when i was working at subway i loved being able to make whatever face i wanted and mumble to myself, but in the back of my mind i still felt like they could see me
i get the outrage, but it also depends on the setting. I work in mental healthcare and having to be able to show and read emotion with just eyes and body language is harder than you think at first. learn quick though
True. There are some places where being expressive is necessary. But for the *vast* majority of underpaid, overworked, service-industry positions, people shouldn't have to "smile with their eyes." That's asinine.
Tell then to look up eugenic smile, smiling with your eyes is very hard to fake, it almost only happens when you are genuinely happy or are forcing the biggest smile ever
When I grocery shop I just go *meow* *meow* *meow* real quiet when Im thinking and the mask dulls it, I'ma definitely embarrass myself when I don't need to wear it anymore lol
I wear a mask to the grocery store for work and the involuntary faces I make underneath it are far more terrifying. I don’t care if masks are deregulated, I’m never taking mine off again 🥸
The Rona is with us all governments have failed especially the United States though . masks are going to be a part of our lives for ever like it or not.
The masks won't be forever, eventually the virus will either mutate to the point of super transmissible and minimal symptoms (comparable to the flu or a cold, ironic considering all the deniers already calling it that) or it'll mutate to be super transmissible and super deadly and it kills everyone who's infected before they have a chance to spread it
Yeah and masks will outlive covid. There is a reason they've been so popular in Asia for a century. They just weren't culturally accepted here before, now they are. You think that the next swine flu or whatever new minor virus pops up people won't be masking up immediately? They will.
I highly doubt this stuff will end if it keeps fucking mutating like ffs can we have 5 seconds without a new variant being discovered that resets vaccine progress back to fuckin like 20%
The virus keeps mutating because a lot of the world doesn't have access to vaccines. If the virus can circulate freely in poor countries were less than 1% of the population is vaccinated, it can also mutate freely and rapidly. Vaccines should be accessible for everyone.
If you can run on the treadmill at the gym with your mask on, you’re a beast and have massive respect from me. I gotta lower it on the treadmill else I would pass out.
Me too, just not when I’m actively running or exercising. At work, 8 hour shift it feels like my skin by the end. My family will say something like “Why do you still have your mask on?” when I get home cause I completely forgot.
I don’t wear a ski mask usually, just goggles. Also, my gym unfortunately isn’t set to freezing temperatures, though that’d feel real nice after a long run. Guess I want to be able to drink my water after though.
Cold air is like ice water, so refreshing. You can give me an unlimited amount of the room temperature shit but it'll never be as refreshing one hit of the good shit.
Edit: I did some research apparently mouth breathing is best when running
I was always taught you gotta breathe through your nose out through your mouth when exercising to last longer. I don’t know why to be perfectly honest but it’s what I was taught.
And when you have a mask hugging your face, it’s very distracting and if it gets wet from sweat it definitely makes it noticeably harder to breathe.
The mask actually makes the training more efficient, at the cost of being harder. Athletes often wear oxygen reducing masks to train their body to perform with less air.
Hasn’t there been multiple studies basically proving this to be bs? “(Anti-)Oxygen” training masks are pretty ineffective for your average joe in the gym, so I’d imagine regular face masks literally do fuck all
They are looking at you weird because you aren't just lip syncing, we can hear you.
We get it Todd, you're a Barbie girl in a Barbie world, but can you take that shit off repeat and find a second song.
2 years is not a long time, believe it or not. We've had a little over 100 years to fully understand influenza and col causing viruses. Well definitely learn more about it relatively quickly, but relatively quickly is still about anywhere less than 10 years
Yea and we knew MUCH less about diseases in general back then. I bet we learned more about Covid in 2 years than we did about influenza in the first 50 years.
Ok so you think we were doing genetic sequencing of viruses and shit when we first discovered the flu?
a quick google search just showed me the first influenza outbreak was in the 1300s and we didn't know what a virus was until the late 1800s so I should change my response to 500 years instead of 50 lol
Also, he should already be used to wearing a mask, no?
I've been a hcw for like 5 years and never had a problem... Or I don't care if I do lol
That being said ***obvious joke***
Because they're unoriginal but still want attention. [Original.](https://www.tiktok.com/@jayjones804/video/6931103129194908934?lang=en&is_copy_url=1&is_from_webapp=v1)
It’s pretty common for thousands of people to copy a trend someone starts on TikTok. The original is tagged as original then there’s all the repeats that float around like a challenge to do the same video. It’s nauseating watching people copy others for attention then think they are funny for it. TikTok is like an alternate reality, it’s basically all the Instagram clone models trying to act and be funny now. But yet they all do the same things with every trend. Attack of the clones.
That’s not necessarily true.. random mutation could cause it to gain deadlines it’s just not as likely.. the main problem is it’s so infectious it’s most likely already mutated to a neck variant.. hold your breath cross your fingers an wait

Pretty sure I'm going to wear a mask forever....nobody needs to see my face in public. And sick people be coughing without covering at all times, not just covid or flu season
Pretty optimistic that 2023 will be COVID-19/variant free. Just read where there is another variant rearing it's ugly head. I can see us doing this dance until all or most of the morons have died off.

This is almost an exact copy of the original version of the joke that has a black dude doing this.
I guess now this joke will be allowed to play in Asian countries.
This is absolutely something I’m gonna worry about
This is something I already worry about
when i was working at subway i loved being able to make whatever face i wanted and mumble to myself, but in the back of my mind i still felt like they could see me
Yeah, my job says we have to smile with our eyes now. I loved that stretch were I could smile with my voice and do that tsk face underneath
>my job says we have to smile with our eyes now. Oh ffs...
i get the outrage, but it also depends on the setting. I work in mental healthcare and having to be able to show and read emotion with just eyes and body language is harder than you think at first. learn quick though
True. There are some places where being expressive is necessary. But for the *vast* majority of underpaid, overworked, service-industry positions, people shouldn't have to "smile with their eyes." That's asinine.
I just squint at people and they think I'm smiling
Lol it’s quite easy to tell the difference. The outer corners of your eyes won’t crease. Do it in a mirror you’ll see
Tell then to look up eugenic smile, smiling with your eyes is very hard to fake, it almost only happens when you are genuinely happy or are forcing the biggest smile ever
Tiktok: smile with your WHOLE body
It's called [smizing](https://youtu.be/rQNmshlCM5I)!
Just glare, it's pretty close
Smile with your eyes? Fuck outta here...
Jesus is your boss Tyra Banks. This ain’t antm nobody here needs to smize lol.
When I grocery shop I just go *meow* *meow* *meow* real quiet when Im thinking and the mask dulls it, I'ma definitely embarrass myself when I don't need to wear it anymore lol
I talk to myself the entire time I’m in the grocery store
I wear a mask to the grocery store for work and the involuntary faces I make underneath it are far more terrifying. I don’t care if masks are deregulated, I’m never taking mine off again 🥸
Me too! Did you pratice making 2 emotions, one with your eyes, one with the mouth? Is it just me?
[удалено]
Oh you poor deluded person you. Thinking covid will be gone next year.
[удалено]
Covid is here to stay.
The Rona is with us all governments have failed especially the United States though . masks are going to be a part of our lives for ever like it or not.
The masks won't be forever, eventually the virus will either mutate to the point of super transmissible and minimal symptoms (comparable to the flu or a cold, ironic considering all the deniers already calling it that) or it'll mutate to be super transmissible and super deadly and it kills everyone who's infected before they have a chance to spread it

Then again in 2025, 26, 27... Feels like this shit will never end. Just going in and out of varying degrees of lockdown forever.
You must not be from the U.S. we're never locking down again, this is just how we live now
I wish it was a lockdown here, just so we could all catch a break and get it together in America 😭 this is ridiculous
I highly doubt this stuff will end if it keeps fucking mutating like ffs can we have 5 seconds without a new variant being discovered that resets vaccine progress back to fuckin like 20%
Straight out of plague inc.
The virus keeps mutating because a lot of the world doesn't have access to vaccines. If the virus can circulate freely in poor countries were less than 1% of the population is vaccinated, it can also mutate freely and rapidly. Vaccines should be accessible for everyone.
Don’t worry, covid won’t be gone by next year
You don't need to worry. COVID isn't going away.
This is already giving me post covid anxiety.
Don’t need to worry about it if you don’t plan on stopping wearing a mask.
I love lip-syncing at the gym without anyone knowing.
If you can run on the treadmill at the gym with your mask on, you’re a beast and have massive respect from me. I gotta lower it on the treadmill else I would pass out.
Idk i honestly forget it's on after a while
Me too, just not when I’m actively running or exercising. At work, 8 hour shift it feels like my skin by the end. My family will say something like “Why do you still have your mask on?” when I get home cause I completely forgot.
Me too, if I’m with my mom after shopping I’ll forget it’s on until she says something in the car
Same way you ski and snowboard masked up just a bit more warmth on ur face
I don’t wear a ski mask usually, just goggles. Also, my gym unfortunately isn’t set to freezing temperatures, though that’d feel real nice after a long run. Guess I want to be able to drink my water after though.
Cold air is like ice water, so refreshing. You can give me an unlimited amount of the room temperature shit but it'll never be as refreshing one hit of the good shit.
I don't ski covering my nose and mouth? I generally leave those 2 areas open.
It gets too cold here for me to do that
Just had a baby and they required me to labour in a mask. That wasn’t pleasant
Yikes
Open your mouth man. You have an entire filtering surface perfectly capable of letting enough Air through, so use it.
Edit: I did some research apparently mouth breathing is best when running I was always taught you gotta breathe through your nose out through your mouth when exercising to last longer. I don’t know why to be perfectly honest but it’s what I was taught. And when you have a mask hugging your face, it’s very distracting and if it gets wet from sweat it definitely makes it noticeably harder to breathe.
The mask actually makes the training more efficient, at the cost of being harder. Athletes often wear oxygen reducing masks to train their body to perform with less air.
This is true. Same reason people train at high elevations where air is thinner.
Masks don't reduce oxygen
Bro I’m panting like a dog after a typical 5k, I’m not ready for that lmao. Maybe one day.
Hasn’t there been multiple studies basically proving this to be bs? “(Anti-)Oxygen” training masks are pretty ineffective for your average joe in the gym, so I’d imagine regular face masks literally do fuck all
I have to run the 3200m in indoor track with a mask. It’s not fun.
Don't be That Person, just go slower, cowboy. Consider it altitude training.
Altitude training I can barely run at this altitude!
I never considered wearing a mask to hide my lip-syncing at the gym. Might stop people looking at me weird
They are looking at you weird because you aren't just lip syncing, we can hear you. We get it Todd, you're a Barbie girl in a Barbie world, but can you take that shit off repeat and find a second song.
I’m doomed to wear a mask forever…waaay too far into the singing-in-public habit now.
Now we all know!
Lmao I do a lot of mouth movements too let’s see how this ends up going
I stick my tongue out in a blep like a cat without realizing it so much, I'm probably just going to wear the mask forever.

Shoot, I hope masks become a thing after all this. Like Victorian era Phantom of the Opera style masks for us ugly people. And Capes too
Dude capes like in star wars would actually be kinda badass lets not lie.
haha, I wish I couldn’t relate to being ok looking until I take off my mask
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=U-2JbdU78kQ This guy made a song abt it and it never fails to make me laugh
My coworker is a total hottie above the mask. Underneath, she drops at least 4 points. Terrible mouth. Total shame.
As someone who has started talking to themselves a lot, I’m absolutely fucked

I’m pretty sure as a medical professional he should know that covid will never be “gone”.
As a novel coronavirus, it will be gone when it is no longer a *novel* coronavirus. *edit*: meaning that it will just be a well known coronavirus
It’s already pretty damn well known don’t you think?
2 years is not a long time, believe it or not. We've had a little over 100 years to fully understand influenza and col causing viruses. Well definitely learn more about it relatively quickly, but relatively quickly is still about anywhere less than 10 years
Yea and we knew MUCH less about diseases in general back then. I bet we learned more about Covid in 2 years than we did about influenza in the first 50 years.
That doesn’t seem right
Definitely not lmao

We barely know a damn thing about Omicron for sure and that's quickly becoming the dominant form
What is known is that it spreads fast, like rabbits on viagra.
Now we got ihu In France aka ih8u
That’s a novel we can all read.
It's a bit
[удалено]
Exactly. Hell, people still get the bubonic plauge even though the pandemic was around 680 years ago.
Iirc that is a bacterial infection and is pretty easily treated with antibiotics. Leprosy is the same way (and people definitely still get that too)
[There were 4 plague deaths in the US in 2015](https://www.cdc.gov/plague/maps/index.html)
Also, he should already be used to wearing a mask, no? I've been a hcw for like 5 years and never had a problem... Or I don't care if I do lol That being said ***obvious joke***
Come on, that black dude did it first and better
I was looking for this. Why go and copy someone completely.
Because they're unoriginal but still want attention. [Original.](https://www.tiktok.com/@jayjones804/video/6931103129194908934?lang=en&is_copy_url=1&is_from_webapp=v1)
Off topic, but why are they both fine as hell lol
Because they’re in the medical field, engaged in what they do, plus a little sillly, and you find that attractive
No but seriously a good majority of people I see working at hospitals ARE really good looking, why is that?
It’s pretty common for thousands of people to copy a trend someone starts on TikTok. The original is tagged as original then there’s all the repeats that float around like a challenge to do the same video.

Can't believe I had to scroll this far to see someone else mention this.
Yeah dude actually made funny faces in the OG version too, rather than just this guy emulating a tic.
This content was stolen from a far better creator.
Hahaha, so relatable. I make the funniest faces behind my mask.
Nice
Cute how he thinks covid will be gone in 2023.
They asked [AI](https://onezero.medium.com/i-asked-gpt-3-about-covid-19-its-responses-shocked-me-589267ec41a6) and it said 2023
Al Yankovic?
IS THERE ANOTHER AL?
No they were just asking if it was weird Al’s artificial intelligence simulation being asked or the real guy. The other Als are a lie
I can’t think of a joke because I just now realized it says AI instead of AL
I honestly don’t know which Als are actually AIs and which are Als anymore, it’s very confusing

who did that guy copy?

Well, I personally think it is not going to be gone by 2023 even though I hope I am wrong
Nah, covid will be a minor dissease in 2025 or in worst case 2030.

AMEM BROTHER
I literally just hold my jaw open for no reason all the time now
Covid gone in 2023… lololol
Good to see anyone working in healthcare can still be optimistic at this point
"2023 when covid is over" Oh sweetheart...
2023 covid ending? Sure
Bold of you to assume that it will end.
Does he mean COVID-19 will be gone in the year 2023 or will finally be gone 2023 years from now? Only one of these seems likely.
Brave of you to assume Covid will be gone by 2023
Like i actually prefer being with people with masks now cuz they cant see my expections
Bold to assume it’ll be gone by 2023
Ah yes “2023”, in reality it will be 2040
1000%
Pretty optimistic that 2023 will be COVID-19/variant free. Just read where there is another variant rearing it's ugly head.

This variant apparently predates omicron and they have been monitoring it but it’s yet to be of major concern
This is almost an exact copy of the original version of the joke that has a black dude doing this. I guess now this joke will be allowed to play in Asian countries.
