  Just in time for the Rapture - COINCIDENCE??!?!?!?!?!?!?! Edit: apparently HN readers are unaware that there's a viral belief going around that the Rapture is happening between Tuesday and Wednesday of this week.

    I thought the Rapture was happening last night when I was shaken from a peaceful slumber by a 4.3 earthquake.

    RaptureTok, that was not a term I ever thought I'd read. I'll be playing D&D right in the middle of their predicted Rapture-window, guess I'll still be here on Thursday.

    > Edit: apparently HN readers are unaware that there's a viral belief going around that the Rapture is happening between Tuesday and Wednesday of this week. While it's certainly being talked about a lot on TikTok, but I'm not sure how many people are posting there about how they really think it's going to happen. Last I looked a couple of days ago it looked like a few dozen accounts at most were posting original content about it, but there were tons of people making content satirizing it. In general I think "trends" on TikTok get treated as though they're far more widespread than similar phenomena on other platforms, like Twitter.

Streisand effect in full force. I had never heard of Kimmel nor Kirk until psychopaths tried to silence them.

  You'd never heard of Jimmy Kimmel?

    Outside the US - I'd not heard of either of them too.

      I'm outside the US too. Kirk makes sense, he was fairly niche. But Kimmel I'm surprised about. Have you heard of Jimmy Fallon and Conan O'Brien?
      - 4ndrewl 1y ago
        Heard of one of them, not the other. Couldn't tell you what they are or do though.

        Whoa pardner, you've got your niche-personalities mixed up. Internationally Charlie Kirk was way better known (in nearly all ways) than Kimmel who is, after all, just a narrative amplifier on US cable television. We foreigners do not watch US cable television so Kimmel, who's that? Kirk on the other hand has started something of a revolution among younger people - and some older - with his attempts to engage them in politics. Kirk's organisation - TPUSA - is way bigger on the 'net - which we do share with those of you in the USA - than any cable TV propagandist. To be honest I don't understand how you can miss that. People like Kimmel and O'Brien and Hannity and Maher and all the others are really of no interest outside of the US borders while people like Kirk and Shapiro and Friedman and Lindsay (just to name a few) have worldwide reach. We don't need no cable TV We don't need no thought control No propaganda on the TV (or PC or mobile, they all fit, take your pick) Media leave your shit at home Hey, media, leave your shit at home All in all you're just another brick that will fall All in all you're just another brick that will fall Sing this to the tune of Pink Floyd's well-known anthem.
