    I’m basically just trying to say that the vast majority of users are very, very stupid, compared to a power user or actual dev.

    Just think of everyone who bought beanie babies, funko pops, stanley cups, now I guess its ‘Nee-Dough’ or something.

    Thats much closer to ‘the average user’ than you or me.

        Hell those people use an iPhone and nothing else lmao.

        Extremely correct, and why I will never stop laughing at Mac users.

        Nee-Dough:

        Its… basically a squishy cube, presumably made of something resembling silicone.

        Tiktok has been going apeshit over it the last few days, people getting into fights at stores to buy these things.

          Ahh I get it, knead, it’s a stress ball, or cube as it were. I mean tbh looks like a fine stress ball but sounds like it’s having the opposite effect so far lol.

            Yes, the irony is certainly in great supply…

            sigh

            I mean, Tiktok has entire genres based around not using Tiktok, around lowering the level of engagement and use that you have with social media and just digital things generally.

            They make and post videos on Tiktok, about not using Tiktok.

            Its essentially perfectly absurd.

            Tiktok is basically the ‘how much money would someone have to pay you to kill someone’ moral hypothetical, writ large.

            The answer is that, with sufficient operant conditioning, human morality and logic is worth a few bucks a month, on average.

            Gotta get them updoots, dopamine!
