“I am my perimeter and my perimeter is me”
The “I am my perimeter and my perimeter is me” meme started from a streamer’s Snapiyya gameplay video of Rainbow Six Siege.
When opposing forces ambush the player, he delivers a monologue in a soldier-like accent to boost his morale and make the situation both funny and dramatic.
This meme went viral on social media, with users creating funny scenarios using Snapiyya’s audio.
And needless to say, I couldn’t relate more to some of them.
Here’s a classic:

“You wouldn’t last an hour in the asylum where they raised me”
Taylor Swift again, huh?
You’ve probably heard (or even listened to if you’re a Swiftie) about her new album “The Tortured Poets Department” by now. Her body of work isn’t the main topic here, but the memes inspired by it are.
Lyrics from the song “Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me?” took social media by storm as a viral meme. People love the phrase “you wouldn’t last an hour in the asylum where they raised me” and find it highly relatable, given the massive influx of memes. Here are a few examples:

“I wouldn’t tell anyone I won the lottery, but there will be signs” Meme
What would you do after winning the lottery?
Most people would likely buy luxury mansions, sports cars, or take world trips.
Social media users, however, took this concept further, coming up with all sorts of hilarious and unconventional ideas. The sky’s the limit in such scenarios.
I’m not sure about the peckers, but the second video really hits the spot, doesn’t it?

Just Ate Half an X, Saving the Rest for Later
You might wonder, what’s so special about saving half your meal for later, and why is this meme all over TikTok?
Well, the key is in what you consider half and how it looks to you. TikTok users have shown that there’s nothing certain about that, and the ways people leave their half-eaten food for later come in various, often unconventional, forms and shapes.
Definitely not what I’d expect if I asked someone to leave half a banana for me.

November is when Spotify Wrapped dominates timelines, revealing your musical journey (and questionable music taste).

As expected, Spotify Wrapped gave social media users yet another reason to create hilarious memes. The roast fest was on.
