If you've spent any time on the internet in the last few days you've probably seen a sudden increase in the use of the pushpin emoji.📍
You may remember the "Distance Between" meme, that became popular back in October after Twitter user @Cybersnitch tweeted this:
Bitches be like I’m FAR from being lactose intolerant: lactose 📍 📏 (2 min. walk) 📏 📏 📍 intolerance
Since then, a new meme using pushpins has emerged. Introducing the Location Meme:
📍me | | | _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ actually dming | 📍 my mutuals | _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _| | | | 📍liking their tweets and waiting for them to understand that i want to be their friend
Basically, there are three points. Point A is the starting point of the person's thoughts, point B is the sensible action they probably should be taking, and point C (which is where they end up) is the negative action to the situation.
Here are some that'll make you crack a smile (or make you feel personally attacked):
