A Guide to Childhood Culture for Adults Left Without Connection: How Do We Create Memes With Images of the Webb Telescope?
I’m not sure if it’s just me, but everything that’s happening in pop culture this week has me ambivalent. I understand that you would like to raise an army of frogs, but I am aware of the potential environmental impact. It’s fun to ask a child if he will fight with you, but fighting is bad. A large telescope is awe-inspiring, but the memes are also fun. You get the idea.
The Internet reacted to the first images from the Webb Space Telescope
The smartest people on earth have spent the last 20 years and $10 billion launching the James Webb telescope into space, and this week he sent back his first images: photos that literally show us the birth of Time itself.
The Internet reacted predictably: fleeting interest, indifference and memes. A lot of people looked at the images and said “Wow, cool” and then went back to playing Apex: Legends . Redditors made memes . Twitter came in with hot takes . Telegram users immediately called the images fake , stating that NASA was “putting a scissor stocking (SIC) over a taut lens” so that “you get light sparkles.”
I didn’t really expect anything else, but I still hope that people will be cooler when we find aliens.
What is #fightprank?
I have mixed feelings about the #fightprank trend taking over TikTok. It works like this: Parents will walk up to their child (if he is still young enough to be into things) and say something like: “Listen, I am going to fight our neighbor and they have a child your age that you will have to fight . So put on your shoes and let’s break.” And then record the reaction.
Some children are shaking . Some kids, like Rocco, are ready to kick ass right away. Some kids are just too old to fight . The popularity of the challenge/meme has led to videos of kids putting their parents in the same situation , which is funny in a completely different way .
I know that I should say: “This is terrible! Parents shouldn’t do this!” but I mostly think it’s funny. It ‘s not really a fight and it shows our love for our people. I asked my own son – unfortunately too old to lie – if he would fight alongside me, and he replied: “100 percent.” I regard this as a parental victory.
TikToker creates a frog army
TikTok user @thinfrog had a dream: they wanted to create a huge army of frogs. Instead of sitting back, @thinfrog did something. Starting in February, they collected frog eggs from the puddles around them, and threw the spawning slime into the pond near their house. A few months later, there were over a million tadpoles in the pond, then frogs , and finally a million and a half frogs ! A real frog army! They also attracted two million followers on TikTok as an added bonus. An interesting imitator followed: Ladybug Raid , in which millions of ladybugs were released worldwide. I feel compelled to point out that this is a very bad act due to the environment and ecosystems or whatever. Also: like everything on the internet, these videos are probably fake.
Older influencers warned to stay away from TikTok
Want to know what the kids on TikTok really think of you? Me neither! But that doesn’t stop TikTok flavor creator Celeb Spellcheck from telling us. Although their feed has gone private, in a recent interview , Celebrity was asked who should stay away from TikTok, and she replied, “I’d say it’s all old-school 30-year-old influencers who got lucky with Instagram a few years ago, but they bring absolutely nothing to the table… TikTok is a brand new game, you have to offer something and a pretty face doesn’t fit. Plus, it’s absolutely brutal.”
It’s probably true, but I’d like to point out that Celeb Spellcheck spent quite a bit of time in interviews talking about Kim Kardashian’s relationship with Pete Davidson and they live in Australia , so they’re not in the right place to call other people. lame.
Viral Video of the Week: SML Movie: Brooklyn Guy’s Dad
I usually only share produced comedy videos that are smart, funny, and good, but this week’s viral video, SML Movie: Brooklyn Guy’s Dad , is stupid, boring, and bad – at least for me. Entertainment, which I personally don’t like, is still important, and the 2+ million people who watched this video the first day online are important too, even if I probably wouldn’t want to hang out with them, and their opinion on comedy. wrong and bad.
The product of 28-year-old YouTuber Logan Austin Tritiacre, SML is a puppet sitcom/TV series/movie that kids really enjoy, even if it’s frowned upon by pretentious internet writers and fans of the Japanese bunraku puppet style…
Okay, it’s not terrible . it’s slightly charming in the vein of cheap puppets who yell at each other, and it’s homemade and sincere, and at least as funny as anything the Muppets have done in the last decade. Excellent. It’s good . I’m a fan now. Are you happy?
