📍 Folk empire is expanding its territory outside Ohio.
We need to see a HYBRID of Art the Clown + Cat in The Hat…😱😱😱
OH YEEEAHHH!
I don't believe this
I live in Arkansas..
The Cat in the Hat came back after dark,
With a grin in the window and eyes like a spark.
He whispered, “Come follow! Come look at the screen!”
But nobody noticed just what he had seen.
The messages multiplied—one, then a score,
Then hundreds of whispers appeared at the door.
A joke became rumor.
The rumor became fear.
And suddenly nobody
Wanted to hear.
The sirens went wailing.
The hallway lights flashed.
The laughter went silent.
The whole night had crashed.
The Cat tipped his hat.
Then he slowly looked round.
For under his footsteps
There wasn't a sound.
“It's only a trend,”
He whispered so low.
But trends can turn terrible
Faster than snow.
And somewhere a phone
Lit up in the night,
With one final message
That nobody liked.
The Cat gave a smile
That was crooked and thin.
“Be careful,” he whispered.
“Of what you let in.”
Then the screen went black.
And the room became still.
But the Cat in the Hat
Was watching them still
I live near that area and at one point we had to go in lockdown because someone made a cat in the hat threat and everyone genuinely thought a shooter was there…
I’m scared chat

Imma definitely stay in my house for Halloween
Brings me back to the days of the "killer clowns" in a weird way
Momo all over again
Guys my school had to go on lockdown because one of these teenagers was armed with a POCKET KNIFE they do this EVERY year last year it was a clown…
Why do we do this
folk valley
Pls send all nukes and tanks and guns pls Evansville
Ai gonna take over the world I swear 💀
People are sick. Movies like Buddy and AI are making this normalized. It’s disgusting
What was the actual threat though?
Kids these days think cat in the hat is obscure enough for a believable analog horror 🤦♂️ mascot horror has melted their brains you just need scary text and a grainy filtered pic of a guy in a costume and you're set
Just use generative AI to make a creepy Cat in the Hat assign homework. It will stop.
The only thing troubling about this is we have credible threats against schools and the children that attend them and all people can talk about is the AI mask the perpetrator used. Can someone sane be in charge now?
trumps america
The cat actually has the same skill set as penny
U know what's crazy? The bad apple concept. Because in theory, it can be applied to the entire world. It started from "Adam and eve". Like a plague… where population will start with 4 out of 50 ppl being psychopaths, then as time goes on, population increases, along with the amount of psychopaths. So now im assuming out of 8 billion ish ppl, 400,000,000 are psychopaths….. thats my ASSUPTION. But Google says its about 1% of the population that are psychopaths. Thats still 80,000,000……. I have this gut feeling, all these psychos are gonna all come out at once and just fk sht up
lol I hate this timeline of existence
Did it actually make a threat? Or are the people just taking it that way?
