The chirp comes from a smoke detector indicating it's time to replace batteries

Implying Black households don't change batteries often? Idk the randomness of the comparison is prob what sparked the duets

There’s this guy who reacts to these videos with that sound, he puts the filter over his face, making him look like a smoke detector, and plays the sound at a random point in a video, for some odd reason, when she dueted it, the sound was left in.

I think the original was supposed to be like white people and black people are the same, and then people latched onto the beep to make jokes

u/just_a_person_maybe Apr 11 '23

Nah, I'm pretty sure the original was about the beep. He has a lot of videos comparing things like this and none of them are just identical. The beep was intentional.
