Wanna talks about my FB feed?
Flat earthers, chemtrails, anger baiting by vious intellectual shortcuts, evolution denial, giant ancient trees, fake archaeology, maga personality cult stuff...
And if I flag and blovk one, FB immediately follows by displaying identical stuff from other bots.
A lot of the same, but all my fav internet pets. The most disturbing however "not interested" doesn't work at all. I get the same videos over and over, I'll click not interest and it comes right back.
This is anecdotal but I’ve found if you run across a post you don’t like or too many adds, close the app fully (from the background) for at least like 10-30 mins. Tiktok wants to keep you scrolling so when it detects something is losing you, it adjusts. Takes a while but has worked okay for me.
Most of my usage of Tik Tok is on PC, my fyp was just right, a nice blend of stuff I enjoyed with only a video here or there I didnt like.. I decided to test the idea that it was different on my tablet so I spent a couple hours mindlessly scrolling on it last weekend and my feed is terrible now.
My FYP is full of gorgeously fluffy Corgies...and occasional "look at what happened today in the WH". The ratio is blissfully 9 to 1. Maybe it knows me well enough to figure out how much microdosing of bad news I can currently take.
When asked by a reporter whether he was going to encourage rescuers and comfort families of the passengers, Trump replied what do you expect him to do, go swimming. Not a funny joke. I believe in pictures make things real, start with the victims of this tragedy.
There's an axolotl on the pink stairs. Is an axolotl supposed to be there. If you ask an axolotl, if he'll be back tomorrow. A penguin waddles in and the axolotls gone
Axolotls are cute, but not my thing. My fyp is: -human rights issue- drawing of frog- human rights issue- crash- Sims 4- crash- picture of space and stars
I see we’re on the same side of TikTok. But also now gardening because I guess I like seeing people do the thing I always think I want to do until I see snails on a leaf and abandon the plot.
Funny I just updated my profile pic to my pet Phil and this is the next post I see. Everyone needs a cute Axolotl face when the rest of the news is such crap.
Your axolotl is so active! Ours is so mellow and freezes whenever we come to check on it. If you pretend to look away at the opposite tank corner it will try to sneak up on you but otherwise nothing.
Mine's been stuck in a loop of otters holding hands, medieval sword restoration, and increasingly unhinged sandwich-making videos. The algorithm knows me better than I know myself.
Lol, I just live here with them 😂.
My partner is the animal person. I'm sure they told me what kind they are forever ago. But we have / had so many different kinds of pets/animals.
Now that I no longer have TikTok, I find I don’t miss it in my everyday life. Like at all. But I am starting to notice that pop culture or whatever this is has left me behind. Because I have no idea what any of this is.
The axolotl is an example of genetic neoteny, it lives out its entire life and reproductive form in its former evolutionary juvenile stage, fully in water. If you inject it with a specific hormone then like the others of its kind you can force it to 'grow up' and produce a new species of salamander!
Humas are neotenised chimpanzee's, seems like, we look like baby chimps, so you go and eat some fish guts maybe you can live to 250, but you turn into a poo slinging money brain. Aldous Huxley.
Tell me they didn't fuck with the algorithm when they went "dark". The app is kinda shit now, which to me indicates they replaced the magic algo with an "export" variant that isn't very good. We know the CCP considers the algorithm a state secret that will not be sold, even if the app does.
I'm curious what people think the conspiracy is, besides the fact that the FAA got sacked and now we have planes falling out of the sky a week later... Seems like cause and effect to me... Or, as 47 would say, "common sense".
How so? Because in my view this is literally what safety regulations are designed to do. Prevent unavoidable situations from arising in the first place.
i.e. the one metric you measure safety by is when nothing is happening.
The one I’ve seen is people think musk planned for the plane wreck to happen. There’s supposedly an old tweet where he said a plane crash would need to happen before people would turn on DEI.
people are so fucking dumb in this country. half the country is illiterate.

Actually red state votes count higher than blue state votes on average bc of the electoral college. And then, some of the red and swing states only vote red so much because it's legal for them to delete votes. (Court reports indicated that Texas would have gone blue in 2024 without intervention).
Yeah, with 56% of the US adult population reading at or below a 6th grade level, good luck explaining how the US has a geographic representation system and not a popular representation system. I mean, most of their arguments start out with, "tHe uS iS a RePuBLiC nOt a DeMoCraCy."
Ahhh, my bad, my autistic special interest was 80s computers growing up. I did not turn on a radio until I was basically an adult.
I know zilch about music.
I'll one up you, STATES are archaic BS. Progressives will always be ice skating uphill to control the Senate because there are far more low pop conservative states who have more cows than people.
I'm slowly losing my grip on reality as this administration goes more insane. My mind has decided to modify the axolotl song and play on repeat: "there's an axolotl on the pink stairs, is an axolotl supposed to be there? Dinah blow your hoooorrrr nnnn."

I'm so out of the loop right now?
I have time to go research.
So long and thanks for all the fish!

There is not a lot of variation these days...
PS: No offense meant to Jokic.
