I think Skibidi Toilet is a fine meme. We used to watch the same shit back in 2009. As long as it keeps the youngins off TikTok I'd say it's a win.
6Gotta admit, that’s pretty creative.
And the kids are rolling their eyes at it. Skibidi is no longer cool.
72All I can think is that it has a very....
.... feel to it.
14I dunno, I think it's a bit more clever and less desperate than that. The teacher knows the kids are saying it a lot. Getting them to even lightly associate it with their learning objectives will help at least some kids academically. Mnemonics are stronger when they are memorable and repeatable after all.
There is no way the teacher thinks this will make learning "cool". And the fact that co-opting it speeds up the process that skibidi will become "uncool" is probably just a fringe benefit to the teacher. Really, it's a masterclass in psychology, a win-win.
1I have coined the term hifellowkidsing when I struggle and fail to relate to teens. As in "I heard the neighbor kid loudly bumping what sounded like Eminem so I totally hifellowkidsed him and asked whether or not it was. He rolled his eyes and ignored me". My only comfort is I was a horrible snot at that age, so I have karmically earned every belabored sigh and humiliated grimace.
1Absolutely, lol.

It was never cool
11Heh, my generation’s slang seems so boring compared to other generation’s. Rad, Totally, Awesome, etc. The words were almost straight out of a dictionary. Earlier in the century it was Cool Cat, bee’s knees, dogs, flippers, speakeasy, but as we approach Gen X it gets mundane. Now we’ve got weird shit every influencer and Vtuber tries to make stick so they have a “thing” to stand out with.

H - Hardly any variety in vocabulary.
I - Isn't your best effort .
O - Offensive to anyone with any sense of taste.156Y'all motherfuckers been reading my fanfics, huh?

Let's make one for reading comprehension:
- Take your time and read the whole thing.
- Observe the central points.
- Investigate the context.
- Let assumptions go away.
- Examine the overall discourse.
- Take your conclusions.
78Have you varied the kinds of sentences you use?
That's rich coming from someone who can only write questions.
28My writing has its gyatt out for the rizzler.

This is actually great. Keep 'em engaged.
64The word “skibidi” makes me roll my eyes. Every generation has their own slang, though, so whatever.
29fr fr, no cap
12Skibidi toilet is a gmod/SFM series. This isn't zoomer culture, it's millenial culture. It's zoomers appreciating our culture.
1No. Just because it uses GMod to make doesn't mean it belongs to millenials. The first video was released in February 2023. That's definitely gen z/alpha thing.

In all seriousness... Skibidi toilet is probably one of the egregious examples of brain rot in our society. Gen alpha is truly cooked.
9Yeah, ok. Badger badger mushroom mushroom. My spoon is too big, my anus is bleeding. Charlieeee, the magical leoplurodon charlieeee.
Every generation has this nonsense. Don't pretend we didn't.

It is pretty interesting to see the viral videos of 16+ years ago and how they're both similar and different to what makes the rounds today. I'm sure there's video essays and retrospectives that would do a better job of analyzing them than me but I'm just here to link the originals. Cheers.
6Look at him now disappearing a cow Marjory Stewart-Baxter, you taste like sunshine dust Godzilla took a bite out of Optimus Prime Like Scruff McGruff took a bite out of crime we are here to protect you from the terrible secret of space
skibidi ain't got nothing on the Newgrounds / Something Awful brainrot.
8True, we cooked too.
4I'VE GOT A BIG BAG OF CRABS~
1At least skibidi is a quasi commentary on stuff. As opposed to salad fingers or the quiznos rats. (I know salad fingers has actual deeper lore)

It's a millennial meme. Gmod edits have been around for years and years. Gen alpha unearthing and worshipping it because they don't understand is weird but not exactly new.
Now making a movie about it directed by Michael Bay? That's true Hollywood brain rot.
7ok mr. what does the fox say
12Don't forget happy tree friends, Charlie the unicorn, anything on ebaumsworld and newgrounds. Millennial humor really isn't better.

Too be fair perhaps were just getting old and the world is changing to become unfamiliar to what we used to. This is probably what the boomers thought of us I bet. It's just funny how every generation seem to hate the next one.

So the last 'I' suggests that your writing should be possible to improve later.
Despite being the 'B' Best Effort and properly 'I' Investigated.Seems like, after putting your best effort into making it, you need to put in extra effort to make it such that it is imperfect, so as to leave room for improvements.
15That B, I and I are basically the same thing reworded three ways so they can spell the word.

This belongs in a toilet. In a good way.
19my writing is usually toilet.
9But skibidi means bad.
7But bad, as everyone surely knows, means good.
22
20Both bad and good mean skibidi.
14Yeah, but it doesn't matter.
"Is your writing bad?"
Still gets the point across.
6Not necessarily.
6I find this statement to be pretty yeet.

O is for opple! P is for prange! A is for Aree! Sikibi dibi deeee!

1Too early for skiing. And Bidis are an awful smoke.
