I’d settle for getting rid of ‘tiktok speak’.
‘So my brother uses a lot of dr*gs and I’m worried he’s going to buy a pewpew and unalive himself’
That kind of brainrot. It’s infecting the rest of the Internet.

Oh its bad but even worse since “unalived” was still too spicy so its now things like “alt F4 life” or some shit. I like the creativity, but the censorship levels make me want to scream.

Alt F4 life has some creativity I can appreciate. Until everyone repeats it far too much. Tiktok just seems like the same few things repeated endlessly. I hear it on my partners phone. Oh, this 5 second soundtrack again that I have heard 2000 times before. How original… And then again when the video loops and repeats.

And the voice! The same one over and over.

It’s not just the censorship on TikTok. They can do whatever the fuck they want with their shitty ass platform.
What bugs me is the people who adopt that EVERYWHERE. Like hey guys we’re on the grown-up Internet now we can stop talking like 9 year olds.

you’re mistake is you assume human beings aren’t slightly smarter parrots with opposable thumbs.
if you assume this, you’ll be much happier and less angry at how stupid people are.

hahaha
I’m not angry, just sad.
A baby human is a blank canvas. Within some genetic limits, you can mold it into the next Einstein or a total leech of a couch potato who does nothing but scroll 24/7 and spends their life as a leech on society.
And so we (American society) wax on extensively about how our kids are the most important thing, but then we systematically fail them at pretty much every available decision point. Usually with good intentions, but fail nonetheless.
TikTok etc are an example. We want to be Very Sure kids aren’t exposed to VIOLENCE or PORNOGRAPHY (god forbid little Timmy see a boob before his 18th bday) so we create things like TikTok and YouTube Kids. And we censor the hell out of them- god forbid little Timmy hear someone discuss death or violence. We feed Timmy a diet of 30 second videos that are ‘Kid Safe!’ And then we have no idea why Timmy grows up with a 45 second attention span and no understanding of the world.
Meanwhile some mother trains her kids to be self-reliant and lets her 12yo walk a quarter mile to school and she gets the cops up her ass for child endangerment.
