Interesting. Have you gotten any great ones?


I really like Tini's channel She was actually on next level chef with Gordon Ramsey. I have made several of recipes and so far liked everything. I made her mac and cheese one this Christmas and it was a big hit with the fam. I linked it for any who is curious.

No but I probably spend too much time on IG and half the stuff on there is reposted TikToks anyway.

I joined, got addicted during covid, then quit. And I’ve stayed off. The dopamine slot machine was too much for my brain.

You know you can get recipes elsewhere? Why would you get them on TikTok?

I had TikTok on my phone, and then deleted it within 2 weeks. It was the most addictive time suck I've ever experienced and I couldn't put it down. So I got rid of it.

That's very concerning. Can you disable/delete it?

No, it's a national security risk.

And it is completely designed to make our youth beholden to it. In China, there are time daily time limits for youth and content is educational. Wake up, people!

I have no real social media accounts. Never joined Facebook. I do have an Instagram account that I use to view but have never posted. I'm a TikTok hold out.
