TikToker sparks outrage for telling people to 'get rid of their fat friends'
A TikTok user has caused a stir online for urging followers to ditch their "fat friends" if they want to be skinny. In a recent clip circulating across the platform, Karmalita speaks about the "law of proximity," a belief that falls under social psychology in which you become who you're surrounded by. The TikToker went on to tell viewers to get rid of their "ugly friends" if they want to be pretty. "You shouldn't be friends with people based on their levels of attractiveness," she said, adding that it's more about "relatability". Karmalita continued: "How the hell are you going to relate to the girl that's crying in the corner complaining about her looks when you're sitting here looking like a snack?"

Thousands of fellow TikTokers flocked to the clip, with one writing: "Hang out with friends who genuinely care about you, make you feel good, ppl who help u grow, make you laugh, friends who don’t judge." Another added: "Just be friends with people with good vibes that help you grow mentally. Appearance is temporary, but true love and friendship last forever." Meanwhile, a third hit back: "I'd like to hope friendships go a lot deeper than looks. we relate on life, career etc however there's truth to this in that you become who you're with."

Man appears to find forgotten shopping mall after descending huge secret staircase
A man found what appeared to be an abandoned shopping mall after descending a secret, hidden staircase. The eerie footage of the discovery was shared by the TikTok account @just.backrooms1 and has been viewed almost 12 million times in just a few days. At the start of the 3-and-a-half-minute clip, a person could be seen filming what appeared to be a small hole in the ground that looked as though it had been previously covered in concrete. As they placed the camera inside the hole, it revealed a long concrete staircase lined with lights that were still operating. The person filming said: “What I find really weird is that all the lights are on, so that tells me that there’s still something active here.” They proceeded to descend the long staircase and, at the bottom, found themselves faced with a single wooden door.

One person commented: “There is no way that is real... it's so scary.” Another wrote: “What was this or is this used for? My gut says it’s not for anything good!” It also inspired some hilarious comparisons, as someone said: “Going to the toilet in Wetherspoons.” One TikToker said: “Looks like the mall in PS1 Tony Hawk.” Have your say in our news democracy.
