It’s just a Skinner’s Box for rats but for teens

Skinner Box For Teens is a good band name.

That also describes Tiktok now, I think?

Graphic design is my passion

INTO IT

Too drunk right now or I’d shop in a small hand holding a cellphone with a tiktok logo on the sceen bumping into a big red button that says “DOPAMINE” above it. Maybe tomorrow.

I think Teen Skinner Box works a bit better.

Respect, but I like the verboseness of Skinner box for Teens. It starts with a concept that folks should know, and ends with leaving you thinking: “what’s a Skinner box for teens?” I automatically go with tiktok now, musical.ly before, vine beforefore, and when I was younger I would have said MySpace or AOL teen chat.
