    1. Get an MMA kick pad or build one yourself, attach it to a horizontal bar.
    2. Spend the next 3-4 months practicing kicking it precisely in the center as hard as you can. Do flutter kicks and squats as well to add strength.
    3. Wear steel-toe boots/pointy high heels at all times when the Cats in the Hats are afoot.
    4. When chased, face the attacker, assume kicking stance from your training, await the assailant until their crotch is within optimal striking distance.
    5. Follow your training. Don’t kick the crotch, kick through it, as if you’re going to kick the inside of that cat’s top hat.
    6. Yell, “Ughh! That top hat is tight! Now run that shit, bi*ch! Ynawmean!!”

      Yep, that was my initial reaction. Creep Clowns, take 2. Why aren’t there TikTok trends of doing meaningful work to help improve your community?

        I haven’t been on social media but before I left there were people organizing clean up days and regular events which I thought was cool. It was trending a bit then but not as much as the tide pods or what not.

        I also think it depends on whose algorithm. My husbands has a lot of successful adoption or conservation videos lol

        Def could use some more positive or wholesome viral trends though.

        That was my initial thought as well but then read that it was happening in British Colombia. If all mean Canada then say it. Don’t make me assume that there are kids going to be shot here in the U.S.

      Well, until one or more of them gets shot.

      It’s like every few years social media forgets that whimsical and fun things are the best way to ‘prank’ strangers and someone temporarily popularizes trying to terrify randos.

    Anything before or after “TikTok trend” is pretty much universally shit. What a wretched platform.

      Yeah no kidding or stabbed, not everyone has a “flight” response. But it was just a prank.

        Prank or not. Do this to people especially teenage girls and there’s a lot of people who won’t take it as a prank

    Okay, so it’s probably happened like two or three times. I’d hardly call that sweeping north america. That’s the equivalent of taking out a broom on a beach and sweeping once and then saying you’ve swept the entire beach.
