In the world of tiktok, I follow Chris valenti. He does allot of military history with dramatic flair.

Like any algorithm, the more you watch or engage with the garbage, the more it will feed to you. If you search for educational things, you'll see more of them. Same with videogames, music, and a wonderful place called book-tok. Which people talk about the books they love. It's a big reason that Barnes & Nobel is packed with millennials right now.

Myself, I've gotten into reading the classics that I've missed through life. 1984, great Gatsby, catcher in the rye, starship troopers. They're usually short but a good exercise in realizing that everyone quotes then, but nobody's read them or understood them...

Man Cujo. Like you I read King in my childhood my mother thinking “at least he’s reading”. I agree Cujo wasn’t the scariest but in hindsight it was the most affecting between the family themes being very real but also any time a big dog barked at me a part of me thought “does he have rabies”. I’m so lucky I didn’t grow up fearing dogs.

As far as the questions I do not understand tik tok at all.

I’ve been told Dragons Dogma is good but also horny.
