It's kind of messed up that after the leaders od the toilets are killed the viewer is compelled to go in a d kill off the remai ing toilets rather than claiming their twrritory or whatever. Like a take no prisoners, leave nobody alive stance. (ep 66)

The cops being part of the skibidi toilets is what I don't really get. There's no cops of any other species. Is this supposed to be pro "whatever group you're in" instead of the military run by the state?

I'm not sure what the viewer donning headphones is suppoaed to signify. The buffed out enemy toilets wear them too. It blocks the effects of loudspeakers that don't care about who they damage on the battlefield. I guess loudspeakers are a tenporary ally and not the same tribe as the viewer?

Now it's just a bunch of shots of the viewer killing toilet heads with gun and getting a thumbs up salute for their good work. With rows of other camera heads doing the salute beside you.

i hope the viewer is supposed to realize that the tv heads are the bad guys here.

In episode 41 it starts being in landscape mode. People that got baited by the shorts are now watching this on their own time and are invested in the lore. Lots of themes of "big brother will kill those toilet heads for you". Useful as a slur to use at whatever "the enemy" is

in skibidi toilet # 35,this is when the viewer gets enlistedto join in killing the toilets that live in other cameraheads heads using a gun. They also solidify an "in group" hand gesture of a thumbs up. Useful as a dog whistle.

Hot take: #SkibidiToilet is full of military and pro war propaganda. Though it could just be a reflection of the authors culture rather than something done on purpose. For some thinking in military propaganda is like breathing clean air.

Jeeze I feel really bad for the toilets tho. The camera heads are basically genociding them using state violence. Though they paint the toilets as the scary ones to justify why it's okay to reduce then to vermin.

it's interesting how it makes the viewer associate with the camera heads and how the viewer is just abother camera seeing it happen. Similar to how within our society we viewers are being reduced to cameras filming each other. In a aense we are but we have such different views on the global set of all things that may be viewable on one instant.

okay yeah the toilets are the bad guys. Keep that up your sleeve when interacting witb a nephew or whatver this holiday season. #SkibidiToilet

i wish I could turn my living rokm tv on it's side so I could appreciate the format fully. I hope they release a 4k version some day. Or even a blueray for us olds. The story is very political and I'm still not sure whether the author wants us to side with the toilets or the camera heads.

I believe Skibidi Toilet's success is due to it fully embracing the "tiktok/youtube shorts" format while being episodic storytelling which can interleve with the algorithm. Kids are into it because it is art that is on the cutting edge of media formats. The fact that it is silly and the actual story is honestly secondary. Though maybe I will appreciate the store more as I get deeper into the lore?

I love open source because when stuff doesn't do what I'd exp€ct I can find the exact threas tracking why (updated alnost a year ago). Software dev is hard and prioritising dev time is hard.

Low key kinda miffed my "holiday plans" are completwly thrown off my covid. Hopefully the connections from the conference will be worth all this heartache :P

k! We should find a way to get the skibidi toilet guy onto the #Fediverse via peertube or some shit. I guarantee we'll replace centralized social media within the generation. Especially if it got to be exclusively on the fedi?!

i really wish mastodon had a "randomized" timeline so I would get to enjoy totally random stuff rather than what people I follow are thinking of just today.

Socialization can be hard because people are coding in English and body language whereas I am usually coding in JavaScript :P

My hands are in so much pain but I must shitpost!
