Maybe because I use tiktok.com? I currently see:

1. bun in a watermelon swing.

2. dogs in headscarves listening to something bollywood-like

3. a train (with unusual horn, or maybe that's just a train-horn sounding soundtrack)

4. someone playing with a horizontally wiping sampler

5. someone pretending to demonstrate internet connectivity in different countries. (if true, albania is worse than turkey?)

of which the only indecency I can think of is "representational art" and I guess people who care about that surf with lynx.

At a stretch, the best I can do is view #1 and think "My anaconda don't want none / Unless you've got buns, hun." and even that fails due to the singular, not plural, bun.

Incidentally, was it from HN that I learned about the very small-audience potential nightclub use of the International Code of Signals?

Foxtrot: I am disabled; communicate with me. (aka The Sorority Mating Call, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24737386 )

Quebec: My vessel is healthy

Tango: I am engaged in pair trawling

One might even imagine conversations, along the lines of Wuthering Heights by semaphore:

beginning of the evening

A) Yankee, Zulu, Kilo: I am dragging my anchor. I require a tug. I wish to communicate with you.

B) November, Xray: Negative. Stop carrying out your intentions and watch for my signals.

end of the evening

B) Papa: All hands report on board. Putting out to sea.

A) Charlie: Affirmative.

at B's apartment

B) Mike Alfa Bravo: I request you to make rendezvous in position indicated.

A) Alfa: Diver down.

B) Golf: I require a pilot.

A) Charlie: Affirmative.

B) Hotel, Sierra: I have a pilot on board. I am operating astern propulsion.

after the walk of shame

A) India Tango, Alfa November: I am on fire. I need a doctor.
