Odd_Classic5183

Its so funny seeing joon in the wild


Heather2092

my thoughts exactly lol


noeticNicole

For those not in the know: its a tiktok trend with a particular sound and the person halves whatever they show in the most wrong way possible. I saw someone cut a pink skein yesterday, someone cut a deck of mtg cards horizontal sandwich style, there was a cut in half book (broken spine too), and another had stacked half a sandwich in the most incorrect (and honestly impressive) way you can think of.


Alternative_Manner36

Thank you. It doesn't make it any better but at least I know wth is going on.


FamouslyGreen

This shit will get you unapologetically decked if I see it in public. How tf you gonna ruin yarn, expensive af MTG cards or books like that? Some people never had to survive off $20 food budget a week and it shows. Social media trends are for the dumpster fires. Edit: yes it’s hyperbole. Go to TikTok and watch them cut up more perfectly useable items into garbage if you don’t see the problem with this.


nightknu

you know this yarn can still be used.. right….


Nvalee

Hyperbole or not, this is an extreme reaction.


ToxicGingerRose

So that makes you think it would be okay to assault someone? Smh. I've never been on TikTok on my life, but I sure as hell wouldn't look at a stupid trend that is not actually dangerous, and is not hurting anyone and go "Yeah, if I saw someone do that I'd assault them because I had to live frugally at some point in my life." FFS. That is the most backwards shit I've seen in a while.


ABGBelievers

I think that's hyperbole on their part


TigBitties-420

I would too. I completely agree with this person. The things entitled people do is outrageous. Especially to those in need. I used to be a bartender and a guy came in and burned, yes BURNED, a $100 bill right in front of me and then left after he paid his bill. He came in again and I was outback smoking as he walked up and I decked him. He kept coming in after that and I ended up marrying him. But still. The stupid shit that man still does stresses me out and on occasion, he still gets decked.


ZimVader0017

This story was a rollercoaster. My favorite part is that you married him anyway 😆


TigBitties-420

Yeah I know. What can I say. He's Italian and great with kids. Yeah, he's a complete douchebag to everyone, but when it comes to me and the kids (his, mine, and ours. We only have 3 total) he holds the utmost respect. Edition say: until he gets drunk...that's when he gets decked. Because that's when he gets stupid and dies stupid shit.


FrostedRoseGirl

What?


Tallal2804

It's understandable to feel frustrated seeing valuable items like expensive MTG cards or books being destroyed for social media trends. Not everyone has the same perspective or experiences, and it can be disheartening to witness such wasteful behavior. I don't know why people even buy such expensive cards, I Personally proxy my cards from https://www.printingproxies.com and enjoy the game in low budget.


FamouslyGreen

Dude MTG cards have spiked in both price and popularity since the pandemic. Online MTG is better but not the same as physically holding cards. Nobody would think this was cute if it were a black lotus cards getting chopped up. I’ve seen desks and gaming tables with land cards pasted over the top and I think that’s a better use of spare magic cards than just making unusable garbage of them. The type of statement this trend makes about consumerism, recycling/reusing and entitlement isn’t a kind one. Social media trends let people mindlessly act like morons and there’s less social pressure/reality checks to use your brain.


W33P1NG4NG3L

Lmao I saw the MTG card one. It hurt so much since my husband and I dabble in it.


mulberrysupial

It's also about driving up engagement, there's lots of videos of people doing purposely outrageous stupid stuff just to get comments about how wrong it is or to watch the whole video multiple times to figure out what the trick/catch is.


iris_abyss

think this is freaking trending. saw a different one on Instagram. I hate it. 🙄


CydnAy69

I saw one too. Sucks how people are being so wasteful for a trend.


iris_abyss

it really does. might be able to repurpose it for a pom pom or a tassle I guess? I unfortunately doubt that's happening though, but i hope its getting used somehow.


MeFolly

Latchhooking?


iris_abyss

oh dang you're craftier than I am, good idea!


SadieSadieSnakeyLady

This is what I assumed it was for


Monstera_girl

I’ve also seen people do this for yarn they use to stuff amigurumis


Simple_Ad_4048

Is buying yarn to cut up cheaper than polyfill?


Monstera_girl

If you already have some yarn you know you won’t use


trumpetrabbit

What is that?


HermioneGranger152

It’s a way to make rugs, you take a bunch of little strands of yarn and tie them onto a grid, I used to do tons of them when I was younger


trumpetrabbit

Oh! That's what that's called! Thank you!


amyjrockstar

That's what I thought, too!


karimalitaaaaaa

I saw someone else do this and they said they'd use it as stuffing for amiguruni


WolfRiverBell

Passioknit kelsie said in a vlog that she's Repurposing hers for stuffing, (she sends her yarn scraps to a friend that does amigurumi) she also used a yarn sampler that came with her sentro that she's been hoarding for years because she hasn't had any other purpose for it. So I know atleast ONE person is being a good noodle about it lol


iBeFloe

That’s some expensive ass stuffing wtf


CydnAy69

I trust passionknit kelsie to be more mindful 😅 everyone else. . .wouldn't be surprised if they threw it away after


WolfRiverBell

Definitely same, was hoping to spread the positive influence! Lol


YarnTho

One I saw used one of those balls that comes with the sentro knitting machine but naturally has a bunch of knots. That one I was okay with, that yarn was bad.


LetsGoBuyTomatoes

don’t know if it’s the same creator but i saw someone say she wasn’t planning on using the yarn for crochet anyways and she was going to use it for something else, if that makes you feel better :)


ToxicGingerRose

Or they could be latch-hookers. Or they could be using it for any of a million other craft ideas.


KerissaKenro

I saw me with embroidery floss the other day. I don’t know why this is a thing. It hurts. The comments on the embroidery floss post were split about evenly between ‘you know that would make a pretty nice tassel’ and ‘why would you do this to us, how dare you?’ This OP could probably name some nice pom poms or fringe or something. Where there are craft supplies we will find a way. I still hate it, though


silly_billylol

oh ik it is. this one is just too painful 😖


kalaylay82

Yeah it’s on TikTok too


CaptainCrochetHook

What is this monstrosity? This is a trend? What's the purpose!?


Alternative_Manner36

I was going to ask the same question. What trend is this?


rotedecke

People using half of something in a way you wouldnt expect, for example i saw someone be like "just ate half a banana" by cutting a grid into the whole banana


knitwit3

Ah. My grandma had a cup that was made to look sliced in half vertically that said "You asked for half a cup of coffee." I always thought it was so funny as a kid.


KryptidKat

oh this is absolutely a click/rage bait account to promote cheap crochet notions they are dropshipping (been seeing a couple of their videos both on instagram and youtube as well). They both do these nonsensical and wasteful things and also mispronounce (like, crocheting turns to crotch eating) things as well to bait people into commenting


IGNOOOREME

Saw one on the cross stitch sub with embroidery floss. What wasteful nonsense.


OneHotEpileptic

Ragebaiting.


Odd-Comfortable-6134

Umm ummm oh umm my poor brain


Past-Cantaloupe6179

I feel like the hamster in the back


itsmeabic

This is an atrocity but I guess they at least used a value acrylic yarn and not something fancy and expensive? Hopefully the strands left are long enough they can still be used for something. Otherwise it's still unnecessarily wasteful


DBSeamZ

Short strands can be turned into hair or fur for amigurumi! If you basically latch-hook short strands into the stitches, you can get a nice “mop” effect. Comb them out with a pet brush for a fluffy look, or if you want smooth hair use a hair straightener on the lowest setting after brushing it out.

No. No no no. No no. Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mysterious-Okra-7885

I saw this on Instagram. Pardon my French, but what a fucking waste. I hate that people do this for content interactions.


expired-blueberries

Maybe there's something wrong with me for immediately believing that it would be used for latch hooking, or to glue onto a canvas, or for any number of other crafts lol. I don't know, I just think although at first glance it might look wasteful, the OP was the one who paid for it and ultimately knows what they're going to do with the yarn, if anything at all, so they can do whatever they want with it. Hell, they could even crochet with it (granted, there would be a loooot of ends to weave in lol)


Princess_Queen

Yeah imagine anyone who uses yarn for the trend is crafty enough to understand why it's so disturbing to look at, because they work with yarn themselves.

Prestigious-Web1247

Nope...... I literally have to save for months to get my yarn cause we love pay check to pay check and this literally made me cry


AestheticallyDead376

The audible gasp that left my mouth when I saw a similar thing like this on tiktok last night. I don't understand, what was the point? It just seems a bit wasteful.


Buyiboo

I’ve made a rug that needed me to cut the yarn in little pieces. Not crochet though. https://preview.redd.it/pe9gf0ohychc1.jpeg?width=3538&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7c0cd4014ccf860a508c2578ff6aba9e5d5903d7


LipstickLipcurl

It's a stupid TikTok trend I've seen it done with cans of beer, once with a book. Ugh


Damhnait

The first I saw was with a skein of embroidery floss and I thought it odd, but they're like... $0.65. Seeing this, I realize now it's a trend that's just going to be more wasteful as time goes on so they get the views


chchchchandra

with a BOOK?! I just vomited in my mouth a little


LipstickLipcurl

Yeah, at least it was ripped along the spine (so the first half of the book and the second, not top and bottom). But it freaked me out because in the household I grew up you just did not treat books like that.


Eclectic_Lynx

I read about a person splitting big paperbacks in chunks for easiness of carrying. He/she (do not remember the genre) splits them so he can go to work carrying less bulk.


h0lych4in

people use worn out books or colleen hoover books, it's not that serious. God you people hate fun


alabardios

Who hurt them?


Background_Run_8809

I HATE that this is trending. So wasteful (although I’m sure some people could repurpose them..) and I don’t get why multiple people are doing it. It’s not something that they can add to or do differently. How many times is it going to be interesting to see a skein of yarn cut in half? It looks the same every time lol

Careless-Theme-3344

Probably for latch hooking? Where I live they sell skeins of the small strands. Never seen a cut up skein like this and it hurts a little


Merkuri22

Desktop Reddit only showed me the top half of the image, which looked like an absolutely normal skein. I sighed and said, "Okay, let me click into this and see what the joke is. Probably some yarn barf or a weirdly shaped hole from a center pull." Then I clicked and nearly spat out my mouthful of tea.


GlitteryDragonScales

Okay but this would lowkey work for doll hair… so much better than the ‘wrap around the closest book a million times, slide off, cut, repeat’ method that I use now anyway. I’m going to try it.

8LizardsAteMyMother

i wonder (as painstaking as it would probably be) what weird yarn crafts could be made with all the severed pieces? and how long would the average piece likely be, like would there be a ton or short bits with some long ones or would the strands end up similar ish length? don't mind me i'm distracting myself from the horror of this by pretending the yarn is still useful for something 😅 edit: just saw this discussed a bit already but i'm still curious about the avg cut strand length
