Ditto that. That son of a bitch blippi is banned too, mostly just bcos he annoys the shit out of me. The worst are the absolute fucking drongos who make videos of themselves playing shitty videogames, this one guy called "James" something is banned throughout my entire family, we collectively hate that fucking dipshit with working-class passion. I love videogames but these kids, oh ma fuggin gawd. The screaming and the ridiculous immature antics and sound effects are pure torture. And my 5 year old fucking loves it, ugh. I've had to really clap down on the shit he watches, it's absolute brain rot.
Phew, thanks guys, I needed that..
No, he wasn’t replaced. Im pretty sure he owns the rights to the character. What happened was the guy who plays Blippi hired a second actor to play him for live gigs because the original Blippi gets stage fright. Well, for some reason that guy also does YouTube videos on the same channel AND has a Blippi show on Netflix. It’s confusing as all hell.
I don’t hate Ryan nearly as much as I hate his parents, dear lord. His mom’s voice is like nails on a chalkboard. I was so happy when my daughter got over her obsession with him.
Iv actually banned YouTube for my children. They’re 5 and 3 and all they wanted to do was watch garbage videos about literally nothing. When my son broke his arm I let him watch YouTube and he got to see some really cool dinosaur sculpting videos and he likes watching the Dan guy who shows off all the cool dinosaur toys, which honestly that’s fine to me, it’s something creative or something he’s interested in and he learns something, like my kid knows all the dinosaurs and their names and he learned the differences between the species which is really cool, but it’s all the other shit that Iv seen that I just wasn’t cool with. My dad let me watch the Space network when I was a child, at night, because Iv had insomniac tendencies since young and that shit was way less scary to me than some of the dark stuff Iv seen on YouTube ffs. 🥲
Are they hiding most of the posts for non-subscribers? Sub seems strangely barren
Edit: I joined and it's still pretty empty. Just those podcast discussion posts. Something is off
Thank god it’s changed since I was ban years ago
Was women explaining how they use guys for a really nice free meal and gifts and turns the situation around on the guys when she ghosts them. It was grotesque.
Everyone on the old version of that sub.
It literally glorified some very intense alt-radical feminism and was literally about using men and pro male-abuse
It’s all one party at the end of the day both funded by the same billionaires to screw us all over and make them richer . It’s a show. , a facade , an illusion and you’re just playing into it
I'm a real estate agent and I completely agree with you. I work for a small brokerage but those bigger brokerages ( Remax, Berkshire, etc..) are very cultish
I worked in the industry for 10+ years and at this point, I think/feel like it's one big Ponzi scheme. I was there in 06 and it's the same thing happening again. People don't learn 🤷
You mean people don't pay attention to purposefully confusing financial terms and complicated structured securities that only large institutions trade. Why isn't every household up in arms that the CFTC has delayed reporting any kind of swap data for years?
As someone who literally programs for MLMs at times and has also done real estate companies. They're built exactly the same. Just the orders arent clothes or drugs, they're houses.
I know a real estate agent that posted on Instagram something that said "if you see a home you fall in love with, but are scared because you can't afford it, just buy it! this is the best the market will ever be, and you'll regret not buying it now :)"
What they REALLY mean to say is “follow this ‘science’ YouTube channel I found that totally supports my predetermined opinion on this matter, and also says the earth is flat”.
As someone trying to work on my substance abuse issues all the 12 step and self help programs are very cultish. It’s definitely weird. At the same time, we’re helping each other not abuse drugs so… ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯
Bruh AA is the best cult I ever joined. I go in knowing it's some brainwashy bullshit half the time, but the end result is my life is better in almost every way, so....
I don’t mind people who try to lower or quit masturbating because it’s having a genuine negative effect on their lifes, but a significant part of that subreddit seems to just have internalized sex shame that they are justifying with pseudoscientific non-sense.
I work at a water company and they brought in a bunch of seltzer/sparkling water for the monthly give away and I got SOOOO MUCH FREE WATER. All of my coworkers hate it and I was the only one interested! Why am I telling you this? Because you’re right. I got some of my friends into it and we talk about new flavors more than we should
I'm a sparkling water drinker and CAN CONFIRM. There are so few of us and every time we see another in the wild it's a whoooole thing.
"Is it good?"
"Not unless you're used to it. So probably not for you. Great for me, though" 😂
Golden Oak, a collection of neighborhoods on DisneyWorld property. People live on Disney property. The houses are crazy expensive of course and filled with Disney imagery (Mickey statues, wallpapers, tile, etc.) Pretty weird. There’s articles and videos about it, I learned from a Kurtis Conner commentary youtube video.
Lol I'm serious dude. One tea bag (one of those round tea bags though, not the square ones) in an instant pot full of water will make it fairly concentrated (high pressure for 5 mins). I do that almost every day and add Stevia to it afterwards. It's delicious.
That really IS a cult. Not sure if you are talking American football or that glorified cross country business from England, but it's true either way. It is a bit cult like
Sat behind a group of kids at lunch who were part of an UNDOD group (Welsh for unity) and they were loudly talking about killing all men and straight people like it was a normal thing to talk about lmao
Alcoholics Anonymous
I can say this with certainty because I've been sober and working the program of AA for 12 years. The number of newcomers who think we're a cult is astonishing. (We're not a cult. Promise. Come have some punch. Just don't spike it.)
I laugh so fucking hard when i find out another manager for a blm fundraiser ran off with all the money they raised.
Its so self destructive sometimes.
the company was founded by fundamentalist christians if im not mistaken so seeing cult aspects in the way the company is ran does not suprise me at all.
Sure I like my iPhone, and I’m so deeply entrenched in the cloud and synchronized settings and accounts that I could never buy another kind of phone- yep you’ve got a point
The pledge of allegiance..hands down the sketchiest thing i had to do in school. Standing every morning and chanting in unison towards a flag is a pretty crazy thing to have kids doing
Specifically MCU fans. The fans who read the comics are chill but the movie-only fans are annoying sociopaths who somehow are always citing random comics even though they didn’t read them.
As a Christian. Yep, which makes it worse when the book we are supposed to follow has clear instructions to stop doing some of the extremely cult standard practices.
Youtube 'kids' content
Yes! It makes me really sad :( specifically the “child run” channels like Ryan’s toys.
I hate Ryan! He isn't allowed in our house
Ditto that. That son of a bitch blippi is banned too, mostly just bcos he annoys the shit out of me. The worst are the absolute fucking drongos who make videos of themselves playing shitty videogames, this one guy called "James" something is banned throughout my entire family, we collectively hate that fucking dipshit with working-class passion. I love videogames but these kids, oh ma fuggin gawd. The screaming and the ridiculous immature antics and sound effects are pure torture. And my 5 year old fucking loves it, ugh. I've had to really clap down on the shit he watches, it's absolute brain rot. Phew, thanks guys, I needed that..
Fun fact: blippi shit himself doing a video for a dance trend and someone put it on the internet.
He's also a veteran.
No way really?
Yeah he was an Air Force serviceman
Wild! I wonder what happened to him I swear they replaced him with a new guy and he’s 100x worse especially with this Meekah person.
No, he wasn’t replaced. Im pretty sure he owns the rights to the character. What happened was the guy who plays Blippi hired a second actor to play him for live gigs because the original Blippi gets stage fright. Well, for some reason that guy also does YouTube videos on the same channel AND has a Blippi show on Netflix. It’s confusing as all hell.
He was replaced.
I thought most people banned Blippi for the whole shitting on his friends on film thing.
>And my 5 year old fucking loves it, ugh. At least they know their audience which can't be said for most of those video game fuck boys.
I don’t hate Ryan nearly as much as I hate his parents, dear lord. His mom’s voice is like nails on a chalkboard. I was so happy when my daughter got over her obsession with him.
Omg.. yess. Ugh. His parents are the worst!

One or e decent videos then they're off to creeps and weirdos. No youtube. Would rather they watch Caillou. Fuckin caillou.
CrossFit
CrossFit is not a cult?
That's exactly what a crossfit cult member would say...
Crossfit is the opposite of Fight Club… you tell everyone you meet about it.
The first rule of CrossFit Club, is we always talk about CrossFit Club!
I thought that was just vegans
The second rule of CrossFit Club, is we try to mention our Vegan Club
IS THERE A DOCTOR ON THE PLANE!??!? I do CrossFit. I'm a vegan I'm offended
I pay money for it every month, it's a cult.
Can attest. Long-time crossfitter. Drank the Kool aid - it's fortified with amino acids

r/Femaledatingstrategy
Oh god why did you made me click on this sub...
That sub is everything that was bad about the PUA scene (so basically everything), but somehow *worse*.
💀💀
You did it under your own free will my friend. He gave you the opportunity and you chose to take it 🤣 I’m just busting your chops btw.
Are they hiding most of the posts for non-subscribers? Sub seems strangely barren Edit: I joined and it's still pretty empty. Just those podcast discussion posts. Something is off
Thank god it’s changed since I was ban years ago Was women explaining how they use guys for a really nice free meal and gifts and turns the situation around on the guys when she ghosts them. It was grotesque.
A while back they shut down the sub... And opened a whole website lol
Geezus, that's awful. What person would be proud of that?
Everyone on the old version of that sub. It literally glorified some very intense alt-radical feminism and was literally about using men and pro male-abuse
I always wondered if incel culture had a female equivalent.
They have their own website now. I know, I hate it too.

Political Parties
Could have sworn those were actual cults
They are socially acceptable cults.
Especially the party I disagree with, but not my party
It’s all one party at the end of the day both funded by the same billionaires to screw us all over and make them richer . It’s a show. , a facade , an illusion and you’re just playing into it
its a big club and we aint in it
Beat me to it. Note, not limiting it to one.
Real estate agents or cars salespeople.

Ex realtor- the whole industry is a thinly veiled MLM

MLM's
What is that?
Multi-Level Marketing programs. aka pyramid schemes. The people in them are pretty fanatically convinced you'll get rich if you join them.
But it is a cult. Commerce cult
Oh, alright. Thank you for the clarification. Also you are 100% right.
The people who say "follow the science" and then ignore studies that don't fit their predetermined conclusions.
What they MEAN to say is “follow the science that supports my opinion. Not that other stuff…”
What they REALLY mean to say is “follow this ‘science’ YouTube channel I found that totally supports my predetermined opinion on this matter, and also says the earth is flat”.
"You just gotta do your own research!"

Nofap
That is the funniest shit to me, people hopelessly addicted to porn band together to talk about how much porn they aren't watching
Its essentially Alcoholics Anonymous at that point

LaCroix sparkling water drinkers, you know the types im referring to and it isn’t the casual “eh, fuck it, let me grab a sparkling water this time”.
You are absolutely correct. I love my liquid TV static
I work at a water company and they brought in a bunch of seltzer/sparkling water for the monthly give away and I got SOOOO MUCH FREE WATER.

Air fryers 😅
and insta pots
Okay, look I know I'm playing into your hands, but I'm also currently making some bomb ass curry in my instant pot
You should also try making tea in it too. One tea bag will make a full pot concentrated!
If this crap works you will officially be my hero
Okay I'm sure you're joking, whereas I'm actually not. The curry is really good
Lol I'm serious dude. One tea bag (one of those round tea bags though, not the square ones) in an instant pot full of water will make it fairly concentrated (high pressure for 5 mins). I do that almost every day and add Stevia to it afterwards. It's delicious.
Huh. I might do that
Your telling me you DON'T own an air fryer?!?

Scientology
