It’s interesting how quickly all generations, platforms and… well, everyone stopped shitting on TikTok as one of the worst things for your brain.
Still not installing it.
What’s wrong with gooning, boss?
Gonna be real as an old and fat and gay millennial, I’m actually pretty optimistic about Zoomers and Alphas. I think they are gonna become more anti-tech and move into a more analog kind of lifestyle. I have a ton of zoomer friends who are deleting social media accounts or even gettingh dumbphones, and my 13 year old niece was even asking me about how to burn CDs or transfer stuff to VHS tapes.
Yeah, I’m being optimistic about them. I think they’re gonna be okay.
From stock market gambling, LLM gambling, Crypto gambling, or sports betting gambling gambling, to subscription services for every thing and reduction of consumer protections, E-V-E-R-Y F-U-C-K-I-N-G T-H-I-N-G in this world is a god damned scam.
In late-stage capitalism, the only way to make a successful business is one of the following items:
- A scam
- Gambling
Is gooning just making stupid faces when taking care of yourself?
If by making stupid faces you mean orgasming and “taking care of yourself” as “touching yourself”, then sure
Ain’t nuthin wrong with a good ol goonfest
I feel like vapes have undone all the progress against smoking and more.
i feel like you can’t have grown up in a smoking household and seriously believe this
People who were trying to quit via the various methods or those that quit prior to vapes suddenly started smoking again via the vapes because the tobacco industry said they were safer. They didn’t mention there was 10 times the amount of nicotine in them.
Community Notes:
Vapes are safer than cigarettes, nobody in the history of ever has claimed they were safer than fresh air (city air, maybe). Independent studies done (mostly by the UK outside of the Phillip-Morrisphere) show it to be 95% safer than analog smoking, due to a lack of tar and other carcinogens produced by the burning of plant matter.
Vapes have more nicotine in them than cigarettes but “10 times” is a nonsense number pulled directly from your ass. What mg/ml are you referencing exactly? It’s commonly sold between 3mg and 6mg for freebase and 20, 40, or 50 for salt nic, one of those is probably about correct for your math, which one?
Furthermore the reason for the increased nicotine content is the disparity in the absorption of nicotine between the ROIs, vaping it is less efficient than smoking it, and freebase absorbs differently than salt nic at that. You absorb less nicotine/hit vaping than smoking, so if you increase the nic content you can compensate for that. Of course you can overdo it too, and I also used to smoke a pack and a half a day, some only smoke like say half a pack.
The real “issue” is the ease, for instance I can vape at my desk at work but not smoke, so I vape more since I don’t have to take a whole ass break for it, but in essence I’ve simply digitized the Mad Men era, they used to do what I do, but analog. Then again, if I couldn’t do that, I’d have a log of zyns on me, it’s not exactly like I’d be nicotine free.
BUT would it be safer for me to chainsmoke cigarettes all day, or vape a bunch? That is the question, not “would it be safer for me to vape or not?”
Inb4 “popcorn lung.” You know cigarettes have 2,000x the amount of diacetyl (the responsible chem) as vapes? And nobody has EVER gotten popcorn lung from vaping NOR cigarettes? That’s because it requires the powdered form to enter your lungs and settle like asbestos/mesothelioma, which has ONLY been observed in one popcorn factory that didn’t use respirators.
Pretty sure that was why they were invented, cig companies made so much money
Yup. When vapes and ecigs started being a thing, I kicked so many pissy whiny babies out of my store on the daily for it.
Not allowed to do that at my current job.
I once owned a very popular food shop, and I always loved telling people to knock off the vapes. Now and then, someone would try to look tough in front of their buddies, and try to argue with me, and only succeeded in getting them, and their buddies, kicked out.
I would tell them: “This shop is my kingdom, and I’m the Emperor, and what I say goes, PERIOD. Do what I say, or get out!” I would say it exactly like that, while glaring into their eyes. Few ever argued a word after that, and those that did, were tossed out, FOREVER.
I would put all those hooks up my ass and let them stretch me in all eleven dimensions. Thank God I grew up only with 4chan and Reddit when they had subs like spacedicks and jailbait. Fuck, you remember Ren n Stimpy? Rocko’s Modern Life? Caligula? The shit that poisoned our lil brains…
Gotta respect the honesty.
It’s wild that Rocko and Ren & Stimpy we’re considered “kids shows” lol especially Ren & Stimpy
Yea, imagine seeing Caligula when you were of the age where you were unsure if the blue mold stuff growing on your balls that tasted like pennies was a part of the new hairs you were getting down there.
Sorry, got sucked in by the gambling ads before the video. Now I’m $20,000 in debt.
one of these things is not like the others
I feel like you could say that about all of these.

Funny how they are genuinely so bad and then there is… gooning like, did you finish the ideas? xD
gooning isnt just self satisfaction. its like, an unhealthy obsession with it. to put it bluntly its being “lost in the sauce” but on like steroids.
its basically an addiction
I think crypto rugpulls are the easiest to avoid. Some of them are so obviously rug pulls idk how anyone put their money in. Better off putting your money on a Kalshi bet.
I was more thinking these have the potential to turn into addictions. Putting an extra $20 on the game is fine too imo.
I was feeling pretty good about my life choices until I saw the one labelled gooning.
Opiate epidemic 🎣
It’s a better investment than kalshi. At least you can get fucked up on opiates.
When dealers start offering buy now pay later we’re done as a society
Junkies are always asking for that, but their credit ratings are zero.
