What do people expect from an account named "nutty putty cave updates"?

[–] polle 2 points 1 hour ago

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.

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.ml 16 points 3 hours ago (2 children)

Is this real or a joke? I can't tell.

[–] MBM@lemmings.world 1 points 37 seconds ago

The fact that you have to ask says a lot about society /s

[–] P4ulin_Kbana@lemmy.eco.br 8 points 1 hour ago

Choose your path.

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..

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 4 points 1 hour ago

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

[–] teslasaur@lemmy.world 2 points 45 minutes ago (1 children)

Cause most of this community are posts that are serious. You can't blame people for getting confused when an actual meme shows up.

I was thinking the same. I was reading the comments and couldn’t help but feel like half of them think this is real…

[–] Serinus@lemmy.world 22 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

It might be. It's hard to tell the difference anymore.

[–] A7thStone@lemmy.world 46 points 17 hours ago (1 children)
[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 3 points 8 hours ago

For some reason I can hear it.

[–] EddoWagt@feddit.nl 17 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

I believe anything after the tidepods

[–] jacksilver@lemmy.world 8 points 12 hours ago

Yeah, that really lowered the bar for society.

[–] MutilationWave@lemmy.world 6 points 12 hours ago

Even the tide pods was like 95% a joke from Gen Z on the olds. Just a few people went through with it for shock value. I saw one guy try to smoke one in a bong, it was hilarious.

[–] underwire212@lemm.ee 1 points 8 hours ago

Any piece of information I see, especially the more official looking, I take seriously

Kids, don't play with too many knives.

[–] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 34 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago) (2 children)

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.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 20 points 17 hours ago

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.

[–] FuCensorship@lemmy.today 6 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago)

If we don't warn them, eventually we won't need to warn them anymore.

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 62 points 22 hours ago

Somebody wants to get hired by The Onion.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 66 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 23 hours ago)

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.

[–] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 5 points 15 hours ago

This could totally be a thing

[–] Nyxicas@kbin.melroy.org 14 points 19 hours ago (2 children)

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.

[–] Canonical_Warlock@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 19 hours ago (2 children)

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.

[–] y0kai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 13 hours ago

yeah if you haven't worked your way up, there's no way you're going to have the callouses for a 9mm

[–] frostysauce@lemmy.world 6 points 14 hours ago

Yeah, you gotta build up your immunities.

[–] socsa@piefed.social 5 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

I have unironucally heard a person state that a can plinking .22 round would not penetrate his skull at 100m.

[–] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 15 hours ago (3 children)

I'm not even sure a .22 would go that far

[–] socsa@piefed.social 10 points 14 hours ago

It definitely will. I used to shoot all sorts of random shit out past 200m as a kid when we went to visit my grandparents who had a giant plot of land in the middle of nowhere. I have a very traumatic memory of my brother shooting a turtle he put up on a rock across the pond and watching it bleed out, so I am 100% sure it will both go that far and punch through bone.

[–] MutilationWave@lemmy.world 2 points 12 hours ago

Folks, they're joking. I appreciate your commitment to the bit.

[–] y0kai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 13 hours ago

It says on the box that a bullet can travel for up to 2 1/2 miles

[–] urheber@discuss.tchncs.de 23 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours ago) (5 children)

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.

[–] emeralddawn45@discuss.tchncs.de 14 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] beansbeansbeans@lemmy.world 2 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Isn't it a Chinese company? They probably make up the majority of the demographic.

[–] emeralddawn45@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 14 hours ago

Well yeah but thats a lot of people globally. My point is just that something doesnt have to be widespread on tiktok for it to stull reach a significant amount of people.

[–] pearsaltchocolatebar@discuss.online 8 points 21 hours ago (2 children)

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.

[–] flamingo_pinyata@sopuli.xyz 10 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

True, tiktok is amazingly good at creating bubbles. Once you're classified you'll never know there are other bubbles out there, there's very little overlap.

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.

[–] thisbenzingring@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 18 hours ago

It always makes that NOFX song The Idiots Are Talking Over pop into my head

🎶The industrial revolution, Has flipped the bitch on evolution🎶

[–] GraniteM@lemmy.world 8 points 21 hours ago

Poe's Law is in full effect.
