    TikTok.

    Not even a hate train thing, I just find the format of the platform confusing and it’s never personally “clicked” for me.

    Can’t be that surprised however since I feel the same of Instagram and Pinterest. To each their own, but I never fully understood the appeal.

    Labubus? Dubai chocolate and more generally half of the viral trends… Using a red filter and dancing nude for TikTok or claim online not to take a dump for a month… I mean I know it has to be some weird form of entertainment. But I wouldn’t say I “get” it.

    And half the political landscape…

      I tried Dubai chocolate when visiting the region last year. The taste was alright. I’ve had better. I guess most of its popularity is due to marketing and projection of exclusivity.

        Yeah, same same. It’s alright, nothing wrong with it. But there’s better chocolate and also much nicer things with pistachios. Like Ice creme or just roasted salted pistachios.

        I tried one recently, and it was really disappointing. It was a wafer biscuit with some sort of nutty spread inside, but didn’t taste particularly different from a hazelnut Kit Kat.

        Definitely not worth the £4

        I went into a Showcase once not knowing what Dubai Chocolate was, and apparently so many people were stealing them they had to have them available behind the counter for the cashier to hand out after payment was received.

    Celebrity gossip and reality TV. I don’t see the appeal in following the lives of people I have no connection to. The documentation of their every move seems so intrusive too.

    I’m not a fan of consumerist trends that involve buying many different versions of one thing either.

      I don’t see the appeal

      It’s about learning how others feel and react upon hearing the same story. To learn if they’re a compatible person, the way their mind works. Put the feelers out for an emotional connection.

      I like some of her stuff for nostalgia reasons. Shake It Off would play all the time at my first workplace, and to date that was my favourite job.

    gossip and drama about other people. trading rumors and lies about them too.

    it turns me off. it seems to excite most people. it’s rare i can ever spend time with a group of people without them talking shit about someone who isn’t there. i find it repugnant.

    Ball sports, like all of them, football, baseball, basketball, etc.

    I’m much more of a wheel/balance sports kinda guy, particularly BMX flatland, and also a bit of unicycling.

      My Nana in England insists that the very things my friends like the most of British television are the things she hates the most lol. Doesn’t like Monty Python, doesn’t like Dr. Who, and hates Jeremy Clarkson so much she can’t stand the sight of him on “the telly”, so that’s a no for Top Gear.

    Lin Manuel-Miranda. A much better politically-motivated hip hop artist (Immortal Technique) would fling him into trash cans in high school. Lin’s been trying to catch up ever since.
