A wave of viral mentions surrounding the figure of Nikola Tesla in Belgrade
Over the last 24 hours, several social media posts have gained wide distribution, dealing with surreal depictions of the famous inventor Nikola Tesla in Serbia. According to ReaderJustus, who gained exposure of hundreds of thousands of views, an internet joke was spread stating that "in Serbia you can go to church and see Nikola Tesla charging a Rasengan" (according to ReaderJustus).
The mentions, which achieved high virality, were accompanied by skeptical questions from users regarding the reliability of the information, with ReaderJustus himself clarifying in response that not all residents of Serbia are capable of performing such actions.
At the same time, the user ieatarock published specific geographical references linking what is happening to the Avala Tower in Serbia (according to ieatarock). It appears to be an internet meme that combines historical sites in Serbia with elements from pop culture (anime series), which has generated great interest among the digital audience.
The story demonstrates how a combination of identified geographical sites with mythological figures from scientific history can turn into viral content quickly, despite the lack of any factual basis for the claims presented.
