What is 'RaptureTok'? Why end-of-the-world memes are taking over social media
RaptureTok is the latest trend to take over TikTok after South African pastor Joshua Mhlakela claimed the rapture will happen on 23 September
A social media user has garnered significant attention for a proposed prank involving the concept of the 'Rapture.' The user, identified as Miss. Mimi (keepitkindkaren), posted a video outlining a plan to lay out clothing items, including a t-shirt, shorts, flip-flops, a hat, Crocs, and a dog collar, in their driveway on September 24th. The stated intention is to create the impression for a 'MAGA neighbor' that the user and their dog have been taken in the Rapture, while the neighbor has not. The video, which features a static image of the laid-out clothes accompanied by text explaining the prank and animated crying/laughing figures, has sparked considerable discussion online, with many users expressing amusement and some indicating plans to replicate the prank. The concept taps into both political and religious themes, using humor to comment on perceived ideological divides.
