Has there ever been a "good" trend on tiktok?

The ice bucket challenge was making rounds again. But there's basically infinite harmless trends that nobody thinks of. The 100 men versus 1 gorilla thing is a trend and unless somebody jumps in a gorilla pen for Harambe 2.0 it's been harmless.

Reminder that the ice bucket challenge is something that raises awareness and funds for ALS research.

People have just been doing dumb things for reputation since forever. We had the cinnamon challenge back in our day.

yeah, the cinnamon challenge was dumb.. but it didnt involve mass destruction, psychotic behavor, or contaminating food\ in stores.

So its hardly comparable.

Also it wasnt Tiktok. Predates it, significantly.

My question was "was there ever a good trend from tiktok"

Icebucket challenge was from before tiktok existed.

So kinda proving my point.

Engineer out the electricity?

I know, but it's recently began again on TikTok after years of being a pretty dead trend.

back in our day, our stupid wasnt malicious mass destruction or food tampering.

It was actual stupid shit, like trying to jump over your friend as he raced towards you on his bike, or falling off a roof, Shit that only hurt yourself, if anyone. Wasnt breaking and entering and destroying shit so people in the next town over would think you were cool. We were stupid, but we werent that stupid.

the worst part is expecting kids to learn about computers using a fucking Chromebook.

You can design something to survive pin shorting.

Nah kids always do things that end up being malice since they don't know it is maliceful.
Kits are by definition retarded. Its expected of them to do dumb things.

The fact you didn't just means you were lucky.

Chromebooks aren't replacing computer classes. They're replacing textbooks and mimeographed handouts for a variety of classes. Most of that stuff is web based now, and Chromebooks are cheap so they're the perfect tool for the job.

Same. To me, messing with a computer seemed like a great way to be on the hook for destruction of school property.

(That said, I did once disable the USB inputs for a computer in the BIOS so the keyboard and mouse would stop working, as a practical joke.)

I guess I never hung around any of you.

Lol, good point. I often forget how I was put in advanced classes at an early age with other students who performed well. I need to consider that more in my adult life, that most of the adults I'm encountering were the people in the regular classes.

We're going to have a whole generation of kids pretty soon that are going to be entering the workforce and they're barely going to be able to operate a mouse and keyboard. Although it's not really the Chromebook at fault this started with the damn iPads. Why were schools issuing iPads to students anyway, they have the absolute worst possible UX for note-taking.

My cousin partially set his bedroom on fire doing something very similar with the foil from chewing gum. This was in the 1980s though so no one really cared, I'm pretty sure he just got shouted at.
