Origin

On April 6th, 2024, YouTuber Buur^[1] posted a Roblox skit video. At some point in the video, the characters argue about a "weather machine" that controls the weather, and a character sets the machine to "7," which causes natural disasters. After the weather machine is set to 7, it cuts to a newscaster who announces, "Some idiot has put the weather machine on 7. We are all about to die. The disasters are as follows: Tornado—" before he suddenly gets sucked up by a tornado. The video gained over 3.2 million views in six weeks (shown below).
