If you liked our posts on Twitter accounts like "Out Of Context Human Race" or "-1000 IQ", you should love this one as well.
It's called "Pictures Of The End" and according to the people behind the fun internet project, this parody account documents the end of the world, inviting everyone to witness the last era of humans and animals on Earth.
Sounds like a weird premise, I know, but the content isn't gruesome or anything. Rather, it's so nonsensical, you can't help but think that life on our planet has evolved to its final stage and everything is going downhill from now on.
How else would you explain a dude drinking hand sanitizer straight up? We're doomed.

While human extinction sounds like something straight out of a nightmare (or in this case, a joke), there are many ways in which it could happen.
Popular culture usually focuses on the most spectacular possibilities: like the hurtling asteroid in the film Armageddon or the alien invasion of Independence Day.
And while such a dramatic end is possible, focusing on such scenarios may distract us from the most serious threats we face today.
"Of course it was tragic," said the family's lawyer, "but Mrs Pomeroy always loved the beach. It was the way she would have wanted to go."
For example, both the World Health Organization and the World Economic Forum listed climate change and its effects as one of the top risks.
Recent UN talks already called climate change "a matter of life and death" for many regions and many, including Sir David Attenborough, believe it could lead to the collapse of civilizations and the extinction of "much of the natural world".
The possible threats are complex and diverse, from killer heatwaves and rising sea levels to widespread famines and migration on a truly immense scale.
Postal carrier be like: I'm not taking this thing back to the truck.
Also, let's not forget the potential risks from novel technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI).
Experts highlight scenarios that range from increasingly sophisticated cyber-weapons that could hold an entire nation's data to ransom to autonomous algorithms that could unwittingly cause a stock-market crash.
While many focus on rising tensions between global powers and talk about conflicts like nuclear war, new technologies may also be making us less safe.
But think of all the pictures these events would produce!
When the robots take over the world and start employing the humans.
Translation: "Austria, things are going well for us here"
This is completely unrealistic! The cat wouldn't let their human have the pillow or blanket!
Fun fact: the cement is actually dry. That's just a really heavy tortoise.
NO!!!! WHAT HAPPENED TO MY FREEDOM!!!? NEXT THING YOU KNOW THEY'RE GONNA START TELLING US TO HAVE ARMS!!!!!
And it was at that point she realised that she'd made a HUGE mistake...
Forgive me father, I jumped 3 red lights, broke the speed limit to get here and confess to impure thoughts ;o)
If thats what it takes for anybody to take and read a new book, so shall be it!
Load More Replies...Tik Tok and social media has become a new way to transmitting oral based knowledge. That can be great! I've read a lot of good books I would never have read thanks to TikTok and Reddit. Yay for culture!
I've actually learned a lot on tiktok, if you spend some time there your fyp addapts to your liking and it's really great. I don't get all the hate it gets
Load More Replies...Actually, this isn't a bad think. On TikTok theres a section of it called "BookTok" where people pretty much recommend books, do book reviews, and make book jokes. It's added a lot to my TBR and it's not bad at all!
This one isn't bad. There's a book community on Instagram and there's one on tiktok. Who cares??
There is actually a part of TiK Tok where people recommend books. Whatever gets people to read more is a plus in my opinion!
I’ve seen this at my Barnes & Nobel! The books are actually decent books, I’ve even read a lot of them. I’ve actually gotten a few good book recs from TikTok. If you’re in the right side of it you can find some good stuff.
For everyone angry about this: There are a /lot/ of authors on TikTok promoting their work and the work of other authors. It's a social media platform like any other.
Anything to get them off the electronics and F'n read a book! There just something about holding a real book in your hand and turning real pages. And if it's a used book or really old the smell of the pages (hold your perverted thoughts Pandas) is something you can't experience reading on a tablet or phone.
Tik Tok people can read amazing! A book even - wow they may actually learn the truth about things!
As seen on tik toc… real books. Caution, your attention span must be longer than 30 seconds. May take some getting used to.
We call ourselves booktok and there are tons of great creators and authors on there promoting and sharing great reads.

This belongs here: The white sheet promotes a lecture about "Specific ways of self-healing in cases of physical and/or mental illness." The red message says "Cancelled due to illness". Found this gem a few years ago while taking a walk :D IMG_201811...e90ed1.jpg
Ohhh, schade dass es nicht geklappt hat xD Vielleicht nächstes Mal!

I have a picture of a random upside down dum dum lollipop in the gym
