What is the ‘I wish I had a time machine’ TikTok song?

There’s nothing like a TikTok sensation to give a song some new legs. Muni Long’s single, “Time Machine” was released in November of last year, but it’s getting a new surge of popularity on the video-sharing platform as users take advantage of the song’s wistful lyrics to imagine how much better life would be if they could go back in time and change things.

The track was written by Priscilla Renea aka Muni Long. Renea is no stranger to pop success. As a songwriter, she’s co-written some big hits including “California King Bed” by Rihanna, “Worth It” by Fifth Harmony, Kelly Clarkson’s “Love So Soft”, “Imagine” by Ariana Grande, and Pitbull’s “Timber” to name a few. Muni Long is the artist’s performance persona under which she has released several projects. “Time Machine” is a track off of her latest EP, Public Displays Of Affection.

Background music has been core to TikTok’s brand from the start and many of the platform’s breakout stars came to fame with choreographed dance routines to other artists’ work. More than occasionally, a song or lyrics will inspire a viral meme that sweeps the social networking service.

Users have been inserting Time Machine’s chorus into their videos as background music to reveal just why they would go back in time for – often to hilarious effect.

Topics vary from reliving anxiety-ridden moments of cringe to regrets about the one – or many even – that got away, to childhood moments and memories both precious and not so precious. Viewers and users are loving the trend, many of the videos are receiving thousands of likes. This seems like it will become as popular as several other musical trends, such as the Celine Dion Challenge, that have periodically grabbed the attention of users en masse. The hashtag currently has over 260 million views.

One of the more popular videos, by user Dr. Destini, shows a young woman over a sink performing several chores. The overlay text reads ” When you realize being ‘grown’ is a never-ending cycle of bills and cleaning the kitchen”. The caption reads, “Mom can you come pick me up?? 🥴 #timemachine #adultingishard

Another popular video comes from a surprising source – the singer herself. One of the videos to embrace the trend features the artist herself having a particularly bad accessory day, wishing she could go back and choose a different pair of earrings. Renea seems more than happy to ride the wave of popularity in the short-form medium. The singer-songwriter has also reposted several videos featuring her song to her own account, further bolstering their shares and likes.

Cop goes viral on TikTok for delivering food after arresting DoorDash driver

A police offer has gone viral on TikTok for doing some work on the side, delivering food that was meant to be handled by a DoorDash driver that was arrested before reaching their destination.

TikTok has become the go-to place to access hilarious, trendy, and emotional videos, scrolling through the ‘For You’ page, with the app’s algorithm recommending videos like ones you regularly enjoy.

Some of those videos are expected, while others thrown in will likely surprise you from time to time. Surprises add excitement to the mix, much like the surprise in the clip we’re sharing with you today.

In a recent viral video, a cop delivered DoorDash to a woman in an unlikely set of circumstances. As the officer rang the doorbell and waited for someone to answer, he had a smile on his face. When a woman came to the door, he laughed as she peered out and saw him holding fast food instead of her expected DoorDash driver.

Likely a little alarmed, she opened the door and began laughing as the police officer told her that he had decided to finish the dash for the now-arrested driver to ensure that she got her meal.

The pair continue laughing as she accepts the food and thanks the officer for getting it to her. It’s a hilarious video but also a sweet reminder that sometimes going the extra mile for someone is the kind of thing that can make someone’s day.

What is CleanTok? Deep cleaning TikTok trend explained

CleanTok - TikTok trend

We are coming to find that there are many corners to TikTok.

Horror fans can find a spooky and surreal home for themselves on HorrorTok, anime fans have plenty of family over on AnimeTok, and even witches can enjoy some like-minded content from their brethren on WitchTok.

TikTok has a place for any interest, including the odd and off-kilter ones. With all of its strangest and most bizzare corners considered, CleanTok — one of TikTok’s most popular ongoing trends — really doesn’t seem odd at all. It’s surprisingly comforting to watch a filthy space transform into something immaculate and scrubbed, and the creators in this unique TikTok arena are being thoroughly productive with their time. It’s nice to see.

Some people might find it immensely strange to enjoy watching another person clean, however, which is an entirely valid perspective. After all, if you want to see something tidied up, you probably have a mess of your own to tackle. You can easily live CleanTok in your everyday life, but isn’t that the joy of social media? To immerse ourselves in something, anything, just because we can?

Regardless of your precise thoughts on CleanTok, it is one of TikTok’s most popular and enduring trends. Videos on CleanTok take a lot of forms, from tidying simple messes to tackling utterly massive — and disgusting — projects.

There is a big ASMR draw to CleanTok as well, as creators silently scrub their way through whatever project they’ve chosen for the day. The sounds of cleaning solutions fizzing, lids twisting on, and brushes scraping along tile have become the tag’s official soundtrack, perfectly suited to the trend’s slightly obsessive but thoroughly satisfying vibe.

Some of the TikToks posted to the CleanTok tag are simple and straightforward, showing as people clean out their fridge or spiff up a workspace. They are appealing; pure, and uncomplicated in their presentation. Many are accompanied by music, while others lean into the trend’s ASMR ambiance.

Others are far more personal or heartfelt. People flock to watch user @headstonecleaner peruse graveyards for their filthiest headstones, only to leave them glistening and pristine in her wake.

People within specific cleaning professions also get to showcase their skills via the tag, providing an unexpected window into some very interesting jobs. It’s surprisingly fun to watch everyone from a pro cleaner to a pool boy showcase their skills.

Yep, those tiles are supposed to be blue.

You can also learn a lot from the videos posted to CleanTok. New solutions to your current grimy problem are sprinkled throughout videos posted with the tag, as are unique cleaning combos, stellar products, and pretty much anything else you can think of. You can even learn the best way to fold your clothes.

Or learn some useful new cleaning hacks.

There’s something for almost anyone on CleanTok, so long as you’re willing to plunge down the rabbit hole. Beware, however, this corner of TikTok is not for those with weak stomachs.

What happened to cosplay model Belle Delphine?

via Twitter @bunnydelphine

Whatever happened to Belle Delphine? She maintained internet sensation status for years after bursting onto the scene with help from her YouTube channel and other social media accounts. In recent months, however, she’s all but vanished, and many of her fans don’t know where she disappeared to. Here’s what to know about the life and career of Delphine, as well as what she’s up to today.

Who exactly is Belle Delphine?

Cosplay modeling was Delphine’s recipe for success. She enticed her followers with her innocent-looking faces and provocative costumes all at once. Her erotic poses and flirty persona prompted millions of people to swarm her accounts, starting all the way back in 2018. She used the influence of popular memes and trends in order to stay current with everything going on in the world.

The bathwater drama

Somewhere in the middle of 2019, Delphine created a satirical Pornhub account to troll her fans. She started selling what she called “gamer girl bathwater” through the online store. The bathwater was bottled up, labeled with a cute sticker, and allegedly created from water she actually lounged inside of. The national discussion about her gamer girl bathwater spread like wildfire, and soon after, Instagram deleted her entire account. They stated that her account was being removed due to community guideline violations. The fact that Instagram got rid of her profile caused fans to wonder if the deletion was connected to her gamer girl bathwater sales.

Is Belle Delphine still on Instagram?

Since Instagram isn’t a huge fan of Delphine’s unique formula, it’s no longer possible to keep up with her there. There are, however, plenty of fan accounts filled with pictures of Delphine from the last few years, but none of the fan accounts on Instagram actually belong to her. The most-followed Delphine fan account on Instagram currently has over 736,000 followers, but its most recent post was uploaded in February of 2021. That’s almost a year without fresh content, even on her fan accounts.

Belle Delphine on OnlyFans

If you want to keep up with Delphine, your best bet would be subscribing to her OnlyFans account. On OnlyFans, she’s been seen there as recently as Dec. 22, 2021. Her bio on the account introduces her as “Belle” and welcomes fans to “my lewd (18+), cute, and weird lil’ world… this is where you’ll find 4000+ NSFW photos and 600 videos (including my porn) straight away, that won’t be found anywhere else! I am so excited to share this silly, vulnerable, and magical journey with you.“

It costs $35 per month to subscribe to Delphine’s OnlyFans. Based on the teaser image at the top of her profile, many fans will find the price well worth it, as it seems she’s truly baring it all.

What was Belle Delphine‘s childhood like?

Delphine was born in Oct. 1999, making her 22 years old this year. Her mother gave birth to her in South Africa and she grew up in Cape Town with devout Christian parents.

When her parents split up, Delphine moved with her mother to England, where they settled down in Lymington, Hampshire. As a youngster, Delphine loved watching YouTube personas and parody videos, all of which likely inspired her to develop her online persona. She attended Priestland School until the age of 14, when she chose to drop out after dealing with cruel cyberbullies online. Her classmates poked fun at her based on the dark humor jokes she posted on the internet, and the torment caused her to feel totally isolated on campus.

Delphine ultimately had to be treated for depression due to the circumstances she was facing at school. Before taking on her cosplay-loving, super flirty online persona, Delphine made ends meet working as a barista, babysitter, and waitress. 

Is Belle Delphine still on YouTube?

We know Instagram wasn’t necessarily happy with Delphine’s online behavior, but is she still an avid user on YouTube? She launched her YouTube account in 2016 with a simple makeup tutorial. Most of her old content no longer exists on her channel. In fact, very few videos remain on her YouTube page, which, as of now, only contains three short ones, the most recent of which was posted 10 months ago.

One of the videos is an announcement to her fans letting everyone know that she is “back” on the internet. The next is an announcement to her fans that she would soon begin posting true pornography to her OnlyFans account. The video includes footage of her twerking on a bed while wearing fishnet stockings, kissing another girl, and trying on outfits comparable to lingerie. In the third video, she gives a tour of her sex toy collection, which is filled with whips, shackles, paddles, and more. She currently has over 2.09 million followers on her YouTube channel.

Is Belle Delphine still on Twitter?

Delphine is still on Twitter, but hasn’t been active in a very long time. Her last tweet went up in February of 2021. She has over 1.5 million followers on the social media app, where she playfully reveals, via her bio, that she likes to pretend to be a cat. A lot of the content posted to her Twitter account features her wearing different colored wigs, varying from pink to blue to green. In very rare instances, you may even catch a glimpse of her naturally dark hair.

Is Belle Delphine still on TikTok?

Unfortunately for TikTokers who hope to see Delphine on the popular video sharing app, she was banned from TikTok sometime in 2020. The reasons for her account’s removal are unknown, but it’s most likely because she violated one of the community guidelines. TikTok is supposed to be a kid-friendly app, and since a lot of her content isn’t considered kid-friendly, it makes sense that she is no longer allowed on the platform.

Watch: 30-piece orchestra plays ‘Kyle’s Mom’ from ‘South Park’

x


YouTube channel South Park Studios recently uploaded an orchestral rendition of “Kyle’s Mom” — the offensive and derogatory song that Eric Cartman sings about the animated show’s polarizing Sheila Broflowski. In the 45-second-long video snippet shared online, a 30-piece orchestra performs “Kyle’s Mom” with immaculate orchestration. The performance is certain to get the nostalgia feels resurfacing, especially for ’90s kids.

South Park debuted on August 13, 1997, and the American sitcom has broadcast 311 episodes (including television films) in its long run — with more to come next season. From its start, South Park gained notoriety for its profanity and dark, surreal humor.

“Kyle’s Mom” was first heard in season 1, episode 9, titled for an infamous character in the series: Mr. Hankey, The Christmas Poo. Additionally, the song appeared in the 1999 feature film, South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut.

In the Mr. Hankey, the Christmas Poo episode, Eric Cartman was upset with Kyle’s mom for ruining Christmas, and the song’s introduction underscored that sentiment.

In South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut, Cartman was angry that Sheila had started a war against Canada and was planning to have mediocre Canadian comedians Terrance and Phillip executed. This time, the song contained much more bad language, including the use of the word “fuck,” and a verse of the song being sung by children from around the world in different languages.

Interestingly, the original song uses the word “bitch” 56 times, not counting the French, Swahili, Dutch, or Chinese portions of the song, and only lasts approximately 71 seconds.

South Park released two video games, South Park: The Stick of Truth and South Park: The Fractured But Whole, and an instrumental version of the song plays when fighting Sheila in South Park: The Fractured But Whole.

In the meantime, prepare for the 25th season of South Park, premiering Feb. 2 on Comedy Central, and expect show creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker to add to their lore.

Self-love advocate Ariella Nyssa reveals how easily bodies are edited on TikTok

Twenty-five-year-old model and positive body image advocate Ariella Nyssa has gone viral on TikTok with a video showing how easily bodies can be manipulated and doctored on the platform. According to news.com.au, the Sydney native was “in shock” with just how much she was able to alter her appearance on the app.

Nyssa is an established social media influencer who boasts over 712,000 followers on Instagram, and over one million followers on TikTok. Her primary source of income is from her media accounts.

The clip shows Nyssa in a green and blue bikini showing off her manipulated forum before revealing her actual and curvier figure. “I actually had no idea it was as easy as going on an app and editing your body like that,” said the media influencer, “I know people edit their bodies in photos and it’s easy, but I had no idea that you could just click a button and it could change your whole body in a video.”

Nyssa’s video is part of an overall TikTok trend started by user @coraliekarczewski aiming to show users exactly how easy it is for others to edit their bodies into almost unattainable physiques.

Nyssa’s post has gained well over a million views but, in a twist of irony, the positive body image model has received a number of requests to know exactly what app she had used to produce the effect in the first part of the video.

“What’s the app? Don’t gatekeep,” said one commenter. “I don’t love myself, so sis what’s the name of the app?” posted another.

”It’s kind of sad to read it,” Nyssa said. “I tried to reply to a few and be like, ‘You don’t need it,’ but unfortunately people just don’t love themselves enough, and that is why I do post what I post and I want people to know that you can look and feel beautiful without having to edit and smooth or contort your body in certain ways.”

That said, the influencer made it clear that she in no way wanted to shame those on the platform that do use third-party apps or filters to alter their appearance. Provided that is that they are “honest and open” about the effects.

“I’m all for you do you, if you want to edit your features or if that makes you feel better about yourself, go for it,” she said. “But you need to tell people that you’re doing that, because that is what I think is the detrimental thing … especially young girls as they have no idea, they just think that’s what you look like all the time and they start comparing themselves.”

Mila Kunis and Demi Moore poke fun at their similar taste in husbands in new commercial

remix by Keane Eacobellis

Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher have been a hot topic since the former co-stars of That ’70s Show got together in real life. But before that reunion, Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher were one of the most talked-about couples.

Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore were married for eight years in the early 2000s. While some celebrities let bad blood overtake their relationship, the actors are friendly enough now to unite for a paycheck. Moore and Kunis wink at their history in a new commercial for AT&T.

Moore must have gotten it out of her system publishing her autobiography, which paints an unflattering portrait of Kutcher.

In the commercial, the two both believe they have been named “Most Admired Alum” at a school reunion. Another funny thing to note is that the two “went to the same high school” in the ad. There is a twenty-one-year age difference between the two, similar to the fifteen-year age difference between Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore, which was another hot topic when the two married.

There may be a mere five years between Mila and Ashton, but when she auditioned for her role as Jackie in That ’70s Show, she was only 14. She was cast as Ashton’s on-screen girlfriend because she lied about her age. Her character was supposed to be 18. Mila told directors that she would be 18, she just didn’t say when.

Thankfully, it all worked out, and twenty-four years later, the two seem to be happily married.

What is the ‘Strawberry Question’ prank that’s baffling TikTok users?

The Strawberry Question - TikTok

The women of TikTok are using a viral new quiz to test their boyfriends’ loyalty.

The “Strawberry Question,” as it’s being called online, is providing heaps of female TikTokers with the perfect opportunity to prank their boyfriends. There seems to be absolutely no way to get the exceedingly simple question right, which is a big part of the prank. Women across the app are seizing the chance to stump their boyfriends, flooding the app with hundreds of entries into the “Stawberry Question” TikTok trend.

The prank itself is pretty straightforward. Women ask their beaus a series of scripted questions, beginning with, “If you were walking past a strawberry field, would you take a strawberry and eat it if you were really hungry?”

Their partners’ responses to this question are extremely important. It’s exceedingly difficult to find a single dude who would refuse a fresh, handy strawberry while famished, as it turns out, which means that nearly every man responds to this question with some version of the word “Yes.”

In response to this, the tester pushes their partner a bit further, asking “How many” strawberries they would claim. The number here doesn’t matter quite as much and tends to vary widely. Some men are willing to relieve some poor farmer of only one or two of their hard-earned strawberries, while others are entirely prepared to walk away with handfuls of fresh, technically-not-free fruit. Regardless of the quantity of strawberries claimed, however, the prankster’s response is always the same.

The next portion of the prank poses a hypothetical physical challenge, wondering, “If there was a fence, would you jump it?” Many men say they would, particularly if they were “really hungry,” and maintain that they would claim at least one or two strawberries to satiate their hunger.

At this point, the true purpose behind the prank is revealed, as women proclaim that their partners are obvious cheaters. The strawberries are an allegory for other women, see, and by admitting that they’re willing to claim a few strawberries, the men are exposing themselves as future cheaters.

The trend is clearly a joke, one that heaps of women have been delighted to join in on. Many of the duped men seem amused by the end as well, though they all seem to wonder how, exactly, they managed to find themselves in trouble — jesting or otherwise — after answering a simple question.

Even a reversal in the face of a fence isn’t enough to save these poor suckers. Those who say they would claim a strawberry if it was easy, but balk at the mention of a fence, are still cheaters, according to the Strawberry Question. They just aren’t as willing to cheat if it’s going to be hard. Those strawberries still tempt, you see, and they did consider them before realizing that a fence stood between them.

In some videos taking part in the trend, another question is tacked onto the end. Another query, wondering “What if the farmer caught you,” occasionally follows the fence question and seems to place the prankster in the farmer’s shoes. So those men who are entirely willing to not only jump the fence for their strawberries but also explain themselves to the farmer are not only cheaters, but also willing to simply tell their partners that they did it because they were hungry.

Somehow, a small portion of viewers didn’t get the joke upon watching Strawberry Question videos. They lashed out at the women participating, empathizing with the “poor” men on the other side of the prank. Some commenters proclaimed that “this is why men stay single” and labeled the women as “crazy” and “dramatic.”

The majority of people were in on the joke, however, and shared their amusement in the comment sections of the trend’s many participating videos. Some even promised to try it out with their own partners.

While many men were simply confused by the end of their strawberry-flavored trial, a few punked their girlfriends in return. One man had a flawless response to his girlfriend’s accusation of cheating, sending back a video of him enjoying a strawberry that he snagged because he “passed a strawberry field” while hungry.

This is exactly the energy a prank like this deserves.

Is your pet the next animal movie star like this epic cat?

Have you ever wondered what it would be like if your pet was a movie star? Well, one guy decided to make that dream a reality by green screening his cat into iconic scenes from famous movies.

The Youtube channel OwlKitty features an adorable, adopted cat called Lizzy who can be seen starring in major films such as The Shining, Jurassic Park, and Jaws. What started as a bit of fun has now turned into a massive following of 1.6 million subscribers on YouTube. Take a look at some of the videos below.

OwlKitty was adopted from a pet shelter back in 2017 and now that she has become so successful her owners have begun using the platform to support and promote the message “adopt, don’t shop.”

The OwlKitty channel also posts behind-the-scenes footage of how the videos are made, and many viewers are shocked to find out just how little is actually needed in order to produce the content. In one video OwlKitty’s owners explain how basic it really is.

“Our whole operation it’s very small scale, it’s very homemade. It’s just us here in our apartment with a green screen. It’s just a green sheet that we hang up.”

The owner of OwlKitty has also stated that her being really cute definitely helps with the success of the channel so if you think your pet is just as adorable then it might be time to try your hand at editing your pet into your favorite films.

TikTok users ask ‘Who are my parents?’ and now you can, too

A big part of TikToks appeal is the vast array of effects users of the short-form video sharing platform can use to transform their self-filmed uploads into virtual memes with just a few swipes and clicks. Past effects trends have made users invisible, look like dogs, and even switch faces with another user. The latest trend asks, “Who are my parents?” But don’t worry, the app isn’t asking anyone to take a paternity suit.

The “Who are my parents?” effect, aka “Please adopt me,” generates the names of two famous people, supposedly based on how the person using it looks, that would be the most likely pair of celebrities to be their “parents.” Although the effect appears to be completely random, some users have found themselves going viral based on just how much they resemble the possible offspring of the fictional pairing.

If you’d love to find out who your fictional celeb parents are, good news! According to Dexerto.com, the effect, created by digital artist and TikTok user Allan Gregorio, is already built into the existing TikTok software so you can start using it immediately without having to download a third-party app, although it might take you several tries before you find what celeb couple you like the best.

To use the effect, follow the steps below:

  1. Launch TikTok.
  2. Go to the ‘Discover’ tab.
  3. In the search bar at the top, type ‘Please adopt me,’ and search.
  4. Tap the pink camera button to open the camera.
  5. Press the record button, cross your fingers and wait for your result.

Good luck! Maybe you’ll get Tom Holland and Zedaya on your first try!
