What posts will end up becoming a meme are often hard to determine.
Just what pulls something into the public consciousness and makes people go "I need to do/say/post that too"?

The uses for this meme seem endless. It's only text, so no photo editing ability is necessary, and it requires just the time it takes to type a tweet to use it. People are using it in quite a variety of ways.
