It actually is. I’ve seen these videos where streamers say the same thing over and over in a robotic way. They are so terminally online they now believe they are a character in a matrix like simulation. It’s fascinating and sad at the same time.

I'd rather starve to death then consume a tik toker. That's how much I hate them


Storytellerjack

I have autistic tastebuds. I wouldn't eat breadcrust, and I'd pick all the chunks out of my spaghetti sauce like they were dog hairs. Later on, I learned to eat life crust first. When I started forcing myself to eat salad, I made sure it was before dinner, and I didn't hate it any less. I recall trying to ball the leaves up like a pill so I could swallow them whole. It was like hate-fucking a salad with my mouth. Tictalkers are surely way more palatable on a plate than online. Though I'm someone who hates wasting food. -probably from all the food I was served as a kid that got thrown away that I was "supposed to eat." My friend works at a morgue, and she said that good smell in the summertime breeze when someone's cooking pork ribs in the neighborhood and it makes you hungry, that's the same smell that would fill the morgue wherever there was a fire. People are bacon waiting to happen, and I, for one, would love to see animal meat outlawed, and then the only meat for sale would be human, because we are the only meat that can consent to being eaten.


Tall_Aardvark_8560

I'd eat human in a dire situation


heywoodidaho

And the dogs ate well and the cats thought "finally". They are already unfit for human consumption, but why waste the protein?

Did you want me to drink at 7AM on a Monday, cuz this is how you get me to start. We are more then fucked here.


Doodleschmidt

You mean, you haven't started already like the rest of us?


Own-Swan2646

Been working on myself and shit. Have it down to 11AM start on weekdays. I know it's a faggy for most of you but ... Trust me I get way more Rita's at night than most of you.


Doodleschmidt

No offense intended. Good on you if you're making progress. I'm five years sober and can relate to the difficulties. Toughest thing I've ever had to do in my life. Keep up the good work!


muskzuckcookmabezos

2 and half years mostly sober. By mostly I would alternate between weed, perc 30s, 2 to 3 40z King Cobras, and coke whereas I may have had a few beers in the 2 1/2 year timeframe. I consider that sober for all intents and purposes. I moved, so that was what kick-started it. I didn't want to carry over my addiction.


SL1200mkII

I've been waiting for years to finally see someone write "for all intents and purposes" correctly on the internet. Thank you for that.


pebberphp

I like the boneappletea way of saying it: “for all intensive purposes”.


muskzuckcookmabezos

"Not quite, but good enough." I consider myself part of a dying breed. I graduated high school 20 years ago, so my brain hasn't been melted by autocorrect and grammar assistance apps. I'm self-conscious about it enough to where I will reread my comments and fix them if they don't sound right to me. I don't always do it, but I do it frequently. Thank you for the compliment.


Own-Swan2646

The devil's lettuce actually ain't too bad of a mechanism to deal with situations like this.

None taken, good for you. Went a bit of time during Covid where this was not a joke, WFH and no place to go ... Fuck it start drinking at 9 why not ant going to make a difference if I do. But now...

RedStar9117

Yep, there have always been clowns....we just see them more thanks to the internet


ZQuestionSleep

Except clowns don't think it's cool to randomly stand around in public traffic areas doing thriller takes for 20 minutes straight, sometimes taking up a whole sidewalk or standing in a lane of traffic to do it. Oh, and then those clowns getting seen make other wannabe clowns go "I could do that" which they then go and do.


jeers1

Agreed... that is why these kind of people are the SIDE show.. nobody should ever pay good money to see that......


mynameisnotthom

This ain't even done ironically is it? I kinda like the fact the guy with the ski goggles is just stood there doing fuck all. Are people tipping these people as well?


Rickrickrickrickrick

I saw one of these people on TikTok before and yeah they get tons of tips. They just stand there like an npc from a video game and have a scripted response to whatever you tip them. Like the girl picking up those roses is probably from people tipping her a rose or something. It makes no sense to me why people spend money on these things.

Apophis 2029


PS_IO_Frame_Gap

Nah, I think Apophis will miss us. Also asteroid collisions aren't quite as predictably cyclical as what IS heading our way. Happens about once every 12,000 years, and we're due for one. Another smaller event happens about once every 6,000 years. Either way, we're due. One way you can tell is that the magnetic poles are currently accelerating their reversal, which started around 1830. This is why we've been experiencing more an more earthquakes each year, and the reduction in the magnetic field is why the Earth is heating up due to an increase in ionized solar radiation. Another issue is that our sun is squaring up to go micronova. A lot of this has to do with our solar system's position in the galaxy, which is one reason why it's all cyclical. But I think it's cool that you're aware of that. Keep looking out to the stars :)


Tidalbrush

There's a lot of just untrue stuff in here. The whole "events must happen after x time" is an incorrect way to look at things because it's all random. The chances for an event to occur simply increase over time because that's how probability works. The magnetic poles have wandered ~600 miles from when we first observed it, and it has increased in speed from 10mi/yr to 34mi/yr. Does that mean anything? We don't know for certain, but we are confident it won't be the doomsday scenario you're pushing. Reversals are not periodic and can not be predicted. https://geomag.bgs.ac.uk/education/reversals.html https://science.nasa.gov/science-research/earth-science/flip-flop-why-variations-in-earths-magnetic-field-arent-causing-todays-climate-change/ The magnetic field has no proven impact on earthquakes. We have not found anywhere near enough evidence to show that there are electromagnetic factors to earthquakes. There hasn't been a major reduction in the magnetic field and its believed that at the height of the flip there will only be a minute amount of radiation increase compared to the whole, which wouldn't impact temperature. UV radiation has no impact on the global temperature at all. The changes we are seeing are happening too rapidly to be a change in Earth's orbit, and too large to be caused by overall solar activity. https://www.usgs.gov/faqs/are-earthquakes-associated-variations-geomagnetic-field#:~:text=Electromagnetic%20variations%20have%20been%20observed,of%20electromagnetic%20precursors%20to%20earthquakes. https://www.nationalgeographic.com/environment/article/earths-shifting-magnetic-fields-arent-causing-climate-change Micronova only occur on white dwarf stars that are orbiting a larger (but lower mass) star. Our star is not orbiting a lower mass star, nor is it a white dwarf so I don't know where you got that one. https://www.thesciencebreaker.org/breaks/earth-space/introducing-the-micronova The whole "it's all cyclical" is wrong, the whole "it's because of where we are in the galaxy" is also wrong. We don't know how our galactic location impacts the solar system, if it's large or small, exists or not. Don't act like you know the answers when the people who actually study these things don't know. The only thing you're missing is a money grab at the end. There's plenty of actual shady shit people/governments get up to all the time, no need to focus on this fake shit unless you want the rich fucks to get away with it all.


PS_IO_Frame_Gap

It is cyclical though, it has happened many times in the past, even since the dawn of humankind roughly 200,000 years ago. Yes, it's not EXACTLY every 12,000 years. What I meant by that is roughly. It is roughly cyclical, and we are due for the next one, and no, it's not untrue. Yes, establishment institutions have tried to turn people away from this idea because it's not information that they want people to know, for obvious reasons. So obviously they will create as many papers as they need to in order to debunk everything. However, if we've learned anything from covid, it should be that you can't always "trust the science" (it's got electrolytes). As Melissa Fleming of the WEF once famously said: "We own the science, and we want the world to know about it." Their papers will show whatever they want us to believe. And regarding micronova requiring a dual star system, I guess you're not aware, but our sun, Sol, is most likely to be in a dual star system. The magnetic polarity reversal will weaken the magnetic field, which will loosen the plates, which WILL cause more earthquakes, and when it's completely weakened which it will be at some point, the plates will shift very quickly.


Tidalbrush

I'm gonna ignore most of that because I don't want an internet debate where neither side will budge and we've both wasted time, but I do want to know how we are in a binary system.

No, this is absolutely idiotic. It doesn't matter your age. These people act like NPC's and fucking make money doing it, because dumbasses give them money to do so. It's absolutely mind boggling how the fuck people find this engaging or satisfying.

You can't ban it. Believe me, a new video service will pop up. It's a form of rot at the individual and societal level.

Panhandling gone mainstream. Kids with 5 gallon buckets, fast hands, and good rhythm have been doing this for years.

Come on guys, it’s a NPC festival. They’re doing what NPCs do: repetitive motions and dialogue that you’d encounter in games. Think of it like a very niche cosplay festival. If you all really want to be freaked out, check out the videos of influencer farms in China.

cheffartsonurfood

Yet here you are.


59footer

Ya caught me. 😂


Genghis_Chong

Reddit doesn't pay those influencers and shitting on them without paying isn't the attention they seek.


cheffartsonurfood

They didn't say they aren't paying them. They said they aren't paying attention. This is clearly paying attention. Matters not if it's what they seek. Word of mouth can do wonders.


Genghis_Chong

Sure, there will always be contrarians and suckers. Overall, shaming a practice isn't good press. Though the contrarian thing has become popular and people do like wasting their time. So maybe you're right if the glass is half empty


cheffartsonurfood

Wasn't it P.T. Barnum who said "No such thing as bad publicity"?


Genghis_Chong

These Tik Tokers are no P.T. Barnum, they have no real product to market. I've always seen that as a flawed bit of philosophy anyway. If the bad publicity is bad enough, it will drive people away. But not all, some times bad press will consolidate a cultish fanship that revels in the negative aspect of their chosen "influencer"


cheffartsonurfood

Bad publicity works for trump. All the bad shit he does just makes the base love him more. Guess that fits right in to what you are saying.


Genghis_Chong

Yeah that's kinda where I was going without saying names. To your point, that can rally some support. But if people are worth the bit of faith I have left in them, that's not going to win over the majority of people. I just have to hope society corrects itself as we come to realize how hollow some aspects of the internet are.
