What is the ‘girl math’ TikTok trend? ‘Girl math’ is about justifying spending habits and believing that certain purchases are free if the money is spent well in advance. As many people were initially confused about this trend, content creator samjamessssss posted a TikTok video explaining it. “It’s essentially fun logic,” she said. “If you buy something with cash, especially if it was found in a pocket and you didn’t know you had it, it’s free. Girl math. If you return something and the money gets put on a gift card and then you spend the gift card later, also free. Girl math.” After her clip went viral with 3.2 million views, thousands of users have begun sharing their own videos and explaining how they use this “logic.” “Anything under $5 is free. Anything I buy with a gift card is free. If I buy something and then I return it, I’ve made money,” TikToker Kenna wrote in her video. “If I paid for it with cash, it was free, it doesn’t count. Nothing came out of my account,” said user Sarah LeMoine in her post. While the concept’s gone viral on TikTok, according to Elite Daily, the trend began on a radio show in New Zealand called ‘Fletch, Vaughan & Hayley,‘ which discussed using “girl math” to explain why a caller would actually be making money by spending $400 on hair extensions for her wedding.

What is TikTok’s viral emoji challenge? Unsplash: Denis CherkashinTikTok users are going viral with their takes on the emoji acting challenge, which sees them use various emojis as inspiration for their acting choices — and now there’s even an ’emoji word challenge’ filter to make it easier to join in. All kinds of new trends are going viral on TikTok every week, and in particular, many users love the array of challenges that pop up on the platform on a regular basis. One challenge that has been popular on TikTok throughout August (although it has been around on the app for a while now) is being dubbed the ’emoji acting challenge’ by many, and people are continuing to go viral with their interpretations of the trend. What is the emoji acting challenge? As the name suggests, this challenge involves people selecting a series of emojis that they display in a line on their screen, including everything from the cry-laugh emoji, to the devil. Then they repeat the same sentence or word, each time using the emoji as inspiration for their delivery of the lines. Some decided to give their best attempt at the challenge, using their facial expression and voice to transform themselves into characters inspired by their chosen emojis. However, many have turned the acting challenge into a meme, picking the most random sentences and emojis possible, and turning them into skits that are garnering hundreds of thousands of likes and millions of views on the platform. How to get the emoji word challenge filter In another addition to this popular challenge, user lauragouillon created a filter for the similarly named ’emoji word challenge,’ which randomly generates a series of emojis, and a specific sentence you have to read out. The sentences consist of things like ‘I love you,’ ‘Hey bestie,’ and ‘You’re stunning,’ and the filter adds an extra layer of difficulty to the challenge, as you can’t select your own emojis and sentences like you can with the regular acting challenge. To try the filter for yourself, simply do as follows: Open TikTok. – Click on the plus icon to open your camera. – Tap the ‘Effects’ button in the bottom left corner. – Type ‘Emoji word challenge’ in the search bar. – Scroll down, and click the filter created by ‘lauragouillon.’ – Press the record button to start, and wait for the words and emojis to randomly generate. Tap the screen again to generate new ones. – This isn’t the only challenge to have had a surge in popularity on TikTok in recent months. The Tortilla Challenge was one that garnered millions of views throughout June and July, with even Kevin Hart and Dwayne Johnson joining in on the viral trend.

What is TikTok’s viral ‘cash stuffing’ trend? PIXABAY: Gerd AltmannA new trend called ‘cash stuffing’ has gone viral on TikTok, as people are saving thousands with the useful budgeting hack. Thanks to a new viral trend, which has been viewed millions of times on the social media app, budgeting has become a lot easier for people who struggle with overspending. The ‘cash stuffing’ hack, also known as the ‘envelope system,’ has managed to save a woman about $11,829 for a house deposit, The Sun reported earlier this year. Now, teenagers and millennials are jumping on the bandwagon on TikTok, as they test out the viral trend. Here is an explainer for how the saving trick works. Viral ‘cash stuffing’ trend explained Cash stuffing is a way of budgeting where you divide up your notes and pennies, and tuck them into different envelopes based on the categories you want to budget for. Popular categories on include fuel, food, electricity, and water. Some TikTokers place their money in envelopes or binders that are brightly coloured. Others go as far as to embellish their envelopes with stickers and rhinestones in order to add aesthetic appeal to them. The idea is that having a visualisation of what you are spending should make it easier to control your money and make you less likely to overspend. In 2020, researchers from Warwick business school analyzed transactions from 260,000 consumers and found that people with contactless cards spent “significantly more” than those without. The researchers concluded that contactless: “promotes increased spending and can promote decreased cash usage and increased use of debt.” With prices going up on food, energy, and fuel, many young people are turning their back on contactless payments, and stuffing their cash into envelopes to easily manage their money. The search term ‘cash envelope stuffing’ on TikTok has 426 million views, while the hashtag for cashenvelopestuffing has over 96 million views, as the budgeting hack trend continues to grow.

What is TikTok’s viral ‘big straw’ challenge? Unsplash: FLY:DThe viral ‘big straw challenge’ is making a comeback on TikTok, with people using cardboard tubes as straws — but the trend could have potentially dangerous consequences. TikTok is the best place to go to stay up to date with the latest trends and challenges sweeping the internet, and many of them have the potential to return and go viral all over again, even years after they first emerged. That is the case for the ‘big straw challenge,’ which became popular on the app in 2020, and is now seeing a resurgence in 2022. The challenge involves participants using a cardboard tube or something similar as a substitute for a straw, attempting to drink large quantities of liquid through it. Many users have uploaded their attempts at the challenge, and although some initially seem to be able to suck up a lot of liquid, it often results in the participants coughing and spluttering as a result of their attempt. Some of the videos featuring the challenge even now have a warning attached from TikTok, saying: “Participating in this activity could result in you or others getting hurt.” Although some commenters were entertained by people trying this risky challenge, others warned people against trying it. Videos from users who have attempted the challenge have garnered millions of views and hundreds of thousands of likes, but we don’t recommend trying this one out for yourself, due to the potential risks involved. The big straw challenge isn’t the only dangerous trend to become popular on TikTok. Things like the Orbeez shooting trend and the fire mirror challenge have prompted warnings from experts, due to the potential consequences of attempting them.

What is TikTok’s viral ‘butter, fly, butterfly’ emoji challenge? TikTokTikTokers have been loving a viral challenge that has them using a viral filter to try and get three available emojis in the right order — “butter, fly” and “butterfly.” TikTok is the best place to go to stay up to date with the latest viral trends online, with new content being uploaded to the platform and going super viral on a constant basis. One thing that many users love is challenges, and the latest one to go viral on the app uses a filter called ‘TapTap BFB’ by janmahavan. This effect allows users to tap the screen and generate an emoji where they tapped, which will be either the butter emoji, the fly emoji, or the butterfly emoji. The emojis appear in a random order, and you never know which one will pop up next, so users have challenged themselves to try and get the order of butter, fly, and then, butterfly. Many have decided to do this challenge in pairs, passing the phone between them to attempt the correct order. If they get the wrong emoji, they pass the phone to the next person, and then continue with this until someone ‘wins.’ Videos of people attempting this challenge have proven to be a big hit on the app, generating millions of likes and views. To add an extra hilarious layer to their videos, users have also been using some of the new TikTok voice filters that make you sound like you have a different voice, which has spawned multiple different trends of their own. “Never laughed so hard omg,” wrote one commenter in response to a video participating in the trend. “LMAO the voice change makes this so much better,” said another. This trend has already garnered millions of views, and more are participating every day as the challenge makes its way across people’s For You Pages.

What is TikTok’s ‘Teenage Dirtbag’ trend? TIKTOK: THEMICHAELBARRYMOREThe early 2000’s teen anthem ‘Teenage Dirtbag’ has made its comeback and grown into a new TikTok trend. Another day, another trend sweeping the social media platform. This time, it’s a trend that features a timeless tune that many millennials are familiar with. The song ‘Teenage Dirtbag’ was released by rock band Wheatus in 2000, and instantly became a global sensation. It was especially successful in Australia, spending four weeks at number one, being certified 3× Platinum, and becoming the second-best-selling single of 2000. Now, the song has made its comeback in 2022, thanks to a viral TikTok trend. What is the ‘Teenage Dirtbag’ TikTok trend? People are using the song to share embarrassing photos from their teenage years. The song is essentially about being rebellious teenage misfits, which makes it perfect for the trend. In this viral video, which has almost a million views, comedian Michael Barrymore shares awkward photos taken from when he was 18, while ‘Teenage Dirtbag’ plays over the clip. Searches for the new trend have exploded on the social media platform, with almost 800,000 videos being tagged with teenagedirtbagtrend. The hashtag has over 2 million views as of now. Most videos start with the user showing how they look like now, with a caption such as “My teenage dirtbag photos…” The video would then cut to a series of photos from the user’s “rebellious” teenage years. Usually, the photos would show them drinking, partying, or getting tattoos, but there are also some that share awkward phases they went through. While the millennial classic is used in light-hearted videos for users to laugh at themselves, the real inspiration behind the song is actually quite dark. Speaking to Tone Deaf in 2012 about the song, Wheatus frontman Brendon B. Brown explained: “It came from the summer of 1984 on Long Island, when I was 10 years old.” “That summer in the woods behind my house, there was a Satanic, drug-induced ritual teen homicide that went down; and the kid who did it was called Ricky Kasso, and he was arrested wearing an AC/DC T-shirt.” he said. “That made all the papers, and the television, obviously; and here I was, 10 years old, walking around with a case full of AC/DC and Iron Maiden and Metallica – and all the parents and the teachers and the cops thought I was some kind of Satan worshipper. So that’s the backdrop for that song.”

What is TikTok’s ‘strawberry girl’ makeup trend? TikTok: haileybieberTikTok’s ‘strawberry girl’ makeup trend is in full effect, as the sun-kissed style has celebrities like Hailey Bieber showcasing their chicest reds. Summer TikTok trends have been booming with views. And why not, when you can show off your ‘European’ or ‘tomato girl’ summer?

But what about TikTok’s ‘strawberry girl’ makeup trend? Well, it’s similar to ‘tomato girl summer’, where girls blend their cutest red eyeliners and lipsticks as well as blushes and highlighters. It’s also reminiscent of ‘tomato girl summer,’ as both trends celebrate the color red, as well. However, the ‘strawberry girl’ makeup trend has some serious leverage over other TikTok trends, as celebrities like Hailey Bieber are fully embracing the viral makeup routine. What is Hailey Bieber’s ‘strawberry girl’ makeup routine? The ‘strawberry girl’ makeup trend on TikTok may have been started by model and beauty mogul Hailey Bieber, but there’s been plenty of influencers following suit, as the trend is a quintessential summer look. Bieber first generated steam for the ‘strawberry girl’ makeup trend on August 5 when she showed her TikTok followers her makeup routine. First, she made sure to have a dewy face for a solid foundation to apply her makeup. Then came the “glazing milk” which is similar to a lotion-like substance. She then brushed out her brows and began applying her red and pink shades (after a quality bronzer moment, of course). What makes the trend ‘strawberry’ are the assortment of red and pink hues that one adds to their face. It could be a pink highlighter above the cheekbones, a deep pink blush, or a classic red lipstick. One beauty secret that Bieber did reveal to fans was how she used her cream blushes for her lips, making for quite the ‘strawberry’ effect. Those that have seen Bieber’s ‘strawberry girl’ makeup trend have commented on her viral video in excitement for the release of Bieber’s new makeup line, which will include the ‘strawberry’ inspired cream colors she used in her tutorial video. Other TikTokers have made their own rendition of the viral makeup trend.

What is TikTok’s ‘sitting rising’ test? TikTok: bynataliebrightTikTok has taken the ‘sitting rising’ test to the next level, claiming that the at-home physical test will determine how long one has to live. TikTok is infamous for debuting trends that people of all ages can take part in. Whether it’s a new dance move, a tasty recipe, or a fast food hack, TikTok is always full of fun participation videos. Luckily for those who take to TikTok trends and also enjoy bettering their health, one of the platform’s latest fads is just perfect. Since July, the ‘sitting rising’ test has gone viral on TikTok, causing health physicians to weigh in on the benefits of its findings — but what exactly is it? Dr. Natalie Azar explains the benefits of trying TikTok’s ‘sitting rising’ test The ‘sitting rising’ test popularized on TikTok around July of this year. The at-home physical test takes a bit of strength and allegedly determines your lifespan. To do the ‘sitting rising’ test, one must stand, go into a sitting cross-legged position on the floor, and then attempt to get up without using any additional limbs like your arms or hands. If the person doing the ‘sitting rising’ test pushes on their knees to assist in getting up or places their hands on the floor to lift their body, they get points deducted on a scale of 1-10. Here’s the kicker, if someone scores between 0 and 3 points, they are five times more likely to die within the next six years. However, for those who score between 8 and 10, they are projected to have a longer lifespan. The ‘sitting rising’ test was also backed by Dr. Natalie Azar, who reported to the Today Show that it is “an indirect marker of your health.” Dr. Azar continued to explain how the ability to stand, sit, and rise again without using external help from anything but your core and legs is a determining factor of one’s balance, flexibility, cardiovascular strength, and condition of muscle in the core and legs. Those who have tried the ‘sitting rising’ test on TikTok have shared their experiences on the platform, with most people being able to complete the physical demands of standing, sitting, and getting back up again. It takes a matter of seconds and gives one an indication of their physical health, so hey, why not?

What is TikTok’s ‘reverse AI filter’ trend? TikTok: darlings.spam / famousbeksTikTok users are applying an AI filter to edit their photos in an artsy way — but some users are worried the tool can be reversed. Here’s everything to know about this trend. TikTok is the undisputed trendsetter for social media fads these days. The app has spawned a slew of viral crazes over the years, including everything from edible ‘butter boards’ to popular dances and more. Various filters have also taken the platform by storm, including the AI green screen filter that took over the TikTok community last year. Essentially, users could type out a series of text prompts and an AI would create an original image based on those words. Now, users are utilizing AI technology to edit their photos… but some are worried that this trend could backfire in a big way. What is TikTok’s AI art filter? People can use the ‘AI Art’ filter on TikTok to create a heavily-edited version of any image they choose. While sometimes it’s possible to tell what the original image was, usually all recognizable details are erased, producing a fantastical painting that looks nothing like the initial pic. Naturally, some TikTokers are using this tool to upload ‘spicy’ photos of themselves that are completely obscured by the AI filter, thus spawning a new sort of trend on the app. Can you reverse TikTok’s AI art filter? However, some are worried that other users can reverse the AI filter to see things they shouldn’t — but sources say not to worry about this. No, other users can’t take your video and reverse the filter, but according to Distractify, it might still be unsafe for people to run their photos through the AI art tool. According to the site, when users upload their pictures through the filter, they’re “uploading it to a server somewhere where it may be hacked.” This is just the latest filter to spark concern on TikTok after a ‘hooked nose’ filter caught backlash from users when creators used it as a “confidence booster.”

What is TikTok’s pumpkin head trend? Viral Halloween photo trend explained Unsplash: Eleanor BrookeThe viral pumpkin head photoshoot trend is once again gaining popularity on TikTok as Halloween creeps closer and the weather gets colder. Now that the fall leaves are falling and the pumpkin spice lattes are everywhere, social media users across the internet are gearing up for Halloween with a whole range of different trends, challenges, and memes. TikTok, in particular, is a hotspot of spooky content, and there are several Halloween-themed trends both new and old going viral on the platform. TikTokers are loving pumpkin head photoshoots One trend that’s making a comeback again this year is the pumpkin head photoshoot trend. As the name suggests, this involves people carving faces in pumpkins with a hole big enough for their heads to fit through, and then wearing them on their heads. They will then proceed to do a photoshoot with the pumpkin on their head to get some Halloween-themed snaps. The videos show the results, often alongside the song Monster Mash by Bobby Pickett. Users have teamed up with their friends and family to take the most creative pictures possible, taking their pumpkin heads to different locations and experimenting with different poses and outfits. This trend has been popular online for a while now, making an appearance each October in time for Halloween, and this year is no different. Users have garnered thousands of likes and views for their interpretations of this trend on the app, inspiring others to do the same. How to do the pumpkin head trend If this looks like something you’d like to try, joining in is easy. Simply carve a large pumpkin as you ordinarily would, except instead of cutting out a hole at the top for a candle, cut out the hole at the bottom of the pumpkin big enough to put over your head. Then, gather your friends to do a photoshoot with the pumpkin on your head in a fall-inspired place, such as in a forest or on a farm. Then go ahead and upload your final results to TikTok for the chance of going viral with thousands of views. Note: Take caution when trying this trend, and ensure that you have a friend or family member with you when trying it to help you. To get even more in the fall mood, why not try out Starbucks’ iconic pumpkin spice latte in the new Pumpkin Spice Stanley cup?

The version of the song that has gone viral on TikTok and inspired people to dance is a remix by Washington-based DJ Jeff Prior. As with most dance crazes, TikTokers on the app have created their own dance routine to accompany the song. While several dances have popped up in recent months, the most popular one routine involves lip-syncing to the chorus (while repeating the phrase ‘lock it’ several times) while doing finger-gun motions in time to the fast-paced beat.

What is TikTok’s ‘no contact journal’ trend? TikTok; jacquiesjunkdrawerTikTok’s ‘no contact journal’ trend is the perfect way for people to express their feelings about others — here’s what the new fad is all about. Everyone has at least one person to whom they wish they could tell their true feelings, but circumstances like trust and honesty get in the way. Sure, we all want to believe that our crush is crushing too, or our partner won’t cheat again, but the fact of the matter is, that the mind and heart are sometimes on different pages. So for those who find themselves wishing to express their longing or heartache to a special or not-so-special someone, TikTok’s ‘no contact journal’ trend is just perfect. TikToker found the “man of her dreams” after going “no contact” with her ex TikTok’s ‘no contact journal’ trend gives people the opportunity to express their true feelings to people whom they are unable to speak face to face with. The trend began in March and was popularized in August. To date, the TikTok hashtag ‘no contact’ has reached at least 1.6 billion viewers, making it one of the most popular fads of the summer. The ‘no contact journal’ trend is not only a way to free the afflicted mind, but it also creates space in the heart to heal after being hurt by someone. It also serves as a way to express feelings to someone who may have passed. However, there is one rule about the ‘no contact journal,’ and it’s that what is written doesn’t get revealed, as the purpose of the trend is to write to someone whom one doesn’t have contact with, whether by choice or not. Those who have taken part in the trend have expressed on TikTok how therapeutic the ‘no contact journal’ trend has been for them, saying, “Journaling really helps… looking back, everything indeed happened for a reason.” Another TikToker captioned her ‘no contact journal’ video saying, “Honestly, less painful to do than reaching out.” To which someone responded, “I hate how we’re literally making no contact notes to get over them while they’re just moving on and living life as if we meant nothing.” One TikToker even said that they met the man of their dreams after going ‘no contact’ with their ex, while another shared how they participated in the trend, saying, “Two months of writing, voice notes, and driving around aimlessly as I vent… It’s wild.” The ‘no contact journal’ stories could go on forever, as the trend has been highly appreciated by TikTokers who needed to express themselves about someone or something that they just can’t seem to get off their mind. What’s more, people who take part in writing out their feelings can do so with pen and paper, a tech device, or even voice notes — so really, there’s no excuse for bottling up one’s feelings, as it’s free and also approved by TikTok.

What is TikTok’s ‘I’ll Be Missing You’ dance trend? TikTok: thequickstyleeSummer TikTok trends have been fun, friendly, and heartfelt — but none more meaningful than the ‘I’ll Be Missing You’ dance trend, as the song itself is a tribute to the late Notorious B.I.G. TikTok has been flooded with fun summer trends like the ‘strawberry girl’ makeup tutorial, ‘tomato girl summer,’ and let’s not forget the ‘let’s crack an egg on our child’s head and see their reaction’ trend that recently took off. There’s also been a selection of music that has recently trended on TikTok like ‘Makeba’ by Jain and ‘Astronaut In The Ocean’ by Masked Wolf. However, most recently, the ‘I’ll Be Missing You’ dance trend has emerged from its roots with TikTokers all across the globe dancing to the ode to Biggie Smalls song. The song ‘I’ll Be Missing You’ is a tribute to the late Notorious B.I.G. To pay homage to the late Notorious B.I.G., who passed away in 1997 from a gunshot wound, rapper Sean Diddy Combs reinvented a profound song with meaning beyond belief. The song ‘I’ll Be Missing You’ originated in 1983 by the band The Police. The song itself was initially titled ‘Every Breath You Take.’ However, it ended up causing such a rift in the bandmates’ relationships, causing them to eventually break up after debuting the single to their ‘Synchronicity’ album. Fast forward to the ‘90s when Sean Combs was working with Biggie Smalls before he died, and you have yet another hit single that was derived from The Police’s ‘Every Breath You Take.’ Though Combs wouldn’t be able to work on his rendition of the song with The Notorious B.I.G., he was able to use it to pay tribute to his good friend. With its powerful meaning, Combs decided to remaster the song after Biggie’s passing and retitled it ‘I’ll Be Missing You.’ Combs also featured Biggie’s wife Faith Evans in the song. The song itself is still popular despite its 1997 release date, as TikTokers are currently using the heartfelt track in TikTok’s ‘I’ll Be Missing You’ dance trend. As the song plays in the background, TikTokers smoothly jive to the song with their respected friends, giving the heartfelt track even more life than it already had. One dance group named ‘The Quick Style’ created a rockin’ rendition of the TikTok dance, garnering over 14 million views and one million likes. Fans of the prominent group took to their comments section to nostalgically utter the song lyrics, “Every single day, every time I pray, I’ll be missing you.” While another commented on the intention of the song, saying, “Meanwhile the saddest lyrics ever.” Though TikTok trends cycle through the platform quickly, the ‘I’ll Be Missing You’ trend has been popular for about a year. However, TikTokers have continued the trend all the way through this summer, making the song itself as relevant as it ever was.

What is TikTok’s ‘Incantation’ challenge? NETFLIXA recent TikTok challenge called ‘Incantation’ has gone viral on the social media platform, scaring a lot of people. A new Taiwanese horror movie called ‘Incantation’ has gone viral on the social media app. The bleak movie, which is inspired by a real incident, is causing a scare to many users online. The hashtag for ‘Incantation‘ has over 127 million views on TikTok, with multiple users sharing videos of themselves taking part in the latest scary challenge. So what is the viral ‘Incantation’ challenge? TikTok’s ‘Incantation’ challenge explained It started when TikToker Notjustbored1214 shared a 20-second video about the movie to his 119,000 followers. In the video, he says “I don’t give a f**k how hard or desensitized you think, you are. There’s no f**king way you guys are watching this entire f**king movie from start to finish without skipping a scene.” The video, captioned “1hr 16min 22sec was the hardest part for me to watch,” has amassed over 13.5 million views, and subsequently, many people took up the challenge of watching the entire movie without skipping a single scene. Users participating on the challenge have shared their reactions to watching the horror flick, using the hashtag ‘Incantation.’ It’s safe to say that it’s left people pretty traumatized. The movie, directed by Kevin Ko, is about a woman who has to protect her daughter after she becomes cursed for breaking a religious taboo. According to the director, it’s based on a true story which occurred in 2005. TikTok users react to the viral ‘Incantation’ challenge Several users have commented under Notjustbored1214’s video, sharing their thoughts about the challenge. “Freaks me out more because it’s based on a true story” one viewer commented. “Any horror that says ‘based on REAL LIFE events’ issa nono for me” another person added, refusing the challenge. “Bro it said it was based on a true story I’m not watching that” someone else quipped. While the movie has scared people who watched it, and also disturbed people who haven’t, not everyone is giving in to the hype. “On everything I watched the whole thing without getting scared once, or getting any gut reaction. I rated it 2/10 in term of horror” one unimpressed viewer commented. Another viewer agreed, adding “Man you got my hopes up thinking I could finally have a good movie to watch and get scared to only for it to me mediocre at best.” According to Unilad, the Incantation has reportedly racked up over 10 million hours of views on Netflix, and may likely increase as a result of the viral TikTok challenge.

What is TikTok’s ‘hot or not’ composite images trend? TikTok: mali.nalliOne popular trend on TikTok sees people use an ‘attractive face scale’ along with the viral shapeshifting filter to figure out whether they’re ‘hot or not’ — here’s everything you need to know. Many of TikTok’s most popular trends are based on the physical appearance of the participants, and often involve the use of one of the app’s many filters to alter the way you look. The ‘shapeshifting’ filter is one such effect that people have been using over the past year to find out who they look most similar to. Most of these trends involve using a sheet full of the faces of people from a certain TV show, or particular types of dolls, and then letting the filter decide who you look most like. One version of this trend has been the ‘hot or not’ challenge, which was particularly popular throughout 2021. Click here if TikTok doesn’t load Using data from the Hot or Not website where people rank others based on an attractiveness scale, Flickr user Pierre Tourigny created multi-morph composites of images from the site to find out the average face of each score. He compiled these into one image, and that’s the picture that people have been using to decide whether they’re ‘hot or not,’ with the face that the filter blends them with supposedly being the one they look most like. How to do the ‘hot or not’ TikTok trend In order to do this trend, or any variation of it, you will first need to have an image of several faces saved to the camera roll of your device. Read More: What is TikTok’s viral Sprite challenge? – Once you have that, do as follows: Open TikTok. – Go to the ‘Discovery’ tab. – In the search bar, type ‘shapeshifting.’ – In the search results, press the pink record button next to the filter, then ‘Try this effect.’ – Select the image you saved to your camera roll. – Press the record button, and the filter should blend your face into one of the faces on the image. – While many claim that the app morphs you with who you most look like, it’s not particularly accurate, so bear that in mind when participating in any of these trends.

What is TikTok’s ‘honey spell’ and why are people saying it’s dangerous? PixabayTikTok’s latest trend has people using honey to attract potential partners — but some netizens are warning non-Hispanic folks to pass on this particular activity. TikTok is a hive for viral trends and fads, spawning multiple memes and crazes over the years that have leaked into real life several times. From making handbags and dresses sell out in stores to getting everyone to air-fry their pasta noodles, TikTok is the premier destination for the next big thing — but the latest trend to sweep the app is making some users hit the pause button. If you’ve been perusing the app lately, you’ve likely seen folks doing the ‘honey challenge’ or ‘honey method.’ This challenge is actually a spell, and requires that participants draw a cross on their tongues with honey. The aim of the honey challenge is to “make someone obsessed with you,” according to TikToker Valeria, who gave users a tutorial on how to complete the spell. While drawing the cross, she asks that people remain positive and remove all doubt about their intentions from their mind for the spell to work effectively. Click here if TikTok fails to load. Although it seems simple, and plenty of users have tried it out for themselves, she warns viewers that they shouldn’t try the honey method if they aren’t Hispanic/Latino. “This method can only be done by Hispanic or Latino [people],” she explained. “But if you wanna do it and you’re not Hispanic or Latino, make sure to stay protected and don’t be surprised if you get karma or it backfires.” Other TikTokers are also warning non-Hispanic people to avoid using the spell, explaining that it’s not neo-paganism but ‘brujeria’ — a type of witchcraft native to Latin American and Afro-Caribbean cultures. TikToker Jenny Luna explained the issue in a TikTok, saying, “Babe, it’s brujeria, not witchcraft. It’s a closed practice. If you’re not Hispanic you literally cannot do it, you’re gonna get yourself in trouble.” Click here if TikTok fails to load. The honey method is just the latest trend to take over TikTok, following the viral ‘whisper method’ that is also making waves on the app.

What is TikTok’s “Christmas gas” prank? TIKTOKDaughters are going viral for pulling the “Christmas gas” prank on their dads. Here are all the details about the comical trick. Though a trend of the past, the “Christmas gas” prank has gone viral yet again. Consisting of a white lie and a phone call to dad, the prank has gained popularity for being so funny. Here are all the details you’ll need to pull it off this holiday season. TikTokers laugh at viral “Christmas gas” prank The “Christmas gas” prank involves daughters making calls to their dads to ask for their help after using the wrong gas for their car. Being that the diesel pump is colored green at the gas station, many people are telling their dads that they’ve been told to use the green pump around Christmas time solely because of its color. However, diesel could pose a problem for many cars, as it’s primarily used for pickup trucks because it could clog the gasoline engine if otherwise used. One TikToker, Avery, played the prank on her dad this year and fooled him really well. She called him up and said she used the “Christmas gas” and continued to explain why it was called that. Her dad reacted in a panic, asking, “Christmas one?! What the hell are you talking about!?” Though Avery eventually told him it was a joke, her dad said that the prank wasn’t funny. Those who have viewed the viral “Christmas gas” joke on TikTok have shared in laughter, saying, “Lmao, I love that,” and, “Lmfao, I need to do this prank!” Luckily, there are a few days left to pull the prank off before Christmas — but just remember, don’t actually use the diesel gas!

All you need to do is chuck a whole block of feta, whole cherry tomatoes, garlic with the skin still on, and olive oil in a pan before roasting it in the oven. Meanwhile, all you have to do is boil your pasta, and combine it with the baked Feta mixture when both are cooked, adding some fresh basil to finish. Of course, you can add other seasonings along the way such as oregano, and fresh chili pepper, or some crushed red pepper flakes. And for a creamier texture, foodies suggest using proper Greek Feta instead of feta-style cheese. By nature, this recipe is open to variation, and inspiration can be found just by searching through the related tags on TikTok. One especially divisive recipe, which was uploaded by The Hunger Diaries, involved adding strawberries to the mix – try it if you dare!

What is TikTok’s ‘Beer Beer Truck Truck’ song? Musician crafts country song from hilarious parody YouTube: GeorgeBirgeVEVORed dirt roads, ice cold beer, and beautiful Southern belles are all key parts of many modern country songs… but one musician set out to change this stereotype after coming across a viral parody of the genre online. Country often finds itself as the brunt of many jokes in discussions about music. “I like anything but Country” is a fairly common sentiment among many mainstream listeners, and is generally whittled down to the genre’s newer installments over the past decade and change. The contrast between “old” and “new” country is like night and day (it’s no stretch to say that Luke Bryan and Willie Nelson have nearly nothing in common)… but modern country isn’t all about ‘beer beer truck truck, girls in tight jeans,’ despite the popular sentiment. Erynn Chambers coined the aforementioned phrase in a clip that has gone viral on TikTok, which caught the eye of musician George Birge, a former member of the Country duo ‘Waterloo Revival.’ Using the TikToker’s humorous and repetitive lyrics, Birge crafted a genuinely catchy tune arguing against the stereotype that has now garnered over 2 million views. “Listen, we all know she has a point,” Birge said of Chambers’ parody video. “But something about it made me want to prove to myself and to her that we could take those lyrics and make something cool out of it.” Since then, Birge has created an entire song around Chambers’ lyrics, which is available to listen on just about every major music platform on the net. “It was also cool because it was obviously a joke,” Birge told Taste of Country regarding his viral hit. “She was doing it light-hearted, and she’s actually been a great sport about it and a real supporter of the song.” This unexpected collaboration has birthed a surprising Country banger, proving that the genre really isn’t all about ‘beer beer truck truck’ (and giving Chambers some high-profile songwriting credits, in the process).

What is TikTok’s 30-day gallon water challenge? PIXABAY: Willfried WendeThe 30-day gallon water TikTok challenge is trending on the social media platform despite its health risks. From Spa Water to treadmill workouts, TikTok has been responsible for countless of health and fitness trends. The latest one to trend on the app, however, could be dangerous for your health. While it’s unclear who started the challenge, and when it started, it is believed to be trending now due to the current heatwave in the UK. According to Hunkemöller, a third of British social media users are taking part in the 30 day water challenge. So what is the 30 day gallon of water challenge? The challenge is inspiring TikTok users to drink a gallon of water everyday for 30 days. In case you didn’t know, one gallon is about 4.5 litres, which is more than double the amount of water experts recommend you to drink a day. Users who have participated in the challenge, claim that their energy has been boosted, their skin is “glowing”, and any bloating they had is gone. Unsurprisingly, participants have also complained about constantly needing to pee. While it’s only natural to drink more water than usual during hot weather, drinking 4.5 litres of water a day can lead to dangerous side effects. A paper published in 2013 about the dangers of hyperhydration, reveals that water intoxication can present with symptoms such as fatigue, lethargy, disorientation, confusion, headache, nausea and vomiting. Moreover, experts say if sodium levels fall below 135 millimoles per litre, this is classified as hyponatremia. The worst case scenario of water intoxication is seizures, brain damage, coma, and even death. As well as health risks, some users have been criticised for the amount of plastic wasted by constantly buying bottles of water, instead of using a reusable one. Despite these concerns, TikTok’s thegallonchallenge hashtag has over 14 million views, with numerous of users joining the trend of drinking a gallon of water everyday for a month, and challenging others to do the same.

What is TikTok’s AI Green Screen trend? Viral filter makes art from your name TikTok: Sarah JSunTikTok’s AI Green Screen trend is taking over the platform as users scramble to see what artwork a filter can create by using their names as a prompt. Artificial Intelligence technology continues to make great strides, and now it’s sweeping across social media. TikTok’s propensity to spawn the latest trends and fads has now focused on an AI tech that creates artwork from a text prompt, which the platform named the ‘AI Green Screen.’. The trend is a simple filter that TikTokers can use in their videos. The premise is pretty easy: Simply choose the filter and type in your name in order for the AI tech to create an original image using your name as a guideline. Some images are clearer than others, and some, of course, are just downright strange. Click here if TikTok fails to load. The #aigreenscreen hashtag on TikTok has garnered over 141.6 million views as users flood the app to see what art AI will make just for them. Of course, you don’t have to just use your name. Other TikTokers have been giving the filter different prompts, such as this user who asked it to create an image of herself and her boyfriend in their dream home. Click here if TikTok fails to load. This is far from the first time that AI artwork has taken over social media; back in June, the Twitterverse exploded as netizens raced to share their results from the Dall-E Mini, an AI tool that similarly makes artwork from user prompts. However, instead of using one’s name, users can type in whatever they want, no matter how fantastical it might be. For instance, we at Dexerto typed in “black cat wearing a witch hat in a field of strawberry shortcake,” and got the below result: This is by far one of the more interesting trends to take over TikTok… and one of the least confusing ones, following viral claims that spawned on the app alleging there was a zombie outbreak in China.

What is TikTok? The world’s most downloaded social media app A lot of people nowadays know what TikTok is after the app blew up during lockdown over the course of 2020 and 2021 when everyone was stuck in their homes. However, you could be forgiven for not being quite up-to-date with social media’s latest hot ticket. Originally called A.me and later Douyin, the app was launched by ByteDance in Beijing, China in September 2016. ByteDance decided to make the move to global markets soon after realizing there was a need to get out there before competitors created their own versions. This led to the app’s rebranding as TikTok in September 2017 and was later launched outside of China in international markets. By January 2018, it was already Number 1 in several countries including Thailand. Some of the earliest American celebrities on the app included Jimmy Fallon and Tony Hawk. Soon, the likes of Jessica Alba, Justin Bieber, Will Smith, and Jennifer Lopez joined the fray. It was after that ByteDance bought musical.ly which was well-known for its comedy and lip-sync videos merging the two app’s video databases together. It’s believed ByteDance did this in order to better market TikTok to young American audiences.

What is TikTok Pulse? New ads and monetization for creators TikTokTikTok has announced a new program called ‘Pulse’ – and it’s all about advertising for brands. But how will this affect users and creators? Here’s what TikTok Pulse is all about. TikTok describes Pulse as “a new contextual advertising solution” – a new way for the app to monetize some of the most popular content, that it feeds to users browsing through their For You Page. Currently, ads are fairly limited on TikTok. Often you will see a video ad when you first open the For You Page, and then as you scroll, you might see a handful of sponsored posts pop up now and again, but they’re fairly unobtrusive. TikTok Pulse could mean that you see more ads as you scroll and watch content. Brands who use the program will be featured “next to” the top 4% of most popular posts. How TikTok Pulse works TikTok Pulse “lets advertisers place their brand next to the top content in the For You Feed.” Specifically, TikTok highlights the top 4% of posts, and these are split into 12 categories. Read More: What is the Quandale Dingle meme on TikTok? – The categories include some of the more common trends and subgenres of TikTok content, such as beauty, fashion, cooking, and gaming: “This creates an unparalleled opportunity to engage with the communities that matter most to brands.” Can you join TikTok Pulse? TikTok Pulse isn’t just good news for brands trying to advertise on the app, however. TikTok has also announced that they will “will begin exploring our first advertising revenue share program with creators, public figures, and media publishers.” To be eligible for the revenue share program, creators and publishers will need to have at least 100,000 followers. “We’re focused on developing monetization solutions in available markets so that creators feel valued and rewarded on TikTok,” the company explained. Before TikTok Pulse, there were limited ways for creators to monetize their content. TikTok launched the creator fund back in 2020, which is planned to grow to $1 billion, but other than this, creators typically only made money through sponsored video posts, which can be very lucrative for the top accounts.

What is the Zombie Woman TikTok? SixTwentySeven’s viral post terrifies users Unsplash/TikTok: SixTwentySevenTikTok user SixTwentySeven’s Zombie Woman TikTok has taken over the internet, with some users believing it’s completely real. However, nobody knows if that’s the case or not. Ever since it took off and started to dominate the internet, TikTok has been home to wacky and wonderful trends. Like every other social media platform, it’s also been home to some incredibly viral videos as well. Some of the biggest dances from the video-sharing app have taken off and been used as reaction responses on Twitter, and you’ve got your fair share of hilarious memes as well. However, more recently, one viral video left some users completely terrified as it showed a ‘zombie’ roaming the streets and it picked up over six million views within a day. The TikTok in question was posted by user SixTwentySeven – real name Ishea Brown Couch, a blogger and podcaster based in Seattle – on May 6 where he was confused by what she’d seen. In the now-deleted follow-up clip, Ishea captured a woman walking around on the ground below her, screaming like something right out of The Walking Dead. The woman is in a pretty bad state as well, looking well and truly like a zombie. “The face. Torn clothes. 3 strands of hair. Agonizing screams. I was shook,” Ishea captioned the post. “The police ended up coming to help her.” TikTok removed the clip, but Ishea dropped an update clearing up what she’d seen and how the emergency services reacted. Is the Zombie Woman TikTok real? The video quickly spread around TikTok as some users completely bought into the woman being a zombie. Others suggested that she might have been an accident and was truly distressed. However, some Twitter users pointed out that it could actually be part of filming for a movie by the name of KIMI, given that is being shot in Seattle this month. According to early details about the movie, its story revolves around the global health situation and crime, so the look of the woman in the video could match up with it, especially if she was helped by police. https://twitter.com/mishyyfishyy13/status/1390424045171232771 https://twitter.com/Cooper1214/status/1390432626486431748 There’s no way to know for certain if the TikTok in question is showing a real situation or if the theory about the movie is right. We’ll have to wait and see if anything further comes from it, and if Ishea posts another clip clearing things up further.

What is the WWE crying guy trend on TikTok? Viral Vince McMahon meme explained WWETikTok and Twitter have been going crazy over a clip of WWE’s Vince McMahon crying. It’s hard to escape the “crying guy meme” which has taken socials by storm, but what exactly is it? Here’s everything you need to know. TikTok and Twitter have continued to be some of the most popular social media platforms that are widely known for their trending topics. A viral trend that has taken them both by storm involves a video of WWE co-founder and former CEO Vince McMahon crying. This is not the first time McMahon has gone viral, whereby he has inspired endless amounts of viral content for years due to his hilarious reactions and dramatic interviews. But what exactly is the new WWE crying guy trend and why is Vince McMahon crying in the original video? What is the WWE crying guy trend? The new trend is being used to pull on heartstrings with his heartbreaking cry that is backed with emotional music as a meme template to create countless viral posts. In the videos, users are using McMahon as a representation of their future self as a dad reacting to their child asking them a question about a relatable time in their past of “when times were good.” They put a title or caption that starts with something such as: “Dad what was it like” or “Dad how was it.” Then they end it with a relatable throwback that they heartbreakingly reminisce about. This is then paired with the clip of Vince McMahon looking all teary-eyed to create a light-hearted humorous crying meme. Gamers have used this to reminisce about their times during lockdown in Fortnite and Warzone, while others have used their favorite shows, movies, and more popular times from their childhood. Why is Vince McMahon crying in the original video? The clip was from when McMahon appeared on episode two of the 2020 documentary Undertaker: The Last Ride, which focuses on the infamous WWE legend The Undertaker. He cried in the series after he was asked about what The Undertaker meant to him and the WWE. To which he couldn’t answer the question and instead waved it off as he began to cry unable to speak. Despite the WWE crying guy trend being a lighthearted TikTok trend, more dangerous and controversial TikToks have also become popular on the platform.

What is the ‘Waffle House has a new host’ meme on TikTok? UNSPLASH: Simon DaoudiA new meme is sweeping TikTok, as users are flooding the comments with the phrase ‘Waffle House has a new host.’ Here is everything you need to know. Over the years, there have been many different comment memes to go viral on the social media app. This involved users spamming about a mayonnaise incident that never happened, or the phrase ‘crop’ under random videos. The latest comment trend that’s been frustrating many people is a meme related to Waffle House. You may have noticed the phrase “Waffle House has a new host” in the comments of various videos with no other context. While some have understood its origins, many are still confused. Luckily for you, we’ve got you covered with all the details. ‘Waffle House has a new host’ meme explained This all started when YouTuber Johnny RaZeR shared a video explaining the trend. He said the idea behind the phrase was to flock the entire comment section on social media. “This is a phrase that is going to haunt me for the rest of my life. By explaining it to you, you’re now part of the bit and you are recruited to join the fight,” he explained. “As for the meaning of the quote itself, honestly, I know just as much as you. I’m pretty sure it’s just a reference to cursed waffle houses, which has been a bit of a running gag on my channel,” Johnny said. Initially, it was supposed to target YouTube. However, it slowly turned into a meme of its own as people started sharing the same on TikTok, and several other platforms. This isn’t the first time a nonsensical meme has gone viral on the short-form app. Earlier this month, thesleepyparamedic shared a video encouraging others to participate in “operation crumb blast.” The “operation” involved people commenting with a croissant emoji on any video they came across on their For You Pages.

What is the ‘wake me up dog’ cult on TikTok? TikTokTikTok users have started a new ‘cult’ with the new ‘wake me up dog’ trend, but what is it all about? Here’s what you need to know. Whether it’s through a video or comment, TikTok is full of different trends for users to hop on. The majority of these use a sound or video clip that users can share with everyone. Though, that’s not all. TikTokers have been joining ‘cults’ over the last few years, but it’s not as scary as it might sound. These ‘cults’ are, instead, just a way of identifying somebody that you might be interested in following because they have similar interests as you. Over the last few years, we’ve seen the likes of the Minion cult and Scream cult, where users adopt either a universal profile photo or spam video comment sections with one particular comment. Now, there is a new one that users are attaching themselves to – the wake me up dog cult. What is TikTok’s ‘Wake me up dog’ cult? That’s right, in the last few days, you may have noticed the ‘wake me up dog’ cult spreading across your For You Page and comment section. This ‘cult’ stems from a post made in mid-October by peanut_2323, where they got their dog to ‘sing’ the classic Avicii song Wake Me Up using a third-party app. The video, of course, went viral. Now, TikTokers are using an image of the dog wearing a Santa hat as their profile photos and commenting “Wake me up when it’s all over” whenever they see another use from the ‘cult’ in the comments section. As we’ve seen without ‘cults’, these trends usually last a few weeks before TikTokers move on to something else. Though, given how cute the dog is, we wouldn’t be shocked to see users still using the profile photo beyond the end of the trend.

Have enough players In order to be able to play, you will need to be at least two people to play, but it’ll be more fun if you’re three or more players. Pick one to be the guesser The guesser will have the important role of guessing what number the other players are referencing. Pick a number The rest of the players not chosen to be the guesser will then decide on a number, usually between 1-10. This will be the number that they’ll try to get the guesser to guess. Start the questioning As the game starts, the guesser will ask each person for a random thing, for example, a fast-food restaurant, a game console, or a US state. Based on the answer given, the guesser will have to determine where the answer falls between 1-10, with 10 usually being the best. All players receiving a question will have to make sure that the guesser stays around the number they agreed on. When all players later have answered a question, the guesser will have to guess what the number was. The game finishes when the guesser makes their guess, no matter if it’s right or wrong.

What is the viral “look between the keys” trend and why is it annoying the internet? X: chandler bing parodyPosters on X and TikTok are asking their viewers to “look between” keys on their keyboard to indicate a message they are trying to get across. However, some social media users are annoyed by how viral the trend has become. Although the “look between the keys” trend is becoming popular in April 2024 on X and TikTok, this isn’t the first time the fad has appeared on the internet. In 2021, users on the anonymous platform 4Chan began asking netizens to do the same thing. But what does it mean to “look between the keys?” For instance, if someone were to ask you to look between “H” and “L” on your keyboard, the acronym “JK” appears, indicating that the poster was “just kidding.” The meme that is shared with the text is to help viewers figure out what they are trying to explain. Your family loves you. — 𝖀𝕯𝖄!🐬💙 (@udyszn) April 22, 2024 Look between H and L on your keyboard. pic.twitter.com/ziFXuVdOOB In some cases, posters even use numbers and emojis to partake in the trend. One poster on X asked their viewers to “look between 7 and 9” while posting a collage of selfies.

She responded with a cryptic request, writing: “Will you promise to never take me out of your heart? Will you promise when you get married, imagine me in the audience cheering for you, with tears, because I know the woman in white won’t be me.” They asked them to update them about their life, even if their number was blocked, ending the texts, “I love you. I’ll love you, forever”. Two weeks later, Lemon’s mother texted the guy to inform them of a tragic development as she had died from coronary artery disease. The mother said: “You were the last person she texted. I thought you’d deserve to know.” The boy kept to his promise and texted the number, years after her death, to update Lemon on some major life events like meeting someone, proposing to her, and getting married. He texted the number, saying: “Maybe our hearts are linked after all”. Just four months later, he said the doctor had given him two weeks left to live, so he picked some lemons from his mother’s house, as she had done, for when they’d next meet. He ends the story by saying he wanted to make her a lemon pie to make it up to Lemon for not being able to fulfil her last wish of claiming her heart as his, but that he was looking forward to be with her again.

What is the viral ‘grinder salad’ sandwich taking over TikTok? TikTok: cookiterica / Unsplash.com: Raphael NogueriaTikTok’s latest culinary trend is taking over the short-form video platform — but what exactly is the app’s viral ‘grinder salad’ sandwich, and how can you make one at home? When it comes to producing good eats, TikTok is at the top of the food chain. The popular video app has made several recipes and fast food “hacks” go viral. Remember that mouthwatering baked feta pasta that was everywhere in 2021? Or that time a Chipotle regular taught customers how to get a loaded burrito for just $2? Now, TikTok has produced yet another viral food-related craze, and it’s called the ‘grinder salad’ sandwich. What is TikTok’s Grinder Sandwich? To be frank, this trend wasn’t something TikTok invented… not by a long shot. In reality, the grinder sandwich has been around for a long time. A ‘grinder’ is a type of sandwich on a long, Italian-style bread roll with a crusty exterior that’s a challenge to chew — hence the name, ‘grinder.’ However, the inside of the sandwich is far more soft, filled with a variety of meats like salami, ham, and/or prosciutto, as well as cheese, lettuce, and veggies. Click here if TikTok fails to load. The sandwich is also known as a regular submarine sandwich elsewhere, although it’s especially popular in New England. What is a grinder salad? The salad/veggie mix that goes on a grinder sandwich is a bit more of a specific affair, though. The recipe varies from region to region, but TikToker ‘cookiterica‘ gave us a pretty good recipe that goes as follows: 1 cup Duke’s mayo – 2 tbsp red wine vinegar – 2 cloves garlic, minced – 1/2 tsp black pepper – 1/4 tsp salt – Red pepper flakes, to taste – 1/2 cup banana peppers – 1 head iceberg lettuce – Thinly sliced onions, to taste – How to make TikTok’s grinder sandwich These sandwiches are fairly easy to make at home — just get yourself some hoagie rolls, meat and veggies of your choice, and add on some cheese. (Don’t forget the salad, though.) Voila! Of course, you can’t forget the condiments. Mayonnaise, olive oil, or creamy Italian dressing are a favorite for grinders. Click here if TikTok fails to load. The most popular ingredients for grinders include ham, prosciutto, or salami, provolone cheese, iceberg lettuce, banana peppers, red onion, tomato, and whatever dressing you desire. This is just the latest food-related trend to take off on TikTok. Previously, the app spawned a popular concoction called ‘dirty soda,’ which combines coffee creamer, coca-cola, and lime. We’ll let you decide if that particular cocktail is to your liking.

What is the viral ‘freeze frame photo’ trend on TikTok? TikTok: ariel..kingstadThe latest trend taking over TikTok has netizens using a filter that pauses their videos at certain intervals, creating a ‘freeze-frame’ effect… and people are loving it. TikTok is the premier destination for viral internet memes and trends. The platform has single-handedly spawned a number of the net’s biggest fads over the years — who could forget the iconic ‘Savage’ dance or, of course, that super-popular baked feta pasta recipe? The app also comes with a slew of filters that users can put over their videos to add a little pizazz to their content, the latest of which is taking off on the site in a huge way.

Users are loving this particular trend, with TikToker Katie Florence claiming it “made me feel good again” due to the filter’s “strong black and white” effect. Others have gotten pretty creative with the freeze-frame effect, with one TikToker capturing the perfect moment a Monarch butterfly opened its wings while chilling out on her glasses frames.

It seems as though the filter is kicking back up in popularity, and according to the TikTok Creative Center, it’s been “extremely popular in for the last 122 days in a row.” This is just the latest filter to take over TikTok, with the app’s ‘AI Green Screen’ feature also going viral earlier this month.

What is the viral “fungus” red banana that has sent the internet into a frenzy? Reddit / _pistoneA Reddit user has gone viral after they revealed a photo of a strange-looking red banana, which has left people baffled as to what exactly has happened. From creepy “Zombie” photos to TikTok users being baffled by NPC streams in the street, the internet is often left confused by strange goings around the world. One person was left disturbed after they bought a bunch of bananas that all seemed fine apart from one in particular that appeared strange. They posted a photo to Reddit of the peculiar-looking banana that has a vivid red substance inside. The post has since gone viral leaving everyone to question and speculate what exactly has caused the Banana to appear this way. Disturbing red banana goes viral due to “fungus” inside After over 15 thousand upvotes and hundreds of comments later, the internet has been left baffled as questions fly in for the poster as they provide more information. “Alright everyone, I did NOT eat it with the peel on, I broke it in half to inspect it after I noticed it looked weird on its tip lol,” the author said. “The interesting part is that this one banana in particular was way slower in ripening than the rest of the bunch. It was smaller as well,” they said. “It was weirdly small and that brown/orange thing (which is hard btw) was spread across the whole fruit,” the author said giving even more details,” the poster said. “That’s Mokillo. You should notify the place where you got the banana,” a commentor said as many claimed it was some type of fungus. “Holy sh*t. Some fungus then? Google says it’s not harmful though, fortunately. I was worried because I did eat the rest of the bananas sitting beside this one,” the author responded. Some people even suspected it had been posted by a bot, so they posted a further image to confirm, featuring one of the non-believing commenters’ usernames on it. Whether or not the Banana was harmful is certainly peculiar. In another strange happening, YouTuber Casey Neistat has discovered a massive sinkhole beneath a NYC sidewalk.

What is the fire challenge on TikTok? Unsplash: Max KukurudziakTwo TikTok challenges involving fire have been resulting in dangerous accidents for some of the participants, leading to warnings for those who also wanted to participate in the trends. TikTok is well known for the array of challenges and trends that have gone viral on the platform. While some of them are harmless enough, others have the potential to become dangerous, and that is exactly what’s happened in May as a result of fire-related challenges on the app. The TikTok Chip Fire Challenge One hack in particular that’s been garnering attention on TikTok is the ‘chip fire challenge’ which, as the name suggests, involves using potato chips, ideally corn chips, as an easy way to start a fire due to their high fat content. Click here if TikTok doesn’t load While the trick has been appearing on the internet and TikTok for a while, it has recently picked up a bit more traction, but this has led to some people taking the hack a little too far, and causing fires to get out of control. Read More: How to play Connect 4 on Twitter – On May 6, a fire broke out in the chip aisle of an Auckland supermarket, after which 60 firefighters arrived on-scene to attempt to tackle the substantial blaze. Two charged after West Auckland Countdown chip aisle fire https://t.co/Lwt1QclU1m pic.twitter.com/xF5NfWQ9nn— nzherald (@nzherald) May 11, 2021 Police claimed they were aware of a TikTok challenge in which people set fire to chip packets, which may have explained why this particular fire ended up happening in the chip aisle. The potato chip trick is one that has long been used by many campers, but the popularity it gained on TikTok means that more people have started diverting from the original purpose. TikTok Hairspray fire Challenge Another arguably more dangerous trend involves the participant spraying a shape on a mirror with hairspray, then switching off the lights and setting the shape alight.

She’s currently in the ICU with severe burns on her neck and arm.

These fire challenges aren’t the only dangerous TikTok challenges out there — a trend that involves using magnets as fake piercings has resulted in some people going to the hospital.

What is the Tortilla Trend on TikTok? Bizarre challenge goes viral TikTok: grace.enlow / Unsplash: micheile dot comTikTok users are going viral by participating in the latest bizarre challenge, the Tortilla Trend, which sees people attempt to slap each other in the face with tortillas while their mouths are filled with water.

There are new challenges taking off on the platform on a constant basis, and the latest one to go viral is the Tortilla Trend, which is garnering millions of views across the app. Although the trend appears to have been around since at least as early as 2021, it has seen a huge resurgence in 2022, with an increase in videos of people participating. The game is simple — everyone playing (usually two people) must fill their mouths with water, and as they stand facing each other, they have to take turns slapping each other with a tortilla. The aim is to make sure you don’t spill any of the water in your mouth from either the force of the slap, or from laughing too hard.

Click here if TikTok doesn’t load Several variations of the challenge are taking off on the app, with some not involving water, and others using a tortilla slap as a punishment if their partner gets a question about them wrong. In theory, the slaps shouldn’t hurt too much because of the softness of the tortilla, however, some of them have looked quite painful, so take caution if you decide to attempt the challenge. This isn’t the first time tortillas have been the subject of a viral trend on TikTok — in 2021, a popular hack that makes folding tortillas easier blew up on the app.

What is the Timer Trend challenge on TikTok? PIXABAYTikTok is known for its light-hearted and entertaining content, but some dangerous and harmful trends have also spread in the past, such as the Timer Trend. The Timer Trend challenge was created a few months ago, although it’s recently surged on the social media app, with the timertrend hashtag gaining over 8 million views. So what exactly is the Timer Trend challenge? In the challenge, the user starts by setting up a timer on their phone, with the alarm set to go off anywhere between several minutes and several days. A caption is often added to the video, saying something like “Let’s see who cares” or “I will do it when it runs out,” indicating that they’re planning to take their own life when the timer runs out. The aim of the harmful trend, is to get someone to reach out after seeing the video and message, to prove that they “care” about them. The timer is used to denote the time the user has left to “live”, hoping others will reach out to them before it runs out. As TikTok has banned words like “dead” and “suicidal”, users who take part in the challenge often replace the words with “unalive” and “s0ic1al.” Some users under the timertrend hashtag have even encouraged others to do the challenge. How to report the Time Trend challenge It’s important to always report harmful and deadly challenges on social media. If you come across videos promoting this challenge on TikTok, just click on the white arrow on the right side of the video, tap the icon that says “report,” and tap on the “suicide, self-harm and dangerous acts” option. If you want to report an account promoting the challenge, you can go to their profile, tap the 3-dot icon on the top right, and tap “Report” to report the account. TikTok has not made a public statement about the trend at the time of writing, however, previously dangerous trends such as the Blackout challenge have been banned, preventing the sharing of the hashtag.

What is the TikTok magnet challenge? Viral trend puts users in hospital TikTokA few strange trends have started to take over TikTok revolving around magnets, one that has people faking the fact they’re magnetic, and another that has led some to be admitted to hospital. As it’s become more and more like Vine, with comedy skits, pranks, and everything else taking over, TikTok has been home to some wacky and strange trends. In the past, users have reported seeing real-life ‘zombies’, tried to convince others that TikTok is shutting down, and even tried to make it seem like they can talk to spirits. However, in recent days and weeks, a few trends revolving around magnets have taken over and they’re both pretty usual. However, one in the UK has seen people admitted to hospital over. TikTok magnetic balls trend explained The trend that has taken over the UK revolves around things called ‘Magneto Balls’. As the name suggests, they’re small, magnetic balls that can be used in a variety of different ways. Read More: How to use TikTok’s new text-to-speech voice – One search for Magento Balls on TikTok will return results where users are making things with them and faking piercings, especially tongue and nose piercings. By putting these small magnets in their mouth, users have been giving off the illusion that their tongue is pierced and that the balls can speed around their mouth in a circle. However, as Sky News has reported, the UK’s NHS service has had to put a warning out against the trend and magnetic balls after several users were hospitalized for swallowing them, as they are a choking hazard. Though, a few have recovered from their hospital visit. What is the TikTok MagenticChallenge? The other ‘magnet challenge’ on TikTok is equally strange but isn’t as life-threatening. In fact, it’s just a complete hoax. What some users are doing is suggesting that they are actually magnetic and can make things stick to themselves. Of course, this isn’t true. As one post debunked things, pointing out that TikTokers are using tape to make one magnet stick to them. This makes it seem like they’re magnetic, but, obviously, they’re faking it. Of course, curiosity always gets the best of some and they’ll dive into a hole for both trends, regardless of what happens. However, anyone who messes with the ‘Magneto Balls’ trend should heed the warnings. As for the latter, no one is turning into X-Men’s Magneto anytime soon.

What is the TikTok door knock challenge? Police warn against trend Unsplash: @solenfeyissaTikTok has seen a plethora of trends on the platform over the years, with the latest being the door knock challenge. Here’s everything we know about it and why the police are warning against doing it. TikTok users have seen — and participated — in more than a handful of trends on the app since its launch in 2016. There’s been dozens of dance trends over the years, as well as more dangerous challenges like chroming and the devious lick. Now, the TikTok door knock challenge is causing police to warn against people doing it for their own safety. Here’s everything we know about the trend.

According to police in Friendswood, Texas, the trend has caused physical and emotional distress for residents and stated that there have been several reports from people. “In the video footage that has been received from victims, it appears to be teenage males that are kicking and banging on doors. The department is in the process of identifying all of the individuals involved,” they said. Fox25 Houston shared a clip of the footage on their Instagram account, where you can see a group of kids approaching the house before startling its residents. The police department garnered quite a bit of reaction on its Facebook post, with many sharing their thoughts on the challenge. “Come on!! This is Texas. People could get hurt doing this stupid stuff,” one said. Another replied: “That’s modern day ding dong ditching. Everybody did this as a kid including myself.” “This is not appropriate at any time of day. I agree with others. This could turn out very badly for someone’s child. They will either be killed or wounded and, yes, the parents will be very hurt, angry, etc. I hope they stop before it goes too far,” a third replied. Friendswood Police have removed the reference to TikTok in their Facebook post since it was first written.

What is the TikTok Effect House? How to sign up Unsplash: solenfeyissaTikTok has released beta sign-ups for Effect House, their very own development studio focusing on Augmented Reality effects. Snapchat and Facebook have gained some of their popularity by using augmented reality for their face mask filters on their respective messenger sections of the mobile apps. These use face detection on your camera to place entertaining images over your face like a Halloween costume. Following the footsteps of these tech giants, TikTok is looking for developers to sign up for the beta version of their Effect House Studio in an attempt to bring AR effects to the platform. TikTok Effect House Availability As of writing, TikTok has not yet released when the studio will be widely available to developers without having to enroll via the form on the Effect House website. TikTok Effect House signup and requirements If you’re a developer looking to sign up for beta access, TikTok has set up a new website where you can fill out a form to request access. Developers will have to answer a handful of questions while filling out the form: Name – TikTok Username – If they’re using it for work or play – Experience – If they’ve created an AR effect before – What type of effects they would be creating – PC or Mac – How they heard about Effect House – TikTok Effect House According to a report from TechCrunch, TikTok has characterized Effect House as an early “experiment,” while adding that some experiments do not make it to launch. However, the launch of an AR development kit would help TikTok compete with other platforms. In August 2020, Snapchat announced a multi-million dollar fund with the sole purpose of AR Lens creation. Facebook’s Spark AR platform was added to video calls in June 2021, helping it grow to over 600,000 creators across 190 countries. A TikTok spokesperson told TechCrunch: “We’re always thinking about new ways to bring value to our community and enrich the TikTok experience. Currently, we’re experimenting with ways to give creators additional tools to bring their creative ideas to life for the TikTok community.” While it’s unknown when creators will begin seeing AR effects on the user-side of the platform, it will be interesting to see how developers take advantage of the tools offered once they are released.

What is the TikTok Class Action Lawsuit Settlement Notice? App users eligible for payment Pexels.com: EKATERINA BOLOVTSOVA / TikTokTikTok users in the United States are receiving a notification claiming they are eligible for a settlement payment if they used the app before October 1, 2021. TikTok is arguably one of the most popular social media platforms in existence right now. The app has spawned a plethora of viral dances, trends, recipes, and more, and has even sparked the careers of numerous internet stars. However, TikTok is now undergoing major scrutiny after hitting its users based in the United States with a notification claiming they are eligible for a settlement payment if they meet certain conditions. What is the TikTok Class Action Lawsuit Settlement? On November 15, TikTok users in America were met with a notification that warned users they may be eligible for a class settlement payment if they used the application before October 1, 2021. The notification included a link to a website detailing the class action settlement. In short, the situation is as follows: Plaintiffs filed a class action complaint, claiming that TikTok “violated federal and state law by collecting and using, without sufficient notice and consent, Plaintiffs’ personal data in connection with their use of the TikTok – Make Your Day video-sharing application.” How much money can TikTok users claim from Class Action Settlement? As a result of the settlement reached between Plaintiffs and the Defendants, U.S. residents who used TikTok prior to September 30, 2021, may submit a claim to receive a payment. If approved, the Settlement could pay $92,000,000 to those who file claims. However, the actual payout for individual users is far less; if all 130 million monthly US users filed, each would receive around 70 cents. However, Illinois users are eligible to receive 6x the amount, as stated by the settlement notice website. Internet reacts to TikTok Class Action Settlement notification This information has spread throughout the internet, spawning a few humorous memes over on Twitter for those jazzed about receiving the monetary equivalent of a “McDonald’s soda” : Imagine getting $1.15 in a #tiktok lawsuit settlement.

The deadline for filing a settlement claim is March 1, 2022. A deadline of January 1, 2022 has been set for those who wish to file but exclude themselves from the settlement benefits, as well as for those who wish to write to the Court if they are dissatisfied with the Settlement. This settlement comes months after the app was met with another lawsuit for users in EU and the UK, with plaintiffs claiming TikTok allegedly illegally processed the information of children. The platform was also fined for $5.7 million in February 2019 by the US Federal Trade Commission for the way the app it purchased, Musical.ly, previously handled children’s data.

What is the TikTok ‘Angel Shot’ trend? TIKTOK: ELIANAGHENThe ‘Angel Shot’ trend has been sweeping TikTok, with users raising awareness about the drink order used to signal for help. Bars are a fun spot to hang out, share drinks with your friends, and to meet and socialize with new people. Unfortunately, they can also be a common place to meet creepy people with bad intentions. If you ever feel unsafe or uncomfortable at a bar, you can now use the ‘Angel Shot’ tactic, which has recently gone viral on TikTok. What is an Angel Shot? The ‘Angel Shot’ TikTok trend is the most recent trend that could potentially help you in your time of need. It may sound like an alcoholic beverage, but it’s actually a safe word people can use when they feel unsafe in a bar. According to Budget Branders, “If a patron asks for an Angel Shot, they feel unsafe in some way. The staff can respond by helping them get out of there, or even by removing another patron who is making that person feel uncomfortable.” The Angel Shot hashtag has received over 113 million views on TikTok. But, while the protocol is new to the social media platform, it is not new to the bar scene. Budget Branders says the term arose from the ‘Ask for Angela‘ campaign, which was formed in the UK. The campaign was designed to prevent sexual assault by urging people who felt unsafe in bars or clubs to “Ask for Angela.” When staff got the request, they would call a cab, and help the patron leave the situation discreetly, and safely. The term became popular during the MeToo movement as a way to help women avoid being victims of sexual assault. Other safe words to use in bars and clubs are ‘virgin vodka’ and ‘tequila vodka.’ In the UK, patrons can simply ask to speak to ‘Angela,’ to alert staff that they need help.

What is the TikTok chair challenge? Viral trend that men “can’t do” TikTok: culligan, Krystyna SorrentinoTikTok is renowned for some of the fun, crazy, and downright bizarre challenges and trends that go viral on the app. There are so many that it’s often difficult to keep up with, so what exactly is the TikTok chair challenge? Some viral TikTok challenges range from funny to dangerous, and can often be seen in national headlines for issues caused as people try to take part in the challenge. For example, the ‘chroming’ challenge has seen multiple young people die by sniffing aerosols, just one of many viral controversial TikTok trends. This one isn’t anywhere near as sinister, though, and is actually just intended to be a bit of fun, a seemingly simple task that is actually incredibly challenging — especially for men, who struggle far more than women when taking part in the challenge. TikTok chair challenge Those taking part in the challenge have to take two steps back from a wall, bend forward at the hip to rest your head on the wall, then lift a chair to your chest and stand up. The challenge has gone viral on TikTok on and off for a number of years now, dating back to at least 2019, but always floats back into the trending page and people continue to attempt it to this day. That said, it was first seen way before TikTok or even the internet existed. In a 1971 episode of All in the Family, the characters attempt it, and the same rings true once again: men can’t quite do it. It’s unclear why exactly men struggle with this challenge more than women do. One suggestion is that as women are typically smaller than men, their footsteps are shorter, and thus they are not as far away from the wall. Whether that is the definitive reason is unknown, but no doubt this challenge is standing the test of time and continues to both baffle and entertain those who do it.
