The argument raged for so long that rival factions emerged: "melters" and "truthers." Each side started presenting their own detailed proof, including artistic sketches and CGI simulations of the car's dashboard. To reiterate, this is a plastic duck we're talking about. Who knew the internet could invent an even dumber conspiracy theory involving melting than the steel beams in the World Trade Center.

In the end, it was settled that the car hadn't changed and that any differences were just the result of perspective -- something the internet has a habit of lacking.

Or there's this short story of a guy robbing a pharmacy, only to be stopped by the world's most on-edge pharmacist waving around a shotgun. Having failed, the criminal then decides to turn lemons into lemonade by at least getting his prescriptions refilled while he's there.

Did you like Se7en? Would you have liked it better if Brad Pitt's part was played by a toddler? Well, stock photography has you covered! In three frames, we see a gun-wielding preschooler descend into maddened grief, but his innocence isn't the only thing that's dying today.

It turns out that there's even an extended storyline for that "guy checks out girl on the street as his girlfriend looks at him angrily" meme that made you quit social media for two weeks. In it, that poor girlfriend has to continually have her heart broken again and again by her sleazeball boyfriend, only to wind up dumping him and then becoming the very thing that she hated. The cycle of lust gives no quarter.

As The AV Club notes, it hits a lot of the same notes as the original show did. You can easily imagine Kramer bursting into the apartment dancing with a garbage bag, George calling himself the "captain of hygiene," or Jerry killing it on stage with his timeless bon mot "What's the deal with this ping pong guy?"

But that wasn't enough for the internet, not by a long shot. So when the remake of the horror classic IT came along, Twitter was ready to take the meme to reach its final form. And so the internet thrust the Babadook into a fulfilling relationship with Pennywise the Clown, a pairing referred to by some as "PennyDook," a terrible name that will eventually become the terrible title of a movie we'll go watch on day one.

Being rejected on a perceived lack of humanity must be very painful (unless you're a robot, naturally), and was an important element of Clinton's introspective memoir What Happened, a scintillating postmortem of a failed election in which the culprit was identified as every other human being to have ever existed except herself. The book also details many of the tough choices Clinton had to make throughout the campaign, doing things she often considered pandering just to get more votes. For instance, take that time she was campaigning in Oklahoma, a deep red state. In a desperate attempt to appeal to local voters, Clinton remembers sacrificing a bit of dignity by dressing up as a cowboy, firing two revolvers into the air, and, as we all remember, executing a cattle rustler right there on the stage.

It's that this point we should clarify that this didn't happen. The above page was nothing but a bit of surrealist madness from "Milkshake Duck"-termer and Very Funny Twitter Account @pixelatedboat. But you were convinced for a second, weren't you? Admit it.

Barely a day later, Twitter was being flooded with "Is this real?" replies which Boat posted, probably while pinching the bridge of his nose for several seconds. Certainly, the dumber parts of the internet were more than willing to believe Clinton had added another innocent life to her quite impressive body count.

What is the internet good for if not making scary things less scary? Like with Pennywise plush dolls, for example.
