  • I legitimately think meme culture brain rot is actually dumber though. Think about what kind of shit you quoted as a kid and young adult. Beavis and Butthead, Office Space, Cheech and Chong, Pulp Fiction… A lot of it isn’t exactly high art but it at least has the standard elements of conflict in fiction, or expresses some vague social commentary, or requires a functional attention span to comprehend a plot, or even synthesize themes.

    Skibidi toilet has none of that. It has no point to make. It has no world to build. It’s literally just random shapes, colors and noises on a screen. The “episodes” are only a few minutes long and even within that constraint there is nothing resembling continuity at any scale.




  • The part I hate is how many overconfident internet technicians will be like “well ackshually the metaphor isn’t that far off” completely missing the very important difference between an information channel and a power channel and what the capacity limits are for each.

    For example, free space is a pretty great information channel, but it absolutely sucks for reliably transmitting fluids.









  • Yes, this post is a perfect example of why standard bike components meant for human power are not meant to handle this much power, and why these illegal mopeds are causing a massive spike in injuries and inviting a ton of regulation on what should otherwise be a revolution in micro mobility. Basically, this is why we can’t have nice things.
