I find it funny news. I don’t get why so much people hate it like their personality depends on it

It's filled w/ MTX that preys on young people's sense of FOMO.
Oh, you're talking about Skibidi Toilet? Yeah, I really don't care one way or another about that.
I don't hate Fortnite in and of itself, but I do really hate how because of its success, damn near all multiplayer FPS games have become some kind of Fortnite knock-off battle royale.

Before we criticize the zoomers let's remember all the gmod slop we consumed as teenagers
Who knows the connection between badgers, mushrooms, and snakes?
zoomers
Hey pal, don't blame us for this shit, most of us are in our twenties
Hey pal, I'm also in my 20s and skibidi toilet is at least mildly entertaining.
It's actually really good! It's a classic case of things getting popular and cringe fans. Undertale is another big example of this, at least the first few years it was out. I guess Minecraft too, at times.

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."
2, they managed to wring a sci-fi story out of "stupid video about singing heads in toilets."
It's unironically one of my favorite examples of "show don't tell" storytelling.
I keep thinking of Abe Simpson's line about "I used to be with it, then they changed what it was." It's not weird and scary yet, but there's a "huh, that's different" factor.
I got the fact that it's a SFM YouTube poop after I looked it up. I get why the kids like it and they keep making more. It's all very cozy and internet.
What I don't get is corpos trying to put skibidi toilet into things. I get why they're doing, child money. But like how do you integrate something as abstract and absurd into your own IP? But like in a way that kids will still think it's cool and not like dumb corpos trying to get on the bandwagon. Or maybe it's not working and we're just hearing about the attempts before they fail.
I'm sure without context ytmnd.com seems insane.
And also with context.
Can't argue with that.

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.

Speak for yourself. The only mod slop i consumed was Tribes and Unreal Tournament
Speak up please I can't hear you over your creaking hips
We had salad fingers
I, on the other hand, would like to happily inform everyone that I still don't know what this is beyond seeing those words together, and if I play my cards right, I might never!
Skibidi Toilet is a series of short form videos using assets from Garry's Mod and/or Source Film Maker. It features the camera heads (protagonists) fighting the toilet heads (antagonists). The toilets can be defeated by flushing the toilet. The series features an escalation of violence and weapons on both sides along with at least one additional faction joining.
It's actually pretty good. Like a lot of things the youth are into it's their obsession with it that's annoying moreso than the content.
I'm more surprised that it wasn't already there.
It would be easier to count the character skins that are NOT in Fortnite.
I asked a seven-year-old girl why he's in the toilet. The answer - he fell in. You're welcome.
Thank her for me
We got skibidi toilet fortnite before GTA 6.
WOOOOOOOO!!!!!! (i don't watch skibidi toilet and have never played fortnite)

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.
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.
How on earth is this confusing? Skibidi toilet is like one of the biggest memes right now. Fortnite has practically everyone and everything in it nowadays.
Yeah they have everything, that’s the idea.
ST is a Govt psyop designed to distract, debase, and demoralize the youth
Please tell me this also comes with a new map set in Ohio.
Fortnite was already fucking stupid 🤷♂️
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.

I saw skibidi toilet in the toy store the other day, how can it be so popular?
How is different from Crazy Frog or Billy Bass? Dumb memes turning into toys or dumb meme toys have been around for forever.

have you actually tried watching? I keep seeing complaints from people who never gave it a chance just because it looked weird
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
