TikTok's Flip the Switch Challenge Is the Best Thing on the Internet
We could all probably use a little levity right now. Enter: TikTok.
The latest trend on the video-sharing platform is the flip the switch challenge. It’s pretty simple: You and at least one other person/pet/inanimate object with charisma record yourselves dancing (or maybe just existing) in front of a mirror to the first 10 or so seconds of Drake’s “Nonstop,” right up until he sings, “I just flipped the switch.” After that line, someone literally flips the light switch, and when it’s turned back on the people/dogs/objects in the video have assumed each other’s positions/clothes.

And before you protest — no, it’s not just for the youths. Former presidential hopefuls and the comedians who impersonate them do it, too!
