I watched five seconds of the first video and it had the lady going "Then we pour into our Doritos bag" and I stoppedDon't you dare trash the walking taco
Is the video taking said tiktoks seriously? Or is it deriding people who try to use said obviously comedic videos as reasons to ban tiktok?
Doesn't matter if it's rage bait or not. A lot of kids see them on there, same way they see then on YouTube for 5 minute crafts, try to copy them, and hurt themselves.
I'm some cases, severely. It's a matter of the platforms not taking things seriously and coming down on that content. Do you know how many people hurt themselves by microwaving eggs?
Shits crazy. Some are stupid and have no one to blame, but a lot of kids see or hear about it and try it, not knowing better. It needs to be pointed out, so platforms will actually do something. If they don't, then yeah, government agencies will end up getting involved.
I've seen videos from the third channel and unfortunately, Senta is right. Kids, and adults, try this nonsense and sometimes have bad consequences. Some of these videos are harmless, but others have seriously harmed others.
Again, it comes down to parenting.So every child should know every danger and every parent should predict every encounter? Are you saying you never, in your entire youth, did anything other than what your parents instructed you to do? What about the kids with shit parents, are they just SOL?
If your kid doesn't understand how to prepare eggs, why are you, as a parent, allowing them to access the eggs?
Bad parents like to use things like Tiktok to excuse their bad parenting, because everybody loves a scapegoat.
When I was too young to know how to cook with eggs, my parents made it clear I was not to touch the eggs, so I never tried, Youtube be damned. That's what parenting is.
What about the kids with s*** parents, are they just SOL?
The people who seem to think you are able to monitor kids 24/7 are so obviously not parents.
I would hope people have common sense to not try these.
Parents don't teach common sense anymore because they can just blame the internet, and go "You clearly don't have a child if you expected me to teach them not to set things on fire!"
It's wild.
...If a kid has shit parents, then yes, it's the fault of the shit parents.So how does this help those kids? I guessing your response will just be, "well it's shit parents responsibility".
What argument do you think you're making here?That my only concern is the outcome of those vulnerable to the issue at hand.
Do you realize how puritan we would have to be to make up for shit parents, completely? It's called personal responsibility.I don't think it's puritan that we place warning labels on hazardous materials. Parents didn't know the dangers of lead paint, leaded gas, asbestos, cigarettes, and about million other things beyond their purview. Vaccines are recent example of how misinformation, intentional or otherwise, can cause confusion, and thus harm.
Shit parents deserve to be punished as shit parents, you can't shift the blame to fucking Youtube or Tiktok.Because the shit parents likely won't be the ones paying those consequences. My interest isn't about punishing shit parents. I might more interested in harm reduction.
You appear to want to give said shit parents an out to blame something else. Why? Do you care to explain that?
I only see people making fun of this kind of stuff.
You don't have to monitor your kids 24/7 to teach them things like "Hey, don't fucking cook shit when I'm not watching."
How is this such a wild concept?
If you don't feel your kid understands how to properly cook things... Don't let them cook stuff if you're not around. And if they do, that's your fault, not Youtube's.
So how does this help those kids? I guessing your response will just be, "well it's s*** parents responsibility".
Uh huh.
Imagine thinking telling a kid" Don't do a thing" and actually believing that they'll listen 100% of the time.
I don't think it's puritan that we place warning labels on hazardous materials.
..There literally are warning labels, though. On almost everything. Including eggs.
Again, what do you think you're arguing?
I'm arguing that you should not let kids on YouTube, you know, like I explicitly said.
Why does youtube get a pass for this and worse but not TikTok
..There literally are warning labels, though. On almost everything. Including eggs.I'm curious as to how you think that warning label got on those eggs.
Again, what do you think you're arguing? Eggs have labels on them that say "cook eggs until yolks are firm."
I mean if I try to teach a kid not to do something, and they don't listen to me..Yes, I'm going to blame me, not Youtube. I'm not going to pass the blame. What are you arguing, exactly?So are you saying you're gonna teach your future kid not to chug alcohol anally? Or are you just gonna assume that scenario is implied in your "don't play in the street" talk? cuz if you don't that's pretty lazy parenting of you. Don't tell me that's absurd, because a full grown adult, full of personal responsibility and years of experience died of just that.
...What do you want me to say? Yes, it absolutely sucks that the kid has shit parents, but first and foremost, the responsibility for teaching them is on the parents. You can't blame Youtube just because their parents sucked. And yes it absolutely sucks if their parents suck, I wouldn't wish that on anybody, but that doesn't change anything. There is no universal answer, so I'm very curious what you expect to be done, here?Thoughts and Prayers it is then.
That's kind of how life works. It's not like those kids would listen to "warning signs" either.Agreed. Most of them can barely read so maybe we try shapes and colors.

Wait, are you saying not to chug alcohol anally is an "absurd" thing to teach? I'm so confused. Though, to be quite honest, I feel like I wouldn't normally ever even think to chug alcohol anally, anyway, and I certainly never thought it was a good idea, based on videos, or friends, or anything, so I'm... Extremely confused where this example came from.Actually the "absurd" part was Dude predicting that scenario as possibility. The example comes from Dudes fallacious argument that teaching your kids not to microwave eggs is some common discussion a parent will have with their kids. And having said discussion will guarantee a child to totally be averse to all potentially hazardous actions. Most of us had talks about drugs in general and still how many here can say they never tried them?
Though, to be quite honest, I feel like I wouldn't normally ever even think to chug alcohol anally, anyway, and I certainly never thought it was a good idea, based on videos, or friends, or anything, soThat's the point. Many of the things we're discussing are things no one actually thinks will happen. We can't even conceive of some of the things our kids will unfortunately participate in. Yet, every year we hear the same kind of story we have since before I was born.

I don't think that was his argument at all. His argument was to just teach your kids not to cook anything, period, if they don't know how to, unless you're around. Which seems logical to me?
EDIT: To be clear, this is logical to me because my parents taught me "Don't even touch the oven unless we tell you to." And I didn't, because I had no idea how the oven worked, anyway, so I never even tried because, you know, my parents told me not to, and I knew I'd be punished if I didn't listen.
Thing is, that doesn't stop all kids. Fear of punishment works great on some kids, other kids not so much. People who don't have kids often expect kids to be a whole lot more reasonable and rational than they actually are in reality. For instance, I don't have a lot to worry about with my kid in the kitchen, she's not the sort to mess around in there, that said there's friends of hers that you need to watch like a hawk. It doesn't all come down to the parenting, you even end up with siblings where you have one that's responsible and another that's wild, you cannot discount a kids personality which has far more influences impacting it than just the parents.
