    My only friend that really sends me memes started using TikTok a year or so ago, and sends the strangest, out of context shit. Like it will just start halfway into the action and end before it’s over, and I’m just like wtf did I just watch?

      Half the shit these people send me is just someone staring weirdly at the camera or pointing up to text. There’s no point in it being a video. It’s just the text they want me to read. That angers me so much.

        I know exactly what you’re talking about. It’s really cringe, and even more cringe to realize that the general populace loves that shit

        Or someone overlaid their face over another video as a “reaction” but they contribute nothing of value to the original video

      Strange out of context shit is what Tiktok does best - if you let it.

      If your tiktok is all politics or dancing girls it’s your own fault. Train your algorithm to be dadaist and absurd.

      It’s great.

    Where are the text and the image

    Where is the gif that was moving

    They have passed, like music on MySpace

    Like a dead sub on Reddit

    The days have gone down on the Net

    Behind the schills and into shadow

    They’ll have to screen record and send because I definitely don’t use TikTok. Same with Facebook and Instagram. Nope

      Good friends use Revanced patches to download tiktoks before sending them. Might even put it through ffmpeg to remove the music if it’s annoying.

        I had the wrong thought of ffmpeg meant. I am only now realizing I may be a bit too kinky.

          You’re missing a space there for the meaning you want.

    I mean it just opens as a link in your browser, the “can’t” is just ideological.

    Granted, it looks like garbage on the browser since all the UI crap loads on top of the captions.

      “Just ideological” in the same sense I can’t muder someone ideologically. Sure, I have the capability of doing it, but no sane person would.

          Oh sure you can, just get a stick to bite down on and pretend the face of someone you hate is on the other side.

      The content is also pretty revolting to me. I’m not a tween

    Tell your friends to download the video and then send it. Most of the TikTok Videos you can download directly from the app.
