New York City hiring top rat killer

“The rats are absolutely going to hate this announcement. But the rats don’t run this city. We do” has become a top tier audio meme. I think I hear this in my head about as often as I see “(x) Doubt” or “This is fine (dog engulfed in flames)”

NYC really did a great job with the marketing on this.

I think the real reason TikTok was successful is it popularized the audio/video meme and the means for them to go viral.

Whatever it popularized is the exact opposite of what entertains me. I was recently sent a link to tiktok that was a video set to random music of a single screenshot of a single tweet.

My younger self had higher hopes for humanity.
