People are influenced by the world and people around them. And for young people today, TikTok is a very powerful influence. It tells people what is important in life, and how to get it.
You and I believe that hitting yourself in the hammer is unlikely to bring anything good; and highly likely to bring pain and problems; but we only know that because of things we've already learned. Different people learn different things at different points in their lives. And so there are a lot of young people who, when they are told that hitting yourself in the face with a hammer is going to make your more attractive - they might believe it and decide it is worth it.
Back when I was a young teenager, people were being told they could quickly charge their iPhones in the microwave. You can only feel so bad for people.
And again, if they're stupid enough to believe that. then again they deserve to get hit in the face with a hammer.
