New York City has been blanketed in an apocalyptic orange haze from the Canadian wildfire smoke since Wednesday, and some TikTokers are making the most out of the situation.
Some are sharing how they combat the polluted air with air purifiers and humor, while others are using the orange-tinted New York skies as a backdrop for aesthetic TikTok videos.
A TikToker, @yuzujoy, posted a video of her "dystopian morning routine," where she filmed herself making her bed, lighting a scented candle, and brewing a cup of Instagram-worthy coffee on her bedside table.
The video, which had a consistent orange hue, has over 1.2 million views as of June 9, and people are going nuts in the comments.
"Lmaooo the end of the world can't stop the content girlies," read a comment on the video. "i bursted out laughing fr," read another.
Meanwhile, others post videos of themselves sticking their vacuum cleaners out the window to "clean" the air.
"I got y'all right now, I'll clean the air right now," said TikToker @leilavr20 in a video, which has over 4.4 million views as of June 9.
Several users went along with her antics. "Tell me why this wouldnt work tho," read a comment with almost 10,000 likes. "Why doesn't everyone do it for clean air," read another.
Other TikTokers share how they fight the smothering smog that pervaded their apartments.
"The hallway smells like nothing but smoke so I had to put this towel down," said TikToker @mvndimarie in a video, showing a towel that sealed the gap under her door. She also had her purifier turned on and placed in the middle of her living room.
Her video, which has over 47.2 million views as of June 9, ends with a shot of the heavily clouded view from her apartment window as she says: "It's nothing but smoke."
