      falls into the same category as useless “nobody:”

        I’m so glad that meme format died.

        Also that fucking distorted bubble text sent me into a frothing seizure.

        I can’t even imagine what kinds of shit I’m missing on TikTok

        Maybe but then the photo doesn’t really match the text

        Of course. If someone said “POV: a truck driver” you’d expect a scene looking out from the driver’s seat of a truck.

        In this photo what does it mean? Clearly it’s not her point of view. Her mother’s? But that’s not what the text implies.

        For some reason on TikTok especially people just slap “POV:” on absolutely everything.

        Literally nothing about this meme would change if they left off POV. It’s utterly meaningless when used like this.
