I’ve never used TikTok other than seeing some posts a friend might share in a group chat. But I don’t think it’s for me.

I’ve tried Loops, and maybe the “swipe down for a new video of someone saying/doing something dumb” just isn’t my cup of tea. I dunno.

“But the algorithm knows what you like!” someone will say. I don’t want algorithms anymore, to be honest.

Found a new low the other day. Met someone who genuinely believed that cats had a language and that a certain combination of meows and purrs meant specific words and that we could talk to cats that way…

Yeah…. Told me he got that off TikTok... He is 32… The brainrot is real.
