There was a time when not everything on the internet desperately needed to entertain us. Some places were simply here to inform or give us the news with a minimum of messing around (or at least, that's what a lot of people used it for). Then TikTok came along and changed all that. Now, everywhere you look platforms have their own spin on the addictive business of short-form video. Even Pinterest is in on the act, for Christ's sake.

It can't be denied that the time that we spend online today is going to be marked by the clock app even if we would never go anywhere near it out of choice. While this can sometimes lead to some mighty stupid occurrences, they can also be amusing.
