I've noticed the weirdest trend on Facebook lately.
More and more of my Facebook friends have been turning into animals.
No, I'm serious.
Every time I sign into my account, I see that 30 or more of my friends have changed their profile pictures. There's nothing unusual about this, but in the past several weeks I've noticed that an increasing number of my friends have been changing their profile pictures to photos of animals or babies.
So naturally I've deduced that the strangest phenomenon is taking place, and the rate of human-to-animal transformations has taken off at an unprecedented pace, and that some of my friends have been experimenting with anti-aging technology, with various degrees of success.
I'm a little bit frightened, of course. I really like being a human, and I am starting to fear the very real possibility that I may somehow shift into a cat or some other pet. I really wish someone could explain to me exactly why these changes are happening. Are they spontaneous? Is it a choice? Do people get to pick the animal they want to be, or is it just chance? And what exactly is the cause? I don't think it's geographically related, considering this program isn't limited to just once place - I'm noticing this among friends from across the continent.
Plus the baby thing. I'm pretty content being 19 (forever). But maybe some of my friends are having a tough time accepting their ages, and are experimenting with clearly questionable anti-aging methods. Clearly the effects are more Benjamin Button then they likely wanted. In any case, it's getting weird. It's a real challenge figuring out who's who based on baby profile pictures. I mean, some of the babies don't even look like the people they are supposed to be.
I just wish that everyone would stop changing into animals and babies. Facebook is so much more confusing when profile pictures keep changing into unrecognizable beings. It would be so nice if everyone just stayed human/adult and posted pictures of their human selves. But I guess I shouldn't complain too much- imagine if everyone was turning into scenery?
