Is this real or a joke? I can't tell.
The fact that you have to ask says a lot about society /s
Choose your path.
Reminds me of this guy who called a store and convinced the owner to call the police on a random customer girl and give her a strip search
Reminds me of the guy that promised people money for a study over Skype and them people zapped themselves by putting fingers into outlets. But they were adults not kids.
What do people expect from an account named "nutty putty cave updates"?
Personally I don't think it gets dumber than the "Crashing Out" challenge (Film yourself as doing as many crimes as possible in the dumbest ways as possible, and try to get as much cash as possible from the views before you're banned from the platform and arrested)
Seriously, one guy's basically in the South Korean version of Area 51 after trying to see how many countries he could do this in..
If he was American, he could have just stayed home and done a lot of things that are federal crimes, like accidentally blocking a toilet in a national park or threatening a circus.

This book is so good.
Why are so many people taking this seriously? Lol
Cause most of this community are posts that are serious. You can't blame people for getting confused when an actual meme shows up.
They are ?
Any piece of information I see, especially the more official looking, I take seriously
Why is Lemmy so boomer-brained?
Add "stabbing yourself in the face" to the ever-growing list of things people didn't use to be so stupid they had to be warned not to do.
It's political correctness gone mad.
You can't do anything now. The liberals won't even let you slit your own throat. It's madness.
Nah, it's just a legacy of British colonialism, it's forbidden by the state to harm yourself in UK (half joking, because it really is a crime to harm yourself consensually)
If we don't warn them, eventually we won't need to warn them anymore.
Love how we've fully monetized kids doing stupid shit for attention. This has been a revenue stream we've left untapped for far too long.
Somebody wants to get hired by The Onion.
Kids, don't play with too many knives.
I love how tiktuk is so stupid, people actually believe that this is a TREND, when in reality nobody even knows anyone did this (if its even real, which its probably not) this just reminded me of the "set yourself on fire challenge" which supposedly was VERY trend on tiktak. I asked my friends that use the dumpster and no one knew what I was saying.
Apparently Tiktok has like 2 BILLION(!!) users. As crazy as that is, if even 0.01% of users is doing some dumb crazy thing, thats pptentially 200 000 kids injuring themselves or whatever when they wouldn't otherwise. Its not a trend among the majority of users, but it is a trend that was spread by tiktok.
There's many different sides of tiktok, and there's a chance that your friends just haven't seen it (not saying it's real).
For example, I'm sure they haven't seen fur suit construction videos.
Give it time and they'll have the "shoot yourself in the face with a 9mm because we believe 9mm are pussy guns" challenge.
And they'll do it.
Well, obviously you don't start with 9mm. You start with .17 and work your way up to 22 short then 22lr and so on. If you jump straight to shooting yourself in the face with a 9mm of course you're gonna get hurt.
yeah if you haven't worked your way up, there's no way you're going to have the callouses for a 9mm
Yeah, you gotta build up your immunities.
This could totally be a thing
I certainly hope this isn’t real. If it is, though, we’ve clearly held Darwinism at bay for far too long and maybe we should just start letting these things play out.
It always makes that NOFX song The Idiots Are Talking Over pop into my head
🎶The industrial revolution, Has flipped the bitch on evolution🎶
Poe's Law is in full effect.
Also known as the 'Thinning the Herd of the Weak and Stupid' challenge.
can't wait for the next challenge, "give us your daddy or mommys DOD password or stab your grandma in the armpits"
"Survival of the fittest is taking a new turn; tonight at 2200!"
What kind of tiktoks are people watching? I sometimes watch tiktok and never was able to see those stupid trends. I only see memes, car content, cartoons and some goofy stuff.
The Elliot Smith challenge
Hardcore motherfucker. The realest one. I wish he hadn't done it of course. If he could've been saved I can't imagine how incredible his music might have become. He could have been a great advocate for mental health.
Yikes 😬
It's OK I donated to Wikipedia this morning
