TikTok users freak out as scientist goes viral with huge human bone collection TikTok: JonsBonesTikTok user \u2018Jon-Jon\u2019 (@jonsbones) has gone viral with his extensive collection of human cartilage. The Osteologist (studier of bones) showed off his \u201cpride and joy\u201d to almost half-a-million followers. Viewers have freaked out at the video, with one calling him a \u201cwhite man who owns minorities\u2019 bones.\u201d Whether explicit, scary or downright gross, TikTok users love a weird trend! NYC-based bone trader \u2018Jon\u2019 has been attracting thousands of viewers with his morbidly curious videos. Prior to August 12, Jon\u2019s Bones have been relegated to their small corner of the internet with a loyal cult following. When Twitter user Alex Peter shared the video, however, over one-million fresh faces found themselves intrigued. The TikTok generated mixed feelings among viewers. A lot of them displayed concern with the legitimacy of the bone trading game. Please stop asking about my human bone collection. It is totally legal pic.twitter.com\/LQjCDw0KoW \u2014 Lolo (@LolOverruled) August 12, 2021 How many bones does Jon own? The viral video showed an array of human skulls, spines and even several full-body skeletons. While he hasn\u2019t addressed exactly how many bones are in his collection, Jon certainly has enough to fill an entire room! According to the man himself, the rarest additions to his back-catalogue include a fetal skull and a skeleton dating back to 1910. Jon stated that he doesn\u2019t find the bones \u201cdisgusting\u201d and we should start to \u201cde-stigmatise\u201d bone ownership. Twitter users took offense Over 900 people replied to Alex\u2019 Tweet, with 7,665 users expressing their opinions via quotes. \u201cSaying he\u2019s sketchy is an understatement,\u201d one user wrote. \u201cI\u2019m a trained bioarcheologist. I\u2019ve assisted in autopsies\u2026 you know what I\u2019ve never done? Owned human remains,\u201d said another. I\u2019m a trained bioarchaeologist. I\u2019ve assisted in autospies, examined 100s of sets of remains, waded through chest deep swamps looking for bodies, and excavated burials. You know what I\u2019ve never done? Owned human remains. Because it\u2019s disgusting and unethical. \u2014 Myra Miller, MA MPH (@Myra_Miller13) August 13, 2021 \u201cThis dude seems nice,\u201d one user Tweeted. \u201cBut what the f**k?\u201d This dude gives me such a weird vibe tho\u2026 like he seems nice but what the f-ck \u2014 Jesse \u2622\u2754\ud83d\udc7e\ud83d\udca3 (@scaary_vibes) August 12, 2021 Check out Jon\u2019s TikTok for more morbid content!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
