Tbh, my random tweet about my classroom's pet turtle went nuts last month

Honestly, I just posted a quick video of our class turtle, Shelly, trying to climb out of her tank. I used a trending sound from a movie and the caption 'the great escape attempt, day 7'. Woke up the next morning to 40k likes and my phone blowing up. I learned that pairing a simple, relatable moment with a popular audio clip is a huge part of the algorithm now. Has anyone else had a totally normal post blow up just because of the sound they used?

Remember that weird dancing pickle video?

That thing gave me nightmares for a week. I still can't look at pickles the same way.

Wow, I used to think the sound didn't matter much, but seeing stuff like this totally changed my mind.
