If you have spent any time in the comment section of a TikTok video that poses a question, then you know exactly what is about to happen… Not ONE person in the comment section is serious. Okay, maybe one person, but they are definitely not the usual nor the most beloved commenter. The most popular comments and most common are the unserious, the wittiest, the more sarcastic ones that absolutely do not actually answer the question in an real way, but provide a perfect LOL. So, in our opinion, it's better than the answer! 

 

In the case of this airline passenger, the question came with a mysterious view from above. As she is however miles high in the sky, she spots a shadow casting on the earth below that she could not comprehend. It was enormous and went on for miles. So she took a video of it and asked if anybody could explain what she was witnessing—and, oh boy, TikTok did NOT let us down!
