Getting strong “MTV made my child addicted to the devils lettuce” vibes from these comments
From the article:
The scientists analyzed 109 chroming-related videos on the social media platform that collectively had over 25 million views.
Billion user platform that’s popular with young people has young people interested in easy to get drugs. Won’t someone think of the children
I mean… that’s a problem, isn’t it? That it’s getting them into inhalants?
I assume you are not popular at parties. 😁
Edit: oh god, you’re the dude with 50,000 comments in like a year. Nevermind.
I don’t tend to go to parties where children are using inhalants, and you’re right, I probably wouldn’t be popular there.
N2O is pretty awesome.
Right up until you suddenly die of a brain aneurysm because your dumbass thought it was a safe legal high. There is nothing awesome about that.
if usually short-lasting, high, but long-term use can lead to complications like brain damage
Are they talking about Tik Tok?
No, this is less harmful than TikTok.
6 or 1/2 dozen really.
Chroming?
This is exactly where my mind went. Thank you stranger
How about don’t let your kids on a shitty social media platform to begin with. Besides it being a farm for data for the Chinese, it’s been shown via various studies the platform is like crack for your dopamine system.
I was forbidden from having a MySpace account. It didn’t stop me.
We all know how teenagers always listen to their parents and never find ways to use technology without their parents knowing.
I sure wasn’t dialing up to BBSes at 3am after my parents grounded me from using my modem. Nosir.
Just because it’s possible doesn’t mean it’s not worth the effort.
I would say that most teens would find getting on one of the most popular teen spaces on the internet, which their friends are almost certainly using, worth the effort.
Back in my day we called it wippits obviously others not me.
Chroming is just nitrous oxide?
That seems like a silly name.
the canisters are chrome, makes more sense than being named after the brand of paint but yeah it will always mean huffing paint to me.
Thanks ticktock for making nitrous expensive again. My nitro coffee maker is too expensive to use again.
How much is it per cup?
Nitrous is the same price near me as it’s been for 15 years, but now I can get big tanks instead of small canisters!
Wait, that’s a machine a regular person can get? I love nitro coffee!
Edit: I see nitro cartridges $3-$5/each. How many cups will one cartridge make? Are they hard to get?
Gains popularity? I’ve been seeing hundreds of those things discarded around the schools for years now
Jesus fucking christ, what even are we anymore man?
Chimps. We have always been chimps. We are returning to monke
I don’t understand tiktok. Last trend i heard about was people cheating banks to get free money (aka fraud) and now they’re doing inhalants as a trend? How many brain cells does the average tik toker have?
Yes i know my age is showing. Get off my lawn!
No we are just going back 20 years for fashion trends, make everything chrome. Spray chrome can be inhaled is whats happening
I think the running conspiracy is that the platform is a psyop to get idiots to try doing idiotic things they wouldn’t otherwise get exposed to.
From what I’ve heard, the Chinese version of the app’s recommendations algorithm leans towards educational content instead of topics literally trying to tear at the seams of modern society.
Media is only going to highlight and even sometimes propagate the truly horrible trends.
Remember the “Milk Crate Challenge” which resulted in horrific accidents?
Idk man, at some point it’s just Darwinism.
before tiktok we had to rely on our friends sketchy older brother to tell us new ways to get high.
Same as it ever was.
TikTok is an app that’s not completely controlled by YTs. So we should expect to see a bunch of sensational headlines demonizing the company until it gets banned.
At least kids don’t get to smoking them cigarettes like they used to’
Everything old is new again
Remember huffing? Pepperidge Farms remembers.
I remember huffing gasoline, butane, Freon, and super glue back in the 90s. It’s a wonder I can breathe at all these days, as well as coherently string more than two words together.
We need legal access to shrooms.
Taxed and regulated IV DMT could do more for humanity than any other singular act of government.
Ah yes. Witness them, dying for clout, shiny and chrome.
Dissapointing
Mediocre
Ah, I think you’re right. Thanks!
