  • That’s how projects go. But I bet it happens faster when enthusiasm for a game has the curve this title did.

  • That’s, like, a normal logical one. It’s actually food, it’s spicy. It makes sense to compete to see who can handle the spicy food. This is independently invented every day.

    Stealing faucets from public bathrooms? That’s not a normal logical one. That’s a devious lick, and something invented to be highly memetic and propelled by a highly optimized algorithm that incentivizes recency, novelty, and dopamine hacking. It even effectively had a brand name!

  • I don’t remember Friendster causing mayhem like this.

    Lemmy seems to not be spreading challenges either.

    You have a point, but TikTok has a unique power in this moment.

    And if the students did see it on TikTok, then it’s factual, specific, reporting.

    TikTok is at the forefront of designing algorithms that optimize for this sort of situation. Reddit isn’t. YouTube does not appear to be. They have their own issues, but it’s not exactly this sort of optimization.

    VRChat is another social network not optimized around incentivizing this mimicking and reposting behavior.

    Snapchat is not built around this sort of algorithm either.
