Twitter's quarantine house meme is full of terrible roommates and hard choices     DATE: 2024-05-22 21:54:53

The coronavirus pandemic has forced everyone to hole up at home for weeks now, and cabin fever is sweeping the globe. Millions are climbing the walls, wistfully reminiscing about last year and wishing they were anywhere but where they are.

Being confined to your home for weeks on end tends to do a number on your mental health. However, a new Twitter meme reminds us that, for those whose homes are otherwise safe and comfortable, it could be much, much worse.

Twitter users have been compiling lists of (usually terrible) housemates, and asking each other to choose which group they would socially distance with if forced. It's like 2019's cafeteria meme, only instead of sitting with them for an hour you're stuck with them for the foreseeable future.

Most of these memes have focused on celebrities and fictional characters, often following a theme. Others, however, have taken a slightly weirder bent.

Too real.
