Before today I had no idea what a Skibidi Toilet was, and now I've got close to two hours of content under my belt.

I'm genuinely impressed by the attempt to tell an overarching narrative through "found footage" from multiple authors witnessing a war with rapidly advancing technology, with the trimmings of conspiracy, infighting and betrayal, all without words, and no more than 3 emotes (thumbs up, zoomer dance, finger wag).

I can't say that it's good by any means, other than as a display of talent for animation and direction.

Still, I have no idea how they could pull this off.

Sure, our timeline is fucked, and the weirdest shit happens all the time. But a profitable movie about sentient toilet heads in a war against camera heads is not on a single persons bingo card.
