People on Twitter are doing what they can to keep it light. This time we've got folks hatching up nicknames that are inspired by their limited food options and emotions being felt, while in quarantine. The results are pretty great.

The coronavirus has left many streets across China empty. It looks like a ghost town out there. There are pictures of vacant subway stations in the middle of the afternoon, and apparently even KFC and Starbucks are closed. Chinese residents are working on maintaining their sanity during lockdown by getting real creative with the indoor activities. Good to see some triumph of the spirit during such a troubling and frightening time.
Twitter users are trying their very best to make songs as annoying as possible. The process that goes into making a song excruciatingly annoying is far easier than you might think. Maybe some artists out there are actually just trolling the rest of the world with the most annoying songs they can make.

This is oddly entertaining. The viral movement of "Ok boomer" gets an explanation on Japanese TV.
2019 was a blur, and as we get ready to lean into 2020, it's high time to look back on those things that we should really just leave behind. Some trends were better than others, but in general, 2019 was a bit of a mess. Time to leave the worst of it behind, and make 2020 just a bit better.
Twitter users are getting real about what pieces of pop culture doomed their first names. Sucks to be born into a world that loves to meme the shit out of Karen, if that's your name. Or maybe you were named Harry, and proceeded to walk through life with everyone telling you that one day you'd grow up to be a wizard, Harry!
After the surreal debacle that was the "Storm Area 51" Facebook event that actually ended up inspiring some Kyles to get out there with their Monster energy drinks in tow, the Area 51 memes have been flowing. It's still ridiculous to think about people showing up for the event, and going so far as to mix it up with military officials so that they could try and "break into Area 51." Twitter users are cracking all kinds of funny jokes about the crazy shit one could find in the notoriously eerie Area 51.
Big news today for fans of The Matrix or Keanu Reeves or Carrie-Anne Moss. So, basically everyone. Variety reports that "Matrix 4" has the official green light. Lana Wachowski will be writing and directing the film, with Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss picking up where they left off with their roles as Neo and Trinity.
Twitter is abuzz with excitement and of course, some cynical apprehension about the news regarding the film. People are either all for it, or want nothing to do with another Matrix film. Check out some of the reactions below.

A viral video from Twitter User @Roo_Jenna, captures a nasty church leader shaming a hysterical young woman for wearing jean shorts at church, based on her body. This is just brutal, and you can hear the terror in her voice, as it looks like she's trapped in the bathroom.
Pokémon Sword and Shield's latest update trailer got the world of Pokémon fans and foot fetishists going. Yes, it seems this particular gym leader named Bea has just the kind of feet that sets off people's inner foot fetishist. The thirst was strange and uncomfortable and very real from some people on Twitter, who reacted to the trailer. They want this new gym leader in Pokémon Sword and Shield to step on them.
@FishBowlOfWine got just the kind of Twitter thread rolling that we love to see. Specifically, people are sharing those tweets that they remember at random times, and still laugh about. It's like remembering that one joke or actual moment you lived down that still makes you shudder, laugh, or grimace, but in Twitter form.
