TikToker Discovers Kitchen Light In New Home That Won't Turn Off Isn't A Light Fixture At All

TikToker @mojojojokes was peeved after she couldn't figure out how to turn off the overhead light in her new home's kitchen—before she made a hilarious discovery.

Anyone who has ever moved into a previously-lived-in home can attest to the fact that every home is a little bit different and that some might even have some surprising features. From secret rooms and closets to fun, pull-out kitchen cabinets, you never know what you're going to get.

That was the exact experience TikToker @mojojojokes had after moving into her new rental home. While in the kitchen in the middle of the day, she kept trying to turn the kitchen overhead light off and found herself unable to do so.


After running some errands and arriving back home after nightfall, the TikToker and her partner were surprised to find the light off.

She reflected:

"All day yesterday, we couldn't figure out how to turn this light off."
"So we left to run errands, and when we came back, the light was off."
"We were like, 'What the f**k? Is it on a timer?' But that makes no sense. Why would the timer go off at night?'

But then the TikToker discovered the truth about the light, which was not run on electricity at all.

"It would if it's the sun!"
"That's a f**king skylight, b***h!"
"You see that? 100 percent, natural, organic, solar power."

The TikToker further proved her point by going outside and pointing out the dome that was on her roof, which contained what is called a solar tube, created by Solatube International.

Instead of a traditional skylight cut into the ceiling, a tube is fed through the interior of the home to point light to a particular area that might be lacking natural sunlight, and with the use of refractory metal and a clear dome on top, the sunlight is able to pass through and refract into the selected space.

The TikToker was clearly very impressed with her discovery and the previous owner's commitment to the home.

"I got super lucky, because this house is old, but the owner took care of all of the things that give it its charm!"

While some TikTokers knew exactly what their fellow TikToker was about to discover when she told her story, others were just as perplexed and amazed by what awaited her in her new rental home.

Because brand-new homes are such a popular concept these days, it's easy to forget the treasures that may be hidden in a previously-lived-in home!

Fox News Host Apologizes After His Suggestion That Homeless People Be Euthanized Sparks Outrage

Fox and Friends host Brian Kilmeade was criticized for suggesting that homeless people with mental health issues get "involuntary lethal injection" after the murder of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska on a train in North Carolina—and was swiftly condemned for an insincere apology several days after the fact as many are calling for Fox News to terminate his contract.

Zarutska was stabbed to death at the East/West Boulevard station on the Lynx Blue Line in Charlotte last month; her killer, a homeless man with a history of mental health issues, has since been charged with first-degree murder.

Nancy Mace Just Tried To Claim She's Never 'Dehumanized' Her Colleagues—And The Internet Brought The Receipts

South Carolina Republican Representative Nancy Mace was called out for hypocrisy after she claimed on CNN that Democrats in Congress have been "dehumanizing" Republicans, a move she would "never" do—despite her record of doing just that.

Speaking to anchor Katie Bolduan while the search for the suspect who killed far-right activist Charlie Kirk was ongoing, Mace objected to Bolduan's observation that she was using "us v. them" language, only saying that things are "very one-sided right now." She also suggested that the situation is so bad for her that she's actually afraid of "just walking out in public."
