Dude could have just implemented a skibidi command economy with rationing and had everything work fine.
Yeah but the Skibidi CIA will coup the father, and the kids will get a non-democratically elected step-father.
It happened to me and now I have to call Juan Guaidó dad everytime I want to spend some skibidi bucks.
My kids want to spend real money on a silly gambling game, how do I address this?
By issuing currency, of course!
father of the year
Hey at least the guy is present and cares, that puts him ahead of a lot of “fathers” tbh
Just want to take a second and say thank God I had Warcraft 3 instead of Roblox growing up.
Thank god I had nintendo ds and minecraft. No child scamming micro transactions there
There was a period in Minecraft where predatory mtx were going as hard as they do in Roblox
People set up private servers and then sell use of admin commands or mods for real money. Stuff like 100 diamonds spawned in for $5. If course mods make it more seamless by implementing currency systems directly into the game, but the basic premise is selling in game power for real money. It's extremely popular to do this in other games like Rust and Ark as well
One of the best things my parents did was not let me play video games.
I like video games myself but honestly think I probably won’t let my kids play them (and won’t myself then either of course) or at least until they would be like 10. I don’t see any good coming out of that. Same thing with television to be honest
I think if I have kids I'm gonna break out the old consoles in order, so that they have an appreciation for the history and because it'll probably be a self-limiting hobby due to looking like shit compared to anything on a phone
I think that the console issue might be that if you aren’t used to the newer stuff then it still seems great. Even with the 2600, you can play for a very long time and enjoy it. Definitely not as addictive for people as the modern gambling games played by a lot of kids
Up until the early-mid 90s there were the lingering effects of arcade-oriented design where shit was super hard to get your quarters, but yeah even that's not so bad compared to the newer shit that takes your quarters digitally.
EDIT: He should create a Skibidibux IMF and offer them all loans denominated in Skibidibux that come with loan covenants about performing household chores.
they'll put each other into indentured servitude if he does this
The kids will get a better loan from the belt and road skibidinitiative.
the post is deleted but all the comments are still there pretty evenly split between "remove all roblox" and "here's how you can tweak your deranged skibidi toilet economy to work"
Don't listen to people telling you this is a good system. If your kids are fighting and assaulting each other, it's not working. Just abolish the system give each kid a max amount they can spend per month on this stuff. Non-transferable. (120 upvotes)
Yet when I say that capitalism should be abolished people call me a dirty commie smdh 😔
My wife told me she thought this system wasn't working well and I didn't agree.
This guy went to reddit for skibidiconomy tips to win the argument with his wife.
Talk about a half measure.
"You kids are assaulting each other to pay a virtual toilet money, none of you are getting anything and you're all getting jobs"
This will clearly have a good impact on his children and won't lead to distrust among themselves or make them turn every petty problem into a fight to the death. Surely tis a good system of raising kids, the fucking IMF father. Lmao
My god, just say no and block roblox on your router. Tell your kids to go the fuck outside
the real trick is to not let them know you've blocked it.
"You can't connect to your game? Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app?"
holy shit lmao
Also this is a great way to get them to self-teach IT, in a year they'll be like hey dad did you know all our ethernet cables are still cat5?
Pool the toilet dollars into a central fund that can only be drawn down with the consent of all of the children. Put an expiry date on all toilet dollars so if they can't agree they all get nothing.
It'll either force them to work together or teach them how best to bicker over the will of their estranged father.
wtf are you talking about lmao, this rules, everything old is new again
This is like some classic G-mod. I will also admit it's just a little too uncanny valley for me to sit through very long.
typical yakubian capitalist move to engage in anti-worker monetary devaluation schemes. Full and uncritical support to the children's uprising. No bedtime without skibidi time
What the actual fuck is going on here? "Skibidi toilet" what???
My kid used to play Roblox, which I understand is riddled with bullshit, but this is new to me and just utterly wild.
I guess this is the kinda stuff I missed out on (luckily avoided??) by just having one child - no bizarre sibling rivalry over opaque internet currency.
Afaik it's basically like those Garry's mod videos from the 2000s. Gen Alpha-millenial alliance strengthens.
Seriously, there's ideology happening here. There are two factions, the skibidi toilets and the machine agents, locked in an escalating arms race which gradually destroys the entire world they're fighting over. The toilets have human heads grotesquely warped but toilet bodies while the agents have human bodies which are always in businesswear but machine heads, specifically machines of surveillance and propaganda (security cameras, televisions, and loudspeakers). The toilets primarily use physical attacks or eye lasers while the agents use more and more machines attached to their bodies. The toilets can parasitize the agents, but the agents quickly develop technological countermeasures.
The perspective is always that of an agent.
What does this say about surveillance, about government, about war and revolution and humanity? I don't know but it's not nothing.
i like that the toilets are disabled by flushing. that's some Doofenshmirtz enemy design right there
The toilets develop little caps to go over their flushers, too. Truly there's A Lot Going On Here.
I cannot adequately express how much I love this analysis, you fucking rock.
I've barely scratched the surface. I'm going to be thinking about this shit for days.
There are two factions, the skibidi toilets and the machine agents,
The skibidi toilets are a radicalized group who gets "normies" liberals to join them, basically Maoism.
The perspective is always that of an agent.
bourgeois dictatorship smh
What does this say about surveillance, about government, about war and revolution and humanity?
"humanity" no idealism please, there is a struggle between workers and property owners
Call me a boomer, but this should be illegal to show to children
Yeah I'm pretty sure caillou was like scientifically proven to make children become assholes
it makes a bunch of people on reddit irrationally mad about those darn kids so critical support
THANK YOU! This answered questions my teen had about a conversation he overheard, and it absolutely delighted me. Idk what it says about me that I love this, but I super do.
it means you were either on the internet circa 2007 and enjoyed youtube poops and garry's mod videos, or you're about to learn about and enjoy them
Gmod animator made a thing, shit blew up with children and now we're here and are kinda forced to exist with low quality bullshit that gets peddled to kids by every greedy son of a removed. DaFuq!?Boom! is the guy who originally made this and I appreciate his creativity with what he has even if it's not everyone's cup of tea.
I love that this weird shit blew up! There's something truly magical about a weirdo finding their niche and audience.
Hey I'm all for it too. I grew up with weird, abstract and surrealist Gmod animations. I love them with all my heart. CrazyScoutFin, Eltorro64Rus, Kitty0706 and more. Good shit, and it makes me happy to see younger generations enjoy the same slop I did! For better or for worse lmao
we had a good thing going
the kids are not alright
