As we look to a future in which we will undoubtedly be dominated by robot overlords, it’s nice to know that at least that future will still be full of great memes.
Twitterer @CroixAlmer posted a tweet earlier this week saying he had programmed an algorithm to look at 1,000 memes then produce one of its own. And what it produced was glorious.
It produced GOOTS.
i made an algorithm look at 1,000 memes on Twitter and then produce its own, and this is what i got.
i am shaking and crying.

@CroixAlmer’s meme may not have been actually created by AI but I don’t even care. GOOTS is the meme we all need and arguably, the meme we deserve after everything we’ve put up with these last few years.
What is it about GOOTS that’s so magical? Is it the simplicity? (According to Know Your Meme, the picture of this beautiful fat goose is from a 2014 Flickr upload and all it took to make it total perfection was one simple word.) Is it the impossible aptness of the aggressive all-caps GOOTS, obviously the only suitable onomatopoeic caption for this particular goose?
Does it matter? We don’t need to define it, we just need to appreciate it—something the internet was quick to do, as memes beget infinitely more memes.

one of the coolest things about the whole GOOTS thing by far is like
everyone under the original post is what made it funny. the original picture itself is a soft chuckle, but the sheer insanity surrounding it and the godlike memes beneath it grant it power.
