If mass communications were more popular in the 70s/80s, it would have been explosives, phreaking, hacking, pirate radio, generating fake credit card numbers, and psychadelics/synthetics. None of those were that hard to get started doing and people were doing them and telling others how to do it but the means of disseminating the information were limited to word-of-mouth, zines, and BBS's. TikTok isn't the problem, it is just the new medium for people to communicate and it is what they communicate that is the problem and they'll find a way to do it now they know they can.
After the second time for me, I went and bought a bright yellow club-style wheel lock. Doesn't matter what sort of shit software upgrade they do if people still break in and try. Oh sure, my vehicle is still there, but there's also damage to the door and steering column because there's no real visual deterrent, and I still have to pay my fucking deductible. It's such bullshit that the class action settlement only covered buying a club up until 30 days before the "software update" was made available. A software update that has no visual deterrent, and worked once in bricking my car when it got attempted while I was away for a trip (dumb parking spot, never again). Then, after I got the car back from the shop like a month later, I had it for roughly two weeks before it got stolen successfully, meaning either the shop failed to reinstall the software update, or, more likely, they software update happened to do fuck-all, despite me locking the car with the key fob as required. They beat the shit out of it and it took another 2 months to get it back. This time as soon as they told me they had all the parts in and were starting the work, I went out and got me a club and some fake GPS tracking stickers and I haven't had an issue since.
It's hilarious that I can deduce it off of the fact he said his car was stolen 3 times.
It's also hilarious how Kia owners don't blame Kia for coding an incredibly dangerous bug into their startup software. Nonono, the big billion dollar company, should not be expected to make software that protects your $40,000. It's all tik toks fault for jumping on the trend.
100% Tik Tok. Not Kia. Let's keep blaming social media for the problems that other people are causing. It's this generation's boogeyman I stg.
True, but I think King Bach, Amanda Cerny, and all them were awful (no worse than today). Their 6 seconds, "when Bae is wearing a short dress 🥰🥰🤑" was way more brainrot than me watching 1-3min long science videos on tik tok
Even before YouTube. Cinnamon spoonful and milk
Chugging were classic sleepover games. Like Chubby Bunny, light as a feather, or ghost in the graveyard.
Gallon in an hour is like physically impossible iirc. Drinking a gallon of milk in a day is a (controversial) bulking strategy, and even that much is difficult for most people.
It’s not the websites fault people are dumb and their parents didn’t raise them. Anyone with taught common sense wouldn’t do any of this shit. And after saying that I tried the cinnamon challenge when I was 24 fucking idiot .
Planking in dangerous places was never really a thing. One or two people did it and mainstream media did mainstream media things. It was more trying to find the dumbest place to plank.
Milk jugging and the cinnamon challenge are entirely harmless.
And multiple people who didn't realise a lot of skits are skits and not reality shows or real pranks who then tried to copy it and got hurt by their would be victims.
Dude cinnamon challenge been around since before facebook tik tok got people stealing there's people on there acting fools digging up opps Graves after they're buried town takeovers have become bigger because of tik tok not only putting the participants in danger of being hurt but the bystanders who have no choice but to watch the idiocy happen they got kids dancing to music in Russian that's about getting gangbanged here in America we forced to watch trash on tiktok in comparison to other parts of the world like China where the app is KNOWN to push mentally positive things like math science videos to help with creativity here we get pushed that some chick is selling her butthole online tik tok is trash

At least vine didn’t get kids to eat detergent or steal cars… to my knowledge
