A X ALL THE THINGS post.
X All The Things comes from Allie Brosh's 2010 Hyperbole and a Half post "This Is Why I'll Never Be an Adult." Her stick-figure self raises a broom in triumph and shouts "Clean ALL the things!" In the comic, the burst of adult energy lasts about a day. Then it collapses, and nothing gets cleaned. Many readers felt personally seen. The meme keeps the pose and the shape: one verb, then "ALL THE THINGS!" "Eat all the things." "Download all the things." "Cancel all the things." It works for any bout of overenthusiasm - the first day of a new hobby, a fresh January list, three new apps that will definitely organize your life. The arms are always up. The plan always ends by afternoon. **Why it caught on:** it captures that brief, glorious moment when you're sure you can do everything.
