    That’s the journey I went on. The phrae “skibidi toilet” started happening around me, and so I looked up what it was, and I understood it immediately. It’s SFM Youtube poop. I was there 3000 years ago when that was invented, I remember nope.avi and pootis.

    I find two things remarkable though: 1, SFM is still relevant after all these years and 2, they managed to wring a sci-fi story out of “stupid video about singing heads in toilets.”

      It’s unironically one of my favorite examples of “show don’t tell” storytelling.

        I keep thinking of Abe Simpson’s line about “I used to be with it, then they changed what it was.” It’s not weird and scary yet, but there’s a “huh, that’s different” factor.
