> 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.

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.

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