35 Times People Posted Such Unhinged Things On TikTok, This Twitter Page Just Had To Shame Them (New Pics)
TikTok is a video hosting platform that allows its users to post clips up to 10 minutes long. And with so many of them using the app each month, you bet your feed there's a lot of, let's call it, questionable content.
Which is what the Twitter account 'Wild TikTok screenshots' is all about. It shares follower-submitted stills from the social network that vividly illustrates just how chaotic it really is.
Continue scrolling to check out the ridiculousness and when you're done, open up our first publication on 'Wild TikTok screenshots' if you want more of the same.

TikTok took only 5 years to reach the 1-billion monthly active user mark, a shorter period of time than many of its competitors.
For comparison, Facebook did it in 2012. That's eight years after its launch in 2004.
Instagram reached the same number in 2018, also eight years after launching in 2010.
But TikTok’s success hasn’t been without difficulty.
The company was threatened with a ban from the Trump administration last year, citing security and data concerns, which would have pushed the app into American ownership. But President Biden abandoned these plans.
Security concerns, however, persist. For example, last week, Forbes published an article accusing TikTok of ambitions to monitor the personal location of some specific American citizens.
The text also said that its unclear whether any data was actually collected. But TikTok hit back in a series of tweets claiming that the article lacks both rigor and journalistic integrity.
TikTok said Forbes “chose not to include the portion of our statement that disproved the feasibility of its core allegation: TikTok does not collect precise GPS location information from US users, meaning TikTok could not monitor US users in the way the article suggested.”
Why should they want to stop in the first place? It's a natural thing, just don't wipe the results in a sock and hide it under the bed ;)
yall american schools actually have ur assemblies like that? i thought it was only in movies anyways please dont downvote
Meanwhile, a Forbes spokesperson said: “We are confident in our sourcing, and we stand by our reporting.”
John Paczkowski, executive editor of technology and innovation at Forbes, added that TikTok and its parent company, ByteDance, “have not denied any of the claims in the story.”
Its algorithm, which makes it easy to consume videos, has also been blamed for amplifying misinformation and other harmful content.
The US government is currently negotiating with ByteDance over concerns about national security and the safety of Americans' personal data on foreign servers. And there are ongoing concerns about the mental health harms the app may pose to teenagers and young people.
I'm also lefty. In school, the nuns would tell me I was only seeking attention, and I got tied up again.
Load More Replies...Any opinion with Sonic the Hedgehog in the background should be instantly recognizable as satire.
Load More Replies...The right brain controls the left side so left handers are the only ones in their Right Minds
Once, seated at a round dining table, the server noticed we were all left-handed. WHAT ARE THE ODDS 8 people, not related, all being left-handed?
Haha fine let’s test. Watch me write with my right hand then watch me write with my left hands. You be the judge.
I don't exist? This is the best news I've heard in... forever, really
Apparently, I don't exist? Doesn't help with my already worsening existential crisis.
An existential crisis that I didn't need today. On the other hand, it's quite liberating not to exist.
That one was probably brought up in the older days ways where religion dictated that left-handed people needed to be corrected and thus were not possible in today's world... That, or they were just plain stupid.
Two things - Just because you don't 'believe' in it does not make it untrue. Just because you don't like it does not make it untrue. I heard a girl once say she doesn't believe in birth control. I asked her if she knew that it existed. She said yes. I told her then she clearly believes in it. Maybe doesn't believe in using it, personally, but she has to believe in something that is verifiably true.
How are some people so stupid? I am not left-handed, but my dad, that annoying boy at school, and one of my friends are left-handed. SMH.
"I'm gay." 'No, you're not, it's just a phase, stop being an attention seeker.' goddammit
As someone who had to take a remedial handwriting class in kindergarten because no one could read my writing.... Yes, we do exist. (Spoiler alert: it didn't help. My handwriting is still c**p lol)
I understand in Middle Eastern countries using the left hand is considered “unclean”….so what do they do to the poor kids who just so happened to be left handed???
My brother is ambidextrous. That's even rarer than being lefthanded.
1. AM I A ATTENTION SEEKER? 2. AM I LEFT HANDED? Answers: 1. Yes (for joking only), 2. No, I am right handed.
Southpaw here...we exist and we're taking over the world!! Mwhahahahahahaha!!
Is this a thing. I don't think I've ever heard this. Although School did try to make me write right handed, but that was 30 years ago.
Normally I would think they're not being serious, but since this is TikTok so they probably are.
John Oliver just referenced this topic! Once people started accepting that people can be left handed, the % of lefties increased rapidly until it plateaued. The % didn't increase because more people wanted attention, it was because they weren't forced to be RiGhTiEs
Looks like I gotta tell my daughter that she's just an attention seeker 😅
I wish I was a lefty. People who don't exist don't have to get up for work in the morning. (Hey, politically I'm a lefty. Can that count?)
But its users seem to be happy with the app. At least for now. So TikTok continues to grow in influence.
In fact, there's a new survey from Pew Research Center that asked American adults from a range of age groups about which social media sites they get their news from, and TikTok and Instagram were the only platforms that have increased since 2020, while other sites included in the survey — Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, YouTube, Snapchat, LinkedIn, Twitch, and WhatsApp — have all decreased.
Unpopular opinion but I agree. Doesn’t excuse them from being annoying pests though.
As Fred said in Big Hero 6: “I wear 'em front. I wear 'em back. I go inside out. Then I go front and back”
This one needs to go see a shrink asap.... When someone is that sick, and you feel that compelled to do something like this.... seeking attention to the absurd limit :'(
I hope you don't have kids. Let's talk about loving and protecting a person from the world because you ma'am are in it.

Some sure, clickbait most definitely, but spend enough time browsing tt and yt and you realise that this level of intelligence *lack thereof, does exist.
Load More Replies...Some are comedy, some satire, some serious. I still think you could erase it and all the people on it and nothing of value would be lost. A bit like me I guess.
do ya´ll realize most of these are jokes? You don´t have to think their good jokes but don´t treat them like their serious.
They´re and they´re, sorry to my fourth grade teacher who called me a good writer
Load More Replies...You guys realize the majority of these aren't real, right? I mean they're real tiktoks but the "stories" are just satire. They didn't actually happen, they're just for lols.
i'm so tired of going on bp and seeing these tiktok things with comments from people who have no idea how to take a joke. god
Including all the Satire and Comedic posts ruins the BP experience.
Perhaps they need to label these "dark humor" so that the boomers commenting understand that the posts are satire
Holy mother of god, wer f#cked on earth if this is what people think is ok 🤦♀️
