This week, gingers made a shocking discovery, Bella Ramsey became the face of some unfortunate jokes, cat shadows went viral and the "Catherine Method" took over TikTok.

Gingers Are Black refers to a viral TikTok video by user @scorpiostellyla1meramera in which she claims that all gingers (people with red hair) are Black, no matter their skin color. She elaborated on this in a second video, claiming all gingers are Black because Irish people are descendants of the Haitian deity Brigette Samedi (Maman Brigitte), also noting that Irish people were with Black people "on the plantation." The videos were posted in mid-May 2025 and inspired a meme trend in which ginger people play into the idea of being Black now.

Do NOT Face Allah Alone While Astral Projecting refers to a copypasta and viral post from the /r/BewitchTheTaliban subreddit. The sub was originally formed as a place for witches to attempt to fight the Taliban terrorist group, but later became a parody where users share shitposts and ironic jokes pretending to magickally fight against the Taliban. The copypasta was posted on Reddit in August 2021 and resurfaced as a phrasal template in the following years, especially on Twitter / X, where users replaced "Allah" with different people and characters from TV Shows, video games or movies.

Devil May Cry May Calendar or DMC May Calendar refers to a series of photoshops in which the cover images of Devil May Cry video games are edited into calendar sheets for May, usually achieved the words "devil" and "cry" edited out. Following the virality of the initial edits that used the covers for the currently released Devil May Cry through Devil May Cry 5, the format developed further as users on Facebook and Reddit created edits based on covers for video games, movies and other media.
