So, you’ve landed yourself in quarantine. You’ve taken an L on those Six tickets, you’ve pulled out the Catan instructions, and you’re ready to settle in and catch up on the three-hour films that have been congesting your Netflix queue for years.
Lol.
No you’re not. You’re going to pull out your phone and open TikTok and get lost in the endless scroll for hours, maybe days on end. Maybe you’ll try to teach yourself how to do the Renegade if you’re feeling up for it, or do the “walk a mile in these Louboutins†meme where you put oven mitts on your feet and pretend like they’re designer because, look, it gets boring when you’re cooped up at home. TikTok is an especially interesting platform to explore during corona time, because all of those students who have been sent home from classes and evicted from campuses across the country have much more time than usual to mess around at home in front of their phones and occasionally make something *cough cough* viral. Maybe we can’t go to any comedy shows for the time being, but social distancing doesn’t have to mean social-media distancing. Here are some of the spiciest memes by TikTok quaranteens we’ve found.
