I love to cook, but one frustrating thing about cooking is recipes. They just take so much reading. Some of them are like five steps! Like, just get to the point already, recipe! We all know "process" is fake and you can actually just mix up all the ingredients at once no matter what the dish is. You're just trying to fool me into looking at a website. TikTok's short-video format solves this problem--they give me my recipes how I want them: in rapid-fire. If I miss something because I can't rewind the video, oh well, guess I'll be missing some ingredients. Anyway, I challenged myself to try out a bunch of different TikTok food trends in one week, to see if rapid-fire really works. Here's what I found out.

Getting over a relationship is extremely difficult. Hey, sometimes I even struggle to get over a very brief hookup or a singular date that probably didn't even go that well in the first place.  The point is some people get easily attached to others, and then it makes it a bit harder to move on. There aren't really guidelines on how to behave after a breakup. You could get salty, or try to move on really quick, or just make sure you have a man in every one of your Instagram stories.

On TikTok, people are sharing the things they couldn't get rid of from their exes, and I understand, because some of these things are just too useful to throw out.

After a 19-Season run, The Ellen Show Just announced on Twitter that this will be their last season. The general response from the public seemed to be something along the lines of, 'sigh, Finally." It hasn't been too long since uncomfortable Ellen moments began resurfacing online and the hashtag @RIPEllen was trending on Twitter. Ellen's reputation has changed drastically in the past year. Her reasoning for ending the show, in her words, was because it stopped being a challenge.

One of the most monumental moments was her seemingly harmless interview with Dakota Johnson. This video arguably started the fall of Ellen, as it started a much larger conversation about Ellen's character. If you haven't already seen it, prepare to cringe.

Every Thirsty Thursday, the ladies at Cheezcake choose a hot celeb to thirst over. Last week, we were all about Hamilton's Leslie Odom Jr. and his golden suit at the Oscars. This week, we're oh, so desperate for Chris Evans to notice us, and the Twitter-sphere happens to be on the exact same page. Scroll down for the funniest thirst tweets over Chris Evans this week. 

A large part of growing up is gaining new obsessions. While it's happening, we like to believe that, 'It's not a phase, mom!' But it doesn't take too long to realize, yep, that was definitely a phase. For example, I used to be obsessed with Spongebob. Yeah, Mr. Squarepants. I actually wanted him painted all over my room. I guess I thought I was going to forever be into iconic Nickelodeon shows... but alas, this phased probably lasted no longer than 6 months.

People are sharing the things they used to be obsessed with that they didn't exactly take with them into their adult life. Classic.

Americans are known for a lot of things. Some stereotypes are cool, like how we are known to have the craziest college experiences, fairly good customer service, and unlimited drink refills. These generalizations don't tend to bother anyone. However, there are less flattering ones as well... Unfortunately, Americans don't have the reputation of being the sharpest tools in the shed. Which, of course, is not always true! But after seeing these comments from TikTok, it might help you understand where this stereotype came from.

The trends are constantly changing and, whether we like to admit it or not, it is the youths who decide what is in and what is out. In middle and high school you can see the trends directly manifested into friend groups, and it is only natural that those groups are ever-changing. Some cliques remain forever, like stoners and nerds, but many other styles, like emo, scene, and punk can only be found in 90's coming-of-age movies or in expensive 'vintage' shops residing in gentrified neighborhoods. Only those who have the budget have the power to revive them.

If you're also curious about what trends divide the youths today this Reddit thread has got you covered.

Everybody has their favorite fruit, they are all so different. Some are juicy, sweet, sour — there's really one for everyone. But each person also has a least favorite fruit as well, and for whatever reason March 22, 2021, was the day people decided to roast their least favorite fruits on Twitter. It looks like it got quite political, fruits are nothing to joke about. Just wait till people start roasting their bottom-tier veggies. There may be casualties.

But actually, this is a hilarious thread, it was just the kind of content I needed in my life today. Maybe you too.

It is no secret that the Kardashians dabble in plastic surgery procedures. Many of them have been pretty honest about it too. However, ever since Khloe posted a new video of herself on Instagram, Twitter has blown up. Some people are concerned, some are amused, and some are confused why any of us give AF. In truth, we don't care what Khloe wants to do with her face, it's her face, not ours. But it still is funny to see how invested thousands of people are in this newest Kardashian 'scandal.'

Haven't come up with a name yet for your best girlfriend? Well, you are in luck because apparently there is a trend going around where people reveal the names of their cooters based on the last TV show they watched/binged/hated, it doesn't matter. Before moving forward maybe you should think back to your name. I'm pretty proud of mine: Love Island.

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!

Society's attitude towards acknowledging mental health may have come a long way, but it still has a long way to go. The good news is that we are finally starting to take mental health more seriously, which means people are more likely to get the help they need, especially when it comes to therapy. The bad news is that toxic masculinity is still very much a thing, discouraging men from showing emotions, talking about their feelings, or seeking help. This isn't men's fault necessarily; it's more society at large who is to blame. But in the meantime, it doesn't mean we can't make fun of men for their emotional ineptness, and a trending meme has taken full advantage of that. People are completing a Tweet using the format "men will literally ___ instead of going to therapy," filling in the blank with all of the insane measures they've seen men go to to avoid acknowledging or expressing their feelings and emotions. They are using it to call out Donald Trump, make fun of male movie characters, and a whole lot more. Here are some of the funniest ones we've found. Men, it's time to take your mental health seriously!

There aren't many body parts you can't cover when it comes to glitter. Some jazz up their armpit hair with the stuff, whereas others like to bedazzle their butt cheeks. Whatever floats your boat.

Instagram is the home of all ridiculous beauty trends, and this one certainly takes the cake. Just search the #glittertongue on Instagram and you'll see plenty of similar images to the ones below.
