About

Let's Say, Hypothermically is a redraw meme based on a webcomic by X / Twitter user @CariSwump in which a character says "hypothermically" instead of "hypothetically" and then freezes into a block of ice, as "hypothermia" relates to freezing. The comic was posted in late June 2025 and went viral on X shortly after, becoming the subject of edits and redraws over the following days.

In the comic, a person approaches another person, saying, "Hey hey dude listen, let's say, hypothermically," then freezes into a block of ice.
