This video of a small child anxiously (and then angrily) responding “I’m just a baby!” to her mom’s instructions is…how shall I say…me. I know it’s not cute when adult women self-infantilize, but listen, if the Supreme Court is going to treat me like an infant incapable of making medical decisions for myself, I’m going to act like one. Yes, I somehow made this about Roe v. Wade. No, I’m not sorry.
Corn Kid remix
God, I love second-grader Tariq whose adorable enthusiasm for corn went viral in remix form on TikTok and even earned him a New York Times profile this year on the sheer basis of his adorableness. “I can’t imagine a more beautiful thing,” he says of corn, and frankly, I can’t imagine anything more beautiful than the TikTok itself. (The profile describes Tariq’s video exploding “like kernels in a pot of hot oil. It was the perfect recipe for virality: one part cute kid plus one part delicious food, with a healthy sprinkling of catchy sound bites, perfect for interpolating.”)
Lizzo the choreo instructor
This singer is justifiably sick of seeing you dance and clap to “About Damn Time” wrong, and she’s here to fix you and your erring ways. In May, Rolling Stone‘s Brittany Spanos credited Lizzo’s “About Damn Time” instructions with bringing the TikTok dance back, and it certainly sparked millions of imitations worldwide.
High school musical reveal
Why am I literally crying at these teens being so excited about their teacher revealing the name of their yearly musical? Arts education forever! The choir teacher, Miles Finn, who is based in Iowa, told Good Morning America, “”I decided to throw a little bait and switch in there and have the musical that we were doing … actually not up on the board, [which] really threw them for a loop.” Okay, well, it worked on me too, and I’m almost thirty, so…
Helping Tom get back on his feet
This viral TikTok of a formerly unhoused man finding work he genuinely likes after $20,000 was raised on his behalf by a friend is a touching example of community care. This genre of TikTok has been popularized by creator Isaiah Garza, a formerly unhoused youth from a Mexican immigrant family who has risen to fame in recent years for his advocacy for the unhoused and for performing “random acts of kindness—like giving a stranger a new phone, or taking a 97-year-old World War II veteran to Disney.”
Lava vs. ice
You’ll never guess who wins this epic showdown, but I will give you the clue that ice is surprisingly hard to defeat. (If I may be a nerd for a moment: when magma or lava cools down enough, it solidifies, or “freezes,” to form igneous rock. One difference between water freezing and magma freezing is that water freezes at 0°C and magma and lava freeze at between 700°C and 1,250°C. Did I Google all of this from what appears to be a children’s geology textbook? Perhaps.)
