Speaker 1 (00:00):
Do you feel like humans are getting dumber and dumber
by the second. It's the Jewell Show. Well, there are
a few ways you can tell. Spend any amount of
time going through airport security and watch just how confused
people get about putting their belongings in a bin. Or
you can take out your phone and open up any
social media app and spend two seconds on it. And

(00:20):
if you need more proof of just how far we
haven't come as a species, authorities have had to issue
warnings about some new TikTok trends that are out there.
Oh no, I will go over them next so you
can feel like the smartest person in the world. Eight
And also wonder why would anybody ever think that's a
good idea? Right after this, it's the Jewell Show. Kids
nowadays they spend all their time on the TikTok, just TikTok,

(00:46):
and their life away doing these idiotic dance channlenges. Why
back in my day we were smart, We did things
like eat tide pods and we were fine. But now
there's a whole bunch of new TikTok chats is out
there that are even more brained than eating tidepods. Impossible
and if you need proof of that, we're about to

(01:06):
go over some of the new challenges that are out
there that authorities are issuing warnings for people to not try.
So if you want to feel like a genius, congrats,
you're in luck you haven't done one of these challenges. Also,
according to new data from two hundred and fifty thousand
adults in fifty countries, social media everywhere is on the decline,
really except for here in America. All over the world,

(01:30):
people are kind of getting off of social media because
they're tired of ads and AI videos being everywhere but
non in America. When America is still on the rise.
We love our social media. We still believe the AI
is real. And what are some of the new TikTok
trends that are out there that the authorities are warning
people not to try. Will tell you what the number
one is in just a second. It's absolutely ridiculous. But

(01:52):
let's go over some of the other top ones. There's
the microwave manifestation ritual that authorities are warning people to
not do.

Speaker 2 (02:01):
Excuse me, and.

Speaker 1 (02:02):
That started from an influencer a manifestation TikTok account that
told users to write down their dreams on a paper towel,
wrap it around a spoon and microwave it for thirty
three seconds. Wow, send the energy into the universe and
your dreams will come true.

Speaker 2 (02:18):
I believe it.

Speaker 1 (02:19):
This is actually psycho.

Speaker 3 (02:20):
If you put a spoon in the fridge, I mean
in the microwave, doesn't it like start sparks?

Speaker 1 (02:25):
Yeah, set a fire and so Yeah. People are reporting
setting off fire alarms, ruining microwaves, and also a dorm
room had to be evacuated because of the fire. Well
recently because someone was trying the TikTok manifestation microwave manifestation ritual.

Speaker 3 (02:42):
Okay, like, I'm here for the manifestation rituals and burning things,
but not in a microwave. Me. You do burn things,
you have to do it safely outside or like.

Speaker 1 (02:53):
In a sink, not in a microwave. Not in a
microwave spoon. No, they're going over some of the new
TikTok challenges out there that authorities are warning people to
not do. This one is ridiculous as well. A diy
orthodontist oka probably a fifteen year old, claim that you
can strain your teeth by wedging toothpicks between them at

(03:14):
night and then wrapping floss around your jaw like a muzzle.
So sleep with the toothpicks wedged in between your teeth
and it can straighten out your teeth well. And they
just give you like a what do they call it? Like?
Go just be gaps in your teeth. Oh, people are
actually doing this though. Dozens of users reported splinters in
their gums, loosened teeth. Oh the hospital for swallowing toothpicks.

(03:37):
Oh sleep.

Speaker 3 (03:40):
Can you imagine choking on that just because you didn't
want to payper braces?

Speaker 2 (03:43):
Can you imagine how any one of the hospital and
tell the doctor, Hey, what's wrong with your kid?

Speaker 1 (03:46):
I got toothpicks in Yeah? I saw on TikTok that
if you put toothpicks in between your teeth and then
wrap some floss around your head when you sleep, it'll
space your teeth out and make them straight. Sorry, get teeth.
If you do that, I think they should take your
teeth away from you them.

Speaker 3 (04:02):
No, the DNS are freaking out with that news.

Speaker 1 (04:08):
It's ridiculous what people believe on social media. Here's another
trend that's out there that people are actually doing that.
Authorities are warning people to not do the rice cooker facial.
Whoa beauty influencer, Yeah, told people that they should steam
their faces directly over a rice cooker to help open

(04:29):
up the pores and it will also infuse them with
ancestral energy. Okay, why, I don't know, but maybe what
kind of rice. So maybe it depends on what kind
of rise you're using. I don't know, Like how actually
bad is that?

Speaker 2 (04:41):
Because I'm not gonna I whenever I'm I'm boiling something
like pasta or whatever, it kind of feels nice to good. Yeah,
push your face like over the steam.

Speaker 1 (04:48):
Well, I used to do it all the time with
my mom. We would give ourselves facials.

Speaker 3 (04:51):
We would boil a pot of water and then we
would take towels and stick our heads in it with
the towel on, so the steam would just go straight
to your face.

Speaker 1 (04:58):
You put your face in the water. You don't put
your face the water, but you put your face over
the steam. But this was not that bad then, Yeah,
I don't know, this is that bad rice cooker facial.

Speaker 3 (05:05):
But the rice cooker part for the ancestral connection, the ancestral.

Speaker 1 (05:08):
Energy that gets burned into your face, I don't know.
I don't know about that part. The biggest TikTok trend though,
that authorities are issuing and worrying about saying please, please
do not do This reminds me of the tide pod challenge. Ah,
it's called the chlorine smoothie. Clinton. One TikToker claimed that

(05:30):
if you blend small amounts of pool chlorine with kale
and protein powder as detox is your bloodstream and activates
third eye clarity.

Speaker 3 (05:44):
Are you highs? Your body shutting down? Your third eye
is starting to appear.

Speaker 1 (05:48):
I don't think you can drink chlorine like that, already
said to issue warning that said chlorine is literally poison
and is not activated alkaline juice. Okay, do not drink chlorine.

Speaker 2 (05:59):
Is They put chlorine in pools and you sometimes drink
a little over a lot so.

Speaker 1 (06:06):
And that is how people believe these foot concerns are
right there.

Speaker 3 (06:10):
She just

Speaker 1 (06:12):
Feel cleaner here
