    I am convinced most people are just walking around as blank eyed zombies that can only think about food, sex, and scrolling TikTok.

      In my town it’s common to see somebody riding their bike through heavy traffic while looking at their phone. I don’t get it at all.

        I just did one of my 50 mile rides this morning on a bike trail, and I passed a bunch of people with their phones mounted on the handlebars, watching videos of some sort. Like, I guess I could see having a GPS app open, but watching videos? Why the fuck are you even out here? Get a stationary bike and be safe at home at least.

        Many people riding and walking on the trail are playing music through their phone speakers instead of using earbuds. It’s somewhat less annoying since you don’t have to be around them for long, but it’s still annoying.

        I’ve made many victims, mostly steps.
        Not looking ahead for loong time, going into my bikelane without realising and then I give them a shoulder with a scream of surprise and anger.
        last one I didn’t even have to look, I heard the sound of him and his phone hitting the asphalt. So satisfying.

        And before the angry comments: One of those clowns broke my girlfriends arm with that idiotic behavior and I’ve also had near accidents.
        If you’re this selfish and irresponsible you deserve it.

      Hey don’t bring tiktok into this. I’ve discovered quite a bit of good music, political uprisings, neat hobbies, beautiful art and artists of all kinds, philosophical concepts, and wonderful ways to look at life on there. Like those two hiker guys from “we love you” that talk about being present and coping with and appreciating life.

          No please don’t take this away from me. It’s one of the last things I have that help me feel normal. It’s a net positive on my life. It’s queer, it’s outspoken, it’s fresh, it’s thoughtful. What reasons do you have that I shouldn’t use tiktok?
