TikTok is filled with lots of inside jokes and memes — including a trend where people comment 'story time' and 'crop' on popular videos. While apps like Facebook and Instagram remain the largest social media apps (and by a considerable margin), TikTok's crazy popularity is impossible to ignore. Between its growing user base, excellent For You algorithm, and robust filters/editing tools, it's safe to say that TikTok isn't going anywhere any time soon.

As with any popular social media platform, new trends, challenges, and memes constantly appear on TikTok. Some of them are self-explanatory. The Thanos snap trend, for example, sees TikTok creators making videos of things being snapped away from them. Other trends — like the brownie recipe one — are total headscratchers. Sometimes there's no rhyme or reason why something goes viral on TikTok, and that's part of what makes the app so engaging.

If you've spent any time recently looking at the comments on TikTok videos, you've probably noticed people repeatedly commenting 'story time' and 'crop' with no context. And it doesn't matter what video you're watching. It can be a TikTok of someone dancing, performing a comedy skit, showing off a Fortnite win, or anything else. More often than not, the comments section is filled with people saying 'story time' and 'crop' for no apparent reason.

While the meaning seems to have been lost, the 'story time' and 'crop' comments can be traced back to specific types of videos. The 'story time' comment first appeared on videos of people telling a story about a real (or made up) thing that happened to them.

Racing UPS Rumor: New Need for Speed Game Will Have 'Anime Elements'

There's been a lot of talking through the grapevine about the upcoming unannounced Need for Speed game, but hard, verified information is still pretty difficult to come by. Aside from the fact that it is being made, virtually everything else heard about this new NFS has been hearsay, though it does seem that Jeff Grubb might have a bit of insight into the game's development.
