    I’m a millennial who doesn’t really know.

    But. It seems like the duck billed platypus of zoomer humor. YouTube pays for views. And people just make million of videos. And this one happened to catch on. And it’s so bizarre people show it to their friends. Hilarity ensues. 🤷

    Its what the blind algorithm hath brought us.

          Edit: and even after skimming this thread, I still have no clue what skibidi toilets are, haha.

            They were popular gags that dominated the millennial YouTube landscape. I can’t say they were American things since I’m not American and they were still popular here. Possible you just missed, the internet’s big
