several phone calls

and horribly loud waiting music

[tame sparrow]

the music…..

in the worst quality possible

[chrome garnet]

I'd be happier with nggyu

Daily Question | If you could go back in time to change one thing, what would it be?

[ashen wadi]

Hmm I'd go back in time and change my best friend's mind with several 100 tries to leave her toxic ex

[cold cosmos]

ngl I'd like to go to middle-age (if that's the word) and let them use whatever technology they want from the antiquity
wonder how advanced things would be if that happened

[chrome garnet]

i'd try and help lgbtq+ rights

idk how but i'd find a way

[inner mauve]

i would tell to indians to not be too kind and stop enemies coming in

[pastel tendon]

I’d go back and invest in bitcoin and be the next Jeff Bezos 😎

[sacred bramble]

I wouldn’t go back in time to change anything, I’ve seen too many movies about how it messes everything up

[inner mauve]

if you change the past, it'd change how you live currently

[sacred bramble]

That’s what I just said lol

[inner mauve]

yea ik

[nimble yacht]

that's honestly a good idea

[deep isle]

Idk mistakes gotta be made I guess

I’d probably quit the apprenticeship though

Useless bullshit

But then again maybe I’m not where I am now If it wasn’t for the apprentice ship

[tepid linden]

Would probably go back in time to tell smaller me not to make all the mistakes i made with @stray ivy

[stray ivy]

[tame sparrow]

Daily Question | What's your favorite holiday?

[nimble yacht]

As in what's my favourite holiday of the year, or what holiday trip have I enjoyed the most?

[tame sparrow]

fav holiday of the year

[inner mauve]

first day of summer holidays

[cold cosmos]

but I usually really like Christmas holidays

[inner mauve]

I didn't even have christmas holiday (it's on sunday)

[cold cosmos]

this Christmas I first celebrated on the 23rd with my parents and my brother, then on the 24th we went to my grandma's (dad's mom) for lunch, there was also my aunt and my cousin, and then in the evening we drove to my grandparents' place (mom's parents) and all my cousins, aunts and uncles were there (lots of people) and we celebrated

usually one of my uncles dresses up at Santa

and it often scares at least one of the kids which is hilarious

[inner mauve]

lmao

my uncle don't need to wear any costumes, he can adjust his face and even i get scared lamo

[cold cosmos]

LMAO

[nimble yacht]

Summer holidays

[slow burrow]

winter gang wya

L summer

I mean exactly why we needs holidays during summer

but winter is more enjoyable

here, at least

[nimble yacht]

I hate winter

I dislike summer, but it's better than winter

And Summer holidays over Christmas are longer

[slow burrow]

true but it gets like

50 degrees here

it is generally not very enjoyable personallu

[nimble yacht]

It gets 40 to 46 here

[slow burrow]

hot very hot

[inner mauve]

completely agree

[tame sparrow]

summer is the only season its enjoyable outside

[pastel tendon]

Hate summer, hate heat lol

Winter is the best

[tepid linden]

winter is the best for snuggling

[pastel tendon]

Best overall lol

[cold cosmos]

yea summer sucks it's way too hot
if i was in Sweden or Finland or Norway, idk anywhere up north, I'd prolly like summer but here it's horrendous

[tepid linden]

yeah i cant cuddle @stray ivy in summer

[pastel tendon]

I agree with that, I wanna live in Scandinavia too

[tepid linden]

[chrome garnet]

my favourite holiday was probably when I went to Nice last year!

[cloud walrus]

Sundays are my fav holidays

[sacred bramble]

Fave holiday is Halloween or Christmas

[chrome garnet]

[cloud walrus]

friday was one not now

[deep isle]

CHRISTMAAAAASS

i wish it would snow more though

[sacred bramble]

Here, take the snow that we have

Well it’s gone now but we get a lot of snow

Like a month after Christmas, very frustrating

[jade rock]

Summer 🔝

Far better than anything else

[thorny tundra]

the winter holidays da best

[tepid linden]

christmas with @stray ivy 's family

[sacred bramble]

I hate summer so much

Too many bugs out

[stray ivy]

Mosquitoes focusing me

The worst thing is global warming is making winter so hot that many summer bugs come out thinking it's summer and you get mosquitoes again but in fucking december

[sacred bramble]

oh we don't get that here, just gets extremely cold

[tame sparrow]

Daily Question | Which phone app do you use the most?

[tepid linden]

Discord

[chrome garnet]

Camera

[inner mauve]

YouTube or Discord

[stray ivy]

Discord and tiktok

[tame sparrow]

whatsapp

[slow burrow]

ew tiktok

imagine being on tiktok

repulsive

[tepid linden]

imagine being tall

[slow burrow]

at least im not slaved to 30 second videos

[stray ivy]

actually I don't get any cringe shit there

it's all memes and shitposting, and cats

feed is curated

[slow burrow]

to keep you enslaved

[inner mauve]

memes are good tbh

[slow burrow]

its how

the algorithm keeps you hooked

[inner mauve]

but yea i dont like tiktok

[slow burrow]

good

[inner mauve]

and there are too many alternatives :( snapchat, insta, yt shorts, moj, josh, etc

[stray ivy]

my tiktok is like my friends' instargams, all memes you just scroll down

[inner mauve]

but yt shorts have some good content

[stray ivy]

insta is literally the same as tiktok

[inner mauve]

i agree

[slow burrow]

i hate how every social app just integrated the idea of tiktok into them

like nycta said

basically every app is tiktok

[nimble yacht]

TikTok has better content than YT shorts imo

But Reels are even better

[inner mauve]

but in my region, all the shit are same

[slow burrow]

poor guy, country banned tiktok

[inner mauve]

almost everything is similiar, except people are different

yt shorts are full of cringe (rarely there's comedy)

[thorny tundra]

sure i agree all kind of of social media is bad but its soo integrated into our life's that there's no point in not using it

it decreases our already shit attention span

but still regardless of how bad it is we all still use it

[inner mauve]

agree

[tepid linden]

https://tenor.com/view/nerding-speech-bubble-pepe-nerd-gif-26077806

[inner mauve]

that is not clicking the keys

[sacred bramble]

I’d say discord

[nimble yacht]

YT or Discord

[cold cosmos]

Discord 100%

[ashen wadi]

Instagram

[pastel tendon]

Discord probably

[deep isle]

im a little scared to find out

choco tortillas

[stray ivy]

Okay yah this is war

[slow burrow]

reminds me of that dream where I came across a chocolate cigarette

weirdest shit ever

and I googled it the next day and

ITS A REAL THING

[tepid linden]

Smoking chocolate sounds as healthy as cocaine

[sacred bramble]

what. why the hell do you not like chocolate? more for us ig, but you are crazy

I thought you of all people would like chocolate, considering chocolate and peanut butter go so well together

[slow burrow]

yeah L cigarettes man

[slow burrow]

exactly my point

[sacred bramble]

ikr

[nimble yacht]

White chocolate is tasty I'm not even gonna lie

Also licking my best friend's foot was disgusting

[sacred bramble]

sorry what the hell?

[nimble yacht]

You read that right

[sacred bramble]

you are one strange cat

[nimble yacht]

Absofuckinglutely

I worked out what is in my opinion the best way to murder someone at 2 am a little while ago

[sacred bramble]

epic

[nimble yacht]

Also I worked out a good way to set fire to / blow up a school as well

[cold cosmos]

i'm interested

[cold cosmos]

Kev be like

[inner mauve]

chocolate is chocolate!!!!!!!!

both are good and does the same damage as well

[wheat wind]

[wheat wind]

i think for me its eating braised beef

disgusting

utterly disgusting

[tame sparrow]

Daily Question | If you had to describe yourself as an animal, which one would it be?

[wheat wind]

a wild tilasak

[nimble yacht]

Currently I'm a bull that's seen red because Xbox and GTA have had me waiting for probably more than an hour trying to join my friend

[wheat wind]

i would describe myself as a Chameleon. I smile all the time, i can blend in amazingly and people describe me as cute lol

but at the same time im rather something which doesnt fit in the line

so ye

i guess Chameleon it is

[ashen wadi]

I'm the cat in my pfp

[wheat wind]

apparently my Chinese Zodiac sign is Golden Snake

and ngl, i always felt like raptiles are my most favorite animals. Theyre something so different to what we usually know, yet even the smallest Reptile can be a massive danger by its own. Take for example the whole Lizard family

or the Cobras

[cold cosmos]

my dad used to call me a slug

not anymore (thank god)

but yeah im not sure what i am

could be a cat tbf, i often stay in my corner not paying attention to anyone

[jade rock]

Do I even have to say what animal I am?

[cold cosmos]

🐮

[wheat wind]

lmao

[jade rock]

Exactly

[reef atlas]

I'm just a big sloth

I slept like 13 hours today lmao

[ashen wadi]

Ew snakes

Disgusting creatures

[ocean kelp]

wdym, snakes are cute

I could have one as a pet

[wheat wind]

https://tenor.com/view/snake-cute-tongue-blep-snakes-gif-22109397

[ashen wadi]

Well they do look stupid like you

[ocean kelp]

gorgeous

[ocean kelp]

bruh

https://tenor.com/view/snake-gif-25925281

[ashen wadi]

Ew

[stray ivy]

No actually chocolate does less damage the darker it is lol

[stray ivy]

You what?

Omg this daily question

I'm about to unleash my inner furry

[nimble yacht]

You heard me right

[stray ivy]

Whyyyy

[nimble yacht]

Because why not

[stray ivy]

Fwb

For sure

[stray ivy]

I'd describe myself as a house cat

because I can sometimes be an absolute asshole but most of the time I want huggies

and a scientific study said all cats have autism spectrum disorder

perfect fit

[nimble yacht]

I think it's the other way around with cats

They sometimes want pets, but for the most part they'll tell you to get fucked

[stray ivy]

you're very wrong

[nimble yacht]

That's what Chloe's like

For the most part she tolerates me petting her

[stray ivy]

I was born with 2 cats in my house, grew up with another 2 diff cats, and now I have another 3, and none of them has ever attacked me

[tepid linden]

the white one literally rubs her head against my hand when im trying to sleep

[stray ivy]

all of them either love to be petter by anyone and love huggies, or they're scared of strangers and hide

but they never ever attack anyone

[cold cosmos]

lucky

[cold cosmos]

harmonie is like that

[nimble yacht]

That's so adorable omg

[cold cosmos]

she wants pets when im wearing nice clothes, just so she can leave hairs everywhere

[tepid linden]

and annoying

[stray ivy]

I wouldn't say I'm lucky, rather you're unlucky

[cold cosmos]

true

[nimble yacht]

Nah, just adorable

[tepid linden]

it is annoying at 4am

[nimble yacht]

But how

If Chloe woke me up at 4 am asking for belly rubs I'd be ecstatic

[tepid linden]

she wants them 24/7 thats the thing

[nimble yacht]

I want your cat

[stray ivy]

trust me getting waken up at 4 am to give belly rubs is nice the first time, the second, and the third

but every day it gets annoying

and she's like breaking everything she touches lmao

[chrome garnet]

a llama

[cold cosmos]

you spit on annoying people?

[tepid linden]

very british

[stray ivy]

lmao

[nimble yacht]

[sacred bramble]

Uhhhhhhh- no idea

[jade rock]

Big cock energy

[stray ivy]

i bet @wheat wind would describe as big foot

i mean just see main chat

[chrome garnet]

precisely /j

[nimble yacht]

There's actually an energy drink called Big Cock, I had it once. It was disgusting

[slow burrow]

what did you expect

[cold cosmos]

nice cock

[jade rock]

Was it white?

[deep isle]

I wanna be a bear

[ashen wadi]

I assume a teddy bear

[stray ivy]

dude I just watched a movie about a bear snorting several kilograms of coke and going on a killing spree, this hits very different

[chrome garnet]

I've seen the ad for that movie like a thousand times ahaha

was the film good?

[deep isle]

Omg Ahahaha

Where can I see this

[stray ivy]

it should be available on the cinema

it premiered on 31st i think

[stray ivy]

we loved it

[ashen wadi]

I want to watch it too now 😂

Sounds like my cup of tea

[stray ivy]

hahahahah

[jade rock]

That actually happened tho its not made up

I mean i dont know about the killing spree and all that but there was an incident were a bear snorted some coke that some drug smugglers dropped

[stray ivy]

yes i don't know about the killing spree either

i know the rest is real but idk if the bears reaction was real

[wheat wind]

no hay mañana para nycta

[stray ivy]

What?

U gonna off me in my sleep or smth?

[dusky acorn]

cocaine bear omg-

apparently its very good

[tame sparrow]

Daily Question | Who knows you the best?

[nimble yacht]

Either my mother or my best friends

Idk

Probably my mother though

[deep isle]

Hmmmmm!

Probably my closest friends

[reef atlas]

agreed, my closest friends probably know me more than I do

[cold cosmos]

Could be some of my friends, or my parents
They kinda all know different sides of me I guess

[jade rock]

Id say my mother

[woeful eagle]

Friends

[stray ivy]

Either my mom or @tepid linden

My dad? Not even close lmao

[tepid linden]

@stray ivy knows me the best

[chrome garnet]

@dusky acorn

[plush ore]

In what context is this question asking?

Friend wise, online, family, ect?

[tepid linden]

Its pretty simple

"who knows you best"

[nimble yacht]

Overall

[plush ore]

Ah

I would say probably my mom?

[dusky acorn]

Wot

[sacred bramble]

My besties- my mom doesn’t know the type of shit I do 💀

[nimble yacht]

Same

[thorn hinge]

Me

And maybe Kevin

@slow burrow this piece of balls

[slow burrow]

who are you

[wheat wind]

joe mama

[inner mauve]

myself

[thorn hinge]

stfu

nobody likes you

[thorn hinge]

[dusky acorn]

Ohh

[chrome garnet]

"U dur"

@dusky acorn what

[dusky acorn]

Daily Question | What is your opinion on banning Tiktik?

[sacred bramble]

eh

I don't have it, I just watch compilations on youtube (like art tiktoks)

[tame sparrow]

Daily Question | What is your opinion on banning Tiktok?

[sacred bramble]

I think the rules need to be stricter tho, so maybe it won't be as bad as before

[nimble yacht]

@tame sparrow why'd you change it twice?

[tame sparrow]

typo

[sacred bramble]

haha "tiktik"

I didn't notice till you said it

[nimble yacht]

Yeah same

I reckon that everyday people should be allowed to do what they want in "the land of the free". But I do think that it should be banned on government devices

[sacred bramble]

"reckon" I can tell you're a true aussie lmfao

[tame sparrow]

ooh this is a good one

[sacred bramble]

I agree too

[tame sparrow]

Didnt think of that

[nimble yacht]

Not just for security reasons, but because Government employees will waste their time on TikTok instead of working

I can't figure out how to say it well

[sacred bramble]

nah you said it pretty well

[nimble yacht]

I slept like shit last night

[sacred bramble]

"pretty well" no idea if that's even proper english

[nimble yacht]

Nah that's proper

[sacred bramble]

oh dude I kept waking up randomly, seeing the time, and going "fuck yea, it's not 7 am yet!" and fell back asleep, I feel like some of those were dreams, I have no clue

[nimble yacht]

Oh yeah I remember you saying something about that

[sacred bramble]

yea loll

[nimble yacht]

In one of the other channels

[sacred bramble]

I was very confused

I remember only one of the times: 12:18 am

[nimble yacht]

I find it ironic that the 11th freest country calls itself "the land of the free", despite the fact that they're trying to ban people from doing something that's totally allowed in the 165th freest country iirc

[sacred bramble]

wait what are they banning people from? and wth is the freest country?

very curious

[nimble yacht]

Switzerland

We rank 8th

[sacred bramble]

ooo cool

[nimble yacht]

Ah yes, they're banning people from Switzerland

Seriously though they're banning TikTok again

[sacred bramble]

how is America the 11th but calls itself the land of the free 💀

pfft-

not surprised, really

just- ban facebook first

[nimble yacht]

It's an absolute shitshow

[sacred bramble]

or anything to do with zuckerburg, don't like him

[nimble yacht]

None of the government officials have any idea what's going on in the world

[sacred bramble]

interesting

[tame sparrow]

Goverment should have a rule that they shouldnt allow retired grandpas in it

[sacred bramble]

I was told that china knows everything about me, and others too, I was like "why tf would they need to know that"

[sacred bramble]

fr tho, facebook especially

it's irrelevant now

[nimble yacht]

You'd be surprised how much of your info is freely available to anyone that wants it

[sacred bramble]

well shit-

[nimble yacht]

Google, Discord (Discord is CCP funded), Facebook, etc

[sacred bramble]

well, good thing I have better things to do then to find someone's address

plus, no idea how to do it sooooo

even if I really wanted to, I can't

[tame sparrow]

tencent owns part of discord which goes to say the things we say here are prolly logged as a data in somewhere

[nimble yacht]

Yep

[sacred bramble]

prolly

[tame sparrow]

but cant really hide from it. somewhere there is a server with lovely tags of all the things weve said like it or not

[sacred bramble]

ah, well people are gonna think I'm really fuckin stupid with all the shit I've said 💀

[nimble yacht]

Discord has never had a profitable year of business through official streams, Tencent which is CCP controlled funds them

[nimble yacht]

I don't act that Australian tbh

Sometimes I do but mostly I don't

[sacred bramble]

I act like- I don't even know anymore

[nimble yacht]

You act like rice, I'm gonna say Chicken, and cucumber wrapped in seaweed

[sacred bramble]

HAHAHA

ah yes

..chicken sushi?

[nimble yacht]

Yeah

That's what I get

Chicken Katsu with cucumber

[sacred bramble]

Ah, nice

[nimble yacht]

I usually get 2 rolls

[sacred bramble]

I get the stuff with fish

I can eat a whole tray, it’s not too filling for me, but it’s super good

My pfp do look a bit crusty

Old salmon

[nimble yacht]

I don't think I've ever had a platter before tbh

Gtg shower

[sacred bramble]

K have fun, don’t drown

[cold cosmos]

I do think tiktok should be restricted
Like it shouldn't be allowed on work phones at all unless you work in media probably (not only to protect data, but as they said, to avoid wasting your time)
And age restrictions should be made stricter
But that goes for every social media

[nimble yacht]

Ngl that's better than my answer I reckon

[wheat wind]

ban TikTok, no mercy

[slow burrow]

L tiktok

no mercy

• any sort of 30sec reel content

life was much better back when these werent a thing

[slow burrow]

https://tenor.com/view/sus-gif-21986545

[ocean kelp]

Gonna put that in the typo dictionary 💀

Also yes I'd love to have tiktok banned

[chrome garnet]

i don't see what's so bad with tiktok

obviously people like paul breach should be banned

but other than that it's all just dumb videos with no harm imo

[jade rock]

I would ban TikTok without a second thought. The amount of harm it does far outweighs the good imo

[pastel tendon]

They should ban tiktok because it uses your home WIFI /s

[cloud walrus]

TikTok shouldn't exist in the first place, it produces the most cringe and ill mannered weirdos in the entire world except China so a ban is justified to stop the mental illness from spreading atleast

like I installed it to watch some cat vids

and the next day some cringe people doing weird things are on my feed

like there's adults on the platform acting more childish than a child

[tepid linden]

https://tenor.com/view/nerding-speech-bubble-pepe-nerd-gif-26077806

[cloud walrus]

so if someone suggest there should be age restriction or whatever, it won't work, the cringe will exist, and the amount of mis-information spread through tips and life hacks is just unbearable, mfs come up with their own medical solutions for everything for clout and now imagine someone having a heart attack, and the person right next to them has seen a vid on pouring some lemon drops in his mouth to stop the heart attack, would do that instead of looking for professional help to help the patient, and there's just much more that's wrong even music production tips wise where people make it a rule to do this and that otherwise you're doing everything wrong like what?????? There's never rules to make music, just some go to techniques that might help someone and then there's the same techniques that might never help someone in need so a BAN is a MUST

[tepid linden]

Mis information isnt just from tiktok

[cloud walrus]

I've done my surveys

mostly it's tiktok or insta

but more tiktok

[tepid linden]

Sure buddy

[stray ivy]

i have to disagree with anis here

tiktok can indeed be very cringe and all

but you can train your feed to not show you that stuff

my feed and ozza's feed have been curated to only show cats, memes, and some food in the case of ozza, some airplanes in my case

iirc the tiktok ban started because of some rumours that it was stealing information or smth?

idk i feel like banning tiktok for that reason would be unfair since other companies like google and facebook steal much more information and no one says a thing

• the congress clips I've seen are ridiculous

they put a bunch of boomers who had no clue what a phone is

so they asked the most stupid questions

[nimble yacht]

The U.S. government is an absolute joke

Makes the Morrison government look not shit

Btw Morrison was our Prime Minister a little while ago

[tepid linden]

Spain's government is a roast battle atm

Instead of focusing on laws and the state of the country they just roast each other

[nimble yacht]

Sounds like my kind of government /hj

I think they should keep each other in check but they should try to form a useful government instead of bickering

[thorn hinge]

The whole point of the trail and the idea to ban was to understand if tiktok was a risk to security

Sure the content is cringe but u bring to feed the thing u would prefer to watch

The banning of tiktok shouldn't be based on some personal preference

If it does I needed cuase a security risk it should be

I mean the whole trial was a joke so

If anyone saw it would have been brain dead

[stray ivy]

"does tiktok use the camera to record videos"

it was so stupid

[thorn hinge]

"Does tiktok have access to the wifi"

[stray ivy]

and when they said it was creepy that tiktok team watched the videos on their platform to validate if it met the community guidelines

[thorn hinge]

And that one lady who kepy saying yes.. 😭😭😭

[stray ivy]

if i put my phone on airplane mode, can tiktok fly?

yes or no

[thorn hinge]

Yes

[stray ivy]

ah yes tiktok definitely talks to the airplane

[nimble yacht]

Absolutely

it's probably the biggest problem with TikTok imo

[stray ivy]

i think if we're gonna ban tiktok for stealing info we should also ban apple, google, microsoft and facebook

google has several gigabytes of data per person

[nimble yacht]

Apple doesn't track people for ad targeting, Google's stuff is usually useful, same with Microsoft, I agree with you on Facebook though

[stray ivy]

google's stuff is useful?

google knows from where and to where you go, which route you take and if you went on foot, by car, etc

google knows what stores you passed on the street

and basically has a full gps track of you

even if you put your phone in airplane mode

[thorn hinge]

This

[stray ivy]

they track you

[thorn hinge]

U agree to terms and conditions and so they could track u 😂

[nimble yacht]

But I think that in the country that calls itself "the land of the free" people should be allowed to do whatever the fuck they want

[thorn hinge]

U havw the whole info available to you u get what data any comp ay has on u just by requesting

[tepid linden]

Shooting schools

[stray ivy]

then they give that info to "oh look you passed a walmart on your way to work for 5 days in a row" so walmart ads start popping on your phone

[thorn hinge]

Only if u turn ur location on 24/7 or if any app is using it in the background

[nimble yacht]

That's like arguing that a car isn't fast because it has uncomfortable suspension

I never argued they don't track you

Because they absolutely do

[stray ivy]

yeah but like why is that useful

I'm arguing that's not useful

[nimble yacht]

But their stuff is useful more often than not

[thorn hinge]

And tiktok isn't an exception the only problem is that tiktok is based of a Chinese company bytedancw

[tepid linden]

I don't mind the Chinese knowing i like cats memes and food tbh

[thorn hinge]

Haha its that they are scared they might use tiktok to spread misinformation and stuff

[tepid linden]

Facebook is the den of misinformation

[thorn hinge]

And steal potential data from users that could be threat to the US security

Indian banned tiktok for the same reason

[nimble yacht]

The ad targeting is how they fund everything, and though I would say there should be a paid version of Google's services without targeting (there is Google One but idk if that stops the tracking), the stuff that you get in return is 100% worth it for the vast majority

[thorn hinge]

It's funny because they don't mind it since its us based company

[tepid linden]

Yup

[stray ivy]

yeah but you should be able to cut the targetting, what bothers me is they track you even on airplane mode

[thorn hinge]

"We can steal data how much ever we want we can't let anyone else do it"

[tepid linden]

If its about stealing data banning tiktok

[nimble yacht]

Yeah pretty much, they turn a blind eye because it's U.S. based

[tepid linden]

Then we should ban pretty much everything

[stray ivy]

you know the difference between tiktok and facebook, and why tiktok has this mess rn and facebook doesn't? because facebook is not chinese

[tepid linden]

Oh no the chinese know i love cats

[thorn hinge]

I have done my fare share of research on security breaches and us is said to have used zero days of thier own company's to find things on other countries

[tepid linden]

They are gonna invade now

[nimble yacht]

That's pretty much exactly what I argued my guy, but what I said was actually economically viable, since they need to pay for R&D, servers, etc somehow

Okay lemme edit that to be a bit more chill

[stray ivy]

lmao it's okay haha no need

[nimble yacht]

Aight

Also if they're going to argue that it's bad for teens' mental health, then they should absolutely ban iPhones

[tepid linden]

cute cats is like the only thing keeping me sane

[nimble yacht]

Since iMessage plays off of Android users getting excluded from iMessage conversations so they buy an iPhone

[stray ivy]

and instagram. it's so pathetic that some teens have depression because they didn't get enough likes on their latest instagram pic

[nimble yacht]

I'd say that social media should remain a thing to connect with friends with

That's what I use it for

[stray ivy]

yeah

but many people get super worried about likes and stuff

the fact that ppl have unalived themselves because they didn't get enough likes makes me think where the fuck are we going

[nimble yacht]

Not teens putting cringey stuff on the internet for everyone to see and then getting depressed because they only got 1 like

[nimble yacht]

I worry about it as well

[nimble yacht]

Hang on I'll send you some pictures of Chloe (the adorable floof that I have as my pfp)

[stray ivy]

[nimble yacht]

I can send them to you as well if you want me to @stray ivy

[tepid linden]

she can literally walk up to my pc to see them

[stray ivy]

yeah literally

lemme just go over to her side and see

omg she's so cute

and apparently loves to flop on the ground xd

[nimble yacht]

Yep

She's adorable

She's nearly always just chilling on her side doing nothing being cute

[tepid linden]

typical cat

[nimble yacht]

Smh

Why are they never not cute

[nimble yacht]

As a very wise cat owner once said: "if not pillow, why floofy"

I'm not 100% sure if that's the quote

I couldn't find the quote

[stray ivy]

lmao pretty good one tho

[plush ore]

I don’t think it should be banned personally

Maybe just try and limit the app, but not ban it downright globally

And the jury didn’t really have any good questions or scenarios for the apps reasoning either annoyingly, but that’s besides the point and don’t wanna get into that

I just kinda don’t want the app banned because it also has provided so many people with a life and career too

Somehow

[thorn hinge]

Point

Despite it all trying to put proper restrictions would be the better choice

[plush ore]

I think it’s also a very rushed move and they should have taken more time on it and get more people to look into the app like direct developers that can understand stuff

[thorn hinge]

Also a very big point

I doubt they even had the brains to do that

[plush ore]

Instead of having someone who don’t know anything about apps or anything of the sorts

[thorn hinge]

Not even the basic ideas

[plush ore]

Right?

[plush ore]

Really though lel

Like, the CEO of TikTok had to go into DETAIL on how a stupid facial filter works

[thorn hinge]

I understand that they are old and they don't understand but Considering the seriousness of the situation they should have atleast done a fare share of research

[thorn hinge]

Omg that eye question

[plush ore]

And the judge was trying to victimize the app with the excuse of it tracks your face

When filters… Kinda have to?

Because that’s how they work

[thorn hinge]

"Does tiktok see my eye colour through the camera"

Yes or no?

[plush ore]

Lel

And this brings another point

[thorn hinge]

https://youtu.be/sZDpJHl6amo

0:18

The pupil dilation 😭😭😭😭

[plush ore]

Why are they not talking about banning Snapchat then?

IT’S WAY WORSE WITH PEDOS AND STUFF

[thorn hinge]

God when u listen to it it just makes my brain go mush

[thorn hinge]

Becz Snapchat is a us company

[tame sparrow]

It’s us company. From my understanding the new law wasn’t only about tiktok but having data go to china basically

[thorn hinge]

If its public data anyone can have access to it

They are concerned about national security from a social media app and scared it's spying on users?

Sometimes I think it's most due to the fact that the fall of tiktok could and will benfit alot of the Congress people

[jade rock]

But still no matter what your feed is, TikTok trains you too spend countless hours and makes you unable to focus dur to your now short attention span. And ye maybe that doesn't apply to you, i can't know if it does, but it sure does dolly to a lot of people and that's a problem

[tepid linden]

i go on tiktok when i have nothing better to do

and my attention span is already really bad due to adhd

[plush ore]

Bruh really? That’s why?

[jade rock]

What's your average screen time on tiktok?

[thorn hinge]

It surely gives u a short attention span but then again being on tiktok is also a choice

[jade rock]

Btw @tame sparrow i think that is the question that has evoked the biggest discussion in this forum yet. Pretty interesting imo

[tepid linden]

an hour or 2 across waiting for lunch + dinner etc

[tame sparrow]

yessss mission success

[thorn hinge]

Debates are fun thing

As long as there's no violence 😭

[tame sparrow]

i think the egg or chicken was same level lol

[jade rock]

Still clearly egg tho

[tepid linden]

So far today

i waste way more time on discord

[stray ivy]

yeah but you can't just ban tiktok because it gets addictive to some ppl, cuz then you'd have to ban all social media platforms since all of them are just as addictive, specially after seeing youtube shorts and instagram having the same system as tiktok

and if the issue is the addiction of ppl you might aswell ban all betting for all sports and gambling

[tepid linden]

let's ban anything that can be addictive then

[chrome garnet]

let's ban the internet

[stray ivy]

lmao imagine

[jade rock]

Thats a different topic

[jade rock]

The thing with tiktok that bothers me is that its not only addictive but also not even rly social media. You dont use it to connect with people you know like IG, it's not useful to learn anything like YT is, it's just dumb entertainment which can be nice from time to time but I'm really for a lot of people it just has negative affects on their lives. So banning IG would mean i couldn't see the photos that my friend post there to keep in touch with them etc banking yt would mean i would have access to a lot of actual knowledge, but banding TikTok would just take away some entertainment

[jade rock]

People with good addictions 👀

[stray ivy]

we find a lotta cool stuff there, like we went on a date on saturday to a restaurant we found on tiktok. it's also a really good platform to do promo for upcoming releases. you can also learn from some channels. there's kurzgesagt in there doing their usual educational business but in shorter format

it's mainly entertainment yeah but what's wrong with entertainment

let's ban netflix then

[tepid linden]

not to mention the recipes we learned there

some were so good they now form part of our usual meals

[jade rock]

I'm not arguing that everything on tiktok is bad, i'm just saying its far less useful than other social media platforms but (especially for young people) far kore dangerous in terms of addictiveness and how it twists yoir world view

[jade rock]

And as i said, entertainment is not necessarily a bad thing, but too much of uncontrolled, unmoderated Entertainment is. And thats a far bigger problem with TikTok then with Netflix

[tepid linden]

tiktok is far more useful to me than instagram or twitter is

[stray ivy]

Well yeah but if your world view is so easy to change that's your problem mainly. The internet is full of miss info everywhere and you need to have some criteria to distinguish what is garbage from what is not

And many ppl surprisingly fail at that

And I gotta blame the educational system here

I just can't point out another culprit to ppl tripping balls over "oh how does this mirror know this object is here" and "oh vaccines cause autism"

[inner mauve]

it was good

[jade rock]

I'm not talking about misinformation, I'm talking about how it switches your focus to unnecessary things. people don't care about the real worlds as much as they used to because they are distracted by the internet. and ye i know that that can be said about other social media platforms too but tiktok is by far the worst one imo

also it is not "my problem", i'm good. i dont have tiktok

but I think we can agree on social media having very bad affect on a lot of people especially young people and that that is a huge problem right?

[stray ivy]

Yeah I wasn't referring to you when I said "your problem" I meant ppl in general

Idk if your is correct there, it's a thing we do in Spanish so idk if it applies to english lol

[nimble yacht]

With the way it was said it sounded targeted towards him specifically

DW about how long it's taking me to type rn btw

[jade rock]

i think you can say it but the bold yourmade it feel like you were talking about me

[stray ivy]

Yeah but ppl should be a little bit more responsible and consequent for their own actions. If you choose to watch tiktok over doing your tasks that's also not tiktok's fault, you should be more responsible and learn to quit when you have to do other stuff

Again using "you" to refer to general public

[tepid linden]

main problem with tiktok is young people lacking common sense because they been spoon fed everything

[stray ivy]

Ah my bad then, it wasn't targeted dw

[tepid linden]

not to mention getting a phone way too early

[jade rock]

sure I just feel like there is a line between things that are useful and good for society that also have some bad influence on some poeple (like fast food for example. its nice and quick and sometimes exactly what i need, but some poeple eat it too much/get addicted and die because of obesity. should it be banned because of those people: no, because its still quite useful for a lot of other people and its your own fault if you eat it too much) and things that things that might also have some good side to it but are mostly negative. and imo tiktok crosses that line

[jade rock]

but ye this

[jade rock]

and this

good points lol

and thats all i'm going to say for now because I've a paper to write and already procrastinated enough with this discussion lol

[stray ivy]

Lmaoo

K cya

[deep isle]

yea please ban tiktok

or do it like china and have the algorithm push useful content and limit your time on the platform

should be alarming that the average chinese kid wants to be an astronaut and the average american kid an influencer

[cold cosmos]

should be alarming that any kid even dreams of being an influencer

at their age i didn't even know what an influencer was

oh god i'm speaking like old people

but you get my point

[slow burrow]

tiktok shouldnt be a thing

[jade rock]

I mean Baguettes usually don't live for like 17 years or however old you are so I guess thats fair

[stray ivy]

but this was happening before tiktok already tho

[deep isle]

oh absolutely

its the same issue on all of the platforms

tiktok just pushes it to the max rly

i mean

you open the app and it immediately starts playing sth

[cloud walrus]

Discord: Am I a joke to you???

[cloud walrus]

That's exactly what my point is

[cloud walrus]

W response

[tame sparrow]

Daily Question | What movie can you watch over and over without ever getting tired of?

have i asked this before? fuck

[nimble yacht]

I think so yeah

[tame sparrow]

i’m starting to go mental on the questions even if i line them out

[woeful eagle]

Lmaoo

[cold cosmos]

My answer is still young royals ngl even tho it's not a movie

Also fast and furious: Hobbs and shaw, i love it so much lmao

[tame sparrow]

so i did ask this aaaaahhh my bad

its still early so lets change the course

Daily Question | How long does it take you to get ready in the morning?

I snooze for like 30 minutes. Then I hurry the like crazy in 15 to 30 minutes 😩

[cold cosmos]

I could get ready in like 15-25 minutes if I wanted to, but I take my time and end up needing an hour

speaking of, I'm gonna continue to get ready and I'll go brush my teeth

[wheat wind]

10 minutes

[thorn hinge]

30mins max to get ready

But on days I need to rush 10-15 mins

It could take longer depending up on my laziness

[nimble yacht]

I have no idea

[stray ivy]

I'm a complete zombie in the mornings

so I do everything in slowmo

[deep isle]

I need a solid hour

Gotta do some stretching, journaling and breakfast

[inner mauve]

i wake up in the afternoon time

if for school, i get ready in 1 hour (eating bathing etc)

if i wake up late for school, 15 mins is enough i will speed run

[chrome garnet]

I'm guilty of taking like 1 1/2 hours to get ready

on a school day

most of that is being slow though because im lazy af 😭

and eating breakfast

[jade rock]

Ye most people here shortly don't shower lol

No way I'm getting ready in under 30 min

[cold cosmos]

nahh can't shower in the morning, only in the evening

[sacred bramble]

It depends…. Does the getting up part count? Otherwise like 10 minutes

[stray ivy]

uhhh yes it does count

[jade rock]

i never understood that

i know a lot of people shower in the evening

[tame sparrow]

me

[jade rock]

but I want to be clean for the day and not the night

[tame sparrow]

i shower in the evening too

i like showers

[nimble yacht]

Hey @jade rock really weird and random question but is Austrian German different to German German?

[tame sparrow]

yes

[jade rock]

yes Austrian german is far superior

no but srsly its mostly the same, but we both have regions were they speak with certain accents that are very different and sometimes quite hard to understand

there are a few words that we use that arent used in germany and the other way around so there is some kind small difference between the country but its not very significant.

[nimble yacht]

Okay me and my parents were wonderin

Wondering*

So if a German was talking German to an Austrian they would understand each other?

[jade rock]

yes very easily

its the same language just with a few minor differences in vocabulary here and there

its basically like people in the US talk differently like people from the UK or Canada

[cold cosmos]

so just a bit more than a local accent

and a bunch of different words

[jade rock]

it depends

i think people in bigger cities mostly talk more or less the same in both countries

and if you go further outside people start having weird accents and all that

[nimble yacht]

My mother was asking because two of our ex neighbours (we all moved away years ago) had an argument over a bush in German for some reason

[jade rock]

like often its hard to differentiate between american and british english depending on how people talk, but sometimes its also suuuuper noticeable

[jade rock]

lol what

[nimble yacht]

Don't ask me for more info because I don't have any

That's all my mother told me

This probably happened when I was 6>

[jade rock]

and you are still talking about that?

how important was that bush?

[nimble yacht]

So I don't remember any of it

[nimble yacht]

Idek lmao

[jade rock]

and what does it have to do with the differnce between austrian and german german?

[nimble yacht]

I have no idea

[jade rock]

lol ok

[nimble yacht]

The German neighbour was a whiner iirc, knowing her she probably made a huge fuss about it

[tame sparrow]

Daily Question | What is one brand that you identify with?

[sacred bramble]

Brand?

[nimble yacht]

Fairphone and Framework

User repairable devices

[tame sparrow]

Brand. Is there a brand that aligns with your values, has good product/service etc

[sacred bramble]

Ohhhh

Hmmmm

I guess Clip Studio, the thing I use to draw, I’m an artist

[stray ivy]

I'd probably say apple

cuz I'm a hot piece of garbage, takes me one minor inconvenience to break, I present myself like if I was good and somehow people love me anyways

[deep isle]

jeez thatas deep

seek discomfort from yes theor

y

[inner mauve]

i dont understand the ques

[nimble yacht]

How do you not understand

What do you not understand about it

[inner mauve]

what's "to identify with"?

[nimble yacht]

What's a brand that you can relate to

[nimble yacht]

E.g. I agree with Framework since they make user repairable and upgradeable devices

Wdym

[inner mauve]

no

i was bout to it put in my server

[nimble yacht]

Unless you mean how they've been giving their stuff to Samsung first recently

[nimble yacht]

What

[inner mauve]

doing a copying challenge in my server (not that i own)

anyways

idk what brand i could relate....

[nimble yacht]

How about LG Mobile since you're stoopid

[inner mauve]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

infinix laptop maybe

[nimble yacht]

Why?

The Infinix Zerobook is just a straight up good value laptop

[inner mauve]

because everyone doesnt stress it?

[slow burrow]

[nimble yacht]

God yeah

[slow burrow]

it was super nice around 2016

[nimble yacht]

The specs are garbage by today's standards I'm not even gonna lie

[slow burrow]

[nimble yacht]

320P screen

[slow burrow]

oh shit yeah

its like

3 or 4 inches

[nimble yacht]

You wouldn't want 10 iirc

[slow burrow]

[nimble yacht]

You'd lose the Play store

[slow burrow]

in terms of phones yeah not really

[slow burrow]

yes

exactly

it cost me like

350 qar

[nimble yacht]

Which Huawei did you get?

[slow burrow]

[nimble yacht]

Convert it to AUD if you can be bothered but I'm fine with USD

[slow burrow]

ladies and gentlemen

a phone for 96 dollars

[nimble yacht]

Jesus Christ that's a cheap phone

[slow burrow]

oh yeah its like

32gb storage

2gb ram

but hey gets shit done

better than 512 mb ram 😂

[nimble yacht]

2GB ram is so fun my guy

[slow burrow]

i mean i just cant heavy game

thats it

[nimble yacht]

I had a phone with 1.5GB back in 2019 and it sucked balls

[slow burrow]

rest all is like

[nimble yacht]

I have a Pixel 6a

[slow burrow]

yeah sorry for you

[slow burrow]

[slow burrow]

i think its a y5

[nimble yacht]

128GB storage, 6GB ram, battery life is only one day but eh

[slow burrow]

'only'? 😭

man thats lowkey great compared to my specs

but even if you think its shit

[nimble yacht]

I'm used to 4 days

[slow burrow]

i probably dont feel like i need a new phone anyway

cuz

[nimble yacht]

I had a phone before this with 4 day battery life

A Doogee S88 Plus

10,000mAh

[slow burrow]

oh damn

sounds sick

okay yeah wtf is that armour

[nimble yacht]

I'm actually surprised Huawei managed to get full Android Pie on a Helio A22 and 2GB ram

[slow burrow]

lmao

[nimble yacht]

I think they made a case for it which is the right 2

It's 28mm thin without a case iirc

[slow burrow]

ah yes armor for armor

[nimble yacht]

God damn was that phone tough

I chucked it at a wall full force and it was completely fine

[slow burrow]

oh yeah same for mine

its all plastic

way more fucking sturdy than any expensive ahh iphone

[thorn hinge]

Super armour and the fone won't even last

My godly ass fone has survived the worst and has zero scratchs

[slow burrow]

piss off with thy unsolicited advice

go do something useful

[thorn hinge]

Okay

[nimble yacht]

I also submerged it in sand multiple times, I've used it as a shovel, I've chucked it in the air, etc

That phone got properly abused

[slow burrow]

real multipurpose

anyway

how did it die

[nimble yacht]

Idk

I did so much to it the day that it died

It's hard to tell

It lasted a few months iirc

Before I finally managed to kill it

[slow burrow]

you was on a mission 💯💯

[nimble yacht]

It was actually 18mm

Not 28mm

[slow burrow]

could it stop a bullet ⁉

[nimble yacht]

I wanna try it

[thorn hinge]

Dum questions by Kevin

For reference Tilavin's phone has 3020mAh

[slow burrow]

[slow burrow]

😂😂😂

[nimble yacht]

That thing is actually 28mm

It's ridiculous and I want it

[thorn hinge]

Mine has 5260mAh

Giant ass battery

[nimble yacht]

My old phone had 10,000mAh

You got nothing on that thing

But yes 5260 is pretty fucking good

[plush ore]

Uhhhh

The brand I identify with?

[cold cosmos]

If that counts, any of the local bakeries lmao
They sell bread, I like bread
I identify with it

[plush ore]

Hmmm

A weird choice, but I guess Intex

Lmao

[inner mauve]

in that case, all the restaurants for me

[plush ore]

I like inflatables and it’s super fun to have inflatables that are durable

[inner mauve]

i can order food online, go and eat yummy food that tastes better than the food my mom cooks

[slow burrow]

nah come on don't say that to mom's food man

[tepid linden]

mom's food is sacred

[inner mauve]

[chrome garnet]
