Yeah. And I, you know, when you ask about like, is this a bit or not? I think it's a not very useful way of thinking about this because context collapse is so just a part of the way the internet works that like, even if you come up with something kind of funny and even in the original thread, everyone in there kind of knows it's a joke.

So this idea of a Chad, this jokey meme about a hyper-masculine jock who women love, it kicks around on the internet for about a decade. Sometimes Chad's drawn as a guy with a mohawk. Sometimes Chad is represented by this one picture of this one high school football player. In 2017, a new meme circulates of a bearded, high-cheekboned, absurdly roided-out muscle man.

These are black-and-white photos that border on the uncanny, almost AI-generated. And people start referring to this image as the Giga Chad. Like, the Chad to rule all Chads. This is the GigaChad music. Of course, there's theme music. And there are tutorials. These videos of scrawny young teenage boys teaching each other to imitate the GigaChad's bizarre facial expression.

Eyebrows raised, cheeks sucked in, and a distinctive smirk. It's like a goofier version of how you might flex your biceps and pretend to be Superman. If you've been around teenage boys in the past couple years, the Giga Chad face, like the Sigma face, is just something you see them pulling at each other and then cracking up. We had Jim Carrey, they have this.

But what you mean is that in certain kinds of subcultures where people are intentionally provoking each other, but also everyone has a tendency to take their own ideas seriously, again, this idea like, is this a bit or not, is kind of a useless question.
