 by Dafuq.

[–] Stromatose@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

Seems like the best strategy don't you think? There are no real pros to pushing a pointless copyright claim and only negatives would come from doing so.

[–] stardust@lemmy.ca 45 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Internet is weird for people who only stick to message board type social media like lemmy and reddit, and avoid account focused social media like tiktok, Twitter, Instagram, threads, etc.

[–] fishpen0@lemmy.world 23 points 1 day ago

One could argue that this is the weird part of the internet now since we are the minority

We are like the BBS, IRC, and Usenet users of the late 2000s who refused to be swayed by Digg, Reddit, and (SMS only) Twitter.

[–] TriflingToad@sh.itjust.works 77 points 1 day ago (6 children)

WOOOOOOOO!!!!!! (i don't watch skibidi toilet and have never played fortnite)

[–] GBU_28@lemm.ee 25 points 1 day ago (1 children)

We're back boys (somewhere I've never been and will never go)

I saw skibidi toilet in the toy store the other day, how can it be so popular?

[–] 5in1k@lemm.ee 1 points 36 minutes ago

Why did my friends love Weebl and Bob or Arfenhaus?

[–] jerakor@startrek.website 11 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

How is different from Crazy Frog or Billy Bass? Dumb memes turning into toys or dumb meme toys have been around for forever.

[–] BeigeAgenda@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 hours ago

I must have been spared from the other meme toys, this one I noticed.

[–] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Yes. How can those things also be popular?

[–] MY_ANUS_IS_BLEEDING@lemm.ee 4 points 4 hours ago

Absurdist humour will always have fans

[–] agent_nycto@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It should be studied in film classes as a perfect example of non narrative based storytelling.

I'm serious.

[–] MellowYellow13@lemmy.world 5 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago) (1 children)

No it shouldn't.

I am also serious.

[–] socsa@piefed.social 1 points 24 minutes ago

Hello serious, I'm dad

[–] Caboose12000@lemmy.world 22 points 1 day ago (7 children)

have you actually tried watching? I keep seeing complaints from people who never gave it a chance just because it looked weird

[–] mbfalzar@lemmy.dbzer0.com 32 points 1 day ago

I've seen a number of people who I know for a fact enjoyed Salad Fingers 20 years ago just unthinkingly dunking on skibidi toilet

[–] Comment105@lemm.ee 14 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

Isn't it absurdist horror?

These kids seem way more into horror than I've ever seen. I was really surprised to hear how my cousin's kids adored a freaky one called Poppy Playtime.

[–] Twerp10@reddthat.com 3 points 16 hours ago

The first 2 episodes are before the narrative starts.

[–] UnhingedFridge@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Nah, it's a constantly intensifying war between alien invaders (the toilet people) and a resistance group of electronics-based people.

Absurd as hell as a concept, but dude somehow makes it engaging?
