How the hell did I miss these? Caught up on it now, amusing. Reminds me of the SFM Thomas the tank engine (the biggie smalls version) videos from a few years ago.
Ok. Which one of you has been annoying the teacher?

Anonym00se was a favorite SFM channel of mine back in their heyday.

Strange question maybe, but what percent of Lemmy is young enough to have a teacher? I’m the old man now (34). Seems like college was yesterday

How do I keep my salad dressing from separating? I’ll make a nice vinegrette and by time I’m eating it it’s just oil on top of lemon juice.
Technus@lemmy.zip 7 months ago
I’m not really into cooking, but I’m familiar enough with chemistry to know that you need an emulsifier of some sort.
Mustard, as recommended by the only other commenter at time of writing, seems to be common for salad dressings.
Another recommendation would be to simply try to prepare your vinegarette closer to the time that you’ll actually need it.
Egg yolk is another common emulsifier, though it depends on if eggs are safe to eat raw where you are: as an American, I was shocked to learn that it’s actually really common in Japan to break a raw egg yolk over rice dishes to add protein and flavor, because raw egg yolk is disgusting to me.

Try adding a bit of mustard
Syd@lemm.ee 7 months ago
Whip it, whip it good.
Also it really depends on what’s going in your vinaigrette and technique. An emulsifier really does help.

Why does you let your wife have sex with other men right in front of you?
Technus@lemmy.zip 7 months ago
Cause it’s hot. Next question.

I’ve been told (by a zoomer) all the zoomer love for the series is ironic. Do you think that’s true?
Technus@lemmy.zip 7 months ago
Every new generation has some cultural element that’s valued simply because it confounds old and out-of-touch people.
I wouldn’t be surprised if a lot of Zoomers only pretend to like it ironically, but I think underneath that there’s always going to be at least some genuine interest. The exact same thing happened with Bronies a decade ago: started as a meme, then grew into its entirely own subculture, distinct from both weebs and furries.
From what I’ve gathered, Gen Alpha seems to be a lot more into it than Zoomers though.
Personally, I actually really enjoy the series. I was drawn in by the surrealist and absurdist humor that I’d known from other SFM artists like anonym00se, and then stayed for the surprisingly engaging story. It’s actually pretty entertaining, and I think it’s actually a great case study in visual storytelling, because with only one or two exceptions, it’s presented entirely without dialogue or wordy exposition.
Opisek@lemmy.world 7 months ago
I’m a zoomer. As far as I’m concerned, this series is none of our business. That’s gen alpha territory.

How did Marilyn Manson remove a rib to suck his own dick. What did he do with that now spare removed rib?
Technus@lemmy.zip 7 months ago
Mirroring the story of Adam, Satan took the rib from Manson and used it to create a wife for him. Unfortunately, that wife was Amber Heard, who left him immediately.

Ripley’s has it I’m pretty sure.

Do you think people who order steak cooked well done are monsters or psychopaths?
DrPop@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Seeing as one of those is my brother is say psychopath.
4am@lemm.ee 7 months ago
Trick question, there’s no “or” about it.
Technus@lemmy.zip 7 months ago
I try not to pass judgement over others for personal tastes because I’ve felt the sting of that plenty of times myself.
I’ve never really been into steak, personally. To me it’s just a giant, boring slab of meat carried entirely by the fat content and the seasonings put on it. Most of the time, I’d rather have a burger cause there’s more variety in flavor and texture.
That being said, I think part of the reason for this is because my mom always cooked the hell out of any meat she served us. I think she was just deathly afraid of foodborne pathogens.
Since then, I’ve had a few steaks that I’d consider to be decent or pretty good, and I always order them medium rare, but I’d still rather go for a burger or ribs most of the time.

The appearance of humans rapidly declines over the course of the series, implying that most or all of them (besides the mysterious Agent who appears several times) have been killed off.
The Skibidi Toilets are also very aggressive, with many episodes ending with them attacking and eating the camera, which is presented as a first-person view, implying that they eat people.
Skibidi Toilet 4 shows people sitting on toilets before a Skibidi Toilet bursts into the room, at which point the view zooms out to show that all the people are now Skibidi Toilets, suggesting this is possibly how they reproduce.
Thus, it’s very likely that there’s no human plumbers left to do the job.
The main protagonists of the series, the ubiquitous Cameramen, are sometimes shown using plungers as weapons, however.

What’s it about?
Technus@lemmy.zip 7 months ago
It’s a series of YouTube shorts (it may be on TikTok but I wouldn’t know because I don’t use it) made in Source Filmmaker (SFM), mostly using assets from Valve Software’s Half Life 2.
The series features the eponymous Skibidi Toilets, which are human heads that are shown popping out of toilets and also sometimes urinals or bathtubs. The heads stare ominously at the camera and sing the Skibidi Toilet song with comedically and anatomically impossible (to a deliberately absurd degree) facial and neck animations.
From the Skibidi Toilet wiki:
The series starts out with a surrealist bent, with third-person omniscient cameras and swooping crane shots through sterile apartment and commercial buildings, usually panning to a Skibidi Toilet which sings its song before attacking the camera and the video ends. The first few videos are variations on this theme.
As the series goes on, it develops a more coherent storyline, showing giant Skibidi Toilets appearing in a human city and attacking the population, and the military attempting to fight back but being overrun.
Shortly, an army of humanoid robots with CCTV or sometimes movie cameras for heads (the Cameramen) appears and starts to do battle with the toilets. Whether they were created by humans or just arrived on Earth to fight the toilets from another world is not clear.
It’s shown early on that the Skibidi Toilets can be defeated simply by flushing the toilet, which causes the head to comically spin before getting sucked down into the toilet, and this is the Cameramen’s primary mode of attack. Physical damage to the head is also usually sufficient to incapacitate or kill the Skibidi Toilet, though the largest Skibidi Toilets are highly resistant to attack.
The series transitions to disconnected vingettes from the perspective of one of these Cameramen, showing their ongoing escalating war with the Skibidi Toilets. Larger and larger Skibidi Toilets with more advanced weaponry keep appearing, and the Cameramen build a large Cameraman Titan to fight them. Later, other factions of humanoid robots, the Speakermen and TV men, join the fight on the side of the Cameramen.
The series ebbs and flows, alternating between triumphant victory and devastating defeats for this Alliance. The episodes get longer (broken into multiple shorts to fit the format) and have more complex action.
We see that Skibidi Toilets have a hierarchy and use their song not only as a battle cry but also to communicate with each other. And later, the series shows them >!infighting which leads to a splinter faction appearing that is hostile to both them and the Alliance, with hints that these new toilets are even more dangerous as they have advanced weaponry and are able to speak English.!<
There’s hints that the series is escalating toward an epic final showdown, but it’s already had a few and I’m wondering where it’s all going to end. That’s why I say it’s surprisingly engaging.

Did you watch the “Shorts” or the “Full screen” series (or both)? Which would you recommend?
Technus@lemmy.zip 6 months ago
The full screen series is easier to watch because you can just load up a playlist, and there’s even compilation videos of a whole “season”, but it can be a little jarring sometimes because Youtube mutes some of the copyrighted music in the full videos.
Shorts apparently fly under the copyright radar, however, likely because most of the content on the platform is set to copyrighted music.
