TikTok offers many different themes and genres, but one-time travelers generate millions of views as they navigate the world on their own.
A time traveler alone in the world is currently generating waves of interest Tick tock. The platform has already been home to many interesting channels, but individual survivors’ videos are quickly going viral, generating millions of views in the process. Here’s what you need to know about TikTok’s Time Traveler:
Although TikTok is much newer than many other social media platforms, it has quickly established itself as one of the most important ones. With a steadily growing user base and an algorithm that can deliver highly relevant videos, TikTok is becoming a focal point for many on the Internet. It also helps that TikTok covers a wide range of topics and genres, including time travel.
The @unicosobreviviente channel on TikTok recently went viral. The TikTok handle “unico sobreviviente” is Spanish for “lone survivor,” and the creator, who simply identifies as Javier, appears to be posting from the future. Since the station went into operation, it has attracted almost three million followers and more than 16 million likes. This despite all the videos that are the same and simply show Javier walking around. The difference is, wherever Javier goes there is nobody to be found. Everyone just disappeared, with the hint that the population has since become extinct. The year is 2027.
Is the Lone Survivor a Time Traveler?
In a “My Story” video, Javier explains how everyone else in the world just left after waking up in a hospital. Since then, Javier has continued to search for people and regularly document the trip using videos uploaded to TikTok. Javier assumed it was still 2021 when he woke up in the hospital, but that was until he found that all of the electronic devices were saying that the year was actually 2027. However, the sole survivor does not claim to be a time traveler. Instead, Javier claims to be in a parallel world. One that runs alongside this one, albeit six years in the future and one without people or animals. In that sense, Javier doesn’t seem like someone traveling through time, but rather a case of someone communicating through worlds that are slightly out of linear synchronization. A world that TikTok seems to transcend.
As unusual as it sounds for a time traveler to use TikTok to communicate with others, it’s not entirely unusual. For example, there is also @ timetraveler2582 which, as the handle suggests, is a time traveler’s report from the year 2582. Unlike Javier, Timetraveler2582 and many other TikTok time travelers are more interested in warning users from past predictions about the future. However, the lack of predictions from Javier and the general lack of people make this TikTok time traveler’s videos all the more intriguing and scary.
