2025-04-28 12:52:54 +0000 UTCI think I’m Aiden pilled after coaching my 8 year old sons baseball team and hearing chicken Jockey chants after being threatened to run they have no remorse or fear. But in some ways that’s beautiful

2025-04-21 03:58:19 +0000 UTCi think what Aiden was trying to get at was not that the brain rot itself is bad, but the problem is that the kids are more primed for consumption and being almost instructed in a way to simply recognize culture and bond with eachother over the recognition of said culture than to have their own unique interpretation of the world around them. my reasoning is based around the same concept as the "creativity crisis". the creativity crisis references the overall decline of creativity in the United States since the sixties (declining at a more rapid rate in the last decade-ish). Professor KH Kim (who coined the term creativity crisis) theorized that it is due to the overly standardized education system that the US has adopted in which risk taking (which is the soul of creativity) is punished and the intake and regurgitation of information is rewarded. everything now falls into a structure instead of being left to be molded by social dynamics. Thinking back to my childhood, we had plenty of time spent at the park or in a play ground where we had to create our own games, then implement a way of regulating the game to ensure fairness, all the while testing eachother on the scale of social hierarchy. even if we were playing a game that had an existing set of rules (like soccer or football) there would still be the sorting of the hierarchy, eg. who gets to be team captain, who is the best player, where do I stand amongst my peers, am I cool/clouted enough to break the rules and get away with it. when i compare that to the environment that children grow up in today, there is a huge decline in the amount of "free play" that is allowed. the teaching style that teachers are forced to take follows a "telling" style as opposed to a "challenge" style. then this problem is exacerbated by the fact that in children's free time they don't engage in the same style of play that I experienced and described above, instead they pick up their phones and are exposed to the same things their whole generation is exposed to. they are then faced with the binary option of either "I like this" or "I don't like this". the only creativity that emerges from this system is the bastardization of an existing meme, aka brain rot. sure the brain rot often takes on a very different meaning than the original meme but it still stays within the confines of the lens of pre-existing memes. i guess the best way to summarize what im saying is, the problem isn't the brain rot, it's the standardization of brain rot. https://www.ideatovalue.com/crea/khkim/2017/04/creativity-crisis-getting-worse/?utm_source=chatgpt.com I realize this is super long and probably took a turn from what Aiden was trying to get at, but I put too much thought and effort into this to not post it. if you read all the way through ily ❤️

2025-03-30 01:00:11 +0000 UTCI must say that I got really high listening to this and thoroughly enjoyed the ep. Massive props to slime btw, I hope you read this: seeing this and thinking about how it would make an amazing podcast ep. to show to the boys for the first time was an amazing plan for a good episode. I appreciate the work of the producer/writer role in a podcast more after this one.

Zion Blartt
2025-03-27 16:07:28 +0000 UTCI’m really not sure how to explain it through text but let’s say you’re doing 68x58 you make a box and since it’s 2 digits in both numbers you make four quadrants and put 68 on top of the box and 58 on the side of the box and “cross multiply” then add the sum or some stupid shit like that
Steven Johnson
2025-03-27 03:08:28 +0000 UTCBox method for multiplication? Isn’t that just “long multiplication” but arranged differently? or is this something else

Vova
2025-03-25 02:23:08 +0000 UTCMy girlfriend who is an elementary teacher has told me the real reason literacy rates are so low is due to the whole language learning curriculum. Please research it as it is massively detrimental to kids, and we NEED to address this issue.
Hayden Albrecht
2025-03-25 01:37:00 +0000 UTCYou guys don't have to worry about ruining Beanos I remember that meme was popular back in 2019.
Jiren Joestar
2025-03-24 23:26:44 +0000 UTCMy girlfriend teaches grades 2-4 and the kids are honestly alright, like they are brainrotted but they are learning and creating things. The rot may consume but it fosters creativity and bonds in children. Like i wish when i was a kid I can just say brainrot and make friends.
delphox
2025-03-24 23:02:07 +0000 UTCPerhaps. But even obvious sarcasm seems hard as well. And also when talking to 10-25 year olds, irony and sarcasm seems hard, or not found funny.
harm van zon
2025-03-24 21:49:35 +0000 UTCI think it's mostly because of text communication becoming more prominent. In a voice call it's easy to tell when someone is being sarcastic but nuanced sarcasm reads identical to a genuine statement on a platform like Twitter or Tumblr. You can't put inflection into letters on a screen.
Matthew Alvaro
2025-03-24 21:36:45 +0000 UTCYoung people, I notice, have a huge problem with Irony and Sarcasm. Even the fact that /s exist says enough. So all humor seems to be abstract and 'silly'. There's no context, or depth. It's just funny.
harm van zon
2025-03-24 21:13:34 +0000 UTCI really like these serious semi-intellectiual conversations in the Yard. Is it a coincidence that they're happening when Ludwig is not around.......

Elias Fresquez
2025-03-24 20:09:57 +0000 UTCYou young people (yeah I’m late 30s) forget about the band Lit from the 90s when debating if the term lit is cringe when used by white people and/or its origins.

Nolan Voit
2025-03-24 14:55:48 +0000 UTCBoth can exist at the same time. Genuinely that fear won’t go away any time soon unfortunately, but cell phone use in class / in other classes is 100% a problem. From experience, my HS students just don’t know how to function without one. Which is exactly like how I wasn’t able to function without a phone in HS either.

2025-03-24 13:55:34 +0000 UTCper nick's point of kids being able to understand complex ideas more: they cannot. I am a music teacher and all previous generations are not able to think for themselves and solve any kind of problem, they just give up. asking them to connect two dots together in thought is impossible

Australia Isn’t real
2025-03-23 06:13:17 +0000 UTCI appreciate the insight, and I think something that adds to it is the how we have to be plugged in all the time, especially with meme culture quickly accessible right in out pocket. Honestly I was playing balatro while listening, and actually got up from my chair after and started reading a physical book just to prove to myself that I can still do that.
Chad
2025-03-23 05:23:19 +0000 UTCThe way this is written makes it seem like you lose interest in any topic that isn't cum jokes.

2025-03-23 04:33:27 +0000 UTCNick pulling up Rucka Rucka is crazy.

2025-03-23 04:32:10 +0000 UTCi have a 32 year old friend that is a trauma surgeon and participated in the 2014 ukranian riots and he consumes more tiktok brainrot than anyone i know edit: i had him take the quiz. the only three he didnt get were fuhulatoogan, Kai Cenat and YourRage, he said “where’s John Pork” and then clicked the account to watch the rest of the videos

Rav
2025-03-22 22:14:23 +0000 UTCI totally agree, when I think of something like skibidi toilet to me that's just the minions or rabbids of today's generation. It's all about the context and related references that slowly build up this specific culture that is defined by it's ability to be unknowable or confusing to generations above it. People in my generation don't understand skibidi toilet the same way boomers didn't understand impact font memes or early internet culture, it's just 'time is a flat circle' tinted by your specific culture, which will always seem the most novel and perfect for you, which is exactly what every generation before you has said as well.

Marten Gorrebeeck
2025-03-22 21:38:32 +0000 UTCI've worked with elementary school kids for some high school community service stuff a few years ago, and while things like reading comprehension are falling behind, the kids are so much more emotionally intelligent than when I was younger. It does feel like the culture is shifting away from the logic dominated one of my youth, to a more emotional, human one. I agree with Aiden that the loss of these certain aspects definitely has an impact, but from what I can see, the hyper-logical generations of ours and before are seemingly what create the cold, distanced adults that feel more secure in their knowledge rather than with others, which feels detrimental in its own right. Our generations’ logic skills and critical thinking made it easier to make splits and boundaries in our communities, overthinking even the littlest differences into large divides. A more homogenized culture could point towards a higher tolerance for others and a better social-emotional state of mind in the youth. That’s without saying that our current reading comprehension skills and other related statistics now are about where they were in the late 80s to early 90s, a time when people were more connected than now. I think we’re slowly making our way back to a time like that, and the social issues and loneliness we’re experiencing now are the shackles of a hyper logical society that we’ll eventually break through. We’ve forced ourselves into this disconnected society because we thought it would be more efficient, easier, faster; and it is, but we don’t need that, we need human connection. I think that's where we're putting our marbles instead of the things that (though very positive) aren't solving the issues many people deal with today, like loneliness or anxiety. Sorry to get crazy in the preemo cum dump, I’m autistic and this shit is very interesting to me. Loved the ep!!

Yolo_chicken
2025-03-22 21:19:02 +0000 UTCNgl some of these topics in the past two episodes have been the least engaging out of any bonus episodes. I had to shut it off after listening to couples sleeping preferences for 15 min last episode. After the 30 min mark on this episode it just became a philosophical debate about the youth.

2025-03-21 18:29:14 +0000 UTCSlime’s absolutely right in how miraculous it is that humans have pattern recognition and assigning meaning to symbols, which can be literally anything. Rizz had no meaning prior to some kid shortening charisma and assigning a social value to it, and rizz has developed over the past [x] amount of years. This ability is what makes human different from every other species on Earth, and is the foundation of evolutionary sociology. Yeah, it makes sense from a human perspective that we’ve evolved to be like this, but know that no species has done it except for us, and that’s pretty cool.

2025-03-21 17:12:28 +0000 UTCGreat episode, funny first half, thoughtful second half, both were great, I liked Nick's view on what it means for the current generation of kids, I'm one of the few people who thinks that every generation of kids gets a little bit smarter than the last, even if the manner in which that intelligence presents itself varies. The ability to withstand cognitive load and the threshold of that cognitive load is always increasing as information becomes more ubiquitous, on average. Obviously not everyone can be Archimedes but compare the reasoning ability of the common man from 1925 and the common man from 2025 and I'd say 2025 is coming out on top. Obviously there are downsides to this. I imagine there are probably mental health impacts that are not so great. But as the famous Pete Townshend lyric went, the kids are grand. Don't let The Offspring fool you, they are well-documented cowards and liars.

2025-03-21 15:52:44 +0000 UTCTalk to a teacher, they’re changing so much of the curriculum that don’t teach kids to read the way they taught us. It’s fucked, don’t even get me started on that box method

2025-03-21 14:28:29 +0000 UTCJust looked up Rucka rucka ali out of interest and he has a parody song released a month ago called “treat jew better” which has a cartoon hitler in the thumbnail. So I guess he’s still on that grind.

2025-03-21 14:18:29 +0000 UTCRegarding having phones in school, I absolutely agree lmao no one does anything at school and are on their phones majority of the day. As someone who does it as well lmfao

Bruno Giovanna
2025-03-21 14:10:56 +0000 UTCI knew basically like everything, junior in high school and I can guarantee ppl my age wouldn’t get a lot of the old brain rot. Majority of the brain rot people know a lot are the streamer ones
omelet
2025-03-21 14:10:33 +0000 UTCI think the fundamentals of brainrot are that it just shows up on your feed and you don't have to understand it e.g. the oi oi oi is some cringe anime way of acting cool but the average person doesn't know that. I look at these as an amalgamation of references and in a similar fashion to art you don't have to know the artists biography to understand their piece.

2025-03-21 10:49:02 +0000 UTCTo elaborate, I think it’s very easy for older people to assume that “ohh I saw this on tiktok so everyone must’ve seen it” or “ohhh this one brainrot thing is what the kids are into these days”. I think generalizing things like that, or like when Nick just assumes the origins of a joke is from one thing, is what actually makes u guys look old, not the lack of knowledge on brainrot. I know I might sound hatery, but I promise I just wanted to spark a conversation about this disconnect of generations that I’ve perceived. Good ep nonetheless

2025-03-21 10:42:35 +0000 UTCI think the most boomer part about this is actually the assumption that all gen alpha / gen z are brainrotted in the first place. I think as we get further away from understanding internet culture, the easier it is to be like “wow, everyone younger than me is doing this stupid thing” when in reality, everyone is into stupid things when they’re young. I think that most kids I talk to in gen z or gen alpha would probably get as much of the quiz right as you guys would. Tldr; I think that u guys aren’t giving gen z / alpha enough credit, because I think most are just normal people that have stupid gatekeepy humor that y’all had when you were younger.

2025-03-21 03:54:28 +0000 UTCwas cool hearing you guys talk about Scott McCloud albeit briefly this episode. Have been rereading his books starting with Understanding Comics this year, and I think everyone would benefit from reading it, even if you couldn't care less about comic books.
