TikToker @dottshot's harrowing videos showing Planet Fitness equipment being submerged underwater quickly went viral.

Well this is absolutely terrifying.

TikToker @Dottshot found himself trapped inside a Planet Fitness after flash floodwater rushed into the gym and quickly rose, submerging equipment and forcing patrons to remain on elevated machines.


@Dottshot documented the event on TikTok in a now-viral video captioned:

"Story time: the flood in Planet Fitness"

He began with the question:

"So how did I end up on a stairs machine in a flooded Planet Fitness?"

He revealed:

"Well, let me tell you. It all started when I looked up from my phone to find that half of the parking lot I was sitting in was already under water."
"We were only expecting 5-6 inches of rain, so when I saw this, I kind of went into shock."

He continued:

"I went into Planet Fitness, took a shower, and when I got out, the water was already rushing in."
"I opened the door momentarily and that did not let the water in. I'm pretty sure the water let itself in because you can't stop that much water."
"Also, my car went under right in front of me. I watched the whole thing. That hurt a lot."

@Dottshot shared his PayPal and CashApp info is in his bio, in case anyone was interested in helping him with his damaged vehicle.

He finished:

"After all that, we just stood around. We were waiting for rescue personnel for hours."
"They wouldn't answer us, so I decided to pick up my phone and start filming TikToks and the rest is history."

Many viewers chimed in with their advice.

In response to those who said to "just swim," he sarcastically responded:

"10/10 great advice."

Other viewers were seemingly more terrified of the ordeal than @dottshot himself.

@Dottshot posted a video of the aftermath with the words "POV: You respawn into the walking dead" across the screen.

As if we needed another reason to avoid the gym!

In all seriousness though, we are thankful everyone got out ok.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
