The challenge encourages students to record a video of themselves telling a teacher there was a bomb or gun in their backpack as a "joke."

Three Kentucky teens were charged with terroristic threatening after participating in a TikTok challenge, Oldham County Police said in a news statement on Friday.

Investigators said that three separate incidents at Oldham County High School on Aug. 14, 15, and 17 were related to the TikTok challenge, which encourages students to record a video of themselves telling a teacher there was a bomb or gun in their backpack as a “joke.”

    Nah that’s a legitimately crazy stupid conclusion. The kind that your grandma makes and thinks computers are taking over the world. America is rotten to it’s core. TikTok just holds up a mirror and shines a floodlight at it so you can consume more of that chaotic American juice.

    I don’t need a Chinese surveillance application to show me how fucked society is. I live and see it weekly. It’d be daily if I left the house more.
