🤣The wildest internet story today?
The “Scientology speedrun” has gone from online joke to real-world chaos.
The idea is simple, stupid, and very 2026: pranksters treat Scientology buildings like a live-action video game level. They rush in, film how far they get, then post the “run” online like they’ve just beaten a boss fight.
It reportedly kicked off in Los Angeles after one creator’s video blew up with around 90 million views before being pulled down.
Now Australia has entered the chat.
In Brisbane, police apparently expected maybe a dozen people.
More than 200 turned up.
Then it went full internet goblin mode. Masks. Cameras. Crowds. One person reportedly rode a BMX over a police car. Others allegedly climbed into an unlocked police vehicle. Two people were charged.
So basically, a bunch of TikTok kids woke up and said:
“What if trespassing, public nuisance, and bad decisions had a leaderboard?”
Funny? In a chaotic, dumb-online sort of way.
Smart? Absolutely not.
A sign of where internet culture is heading?
Probably.
Because this is the new trend cycle now: joke becomes challenge, challenge becomes crowd, crowd becomes police incident, police incident becomes content.
Peak 2026 behaviour.
