• The Harambe Sacrifice (2016)

  The Harambe Sacrifice theory claims that the May 2016 killing of Harambe at the Cincinnati Zoo was more than a zoo emergency or viral media event. In this theory, the gorilla’s death was a symbolic blood ritual intended to trigger disorder, collapse an existing timeline, or usher in a period of accelerated social chaos later remembered online as the “darkest timeline.”
