One of the best and worst things about the internet is that it has exposed us all to so many things we would have been blissfully unaware of otherwise, and few places exemplify this better than TikTok. For better or worse, this short-form video platform has given a voice to people from all walks of life to say whatever they want (so long as they self-censor the edgier bits with silly slang, of course). It has led every internet culture enjoyer to a new level of the time-wasting entertainment experience, whether they use the clock app or not. TikTok screenshots can be found everywhere, and we like to collect some of the most amusing every week for your limited viewing pleasure. It takes up far fewer hours than mindlessly scrolling your FYP until you realize how far it is past your bedtime, although doubtless, these won't stop you from doing that as well.
