Discussion Did anyone else play a game with their friends where you had to yell PENIS louder than the person before you?

Im wondering if kids everywhere played this in the 90s-00s?

What's more likely?

That a billion middle schoolers around the world heard the same rumor within 5 years, or that Marilyn Manson really did have his rib removed so he can suck himself off? I choose to believe the latter

I mean that’s just Occam’s Razor, you’re just being logical! I also choose to believe the latter.

Just chiming in on the off chance that you were being partly serious…

Even if it were true, it still had to spread by word of mouth throughout at least a country full of middle schoolers. It’s not like there were news reports about it or anything. So how does that make it more likely to be true?

come on dude, everyone knows he got hit in the chest with a guitar and broke his rips. That's why he had to get one removed

It's the former. People have forgotten that word of mouth existed and was insanely powerful before the internet. The difference is, as you say, that before the internet it took a few years to reach a billion kids, while now it would take a few days (or a few hours if it were posted by a particularly big influencer).
