WHEN it comes to kids and teenagers, it’s all about TikTok. Competitors try to clone it, the U.S. President tries to shut it down, but the video sharing service just keeps on rolling, with around 850 million people estimated as active users. Even if you don’t like it, TikTok is the marketplace of ideas for anyone under 25. You know who’s gaining popularity on TikTok? Satan’s little pal Baphomet! The goat-headed deity first rose to fame in 1307 during the Inquisition of the Knights Templar, but he/she/it is still hip. Baphomet is all over the Tik these days, with gothy (and ironic) teens using the app’s “Time Warp” feature to pay tribute to the dark one by making themselves in its image. It’s the today version of throwing up horns at an Ozzy show, and like the Satanic Panic of the 1980s that Ozzy and friends birthed, religious TikTok is not happy with the movement. A note for parents: Baphomet isn’t real, but if your kid is into techno-devil-worship-biz, it’s probably because they’re creative and school is boring. If they’re into warning other kids about Baphomet, it’s probably because they’re pure-hearted and idealistic. So just relax. Even if they don’t realize it, the most important thing happening on planet earth for teens is the development and deployment of vaccines for coronavirus. But because this is a dark and terrible time, people are actively spreading misinformation about potential pandemic-killing injections. Luckily, a group of users on TikTok are countering the spread of vaccine lies by creating a place for experts to provide valuable and truthful information to curious teenagers. The scientists of The Slo Mo Guys channel have posted a video for you where apples are blowed up real good. They not only used compressed air to spin an apple at 6,565 RPM, they also captured the resulting apple-splosion on a camera running at 28,500 frames per second. Over a million viewers have watched the video in only its first couple days online.(SD-Agencies) |
