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

[–] DieserTypMatthias@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 hour ago

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

[–] feedum_sneedson@lemmy.world 2 points 3 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 1 points 1 hour ago

Thank her for me

[–] sp3tr4l@lemmy.zip 8 points 10 hours ago

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

[–] FeelThePower@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 11 hours ago

i will be getting this.

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

[–] Walk_blesseD@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 4 hours ago

zoomers

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

[–] MirthfulAlembic@lemmy.world 7 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 1 points 3 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

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."

[–] TheFriar@lemm.ee 6 points 11 hours ago

We had salad fingers

[–] Crafter72@lemmy.dbzer0.com 16 points 17 hours 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 19 hours ago

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

[–] stardust@lemmy.ca 40 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 21 points 19 hours 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.

[–] BeigeAgenda@lemmy.ca 32 points 1 day ago (3 children)

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

[–] jerakor@startrek.website 7 points 8 hours ago

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

[–] agent_nycto@lemmy.world 8 points 19 hours 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 4 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago)

No it shouldn't.

I am also serious.

[–] Caboose12000@lemmy.world 19 points 1 day ago (4 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 28 points 21 hours 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

[–] fsxylo@sh.itjust.works 1 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago)

It looks like something I would have mildly chuckled at when I was 12.

[–] Comment105@lemm.ee 13 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 1 points 10 hours ago

The first 2 episodes are before the narrative starts.

[–] UnhingedFridge@lemmy.world 12 points 19 hours ago (1 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?

[–] NOOBMASTER@lemmy.ml 3 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

It's all because of that damn song sample!

[–] Comment105@lemm.ee 1 points 18 hours ago

The dancing fat Turk

[–] BeigeAgenda@lemmy.ca 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Right the meme is well aged and starting to smell a bit funky, it's time for the geezers to look at it. 👴

I'll give it a watch.

[–] blindbunny@lemmy.ml 4 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

That's the spirit I thought it was weird until I dated a teacher and we watched like ten episodes and I was like yeah ok it's good.

[–] BeigeAgenda@lemmy.ca 4 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

I have watched Skibidi Toilet - Season 1 [FULL SCREEN] my main thoughts are "cool use of source engine", I then watched a random one and at least it has different content so i'll watch some more of it later.

For me the initial clip is a bit meh, but the world building of the random episode looks interesting.

[–] blindbunny@lemmy.ml 7 points 19 hours ago

The lack of any dialogue kinda makes me feel like I have to pay attention otherwise I'd have no clue what's going on.

Yeah I initially wrote it off as absurdist source engine 2010 yup engineer videos. But there's quite a bit more nuance than that.

[–] TriflingToad@sh.itjust.works 69 points 1 day ago (2 children)

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

[–] GBU_28@lemm.ee 24 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

[–] Comment105@lemm.ee 7 points 1 day ago

Tim cooked (it's poisoned)

[–] rosa666parks@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I played the very early single player Fortnite when I was messing around with unreal 4 back in the day. I thought “this is cool” and never played it again, and now it’s one of the biggest games in the world I never saw it coming.

[–] NoForwardslashS@sopuli.xyz 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Because the single player fortnite was completely disappeared after they fully pivoted to making it a cartoon PUBG.

[–] logan_hero@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It's still top 20 by player count, despite being the only paid game mode and getting like 2 updates a year with some QOL and bugs every update

[–] NoForwardslashS@sopuli.xyz 3 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

I was wondering what you meant by Top 20 until I checked their website. I thought it was just still BR with some variations. It's basically Roblox now.

[–] logan_hero@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 19 hours ago

I used this third party website tho. As it displays player count graphs and other things for each """experience""".

[–] Walican132@lemmy.today 45 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Similar target audiences right? I’m ok with this, I’m glad that kids have games to look forward to like when I was young. Just because ST isn’t for me doesn’t mean I can’t be happy for the people who will be happy with this.

[–] nul9o9@lemmy.world 25 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

This video from tale foundry touches on this.

Let kids be kids, and enjoy their lore like we did when we were young. It's just getting wierd because people can cash in on it easily.

[–] Walican132@lemmy.today 2 points 14 hours ago

Really interesting video thanks for sharing.

[–] p03locke@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 day ago

It’s just getting wierd because people can cash in on it easily.

Yep, I remember the old South Park episode about "Internet Dollars" something like 15 years old, and suddenly, people are figuring out how to do just that.

[–] Infernal_pizza@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago (2 children)

They’re already making a film about it, this was inevitable

[–] ours@lemmy.world 6 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

With Michael Bay of all people. Sounds like something out of a comedy sketch.

[–] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 3 points 13 hours ago

Exploding toilets? I'm there!!

[–] Syntha@sh.itjust.works 5 points 23 hours ago

That project has been abandoned

[–] dumbass@leminal.space 18 points 1 day ago (2 children)

That animation is shit, it's slow and doesn't have the weirdness the OG has. You ruined a shitty meme fortnite, well done.

[–] Comment105@lemm.ee 3 points 1 day ago (3 children)

It would require them to individually custom animate every face's 3D mesh to it's absolute extremes.

If it were to be implemented properly it would probably have to be available only for the default skins and a small selection of popular skins. And that's if they even have the tools ready to push facial animations like that at all, idk if there are limits to the current rigging that would need to be addressed, idk how they'd do it tbh.
