I ran two identical posts on TikTok, one with trending audio and one without, and the audio one got 10x the views in 24 hours.

Wait wait wait, three views? For real? I would have been so mad if I spent time picking out the perfect trending audio and my video just flopped like that. Honestly the whole system feels rigged sometimes. You can do everything right and still get nothing. Makes me wonder if TikTok is just picking random favorites now instead of actually rewarding good content.

Learned a trick for fixing cold joints from an old timer in Waco

I mean is a cold joint really that big a deal on a driveway anyway? Seems like people make way too big a deal out of a little line in the concrete.

Watched a local drive-thru go from 10 minute waits to 45 in about 8 months

Pure chaos" is right, I used to roll my eyes at people complaining about drive-thru times but after seeing what happened to my local Wendy's I get it now. @wilson.olivia you said it, seems like this is hitting everywhere. My spot went from 5 minutes to 30 in a few months, no matter what time of day you go.

Always thought the soak method for lens fungus was the only way until a retired guy set me straight

Oh man, is that the whole session or just what you had to spend to get the keeper? I shot a wedding once with that exact lens and yeah, the battery died after about three and a half hours of constant use.

Saw a guy in Kansas City run a brisket flat through a meat slicer

A meat slicer for brisket? That's like using a laser level to hang a picture frame. Works great but feels wrong. Hand slicing is more about the ritual than the result, especially when you're feeding a crowd. Let the man slice his brisket however he wants, it's not like he's committing a crime against barbecue.
