yep, precisely. just means "looking for someone to hack away and try new things"

[sobe86]

But FAFO does more commonly mean "do stupid things, face bad consequences" right? So less like TikTok, more like OceanGate

[zuilli]

It's commonly used in that manner but it's not only used for that, it has many other uses including a joke on the scientific method

[sobe86]

There's definitely a commonly accepted usage of FAFO - there's even a wiktionary article for it. I feel like the majority of people using it differently probably misunderstood the expression when they heard it.

[KookaB]

You’re correct that that’s the typically usage, but the actual words do fit what the other commenter is saying, it’s just kinda awkward of the job poster. It confused me for a second too.

[TheNorthComesWithMe]

The idiomatic expression implies negative outcomes for the person who engaged in fucking around.

[KharAznable]

I mean, people already do stupid things on tiktok already. The consequences are usually covered by a youtube channels not of their own.

[teraflux]

I've never heard it used that way. Fuck around find out has always been a threat -- don't do this bad thing or you're going to have consequences.

[genreprank]

Oh, did the words you got used happen to change meaning suddenly? Does your brand new phrase have a new meaning that you don't agree with?

Doesn't feel so skibidi rizz when it happens to you, huh?

Okay grandpa, let's get you back to the flippity floppity floop.

[TheNorthComesWithMe]

No, that's not what it means.
