Joke claiming Achilles would be defeated by a razor scooter

This image is a screenshot of a tweet from the X (formerly Twitter) platform. The tweet makes an absurdist humorous joke combining ancient Greek mythology and modern relatable experience: it states that the legendary Greek hero Achilles, who was invulnerable everywhere except his heel, would be easily defeated by a razor scooter, referencing the common risk of serious heel/ankle injury from falling off or colliding while riding a razor scooter, which would directly target Achilles' only weak point. The tweet's author has a profile picture of a woman making a playful silly face, sticking her tongue out and resting one hand behind her head.

This image is a screenshot of a 2018 Twitter (now X) thread. In the first tweet, verified user Matt Crowley mixes two Greek mythology-derived idioms for comedic effect, stating 'Not knowing about Greek mythology is my Achilles' Horse', incorrectly combining 'Achilles' Heel' (a common term for a personal weak point) and the Trojan Horse myth. Verified user Bryn Stole replies with a single exasperated 'Matt.' to call out the mixed idiom. Crowley then leans into the joke, replying 'Uh oh, I've really opened a Pandora's Labyrinth here', another deliberate incorrect mix of the idioms 'Pandora's Box' (a source of unforeseen widespread trouble) and the Labyrinth of Crete from Greek myth. The humor stems from the self-aware mangling of widely recognized cultural references to create absurd new mixed phrases.

This is a dark mode screenshot of a public X (formerly Twitter) post from well-known content creator Quackity.

This image is a screenshot of a public post from X (formerly Twitter). The post, made by user @abbyy_giirl, includes the text caption 'he's a cic8a boi' positioned above a photograph of a real cicada standing on a tiny purple finger skateboard resting on rough asphalt. The caption is a wordplay pun combining the word 'cicada' (the insect featured in the photo) and the popular Avril Lavigne song title 'Sk8er Boi', using leetspeak where the number 8 replaces the 'ate' sound, turning 'cicada' into 'cic8a' to mirror the 'Sk8er' spelling from the song, framing the cicada as a skater boy.

This image is a screenshot of a public X (formerly Twitter) post. It contains a simple wordplay joke based on the name of the fruit "passion fruit": the tweet text splits the compound name, playfully asking "what the hell is that fruit passionate about", treating the word "passion" as a personal trait of the fruit instead of part of its official name. The user profile at the top shows the poster's display name is Hurt CoPain, with the handle @SaeedDiCaprio, and his profile photo is a mirror selfie of him holding a phone.

This image is an unedited screenshot of a public verified post from X (formerly Twitter) user Andrew Tate (@Cobratate). The post lists four short lines: first referencing the Pixar animated film *Ratatouille*, describing it as having a "funny mouse", noting it has deeper themes to consider, and concluding that people who identify as "hustlers" (people focused on self-improvement, entrepreneurial success, and productivity) must watch the film. The humor stems from the completely unexpected and absurd pairing of the children's animated movie about a cooking rat with the hyper-masculine, productivity-focused "hustle" content that Andrew Tate is known for producing.

This image is a screenshot of two sequential tweets from X (formerly Twitter) user @jzux, display name trash jones. The first tweet, posted at 4:56 PM on May 19, 2022 via Twitter for iPhone, reads 'i'm doing a lot of finding out for very little fucking around, actually', a playful subversion of the common 'fuck around and find out' internet idiom that normally states reckless behavior leads to negative consequences. The user replies to their own tweet adding 'would love to fuck around more and find out less, if possible', expressing relatable frustration at experiencing unwanted hardships and consequences without having engaged in the fun, careless behavior that typically precedes such outcomes. The screenshot also shows the first tweet has 181 retweets, 4 quote tweets, and 1,563 likes, with the user's smiling profile picture displayed next to both posts.
