I feel so old and disconnected with the youths. I really don't get this trend of filming yourself randomly dancing. But it's clearly a thing, and I cannot really understand it, at all...

No one understood why kids in your day were cow tipping and taking the lords name in vain, Jebediah, but you still had fun, right?

So you're saying it was a CCP op to promote Trump?

nah all the things we did as kids made perfect sense!

this I am prepared to accept.

I also think TikTok may be super duper evil and terrible for society, but my verdict is not quite settled on that point yet.

Useless. We're doing a FI intervention about your obvious and crippling gambling addiction if you keep this up and in keeping up FI traditions, all interventions are pants optional.

You've been warned.

in unrelated news, jonas just developed a gambling addiction

I'll say that, yeah.

 

[MindzEye]

I agree.

 

[MindzEye]

I'll say that, yeah.

Yeah, I was only half joking. If the tiktok algo pushes it, it's defacto CCP approved.

 

[zeke]

ah

One thing I'll say about today's kids is that they are using their phone to make their own content. Sure, 99% of it is shit but it's still better than what we did which is passively watch the same repeats hours per day.

and dancing is good and should be promoted. people who don't dance are weird.

people make fun of tiktok, but it's a pretty good sample of what younger people are thinking and care about....and stupid dances and trends

I dunno likely a product of my age but my teenage years weren't really spent with so much times in front of screens and on apps.

like our hang outs were typically not technology based.

what young people care about on tiktok seems much less stupid than what old people care about on facebook.
