The TikTok algorithm is a mysterious beast that proves difficult in predicting it’s next move. As a result, users are always trying new tricks and techniques to get an edge on the competition or to evade restrictions. One such example is the use of the ‘FakeBody’ hashtag. But what is the Fakebody hashtag, and does it work for its intended purpose? What does #Fakebody mean on TikTok? Videos that may be considered potential nudity by the TikTok algorithm often feature the #FakeBody hashtag. The reason users add the Fakebody hashtag to their posts is an attempt to signal to the…
RuneScape membership premiered at five dollars per month in 2002. The fee unlocked unrestricted access within the game with no additional costs required. However, membership today costs much more. Is RuneScape membership too expensive today or is it worth it? During the earlier years of the games success, creator Andrew Gower felt that Microtransactions were against the spirit of the game, with a news post in 2006 saying as much: We feel your status in real-life shouldn’t affect your ability to be successful in the game. Jagex, 2006 Despite initial pure intentions, the landscape of the gaming world has drastically…
Much to the surprise of non-British natives, not everybody in the United Kingdom speaks like the endlessly portrayed posh-gentleman archetype from the news and media. With a dizzying quantity of regional dialects packed tightly into the United Kingdom, a thirty-minute drive will often suffice in hearing subtle differences in the local dialect. The ‘posh’ London dialect is a mere three hour drive from Yorkshire, but the two accents could not be any further apart. Incidentally, Yorkshire is where Kay’s Cooking resides. Endeared for her eclectic cooking tutorials, Kay’s Cooking is cooking up something fierce on social media. Her YouTube currently…
TikTok creators are sharing their experiences of the Fruit of the Loom, namely the lack of a cornucopia they distinctly remember being present on the logo. Despite strong convictions by passionate believers, Fruit of the Loom deny ever using a cornucopia on their branding tags. So what may be driving this collective misremembering of the Fruit of the Loom branding? Fruit of the Loom Mandela Effect on TikTok The Mandela Effect occurs when a large group of people seem to remember something historically that is contrary to what current evidence tells us. The term was coined in 2010 by paranormal…
An increasing number of TikTok creators are adopting a lifestyle trend known as ‘Sober Curious’. To be sober curious is to increase mindfulness on drinking habits in order to reflect on whether we are causing ourselves more harm than good. TikTok users are spreading this trend through movements such as ‘Damp January’ to promote harm reduction. Whilst there’s nothing wrong with enjoying a pint or two with friends, many of us upon introspection may find that we’re spending too much time thinking about alcohol, or squandering vast swathes of cash on pints every week. Whilst not technically in the dreaded…
A rather confusing slang phrase that keeps popping up on TikTok is ‘KIAB’. It may seem difficult to understand at first but it’s simply a new evolution of a phrase that’s been around for as long as time. Everybody at some point in their lives needs to ask a friend or family to be truthful, or to be 100 percent honest. In some places of the world, you can ask them to KIAB. If you ask somebody to KIAB, you are asking them to ‘Keep It A bean’, or to ‘keep it a buck’. How did this phrase come to…
TikTokers are discovering that mentioning a certain shopping website may get them permanently banned from the website. As a result they’ve come up with a crafty method to swerve the detection algorithm by using coded speak. You may have heard of some of the phrases: The Fence, The Gate, Fence Finds, Gate Finds. The meaning of ‘The Fence’ on TikTok is to discuss the website ‘DHGate’ without being automatically detected by the TikTok algorithm. But why are users having to resort to using coded speak when discussing the website, and why is there so much buzz around the website? Fashion…
The soundbite ‘Tu Velo’ seemingly has no meaning. What’s more is the obscurity of the origin. Despite dozens of viral clips including the phrase, it’s exceedingly difficult to find out what it means. Some say it’s a Spanish phrase. Google translate indeed returns “your veil” when typing in Tu Velo. Alas, that isn’t the origin. So where does it come from? Origin of ‘Tu Tu velo’ The unlikely source of the meme phrase ‘Tu tu velo? Period!” is none other than Megan Thee Stallion. During an Instagram livestream, Megan can be seen slightly bemused trying to pronounce the artists name…
