Alice Chilton's FYP

Summary:

What else did Alice watch in the car that morning?

Notes:

Everyone was very nice and supportive of the group chat fic so what the hell, let's try another phone-based fic. Feel like describing a bunch of TikToks is juuust a bit more awkward to format than a group chat so I hope everyone can use their imagination pretty well lol.

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Transcript: (American accent) Now in America, a jumper is a type of shot taken by a basketball player.

(British accent) While in the UK, a jumper is a warm long-sleeve shirt usually worn during the winter.

(American accent) Over in America, that's called a sweater.

(Both together) And that's your American to British translation of the day!

Video description: A women in her 40s or 50s with glasses sitting at what seems to a desk in a university office, explaining the concept of nature vs nurture in siblings

Transcript: Have you ever wondered why some siblings seem so similar and some siblings seem so different while having the same parents?

(Alice interjects to herself with "God I wish we had siblings that seemed different.")

Nature vs nurture helps explain this. "Nature" in this context refers to the idea that there are certain traits and behaviors in children that the parents are unable to influence, while "nurture" focuses on what the parents, as well as friends and other family, are able to influence. Today, most of the psychology field believes both have equal significance for how a child can turn out. 

Amount of video watched by Alice: All of it, liked, almost leaves a comment complaining about Niamh and Siobhan before remembering her TikTok username is just her first name and last name
