The Never-Ending Problem of TikTok's Overconsumption

I think we're all overestimating how much we ACTUALLY need for basic human experiences.

I feel bad for all the people who think they need all those things.

tiktok’s obsession with overconsumption is genuinely something i’ll never be able to understand

[kimmeeb]

The dirty/clean sign for the dishwasher actually lowkey makes sense if you share chores with your family or roommates so nobody mixes up the dishes. I had one when I had roommates, but I got it for $1 at the dollar store not $40 😂

As a crafter/painter, that silicone mat/palette would be a table saver. And when using with little kids using a dollop of paint is preferable. Even for adults much less waste overall.

The amount of body sprays and body washes and sugar scrubs that woman Those will expire before she can use them.

Overconsumption is literally crazy now, like... WHY would I need something like a 15-step handcare routine or a barely drinkable Stanley cup with so many things that should be in pockets or a handbag?

Actually I think the tent idea for the beach, while definitely more cumbersome and awkward, isnt that bad of an idea. Helps give you a space to relax in and store whatever you brought with you

[So-Many-Orphans_.Husky.]

I’ve always brought a tent to the beach, they’re so much more comfortable. I like being able to hide from other people, I don’t like being stared at by creepy men and I can lay down and sleep comfortably without worrying about anything. Plus I can put all my bags in there which keeps them safer and cleaner. I’m from California and we have entire beach days, so we pack lunch, snacks, drinks, and activity things like footballs or kites. Like we stay there all day, and maybe walk down the boardwalk once or something. I’d love the foot thing because sand gets tracked in no matter what you do.

My family has one of the dishwasher dirty/clean signs but it's a $2 magnet from Dollar General..$40 is INSANE

[missvalerie]

I wouldn’t be shocked if a lot of them, will be on an episode of Hoarders, in the next ten years.

1:06 families that live near the beach have them for a few reasons.
1. since they live near the beach it’s an okay purchase since we use it a lot
2. umbrellas get blown over easily
3. with big families, it might be easier to buy one big tent instead of a bunch of umbrellas
4. sometimes people fall asleep on the beach and there’s room to sprawl out and relax

[jellogames]

The only thing for the beach cart (not that size but a smaller one) could help carry chairs, towels, beach toys, surf boogie boards for multiple families

5:23 to be fair, the brush cleaner is good for artists. Especially if you’re painting with dark colors, so your brush won’t contaminate the other colors

[LALA_LAILZZ]

The beach wagon had my mouth open more than my dentist tells me to open it...💀

[slavatron]

as an artist/painter the little water thing at 5:31 would be really useful (if it worked). if u work with a lot of colours you'd need to change ur cup of water a lot, hell even if i work with like 3 colours max i need to change my water every 5 mins. that being said those things usually arrive broken and never work anyway

[indiecrowarts]

I do want to say as an artist the water contraption is actually very useful to avoid mixing pigments, dirty paint water can sometimes tint the rest of your pallet and your canvas if you don’t thoroughly dry off your brush every time you clean it, and keeping your brush wet is often necessary for watercolor. A lot of the products in that video are legitimately good art supplies-

HOWEVER, is all of this necessary only to paint rocks? No. Because rocks aren’t porous you don’t have to worry about tinting like you would with watercolors. You can get by with paint, a paper plate, a cup with water, a paper towel, and rocks from your neighborhood.

The fake rocks are the most annoying part of this for me, but I guess it makes sense if none of the ones in your area are smooth? MAYBE then. But even so you can find rocks cheaper if you just go to a hardware store or any place that sells gardening supplies like a Lowe’s or Home Depot (America) you can get River Rock in a bag for cheap in a bunch of different sizes

I saw the lunch bags on a shelf and thought she was showing us a selection inside a store…without Hayley’s comment, I would have had zero clue that it was a shelf IN THEIR HOUSE

[UMIKOCHIIII]

Tiktok is the definition of overconsumption imo

[squiggle]

ugh, as someone who's trying to add more detail to their art, i'm PISSED that the rock painting lady only used two colours. like, if you're gonna paint the Earth, use the cyan to detail the water more! and add the FREAKING ice caps!
