People on Twitter are choosing a ‘he/they of the day’ and every one of them is too true

Never has a trend got it more accurate

5 years ago

One of the most random trends on Twitter right now is people choosing a he/they of the day – a character from any fiction you like, an anthropomorphic burger from a logo, an inanimate object – and tweeting it with a picture. And though it may be random, it’s also perhaps the most effortlessly funny and charming viral trend there’s been in a millennia. Mostly because literally every single one of them feels absolutely correct. Even if you never thought these characters or things would identity as he/they, you certainly do once you’ve read the tweets. So, in honour of how much I’m obsessed with the he/they of the day Twitter trend – here are the best ones all rounded up:

1. The truest thing I’ve ever seen – we need a Bomb Voyage spin off
