Comment on Kids are short-circuiting their school-issued Chromebooks for TikTok clout

  I never intentionally destroyed expensive electronics to “try to impress” anyone in real life, let alone online (although that didn’t quite exist yet).

  So, yeah, I’m sure.

    My buddy stuck a paper clip in an electrical socket while we were in the cafeteria. Because his cousin had told him it would shoot sparks across the room. All it did was make him scream real loud, then the power to half of the cafeteria went out when the breaker blew.

    Another friend “accidentally” stapled his homework to his hand, to try and get out of going to music class. Apparently his plan was to ham it up and go to the nurse instead. The teacher laughed, called him an idiot, and sent him to music class with a band-aid.

    Kids have always been fucking stupid. The only difference is that now every kid has an internet-connected camera in their pocket, so their stupidity is more visible.

        I had a girl staple her hand by accident, went to the nurse. We spent the next 30 minutes watching the teacher deal with a kid trying to staple himself on purpose so he could leave too.

        He did eventually get to leave, but not because of the staple.

    When I was a kid schools didn’t have expensive electronics to destroy. But we sure drew a ton of penises in expensive textbooks.

      Those textbooks cost pennies. It’s the licenses that were expensive.
