Just when you think the internet can’t get any weirder, it always does.

The latest internet trend is inspiring drivers all over the world to jump out of moving vehicles and dance in the street while a friend in the passenger seat films, and transport and law enforcement officials around the world are starting to speak out against the dangerous fad. Even members of breakthrough K-pop boy band BTS are getting in on the action.

The viral phenomenon is called the #InMyFeelings challenge, and is the latest – and possibly most dangerous – of the viral video dares, similar to the Cinnamon Challenge (which led to hundreds of teenagers eating a spoonful of pure cinnamon) or the Mannequin Challenge (in which a room full of people hold perfectly still while a moving camera pans over each).

The challenge, sometimes also known as the #Keke, has caught the attention of social media users everywhere, and is starting to be called out by law enforcement authorities in the US.

Massachusetts police chief Joseph Solomon says: “It’s only a matter of time before someone gets sucked into the wheels of the car or dragged or the person who is recording it with their phone hits somebody crossing the street.”
