I don't know what in the world my officemate would do with herself if she couldn't watch TikTok all day. Besides her actual fucking work for a change, that is.

I am so goddamn sick of hearing the same "hehe hehe" and the same fake-sounding scream-laugh that those videos all use for backgrounds/overlays that I am ready to shove an ice pick in my ears. Ban this garbage, please!

Though I agree that it should be banned. It will probably live on as youtube shorts or instagram reels or whatever the fuck it's called.

Yeah the only proper solution is using fucking headphones around people. Like, some people really have no manners. If you're gonna listen to that shit on your phone speakers might as well get a proper bluetooth speaker and entertain the entire city with that brainrot.
