I dunno: this bad posture video is some BS. It seems to be teaching just a different bad posture. People might be liking it, and TikTok might not be discriminating against it (which at least is positive), but that is no indication that the content is of any quality.

Its a joke/meme.

On TikTok, you can see the original sound a video uses, and find all the videos that use that sound, including the original: https://www.tiktok.com/music/You-dont-have-a-double-chin-681...

This video illustrates the original intent of the joke: https://www.tiktok.com/@officialreggiecouz/video/68368175634...

With the fat people posting, the joke is that they actually do have 'double chin'.

It's making fun of a different video using it's audio. The original audio source is linked above the video. A feature i kind of love.
