TheLarryRoom - How do these kids spend hours on TikTok / Insta

[Dorian Breh]

First off yes despite not even being in my thirties yet clearly I'm

I'm so out of touch my mind is consistently blown by these young whipper snappers

I take the train a few hours and I see these gen Z lunatics spend two hours watching short ass vids. Two hours.

They ain't making they own vids. They ain't shyt posting on internet forums.

I look over and shorty watching someone move deep fried green beans around a bowl with chopsticks.

The decrepit post industrial urban wasteland of the American north east is at least twice as interesting as watching some other person's plate on a tiny ass screen

Someone make it make sense

How do these cats spend this long entertaining themselves with these short ass videos

Tiktok raw af. It's like channel surfing or sm for ADHD mfs. It's not just rachet and goofy shyt on there. It's actually alot of very informative stuff on there. Just try it. I used to say the same thing...then I found myself watching my boy for you page w/ him for like an hour lmao.

@Dorian Breh these apps have algorithms that make the viewing experience addictive.
Its going to a buffet that knows your tastebuds and keeps serving food that you enjoy.

Yea tiktok is a no go for me, I dont think I need anymore social media, plus I got bigger things to worry about that mindless content looped constantly.

Learning how to create products, tthings or have skills that compliment TikTok > TikTok

TikTok's algorithm is the best i've seen. You get to see completely random shyt and the promoted/ad posts aren't that instrusive. And i'll say it again, if you think Tiktok is just for those stupid dances and cringey influencer shyt then you're wrong. I thought the same thing just because that's what gets promoted for whatever reason. But yeah, TikTok reminds me of when youtube had that "most recent" page and it was straight random shyt on there.

Yall really be acting like mafukkas didn't do frivolous shyt in every era

People had pet rocks in the 60s

Mafukkas use to collect pogs in the 80s n 90s

People are being conditioned to have the attention span of goldfish, damn how much shorter is entertainment going to get?

Yea but brehs wasn't actively collecting pogs for two hours on the train! There was no mobile pogs collection station on the train or however they were getting them...

It's not about the frivolity of it - looking out the window is frivolous. I just can't figure out how brehs can sit and watch that shyt for so long.

If they were watching a full length feature pornographic film I'd understand but these lil ass fifteen second clips? Nah

Mafukkas was watching cartoons longer than 2 hours and collecting pogs was the most stupid
U gave away money for cardboard that had no value

Social narracotics word to @SagaAsad

Right but a two hour cartoon ostensibly has a continuous plot and story throughout the two hours

And there's plenty of anime brehthren here still watching cartoons heavy in 2022
