Arthur Waite 1 month ago

Son of Philosoraptor 1 month ago
Some years ago I was at an outdoor summer event for my work. The big boss was giving a speech and I noticed one of my staff wandering off. I ask him what happened? Well, there was a Pokémon behind the gazebo so...
#12

Beak Hookage 1 month ago
I actually did get one, but they were supposed to be for autistic people. I'm autistic, so of course I liked it. I even brought it to work once, and a co-worker promptly threatened to do away with me if I didn't put it down.
#13

KnightOwl86 1 month ago (edited)
I hated this, loads of people used it to be nasty to me. People kept tagging me in this telling me to do it but my doctor advised me not to as I was recovering from pneumonia at the time and it could have made me sick again. When I told people this I was accused of being selfish and using my health as a 'cop out' even though I donated to the charity.
#15
Candy Crush Craze: Playing Candy Crush hours on end, trying to reach new levels. Did you play it?
Rika 1 month ago
I played the original Candy Crush, before it became a mobile game. (For those who don't know, King used to operate a money gaming website: skill games, no gambling.) Candy Crush was first released on that site like many other games that they also tried to convert into mobile games. I genuinely don't understand why Candy Crush is the one that took off. They definitely had better games.
#16
Cinnamon Challenge: Everyone tries to swallow a spoonful of cinnamon. Did you do it?
#17
Planking Challenge: Everyone gets into a planking position and lies stiff in weird places. Did you do it?
#18
Trying Out Viral Recipes (especially during self-quarantine): Things like whipped coffee, banana bread, and focaccia. Did you try them out?
Trillian 1 month ago
The concept everyone had lots of time during quarantine to try out weird new hobbies is so baffling. Like, I still had to work. I worked from home then but because daycare was closed I had a very bored 4 year old around all the time. Grocery shopping felt like going on a raid and I was exhausted all the time.
#19
Bottle Flip Challenge: Everyone flips a bottle and tries to make it land upright. Did you do it?
Beak Hookage 1 month ago
Huh, so that's why those kids kept throwing their water bottles like that.
#20
Sharing “America’s Got Talent” Videos: Sharing snippets from the show on social media or sending them to others. Did you do it?
#21
Chain E-mails & Messages: E-mails or messages that end with a mild threat or a wish. Did you do it?
#22
Ancestry Sharing on Social Media: People proudly sharing the DNA results showing their ancestry. Did you do it?
#23
Book Face Friday: Holding up a book cover over your face and taking a picture. Did you do it?
#24
Harlem Shake: Only one person dances along to a song, and when the beat drops, everyone starts dancing and going crazy. Did you do it?
#25
Slime and Kinetic Sand Trend: Buying or making slime and playing with kinetic sand. Did you try it?
Amanda Fondaumiere 1 month ago
Yes, but not because of a trend. Theres strong ADHD and anxiety in my family so those sensory items are useful.
#26
Kony 2012: Sharing the Kony 2012 video and the hashtag #Kony2012. Did you join in on that trend?
Michal Pifko 1 month ago (edited)
I remember back in 2012 YouTube tried to recommend me this video all the time but I never actually watched it. Still have no idea what it was about.

I'm an almost perfect 'no' score (may have had a mood ring from a gum machine, but that's it).

Why is there the option "I wasn't born yet", and not the option "No, but my kids did." ? I protest against ageism and discrimination! /j

Here to add, I was so old for most of these, it was a "younger generation" thing, LOL

I've never been one for going along with what's considered trendy or stylish and I have little to no patience for stuff that goes viral on the internet, where everyone has the attention span of a fly.
