My only friend that really sends me memes started using TikTok a year or so ago, and sends the strangest, out of context shit. Like it will just start halfway into the action and end before it’s over, and I’m just like wtf did I just watch?

Half the shit these people send me is just someone staring weirdly at the camera or pointing up to text. There's no point in it being a video. It's just the text they want me to read. That angers me so much.

I know exactly what you’re talking about. It’s really cringe, and even more cringe to realize that the general populace loves that shit

Or someone overlaid their face over another video as a "reaction" but they contribute nothing of value to the original video

Strange out of context shit is what Tiktok does best - if you let it.

If your tiktok is all politics or dancing girls it's your own fault. Train your algorithm to be dadaist and absurd.

It's great.

Where are the text and the image

Where is the gif that was moving

They have passed, like music on MySpace

Like a dead sub on Reddit

The days have gone down on the Net

Behind the schills and into shadow

They’ll have to screen record and send because I definitely don’t use TikTok. Same with Facebook and Instagram. Nope

Good friends use Revanced patches to download tiktoks before sending them. Might even put it through ffmpeg to remove the music if it's annoying.

You're missing a space there for the meaning you want.

I mean it just opens as a link in your browser, the "can't" is just ideological.

Granted, it looks like garbage on the browser since all the UI crap loads on top of the captions.

"Just ideological" in the same sense I can't muder someone ideologically. Sure, I have the capability of doing it, but no sane person would.

Closer to the same way I can't drive a soldering iron all the way through my arm.

Oh sure you can, just get a stick to bite down on and pretend the face of someone you hate is on the other side.

Tell your friends to download the video and then send it. Most of the TikTok Videos you can download directly from the app.

You can actually send tiktok videos with VX in front of the URL and it will inbed properly

FYI, you have to go into settings and go to Apps and then turn on all the default URLs for TikTok. Works perfectly after that.
