Recently, the term “Fork Video” began trending on X, sparking people's curiosity about the content that sparked a barrage of memes online. The reactions of some social media users, who posted funny pictures depicting a stunned and shocked soldier warning people not to watch the clip, suggest something sinister.
Netizens are becoming more curious due to the uptick in NSFW videos recently. Their shocked reaction to the “Fork Video” clip spun a web of intrigue around the content that always piqued people's interest in the clip. The manufactured interest led to a spike in searches for the term, resulting in it appearing on X.
However, the clip that sent everyone onto the social media platform was not NSFW-related content. The video, posted by user Non-Aesthetic Things on January 6, 2023, proved to be a boring clip of a man drinking five liters of water with a fork without stopping.
Social media users interact with Fork Video online
Historically, we've been known to beat ourselves up in an obsessive frenzy over certain topics, like shows, celebrities, clothes, and good dialogue. With the advent of the Internet and Twitter, our collective obsession now exists on an unprecedented scale, making it somewhat ubiquitous and an established trend online.
Recently, social media users became curious about the fork video, which involves a man simply drinking five liters of water with a fork over the course of seven hours, seemingly without interruption. The video posted by user Non-Aesthetic Things caught the attention of the public, who took to Twitter to share their reactions. This inadvertently sparked interest in the video, which has received more than 16 million views.
Most of the views appear to have been caused by people overreacting to the video, making the clip even more tempting for unsuspecting internet users.
However, when people found the video in which the man was seen drinking water from a can, social media user Satyam Patel summed up netizens' collective thoughts by saying:
“I spent a minute of my life watching a man drink water with a fork.”
In response to the comment, another user wrote:
“Get me in, these are two minutes just wasted in the universe.”
Despite the absurdity of the content, the video sparked hundreds of funny reactions.

It's important to note that although the clip seems innocent, this trend can be dangerous. Last year, a TikToker in Canada was hospitalized after drinking four liters of water a day for 12 days. The woman was diagnosed with severe sodium deficiency, or hyponatremia, after drinking too much water.
