New to Twitter, not to the Internet

Fabricated social media conversation making an internet prank joke

This image is a screenshot of a fabricated dark-mode X/Twitter conversation thread, featuring account avatars of Will Byers and Mike Wheeler from the TV series Stranger Things. The first tweet, posted by user @willthewise (using Will's avatar) reads 'Hi guys, i'm new to twitter. My name is Will', timestamped 11:12 PM 07 Aug 24. A reply from user @hotwheels (using Mike's avatar) makes a classic 'deez nuts' internet pun joke, phrased as 'will deeznuts fit in your mouth' to play on Will's name. The Will account replies with the sequence '166.321.990.249', a fake IP address (the number 321 is outside the valid 0-255 range for IPv4 octets), implying he has doxxed the commenter. This prompts the commenter to immediately reply with 'im sorry'. The joke hinges on the subversion of expectations: the poster who claims to be new to Twitter is actually very familiar with common internet pranks and responds with an exaggerated, absurd threat that shocks the prankster into apologizing.

This meme is sourced from 9Gag via RSS feed, as specified in the provided source metadata. It is an original fabricated meme created by editing X/Twitter's UI to add custom text and Stranger Things character avatars, playing on widely recognizable internet jokes (the 'deez nuts' prank, doxxing threat tropes) and Stranger Things fandom references. It was circulated online around August 2024, matching the date shown on the fake tweet in the image.
