yknow it kind of annoys me when people say "ohh gen alpha is so cooked their little minds are so fried from all the tiktok and brainrot and and the everything else!! we're so done as the human race!!" because its literally what every previous generation has been saying about the younger one. it was tv, then videogames, now, brainrot or something i guess. and it has always been "oh its for SURE this time" and it has always been "oh but this is SO much worse than the previous thing!!". there IS no "for sure this time". we i mean gen z had youtube poop and whatnot. they'll make it. and really its the same with the slang, their brutish 67, our sacred 69, etc
@chfour when i was a kid I used to be obsessed with watching smg4,,(basically super mario 64 shitposts made in gmod) which is probably the closest thing I can think of being considered 'brainrot' at the time.., and i turned out okay (?)
@chfour tbh its not like the kids these days are watching stuff that can genuinely damage someones psyche like liveleak (somewhere that I should NOT have had access to as a kid lol)
@TeensyTinyKobold omfg i watched them too LMAO its so awesome how far theyve come since
@TeensyTinyKobold half gmod half sm64 shitposts to multiple fully captioned fully dubbed in multiple languages very successful animated series is CRAZY
