Sounds like tiktok has discovered 2008 humor? Maybe a signal that the old and uncool are getting established there?

Humor is cyclical. When a joke is completely forgotten it is no longer outdated :)

A lot of popular TikTok humour has just been regurgitating things from the mid 2000s. I think I've heard World's Loudest Orgasm from TikTok videos more than I did in its heyday, and I don't even browse TikTok.

Seems like the headline is the complete story. Dabloons are the imaginary currency of TikTok. I wonder how long it will take for someone to create a cryptocurrency version of this.

Weird to see NYT filling the role of KnowYourMeme, but I suppose if it’s being written it’s capturing clicks.

Whenever I find out a new meme is from TikTok I usually move on. You don’t really get a full understanding unless you have time to watch the videos.
