Back in June, the HBO show Chernobyl aired its final episode, and it was all anyone on the internet could talk about. That discussion somehow led to this hilarious exchange between Twitter users @stopitg and @georgenykov:
The tweets went viral, but now, the phrase "RIP but I'm different" has transcended tweets about Chernobyl and become a meme. Weirdly enough, it works with a lot of topics. Here are some of the best:
