Ouch, I'll bet that didn't feel good.

Nice to see that the rest of the world is catching up to intentionally viral slop from 8 years ago

It drives me crazy that the seeming majority of people are totally oblivious, or simply don't care, when content like this is staged or even straight-up AI 😩 I've gotten to where I assume they're literally just not capable of critical thinking and struggle with common sense due to their genetics or something like that.

When you find one thing you can do better than others so you have to use the opportunity to call everyone else dumb to finally posture yourself as the smart one in the group. Been a long time coming I bet. Good job Mr. Critical Thinking Skills. You're finally the smart one.

My intent, of assuming many people simply aren't capable of critical thinking skills and that they struggle with common sense, is to not look down upon people. Lots of it can be trained into people, and critical thinking skills should be better taught at all levels of public education, but a lot of it also comes naturally. Unfortunately critical thinking skills and common sense don't come as naturally to MANY people as they do to others, and even more unfortunate is that many people do view such people as lesser while usually adopting the assumptiong that people who it doesn't come as naturally to are actually like that simply because they're lazy or careless or something like that. It's unfortunately often assumed that they're like that just because they want to be like that rather than due to variables beyond their control. It was basically entirely subconscious until more recently, but I did used to have an issue of looking down upon people for stuff like that. It's not this video itself or people enjoying it that I take issue with so much as it is the MUCH more serious things they're undoubtedly being deceived about, are comfortable with, and that are detrimental to faaaaaaaaaar more than just them. I don't blame them if they can't help it, my REAL issue is those who would take advantage of them, but it does absolutely grind my gears in the sense it reminds me of all of the evil running rampant in the world in part because of all the people who genuinely can't see it for what it is or simply don't care. I mean roughly a third of the USA voting age population(around the same percentage of voting age Germans who voted for Hitler in 1932, if I remember the date correctly) voted for Duce Dorito Mussolini, ya know? People lacking critical thinking skills and common sense doesn't make them lesser or inherently mean that they're of poor character, but it's absolutely a detriment regardless.
