Just admit that you watch TikTok, this is a safe space. The short-format, big-imagination video app is certainly in heavy rotation at my house; my wife started binging TikTok videos – her feed is full of dance challenges, self-care tips, and Mom/Dad Stuff. And yet, I’ve only recently been made gleefully aware of what has been appropriately dubbed, "Indian Farmer TikTok" or IFTT for short.
Like whips being ghost ridden, insanely dangerous high-speed tricks on Saudi Arabian highways, and thousands of silly Mustangs getting sideways in parking lots, these freewheeling, tractor-stunting Indian farmers have all the makings of an Internet sensation. And with good reason: These guys have major skills and an obsession with their farm equipment that borders on the unhealthy.
