A controversial moment has gone absolutely viral this week.
And it has the internet feeling hysterical …
“This is honestly amazing,” one wrote.
Another added: “U go grrl!! Very important to know your value!”
A third added: “Can’t believe that was the last straw.”
But not everyone agrees: “Crazy bint, good luck with being a spinster!” laughed another.
A thread has gone viral with a strange story of the end of a marriage …
Now, we all love a viral moment.
It’s pretty unlikely that you’ll see anyone who doesn’t enjoy viral social media content.
And it’s not just the kids.
The majority of us adults are too, with us posting every inch of our lives on these apps and communicating with others through them solely.
It’s not just about funny videos though.
People can actually earn a living through social media, such as selling things on Instagram or starting a business through Twitter.
What is TikTok?
Basically, it is an iOS and Android app made for creating and sharing short lip-sync, comedy, and talent videos.
It went viral pretty quick…
It was the world’s fourth most downloaded app in 2018, beating Instagram and Snapchat – which is a pretty big achievement!
It reminds many people of Vine.
Who remembers Vine? Launched in 2012, Vine was a short-form video hosting service that allowed users to share 6-second-long looping video clips.
And TikTok videos are similarly weird.
But it has to be said, the majority of them are rather entertaining.
Animals and TikTok are the best combination.
More and more people jumped on board the TikTok bandwagon and started getting their beloved pets involved.
Some are just plain weird…
It’s a mystery as to what goes through people’s heads when certain types of TikTok videos are made…
And of course, who could forget the pranks on Tiktok…
People love to film themselves pranking others and share it online.
However, it’s not just TikTok that brings viral content to the world.
In the digital age, the power of the internet has given rise to a new cultural phenomenon – the viral moment.
Whether it’s a funny video, an emotional story, or a powerful message, these moments have the ability to capture the attention of millions across the globe, transcending borders, languages, and cultures.
At the heart of every viral moment lies remarkable content. It could be something humorous, heartwarming, shocking, or awe-inspiring.
Videos, images, memes, tweets, and challenges are some of the most common forms of viral content. The brevity of these formats often makes them easily shareable across various social media platforms.
Emotions also play a pivotal role in the spread of viral moments. Content that elicits strong emotions, such as laughter, sadness, anger, or inspiration, is more likely to be shared.
When users resonate with a particular emotion, they tend to express it by forwarding the content to their friends, family, and followers, effectively creating a chain reaction.
Social media platforms act as a catalyst for the propagation of viral moments. The interconnectedness of these platforms allows content to spread rapidly.
Algorithms employed by platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram further amplify content by prioritizing highly engaging posts, ensuring they reach a wider audience.
Viral moments are also often a reflection of the current cultural zeitgeist.
Memes and content that references trending topics, current events, or pop culture have a higher chance of going viral.
People enjoy sharing content that feels relevant and relatable to their lives, creating a sense of community around shared experiences.
Timing is everything when it comes to viral moments. An event or content may not become viral if it’s shared too early or too late.
Often, a perfect combination of timing and synchronicity results in the explosion of a viral moment. It can be influenced by current events, trends, or simply being in the right place at the right time.
Viral moments represent the dynamic nature of the internet and its ability to connect people on a global scale.
As we continue to navigate the ever-changing landscape of the internet, viral moments will undoubtedly remain an integral part of our online culture, showcasing the immense power of human connectivity in the digital age.
But this week, it’s a marriage story that’s gone viral.
“My phone died right as I was texting my mom about something rather important so my husband let me use his. As I was typing, a banner popped up with a text from one of his friends to their group chat, saying to the effect of ‘hey (Husband), do you and ST still want to (Halloween plan we’d talked about)?'” an anonymous wife wrote on Reddit.
“I showed him the chat and asked what it stood for,” she continued.
“He looked suddenly really flustered. He grabbed his phone back and said ‘oh uhh it’s nothing, just a nickname.’ Okay? Well what’s it stand for? He literally wouldn’t tell me…he just kept saying ‘don’t worry about it.'”
He then told her that it stood for “super terrific.”
She went on: “I ended up getting a text from one of my husband’s female friends in his group chat, the day after I posted here. Turned out that right after I asked him about the nickname, he told all of them I’d seen it and to stop calling me that.”
And it turned out, the nickname meant “sausage t*ts.”
She went on: “I don’t even know how or why it started. I cannot fathom the thought that my husband could have described my boobs in detail to all his friends. And then they thought it sounded hilarious enough to make a nickname out of?”
“I’m trying to figure out if my need for space is temporary or permanent. If it’s permanent, then I’ll be pursuing divorce,” she added.
“I never could have imagined he’d view me like this behind his back. It’s like if he was to gain weight and I encouraged all my friends to start calling him fata** or beer belly behind his back. What other possible reason to do that than contempt? I said this but he insists it doesn’t have any deeper meaning and is just bad humor. The issue I’m realizing is now there will always be a fear in my mind that he’s saying nasty things about me to who knows who.”
Whose side are you on?
