Oh to be this funny

Trends

2020 has not been a great year so far, and everyone on Twitter is using a new meme format “oh to be” to wish away their lives and say who and where they would rather be.

The “oh to be” meme has produced some quality tweets. They range from very wholesome, with people wanting to be a chinchilla being held to wanting to go back to being 10 and playing on your Nintendo DS. A simpler time.

A few users have taken the meme very seriously to point out social injustices. One user has used the meme ironically to remind us women used to have lobotomies in the 1800s. Such range.

These are the weirdest, cutest and down right savage “oh to be” memes:
