Three skibidi toilet edits broke my brain at 2am

Was scrolling TikTok last night trying to find a recipe. Kept seeing these weird skibidi toilet videos where the camera angle kept changing every half second. One had a guy falling through a floor into a toilet. Watched three in a row before I realized my brain felt like static. Anyone else get this weird dizzy fog from those rapid cuts or am I just old?

It's like everything now has to be chopped up so fast you can't even breathe between cuts... commercials, music videos, even some movies feel like they're trying to give you a seizure. Maybe our attention spans are just getting fried from all that quick switching.

Oh man, @kai_burns73 you nailed it. It's like they think if they slow down for even a second we'll all just get bored and click away. I was watching a movie from the 90s the other day and there's this scene where two characters just sit and talk for like three minutes straight with barely any cuts. Felt almost refreshing honestly. Now everything feels designed to grab your attention for a split second and then yank it somewhere else. Makes me wonder if we're all just training our brains to never be still. You ever catch yourself trying to watch something and almost feeling impatient when it doesn't cut away fast enough?

Man, preach. I tried watching a music video from some newer band the other day and literally counted 40 cuts in the first 30 seconds. Gave me a headache. Even older shows I used to love feel weird now when I go back and see how much they let scenes just breathe. The worst is cooking videos online where they show you the ingredients for half a second then cut to the finished dish. Like, thanks, that really taught me how to make it.
