[By now, you've probably seen it. It started on a teenager's Instantlergram, and then migrated over to Chatter, Timbr, and you might have even seen a video or two on your For You Page on Joltiktok about it. The Daily Dottler ran an article about it sourced by no one.

About what? About how the hot new band Chicken Choice Judy was recently "caught in the wild" at a child's birthday party dressed head to toe as giant torchics.

And the internet, as it often does, has been having a field day with it:

"guess there's one entertaining thing at my brother's dumb party. #chickenchoicejudy #torchic #canileavenow" - Original Poster MimiKissyKyuutie

"cake is very bad for torchics this is completely irresponsible" - Chatter user badbreedertipsonly, famed meme account.

"what the heck is a chicken anyway" - Timbr user newgearhoothootdis, followed by hundreds of replies of increasingly bad guesses.

"this isn't news, call me when the torchics kiss" - Joltiktok user luvdisco, with a filter that adds sparkles to the picture and a music clip that seems to be Celine Brionne's My Heart Ball Will Go On played badly on a Pokéflute.

And so on and so forth. So it probably isn't a surprise when Ryan pops up after a day or so of this.]

hey so

i get how things go on the internet but how do you take them off

like forever

is just deleting the whole internet an option, or...?

you know, for no reason whatsoever.

[Except you know exactly what reason it's for. Because everyone in all of Johto and Kanto has seen it somewhere recently.]

can't be. Even if only 1% of people who saw that saved the pictures to their own devices, that's still thousands of people. And if they share it, and 1% of the people who see their post save it, then...

[How good are you at math, Ryan?]

[Kind of bad, actually! But good enough to know that is a number larger than zero, which would be the ideal number.]

i don't even get why anyone would save it anyway

like, it's not even that funny??? and it's not like we're famous enough yet for this to be news

people share it because it made them laugh, even a little.

If you want, think of it as a little bit of joy being spread around. Sometimes that matters.

I guess that makes sense

it'd be cooler if it wasn't at our expense but it sounds nicer when you put it like that

nothing you can do about what happened

but you can decide how you look at it.
