• A German politician's speech has spawned a wave of baseless conspiracy theories about September 24.
• Some internet users believe a global "major event" is going to occur on the day.
• The baseless notion has also gained traction in circles of the far-right conspiracy movement QAnon.

Both far-right conspiracy forums and mainstream platforms such as TikTok have spread wild claims in the past week that all surround the date of September 24. Although there's no proof whatsoever that anything catastrophic or world changing will happen on that date, the otherwise unremarkable day has become the source of rampant online speculation.

QAnon followers, apocalyptic conspiracy theorists and various content creators have fixated on the date, sharing baseless theories across social media that have received millions of views. Each has come up with convoluted explanations for why the day has some hidden meaning.

The online fascination with September 24 stems in part from a speech given by Friedrich Merz, leader of Germany's Christian Democratic Union party. In a speech earlier this month addressing Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Merz misspoke and said September 24 (instead of February 24, the first day of the invasion) would be a day that people would remember, according to a German far-right researcher.
