How to use it
- TikTok: dropped after a comment or reply that gets no response at all.
- Discord soundboard: fired when a voice channel goes silent in the middle of a story.
- YouTube edits: placed over a bad pun to hold the pause that follows.

Can I use it on a soundboard?
Yes, the file is a standard MP3 that drops into most soundboard apps. Assign it to a key for the moment a call goes quiet.
