> Meditation is being fully aware of what's happening now. Is scrolling TikTok meditation then?

  You could practice TikTok mindfulness. Pay attention to the feelings and sensations in your body as you watch. What emotions arise? What thoughts arise? How do you feel before you start, and how do you feel afterwards? What do you observe when you notice the instinct to scroll away from one video to the next? Can you feel the impulse before you take action? What does it feel like? What changes do you observe from watching each video? Does each video have a similar effect on you, or do you notice differences? What is happening to your mind, heart and body in each moment, as you pay attention with nonjudgmental curiosity and compassion?

  You joke, but If scrolling TikTok puts you in a particular State of Mind, then Yes. Simply put; Any Activity which causes The Subject (i.e. The Doer) to lose himself in the Continuous Contemplation of The Object (whatever it may be), is Meditation. The best example of this is the ancient Hindu Text Vijnana Bhairava Tantra which lists 112 types of Activities which if done correctly leads to "Meditative Dissolution".
