Tik Tok.

Not Tik Toker or Tik Tok Content Producer.

They want to be one with Tik Tok, they want to be Tik Tok. Every generation we are moving closer to the convergence of mankind.

Except for that one guy who refuses to move away from IRC

I mean, stand up your own instance of peertube and you kinda can be lol

[–] dangblingus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 1 year ago

Basically Evangelion. But instead of cool ass mechs, it's idiot kids doing cringe hand dances.

Is there any other job where multiple successive presidential administrations try to ban you?

I wanted to be a holy fool but I'm an atheist so fool it is.

[–] WhatAmLemmy@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

When I grow up I'm going to bovine university; majoring in tik tok.

[–] Nowyn@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago

I played being a bureaucrat. I became woke moralist. Well, kind of.

[–] Wild_Mastic@lemmy.world 54 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (3 children)

Holy fool?

A new job just dropped.

[–] skulblaka@kbin.social 27 points 1 year ago

New? Rasputin would like a word.

Ha. The kids are alright.

[–] ikiru@lemmy.ml 29 points 1 year ago

I would love to be a professional AirBnB squatter. That sounds awesome.

Paid to permanently travel internationally and stay in AirBnBs for free and harass shitty landlords all over the world. That's the life.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 27 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Quite encouraging for the political future of the country that woke moralist and bureaucrat are above holy fool 😂

[–] Lev_Astov@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I really want to know what a woke moralist is and how this poll was presented to kids such that this was a common selection.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Probably just a right wing echochamber term for someone who doesn't like bigotry and discrimination and has the nerve to say so 🤷

As for it being included in a survey, I have a sneaking suspicion that this meme is BASED ON a true story at most 😁

[–] InfiniWheel@lemmy.one 2 points 1 year ago

It was in use among other meaningless buzzwords way before that. That guy's wanna be villain speech just launched it into stardom

[–] HurlingDurling@lemm.ee 27 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I mean, let's see.

  1. You work from home (or anywhere with internet)
  2. You are your own boss (esk)
  3. You can possibly make more money than any of the other jobs listed below.
  4. You job is to have fun making content.
  5. All you need is a smartphone (no diploma, no certification)
  6. Companies give you free shit to promote on your channel and pay you as well.

Honestly, I hate it but it fucking makes sense tho.

EDIT: Also seeing the rest of the list, all other jobs are doing something ilegal or corrupt, and that os worse than TikTok IMO.

13.65% of kids are really really boring.

[–] PyroNeurosis@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

When push comes to shove, you gotta do what you love.

Even if it's not a good idea.

[–] DeGandalf@kbin.social 16 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Those numbers don't even try to add up to 100%, so I guess each kid wants multiple things

[–] LadyAutumn@lemmy.blahaj.zone 22 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think theoretically you could be a tik tok poster/woke moralist/airbnb squatter all at once.

[–] kautau@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Don’t forget holy fool

[–] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

You mean I've been stealing the job of a woke moralist all this time? Let this random Lemmy comment serve as my immediate ignominious resignation. I'm no blackleg, god damnit.

Good thing I didn't quit my day job as a bureaucrat.

[–] Tar_alcaran@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I've been woke moralizing for free, like some kind of chump. No more I say, I'll stop doing it for free right now! I demand fair pay and equa... Damn it.

[–] Samsy@lemmy.ml 14 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Why not all of them? Hire as an uber driver, paint wojaks of your guests (while driving, shout: Jesus, take the wheel). Film everything for tiktok, and rob them out at destination. The rest is the stuff you talk about while driving.

Edit: don't forget to steal the keys for your new airbnb squad.

[–] Roundcat@kbin.social 12 points 1 year ago

I didn't choose the crisis actor life. It told me not to come to school.

[–] Nakoichi@hexbear.net 10 points 1 year ago

I wanna be an AirBnB squatter. That sounds like praxis to me.

[–] squiblet@kbin.social 10 points 1 year ago

I just hope they don’t take my boomer job as a blahaj puppeteer…. fuckin woke kids

[–] Disgusted_Tadpole@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Johnny Cash turned out to be a Highwayman, he was doing alright. Way to go kids

[–] agamemnonymous@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I thought that was Willie Nelson? Cash became a starship captain

[–] accidentalloris@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

These tables are how I keep my house hot!

You don't know how to treat the customer! You don't know how to treat the crypt keeper!

A train robber in 2023? Lol

[–] worfamerryman@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What’s a wojak artist? And a crisis actor. And anything else on this list you care to explain. I know what a TikTok is.
