New Feature: 10 Minute Time Limit

We talk about a new update to the TikTok time limit of up to 10 minutes.

A new prank involves creators recreating random instagram stories and sending them to the people they parodied. We like one by @geswho16. 

Audio Trends on TikTok

An audio trend on TikTok uses a clip from Netflix’s Inventing Anna saying, “I do not have time for this. I do not have time for you.” Thanks to @misscarolineflett for tipping us off to it. Another trend uses a remix of the song Fireflies. Funny examples from @fig.tree.farm, @joshandshenaebeech, and @kindariley. We talk more about the YouTube effect and America’s Funniest Home Videos. 

Lizzo on TikTok 

Lizzo (@lizzo) captured our attention with a mystery involving a shoe marked “Ken.” Dena wonders if it has to do with Barbie. We feature a great clip of @itscamilep talking about how Barbie changed her life. 

Skeleton Brunch

We saw articles saying something called “Skeleton Brunch” is going viral on TikTok and potentially causing harm to teens. But we can’t find anything about it. It might just be bringing a toy skeleton to a diner with you.
