Have you ever really thought about the kinds of things that men do that make us go, "Oh, he's a keeper." Well, it's kind of embarrassing how we allow ourselves to be so impressed by the bare minimum. Any slight signs that indicate he takes the time to take care of himself — like owning conditioner, two sets of sheets, or a vacuum — will literally cause women to swoon. What is up with that? I would love to speak with whoever it was that set the bar for men because it is far too low. We need to decide what is actually impressive. Standards, women! Standards!

This TikTok might make you realize how men really do get praised for the most obsolete things. Ladies, prepare to cringe.

Parenting techniques change from generation to generation. As new trends and technologies develop, so do the struggles that parents come up against as they attempt to keep up with their kids. Nowadays, kids communicate via social media, which means parents need to catch up and quickly. Specifically, the mystical world of TikTok, which kids spend hours on, learning complex dance moves, how to cook pancakes a million different ways, and how to get revenge on their crush. Parents struggle to understand the appeal and tweet about their frustrations at needing to learn yet another social media platform. Parents, these relatable tweets are for you to make you feel less alone in your TikTok journey. Or lack thereof.

Gone are the days when being an influencer was a fun side-gig. Nowadays, if you want to make it on social media, you have to devote all your spare time to building a following and creating an online presence. But when you're dedicating that much time, the lines between your real life and the life you're pretending to live online can become blurred. One guy learned this the hard way when he uploaded a video to TikTok showcasing his daily routine, in which he claimed to spend four hours a day cuddling with his girlfriend. His girlfriend clapped back, saying she barely sees him for half an hour a day because of the extra time he dedicated to growing his following on TikTok. In response, she created a video displaying screenshots of his recent attempts to cancel plans, proving how little time he actually spent with her. Her actions resulted in him losing a chunk of his followers, who claimed he was a fraud and a liar. Understandably, her boyfriend wasn't happy with her, but she posted her predicament on Reddit's Am I TheA—hole claiming her actions were justified. What do you think?

Social media has become an integral part of our lives. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, Tik Tok, etc - pick your poison. Whatever you're on, you're probably addicted. The people of Twitter have taken to the platform on a weekly basis to rant about all the social media platforms, even though they keep coming back for more. I get it though. We just can't help it. There's always something happening on the platforms, and we just can't miss it. Check out the funniest social media tweets below from this week. 

Poor Millennials are constantly roasted all over social media by Gen Z. The two generations have an ongoing war that will probably not end until the next generation comes for Gen Z in a decade or so. Although they are constantly made fun of, it is important that Millennials celebrate their own culture from time to time. Soon enough it will be vintage and people will start spending hundreds on ratty VHS tapes.

TikTok user @thecorporatemama asked people to share exactly how millennial they are, but without using words, and these young adults definitely delivered.

Social media has become integral to all of our lives, for better or for worse. Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, Tik Tok- each of them has seemed to develop their own distinct personality as apps. People that use them approach the apps with different motives, whether it be to complain and rant online, or to brag about how hot they are via thirst trap pics. But the coolest thing about social media is that people can comment on your social media experience on social media platforms  - so meta!!! 

Naturally, Twitter is the best place to comment - and sometimes criticize - social media websites. Check out the best tweets about social media this week below. 

When we're young we are basically testing our parents to see how much we can get away with. How late can I push my bedtime? Will my parents actually check my homework every single day? If I just ask for a toy enough times will it appear out of nowhere?

Another common question is, "Can I change my name?" It's a phase that a lot of children go through as they struggle to find independence in their highly constrained world. But what if it's more than just a phase? A 5-year-old girl named 'Charlie,' showed a lot of determination when requesting to change her name to 'Charlotte.' Her mother, Bri, made a Tiktok about it, and it quickly went viral.

It can be really hard to let loose sometimes in life. We have schedules, scripts, and norms for our everyday lives. There are very few places where we are encouraged to be wild. At an all-you-can-eat buffet, and in bed. However, is there such a thing as too wild? Should we still watch what we say even when we're doing the deed? I guess it all depends on the situation.

I can only hope that all you weirdos can find someone who is turned on by the weird sh*t that might pop out of your mouth in bed.

It has been quite the week for British royalty. First the Oprah interview, then Pierce Morgan steps down from Good Morning Britain, and now this? Tiktok user lilwimby posted a video of a conspiracy theory about who Prince Harry's real father is. It seems that suddenly Americans possess a newfound interest in British royalty unlike ever before. Maybe we're getting bored of the closest thing we have to our royal family: aka The Kardashians.

Only a few days ago Tiktok user Nab decided to share her experience intervening in the situation we all know too well. Being crept on in the middle of the night by creepy-ass men. We usually try everything we can do to avoid this situation. We try to go out in groups, never walk outside alone, get in and out of our car as fast as we can... but sometimes it's unavoidable. Men will be men.

Being in love is a magical thing. Or so I've heard. All you want to do is sing from the rooftops and let everyone know how amazing your partner is. Or, as the modern-day love story would tell it, post a super PDA video on social media, with a super romantic song as the backing track. Because sharing is caring, right? One TikTok user named @rachelgwilson, created a montage of her relationship with her (gorgeous) boyfriend—No, I'm not bitter about it, why do you ask?—and put it to a song with the lyrics, "I found a guy told me I was a star…"

Her post went viral, and women used it as an opportunity to create videos of them singing the same song, but with screenshots of creepy, rude, and gross messages they've received from men in the background instead. The results are amazingly hilarious, but also sad because they just provide us with more tangible proof that... Men. Are. Gross. Here are some of the best reactions to her video that we found. Watch them and cry, and then let us know if you have any similar experiences, in the comments section!

Parenting is a full-time job and a pretty relentless one at that. There's no clocking off or switching shifts; being a parent is a permanent position, which involves the good, the bad, and everything in between. From the mess to the permanently empty wallet, to the spit-up every three seconds, parenting has its trials and tribulations. Parents are sharing on TikTok how you can tell they have kids without actually saying they have kids, and their videos are the most relatable thing ever. The trend was started by TikTok user @mommacusse, who showed how people can tell she's a parent without her saying anything. So whether or not you have kids, you used to be one, so you will relate hard to these funny videos.

People who have not slept with a member of the opposite sex will always wonder what it's like. Whether it's because they haven't managed to get lucky yet, they swing the other way, or they choose to live a life of abstinence, it will forever remain a mystery. The only way to somewhat understand what it's like is to ask people who have had the experience, which is precisely what one TikToker did.

Marissa Wilkes created a video on TikTok, explaining, "As a woman loving woman who has never been with a guy, I'm curious. Ladies, what is it like to sleep with a guy? Especially the ladies that also like the ladies that have been with men. Please, be brutally, brutally honest." Let's just say, her followers did not disappoint. They brutally roasted men, coming up with analogies that are harsh enough to make most men crawl into their man caves and never come out again. Scroll through and read the hilarious reviews left by these unsatisfied ladies left.

Men who mansplain are amongst some of the worst people on the planet. There's nothing more boring than having a man patronizingly explain something to you that you not only already understand but that you probably know more about than him. Welcome to men's fragile sexist egos, which can't possibly comprehend that a delicate, stupid little woman could understand something better than him— especially about their own bodies. I know, I know, not all men do this. But the ones who do give men a bad rep.

Tyra Blizzard decided to jump on the trending mansplaining bandwagon and shared a story on TikTok of how her ex-boyfriend tried mansplaining her period to her, explaining that she only needed a couple of spare tampons in her purse. and not as many as she currently had. She explained that she was "flabbergasted", and exclaimed, "Sir, how would you know about my flow?!" She then asked women to stitch or duet her TikTok with their own stories and share their own "jaw-dropping mansplaining experiences." Of course, her post went viral, and the responses came flooding in, and they are quite shocking. Here are some of the best, showing how alive and well the mansplaining disease is.

If you thought sexism wasn't still a genuine problem, think again. In a recent trend on TikTok, women are sharing their most "blatantly sexist" encounters, and the stories are shockingly heartbreaking. The trend started when TikToker @mandyalise uploaded a video recounting a frustrating experience she had while shopping with her soon-to-be-husband. She prefaced her rant by asking, "Ladies, what's the most blatantly sexist thing a man has said to you? I'll go first."

She explained how the pair were shopping for some "fancy new shirts" for her fiance. At the checkout desk, the male employee who served them provided crucial care instructions for the garments. "As he's scanning them, he's saying, 'Make sure you take good care of these. Make sure you wash them in cold water. Make sure you hang them to try and make sure you iron them. And who was that man looking at when he was explaining these washing instructions? Not my fiancé. He was looking at me."

The video has since been viewed 756k times and received almost 8k comments. Women from all over the world began sharing their own sexist encounters, which are truly heartbreaking. Here are some of those shocking revelations.

Wait...what? Did we really read that correctly? 

Gizmodo has reported that teens on the popular TikTok app, are now dipping their "jewels" in soy sauce. 

We don't really know where to begin on this one. Apparently, someone took a report from 2013, on a study that discovered not only the mouth is able to have taste receptors that are sensitive, but several parts of the body including the stomach, lungs, brain, and testicles are all sensitive to umami. Umami, the Business Insider defines it as "the amino acid taste of soy sauce."

So, there you have it. People are dipping their testicles into soy sauce to test out their taste receptors down there. 

If by some reason you're compelled to look into these #soysaucechallenge... here you go.

Is it just us or are these viral challenges just getting more bizarre and icky?
