Why Does My Child Talk Like the TikTok Algorithm?

John Brock, author of The Brainrot Dictionary (Vol. 1), has no formal qualifications in child psychology — but being chronically online is apparently qualification enough.

In Why Does My Child Talk Like the TikTok Algorithm?, Brock delivers a sarcastic, hilarious, and slightly panicked guide for parents trying to decode the chaos of Brainrot internet culture.

From "Skibidi Toilet" chants to inexplicable barking fits, this book unpacks the bizarre trends taking over your child's vocabulary — and maybe, just maybe, helps you survive another day without googling "what is Ohio Core."

Fast-paced, absurd, and oddly reassuring, this is essential reading for any adult wondering when language stopped making sense.
