Currently, there are videos circulating on TikTok featuring cats wanting a specific currency from you: Dabloons. We at MeinMMO explain what this trend is all about.
TikTokers have created a fictional market that operates on a cat currency called “Dabloons”. It all started with a hamburger “sold” by TikToker Sweezy, who claims to have started the trend. However, allegedly users copied his post without tagging him, which is why the original is now offline.
The TikTok game resembles an old Khajiit meme from The Elder Scrolls. “Kahjit has wares if you have a coin,” says a cat-like character to the players.
“That will cost you… 4 Dabloons!”
What is this trend? As you scroll through TikTok, you will eventually come across a slideshow offering you something. “Hello traveler, you must be hungry from all that scrolling,” reads the first image. The second shows a juicy burger, the third says: “But that will cost you…” and then an image of a cat appears, showing 4 of its toe beans and wanting “4 Dabloons” from you.
Many more examples followed, where cats want to sell you something. Users turned it into a real market and keep track of how many Dabloons they currently have. Some posts also call for commenters to share how many Dabloons they currently possess.
We at MeinMMO have also made a Tiktok about this:
By now, there are over 20,000 clips about the trend. Users either use the original meme or film their own cat. Additionally, there are posts giving away Dabloons. Or those that are about to rob you (via TikTok).
What are Dabloons? They are a huge joke, as Dabloons are not a real currency. They might only be related to the toes of cats. Users speculate that it’s a parody of cryptocurrencies.
Have you also seen posts about the Dabloon trend? Are you participating? If so – How many Dabloons do you currently possess? Or do you find the whole joke simply absurd? Feel free to let us know in the comments here on MeinMMO!
