What was the dumbest trend you've seen?

[Anonymous]

I know there's many stupid trends to pick from but you can only choose one lol

I remember when people were eating the tidepods, the laundry detergent little soft pod thingies 💀

[Beckybooboo]

The stupid duck face selfies. I'm not a huge fan of selfies to begin with, unless it's people with a friend (s). If it's just one person, it makes them look lonely and pathetic lol... but the "duck" lips took it to a whole new level of cringe.

[Asker]

Saying this while smiling on a pfp selfie is crazy 😂

But I get ya, the duck lip stuff was indeed cringy, I never got it, do they wanna look less attractive? 💀

[Beckybooboo]

lol Actually, it's not a "selfie". My boyfriend took it last winter when I got up with him (He starts really early). I was cold, so I went and put a sweater on, he thought I looked cute and snuck a pic. I was pissed at first lol but liked how it turned out. Only thing is, there is a piece of thread or blonde hair on my sleeve and it drives me insane seeing it! I think I may have OCD.

[Asker]

Then I stand corrected lol, I'll admit you finessed the finesser with that one but it's good to see healthy relationships, or hear from them, he's taking pictures of you randomly, sounds like making memories to me, refreshing, that hair kinda does ruin it and it's funny cause I didn't know I was there until you pointed it out 🫠

[Beckybooboo]

One of my cousins, that happens to be beautiful, would do the duck lips on a daily basis and like you said, I felt like telling her how ridiculous and ugly it made her look!

[Asker]

Then do the opposite, tell her how good the shape of her lips look, I would like to believe that after hearing it enough she would assure she doesn't hide her lips when taking pictures.

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

I think we're supposed to hate whatever cultural trends are opposing the cultural trends we belong to then I will hate a lot of trends and call them dumb. Whether or not it is legitimate to do so, and legitimacy isn't even the point. Tastes and belonging are. What is expected of me is that I draw the line between my tastes and distastes. I will call this my identity, and use my tastes/distastes to signal others my cultural allegiance.

Those are the rules of the game.

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

Since I feel cheeky with chico 😏...
Then I will call bullshit on a specific trend:

Virginity portrayed as virtue.

* runs *

[ɹǝʇʇɐɥpɐW]

I was going to say the same thing until I clicked on your question. Eating Tide Pods has to be the dumbest! But since that one's taken, I'd say youtube prank channels. Like the parents who would "prank" their kids and post it. Until a judge ruled it as child abuse, because... it was. All of those pranks channels are popular, but they're also really harmful.

[DeeDeeDeVour]

Stupidly dressed like this...

or, like this...

[Sirenboobzilla]

A turn off at all times

[Asker]

Sagging is ghetto

[SugarSugarplum]

This

[swettannie]

@SugarSugarplum agreed

[Asker]

Geez 😂

[morganherrel]

I don't like it, but I'd much rather see a thin girl with that hair style than a fat girl with a normal/prettier hairstyle

[Kayleigh2005]

💯 agree, I love my hair! Never

[IslaTheWitch]

anything that forces people to follow or they are seen as freaks... mainly any fashion, hair style, body trends...

[Asker]

I see, fair enough 🤔

[Gold618]

So many to choose from, but I think one of the stupidest would have to be facial tattoos. You can't hide those! And your employment opportunities go out the window.

[Asker]

Yea that's true, sometimes even just normal tattoos throws it out the window lol

[LiamJHayden]

The sampling food, like opening an ice cream container and licking the ice cream, then closing it and putting it back for someone else to purchase.

[Asker]

Oh yea that shit actually pissed me off

[morganherrel]

lol that's terrible

[TsundereMatrix]

I saw on the news that some girl was arrested for doing that. Well deserved too!

[strateguy632]

Check under lid for paper seal. Some lids have a plastic safety tab.

[NathanDavis]

as of now... they're inhaling all kinds of synthetic fumes...

[Asker]

Oh the vapes 😂

[NathanDavis]

no, not the vapes... actual fumes, from sprays, and other industrial/chemical shit they can find

[Asker]

Oh the galaxy gas?

[NathanDavis]

air fresheners, air duster cans...

I looked it up again

" Chroming, also known as "huffing," is the act of inhaling the fumes of household chemicals such as nail polish remover, hairspray, aerosol deodorant or permanent markers. "

[Asker]

People will smoke anything nowadays smh

[NathanDavis]

yes, and they also do it for likes... on social media, lol

[Asker]

Hopefully this doesn't get worse

[NathanDavis]

too many have already died... so I think they trend is fading, unfortunately... a new one will come up right after

[red-lipstick-girl]

🤢🤢

[Asker]

Oh shit I remember this, that was crazy 😂

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

It's not over yet though, I still stumble upon duckfaces from time to time 😆

[NotTacocaT6969]

Difficult to choose between eating tide pods, setting themselves on fire and playing chicken with trains.

[Asker]

Dayum

[TsundereMatrix]

The sleepy chicken trend. Where they marinate chicken in NyQuil, cook it up and eat it. That sounds so disgusting!

[Asker]

I never heard of this but that was the nastiest shit I've heard today 💀

[TsundereMatrix]

I heard it on the news once urging parents to not let their kids try it.

[Asker]

Well I don't understand why such an abomination of an idea even has to be addressed with correction 😂

[TsundereMatrix]

You’d be surprised. Recently I heard a story of a mom that’s suing TikTok. She and her son were following a recipe on TikTok that involved melted sugar and her son got 3rd degree burns from handling a bowl of melted sugar but the mom blamed the app for it.

[Asker]

That's kinda messed up but sounds to me like she knows it's her fault but wants money 💀

[TsundereMatrix]

Probably. They had a doctor comment on the story and he said some people just don’t have common sense and that it’s not TikToks fault.

[Asker]

That's cause it really isn't, it's her fault for being unaware lol

[RageBabe]

That “Happy Slapping” trend from the early 2000s: you basically walk up to a random person and slap them, record it, and put it on YouTube.

[Asker]

Oh yea, kinda reminds me of the pantsing back in my good ol days lol

[RageBabe]

Bad boy. Lol

[Asker]

Lol.

[SaoirseS]

If I can only pick one (and since you already picked the Tide Pods challenge): The ALS ice bucket challenge.

[Asker]

Yea that was pretty stupid indeed lol

[Unit1]

Bitch ass Bill Gates has poured on himself with a water ice bucket.
Cool guy Gabe Newell dismissed it, having been nominated.

I had to put it this way 🙃

[Wallythewalrus2]

I can't think of any current ones that haven't been mentioned but I've watched shows from the '70's, there was a lot of crazy shit going on back then! From purple shag carpeting, to guys getting perms! Not to even mention how they dressed.

[Beckybooboo]

Ha Ha... I've seen pictures of my dad rocking an early eighties perm! He's ashamed of himself for doing it

[Wallythewalrus2]

@Beckybooboo You should see pics of my grandpa from the seventies. A perm and jean shorts so tight, they looked like they were painted on! They were also short shorts! They'd probably be too short for most women today.

[RingOfFire]

How about the cinnamon challenge? 🤣🤣🤣

https://www.youtube.com/embed/Cyk7utV_D2I

[Asker]

I remember that, I heard some people were hospitalized from this 😂

[RingOfFire]

Let me tell you... I once choked on cinnamon that was on top of a piece of French toast I ate.

It was NOT funny! Very dangerous. It does something to your nose and throat and if you inhale it I can easily see how it might even kill you. I was coughing for a half hour.

And that was just a tiny amount. When I first saw this video years ago I thought that was going to kill her! She is funny as hell though!

[Asker]

Meanwhile people are choking on it on purpose

[RingOfFire]

Kids do stupid things. Fortunately I was never like that. 😉

[morganherrel]

oh I remember that! It was so stupid lol

[Account]

Couple pranks. That is 9th level torture and cringe.

[Account]

If someone wants to torture me in a legal way, they can make me watch couple pranks. The cringe is something so unbearable that even those weird ass caterpillar eyebrows that cover the entire eyeball don't match up to that.

[Asker]

I've seen cringier, besides there's a lot of good ones, like when they pull out their greatest fears, I saw a snake one, there's also some foul ones like the cheating ones or the break up ones lol, but good to know, i know a weakness of yours, cringe 😂

[snowboarder720]

Shaving off your eyebrows and then drawing them in with a pencil.


They literally look like a clown. 🤡

[bunny_luv]

lol what makes it worse is when they talking to you face to face and all you're doing is staring at the "eyebrows" the whole time they're talking... not even paying attention to what they're saying and then ask if you heard them?

[Dnice1]

Cold shoulders clothes. My shoulders get cold just looking at them. They look so weird.

[Asker]

That's cause your long hair warms your shoulder repunzel 😂

[Dnice1]

Lol it does keep them warm 😂

[Asker]

You have an extra form of protection for cold shoulders lol

[Dnice1]

True lol

[AviatorTom]

Guys wearing their pants backwards, and down their legs, showing off their underwear.

Fortunately, I haven't seen much of that lately.

[DryGermanGuy]

These dumb platform boots that were in 20+ years ago. Even some guys were wearing them.

[Unit1]

Ripped pants

[Lliam]

Jeeeez. There are lots. But I'm thinking of No nut November. Who thought of such a stupid idea and why did it catch on?

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

Speculating, I think it caught on as a combination of tropes, that could overlap.
- This long-term religious idea that sex drive is shameful.
- As a way to feel in control of sex drive, in the context of pornography overdose.
- A manosphere trope where such control is supposed to make you a more efficient supermachista.

[Lliam]

@Maybe_Maybe_not. You're probably right. It resonated with people who have issues. LOL

[jshm2]

Pretty much any trend which is against the law. From "pranks" to actual harm

[paledreams]

It's always fake tanning or tatts or wild piercings or just plain fake eyelashes - ouch 😳🤕 👀👁️

[Lois35]

Today trends are just plain stupid. Tattoos, piercings, hair dieing...

[Kayla45]

Pink sauce, and also galaxy gas.

[Asker]

That galaxy gas stuff is crazy, by pink sauce do you mean mix of mayo and ketchup? 🙃

[electromagnetic]

Recently?
Tik Tok dances.

[Asker]

That's always been a cringe lol

[morganherrel]

Tattoos and piercings

[Anonymous]

Heavy makeup, crazy piercings, giant holes in earlobes.

[andreasderjuengere]

''Recently'' - the fidget spinners

[Asker]

Lmao those are actually pretty good with stress.

[Iron_Man]

Gangster Makeup

[Asker]

What the fuck is that 😂

[Iron_Man]

The makeup where the girls would apply makeup a design a line that point an arrow going up like a line like kind of like Dr. Spock around the eyes

[Asker]

Never heard of it, but it sounds stupid

[Iron_Man]

It was big time

[bunny_luv]

lol i'm trying to imagine a gangster taking the time to apply and fix their makeup...

[Iron_Man]

@bunny_luv lol

[jahaims]

People sharing their lives online for attention

[Asker]

[Gabriel-Chicanito]

[4ngelic]

[Sirenboobzilla]

Oh god... even with me cleaning my toilet with industrial grade cleaner and disinfectant, I could simply never 🤢🤮

[Dargil]

Man caused Global Warming.

[12karen]

The lip balm trend,

[Asker]

What's that? 🙃

[12karen]

you have to apply it to your lips every time you feel sad and once finished (the lip balm) you kill yourself or at least try to harm yourself

[Asker]

That's is not a trend I really heard of 🤔

[12karen]

I heard it was, I’ve got a friend who film herself on TikTok , sharing her story and asking her follower to be by her side until the end of her life

[Asker]

That is crazy, people are insane not gonna lie

[Jamie05rhs]

Holy shit.

[exitseven]

tongue piercing

[the29thhuman]

Gender trenders

[Asker]

What's that? 😂

[the29thhuman]

Folks that like to alter their gender because it’s a trend

[Asker]

Oh yea there's a lot of that shit going around

[elaphe]

Tide pods are pretty stupid.

[Asker]

Lmao

[elaphe]

Not the products, but eating them.

[DrPepper12]

White claw. I test my case

[FunkyMonkee]

Rap, disco.

[Giannishorny]
