The social media platform is a joke! Today while I was scrolling through Tiktok I came across a post that the creator titled How to escape if you were buried alive

The title got my attention so I was curious to know the solution, I found all the steps hilarious, the first step was using a cloth to cover your mouth, the second step was to break the wood and that was where I figured the creator was outta his mind cos how is it possible to break a coffin with your hand! It is not just a coffin but a coffin with sand on it, making it 5 times stronger...
To cut the gist short, the last step was to dig your way to the top, I guess in his country they do not cement the grave cos here in Nigeria, the grave is concrete so no matter how you dig, no way you can dig the concrete but that is even if it is possible to dig.
Being Buried alive is one of the worst things that can happen to someone, you would be helpless and you might even die of suffocation immediately after you woke up to the darkness around you knowing you are 6ft down! there is no air to breathe in, so it is actually a horrible way to die. I just hope some gullible people do not believe the creator that one can escape if buried alive...
The same way we have cruise catchers, jokers, and other funny people on social media is the same way we have people who say the truth in the name of catching a cruise ...So I do not agree with the quote that says do not judge me by what I post
I will over judge you!
The fact that you post about it means you think about it, you have it in your mind, so social media just gives power to people who do not have the confidence to do those things offline.

I do not think it sounds good to mandate dropping social media handles to employers because that is a violation of privacy but I also think if it is mandated, the level of immorality in the world would reduce... Some people won't act like they do not have family on social media anymore once their job is at stake... People just post what they like without the fear of the Audience... Imagine a 17-year-old girl posting a twerking video with a sexy caption! others even younger than her do the same, that is how bad it has gotten, so imagine what the older ones would be doing.
They just do not care because it doesn't affect them in any way, but once it is mandated at your place of work or school to drop your identity on social media so they can check and know what you have been up to and the kind of life you are living, the fear of missing out would make everyone to compose themselves and not act like orphans online.
