Answer: The meme originated from people predicting or joking about planning events on certain days. Examples include “Me when the Queen dies on April 26th, 2023”, while impossible to know if it’s going to happen on that day, people had fun predicting stuff would happen like that. The fog is simply another terrifying and ominous event being predicted, originally on tik tok a lot of people joked about the fog consuming everything in its path, simply because it was so bizzare and funny it caught on, eventually entangling itself with the “predicting future events” meme

Thank goodness, I saw one that said the fog is coming July 2nd and my first thought was “I have a 7 hour drive that day it better the fuck not”

THANK YOU

It’s awkward talking about this with my sister, and trying to find answers, and ofc when I look into it, out of all examples that could have been used, the Queen dying is the example…on the day she died (today)

Not gonna lie, as dumb as it is this meme really freaks me out, probably my overactive imagination. Something about the vagueness and eeriness really gets to me, to the point where I'm up at night feeling like a scared five year old and constantly glancing around the room.

u/Head-Dragonfly2797 avatar

Thank you so so much god bless you

oh god

i thought we're doom but no

I am so thankful for you. When I first saw this trend I got really nervous. My stomach started to hurt. I got really scared. So thank you.

I actually remember seeing a fandom page that was last edited in 2019 and literally predicted the day prince charles would die or some shit.

Haven’t been able to find it since tho.

Wasnt the fog also a movie series? I guess the meme takes inspiration from the movie (it also reminded me of The Mist by stephen king)

u/Danielyoutube avatar

“The Fog” also known as water vapor, was a movie series. Also if you play Dead By Daylight the game Dead by Daylight takes place in its own “The Fog”. Or known as, the realm.

"The Fog" is a movie series and "The Mist" is scary

This makes me happy to hear that it's just a joke cause i got scared a bit. The videos still give me a fright, but now i know its a joke, im less scared

Answer: I'm unsure of where it originated, but there's quite a lot of memes relating to catastrophic events happening at an oddly specific date. A lot of people, including myself, enjoy setting reminders using the remindme bot just in the off chance we're still on reddit by then. I think people just like to make believe, and once one person makes a meme it only takes a few others to make similars ones and it's become an entire genre of meme

u/litionere avatar

Yea I think its a subcategory of the anti-empath meme. sends bad vibes , you know

Answer: I do not remember the movie name nor did I watch it, but I believe that this has some concept to a movie made in 2019 (I believe) that was basically an SCP, and when the “fog took you” you basically became a zombie trying to get other humans

(Do not take my absolute word for this as I have not seen the movie and this don’t know the whole story, however according to the trailer, this is true.)

Maybe something related to the movie called [The Mist]?

For me when I first saw this trend I immediately thought about the movie Interstellar

u/Flimsy_Discussion584 avatar

The first thing that came to mind when I saw this trend is a creepypasta written by an Italian youtuber named mortebianca, where a fog coming from the edge of the universe was consuming everything on its path.
