It's not really that abstract. You smash the shit out of a cardboard box and candy comes out. Breaking things is not fun. I also hate youtube videos of people breaking stuff for fun.

This is just you and your peculiar hang up though. Same with the piñatas are making light of violence commenter.

Piñatas are made and designed explicitly to be smashed open to get the treats inside.

We’re not buying brand new iPhones and smashing them, or buying food and making stupid “recipes” for rage bait.

I don't know. I broke a lot of things when I was a kid, mostly because I was excited to see how they work, but have no knowledge of their value or how to safely disassemble them. I don't do it as an adult because I now have that knowledge. So don't judge a kid as an adult.
