6 days agoAs much as I dislike TikTok and short-form video in general, I really don’t think this falls on TikTok. The idea of middle-schoolers discovering they can choke themselves out has been around as a “thing” since at least the late 90s.
We knew it as the “Space Monkey”. And yeah, the whole idea was to chokehold yourself until you nearly/did pass out. I suspect it has more to do with the timing of learning things like biology, and the immaturity of middle schoolers finding the idea of blacking out to be funny.
Really depends on what I eat. Beans? Mediocre, the kind of fart that you know exactly what to expect and it’s entirely mid. Brocoli? Might as well call Greta Thunberg, because those one’s are probably cleaner than the air I breathe.
Now clams? Hoo boy. Those are the kind of farts that not only am I proud of, I want to forcefully share that pride with others.
