A girl posted that she was going to give herself 365 buttons for every day of 2026 to encourage herself to do more things. The comments section did. Not. Understand it. Reams and reams of comments asking about the buttons, criticizing the buttons, asking her to clarify about the buttons. She kept it cute and trolled them right back, and now she is a meme.
