内容总结：

本周网络热点呈现多元趋势：年轻人正通过怀旧情绪与趣味创作寻找生活亮色，同时需警惕网络行为中的健康隐患。

2016年怀旧潮背后的代际记忆
近期社交平台涌现对2016年的集体怀旧，这与当年全球范围内的负面公共事件形成微妙反差。对Z世代而言，2016年承载着《怪奇物语》首播、宝可梦GO风靡、Snapchat滤镜盛行等青春记忆。在经历疫情冲击与社会常态变迁后，这代人将2016年视为"最后一个正常年份"，其怀旧情绪实为对当下社会压力的柔性回应。TikTok上#2016标签已积累超220万条相关视频，形成独特的代际文化景观。

趣味课堂挑战席卷社交平台
一种被称作"荒诞课堂恶作剧"的内容正在青少年中流行。这类视频记录学生在课堂上进行无伤大雅的创意行为，如突然在课桌摆放精致冷餐盘、从书包掏出各种怪异物品等，在克制笑场的紧张感中展现青春幽默。Instagram博主@avamonpere相关视频获500万播放，@eli6666k的"带随机物品上学"系列持续更新，这类内容以善意叛逆诠释青少年创意表达。

网络行为警示录
近期需关注三类潜在危险的网络行为：

1. 防火挑战警示：芝加哥地区有青少年因参与"防火挑战"遭受严重烧伤，该危险行为要求参与者将酒精类液体涂手后点燃。尽管相关标签下未见实际挑战视频，但医疗机构重申此类行为可能造成不可逆伤害。
2. 奇亚籽食用风险：作为年轻人健康饮食新宠，奇亚籽若未预先浸泡直接食用，可能因吸水膨胀导致肠道堵塞或窒息。营养专家建议每日摄入量不超过28克，且必须充分浸泡。
3. 低温烫伤综合征：长期使用最高档位电热毯或暖宝宝可能导致"火激红斑"，即皮肤因持续受热产生网状色素沉淀。TikTok用户@teezubal分享的5000万次播放案例显示，部分损伤可能持续数月甚至永久留存。安全使用指南建议始终使用低温模式，并避免长时间接触热源。

中文翻译：

本周，年轻人正透过玫瑰色的滤镜回望不久前的过去：他们拍摄无害的课堂恶作剧来记录青春，同时小心翼翼地避免吞下过多奇亚籽或使用电热毯灼伤自己——这些看似微小的举动或许正守护着他们的未来。

2016怀旧潮意味着什么？

几周前我曾讨论过千禧一代对2010年前后的乐观追忆，如今这股风潮愈演愈烈：年轻人开始专门怀念2016年。这听起来或许荒诞——那一年穆罕默德·阿里、大卫·鲍伊和王子相继离世，政治与社会动荡程度空前（当时我们竟以为那是最糟的年代）。但年轻一代为何仍对其念念不忘？

首先，当时的青少年尚未真正感知社会裂痕。2016年是《精灵宝可梦Go》、Snapchat和炫技翻水瓶风靡之年，是追看神剧《怪奇物语》、与好友畅游尚未被算法支配的互联网的纯真年代。怀旧本就是私人化的情感：对于2026年的青年而言，2016承载着童年记忆，而此后疫情蔓延与常态生活的崩塌，更让那一年成为"最后的美好时光"。在崩坏时代中成长绝非易事，我完全理解这种怀旧情绪——看看我们留给他们的世界吧。若想亲自感受，不妨浏览TikTok上#2016标签下220万条怀旧视频。

本周爆款：荒诞课堂恶作剧

这类席卷社交媒体的视频尚无统称，我暂称之为"荒诞课堂恶作剧"。镜头记录下学生们进行无伤大雅的滑稽行动时强忍笑场的模样，这些善意 stealth 反抗的片段既令人捧腹，又洋溢着青春朝气。例如@avamonpere在Instagram发布的短片：两个男生在课堂中精心布置冷餐盘，获500万次观看；又如@eli6666k发起的"带随机物品上学"系列，少年们从背包掏出各种古怪物件时憋笑的模样，让观众也忍俊不禁。该系列仍在更新，更多精彩值得期待。

网络危险行为警示

在我的"网络迷思破解"系列中，本周聚焦三种绝不可模仿的线上危险行为：

1. 火焰挑战：芝加哥一位母亲替严重烧伤的女儿发出警告：切勿参与名为"火焰挑战"的社交媒体风潮（即用酒精或洗手液浸湿双手后点火）。这虽是悲剧，但经查证，社交媒体并未出现相关挑战视频，#tiktokfirechallenge标签下34条内容均无危险演示，#firechallenge中多为警示视频。所谓"病毒式传播"恐名不副实。

2. 奇亚籽过量风险：年轻人热衷用奇亚籽制作"奇亚水"或苹果布丁，但需警惕直接生吞。营养学家指出，奇亚籽富含纤维却需预先浸泡，直接食用可能因吸水肿胀导致肠道阻塞或窒息。

3. 烤皮综合征：长期使用最高档位的电热毯可能造成皮肤低温烫伤。医学上称为"火激红斑"，由加热垫、电热毯、取暖器甚至腿上的笔记本电脑长期热辐射导致。TikTok用户@teezubal发布朋友背部斑驳伤痕的视频，一周内获超5000万次观看。尽管当事人声称"没事"，但轻度损伤也需数月恢复，长期如此可能导致永久性色素沉着。切记：使用加热设备时，请始终调至低温档。

This week, young people are looking at the recent past through rose-colored glasses, living their best lives by filming harmless classroom pranks, and, hopefully, protecting their futures by not swallowing too many chia seeds or roasting themselves with heating pads.
What does 2016 nostalgia mean?
A few weeks ago, I posted about the online trend of millennial optimism which was focused on the years around 2010, but things have gone further: Young people are nostalgic specifically for 2016. This probably sounds bizarre to you. 2016 saw the deaths of Muhammad Ali, David Bowie, and Prince, and levels of political and social upheaval many of us had never experienced, leading many to regard 2016 as the worst year ever (little did we know).
So why are younger people nostalgic for it? First, because if you were a young person, the edges of societal breakdown weren't really on your radar. 2016 was the year of Pokemon Go, Snapchat, and the bottle-flipping trend. You were watching this awesome new show called Stranger Things and hanging out with your friends, on an internet that didn’t feel like an algorithm-driven hellscape. Nostalgia is a personal thing; if you're a young adult in 2026, 2016 is your childhood, and things went so far south afterwards with the pandemic and the continued erosion of "normal" civic life that 2016 would understandably feel like the last normal year. Coming of age during a collapse is not a picnic, and I don't begrudge anyone a little nostalgia; look at the world we left them. But don't take my word for it. Check out some of the 2.2 million nostalgia videos on TikTok's #2016 to draw your own conclusions.
Viral videos of the week: absurdist classroom pranks
I don't think there's a name for the kind of viral videos I'm featuring this week, so I'm calling them "absurdist classroom pranks." They're videos where kids/teens in a school do something absurd but harmless, while trying to keep themselves from cracking up. These documents of good-hearted acts of stealth rebellion are both hilarious and youth-affirming. Like this Instagram reel from @avamonpere with five million views of a couple dudes meticulously arranging a charcuterie board in the middle of a lecture:
Or the ongoing series "bringing random items to school," in which Instagram's @eli6666k and his boys do just what the title says: pull the weirdest things they can from their backpacks, while trying to keep from laughing. I wasn't even able to do it while watching. Here's a couple:
But check out the source. The series is ongoing so there's more to come.
Dangers from the internet
In part 4,034 of my 36,321 part series, we have a trio of things that people online are doing that no one should actually do in real life, ever.
The fire challenge: A Chicago-area mom offers a warning on behalf of her badly burned daughter: Do not participate in a "a viral social media trend" called "The Fire Challenge"; that is, covering your hands with rubbing alcohol or hand sanitizer and setting them on fire. This is a tragic story, but like most media reports of injuries from online challenges, I can't actually find any evidence of any videos like this on social media, so People calling it a "viral social media trend" seems inaccurate. Maybe those videos are out there, but they're hardly viral or a trend. There's a "tiktokfirechallenge" hashtag, with 34 videos, none of which depict anything dangerous. While #firechallenge contains some videos warning against the fire challenge, but none that show it actually happening.
Do not eat too many chia seeds: Chia seeds are a whole thing with young people. They make "chia water," mix 'em up with apples and make "pudding," and make super gross AI videos about the supposed health benefits of just raw-dogging a handful of seeds. That last one is a problem. Chia seeds are a good source of fiber, but according to nutritionists, you shouldn't eat them without soaking them in liquid first. They absorb fluids, and eating raw seeds could result in intestinal blockage and choking.
Toasted skin syndrome: This one unlocked a phobia I never knew I had: If you routinely use a heating pad on its highest setting, you can literally slow roast your own flesh. It's called toasted skin syndrome or "erythema ab igne" in medical parlance, and it's caused by long-term exposure to personal heat sources like heating pads, electric blankets, space heaters, or even a laptop on your thighs. TikTok user @teezubal raised awareness by posting a video of her friend's alarmingly mottled back flesh that has been viewed over 50 million times in a week. Her friend insists, "it's fine, I promise" but it's not fine. Milder cases can take months to resolve, and if you keep it up, the discolored flesh can supposedly stay like that forever. The solution: If you use a heating pad, keep it set to "low."
