What The Fuck Is Oatmeal
About
What The Fuck Is Oatmeal refers to a series of image macros, shitposts and memes using variations of the statement "I don't want to get political or anything, but what the fuck is oatmeal?" Many responses to the question feature references to the 1, 2 Oatmeal meme.
Origin
Variations of the question began appearing on Reddit in 2018. Me.me has a variation featuring a deep fried variation that was scraped on May 4th, 2018 from the /r/deepfriedmemes subreddit.[6] The image features Star Wars character R2-D2 and the question "I hate to be the one to ask but what the fuck is oatmeal." However, the post has since been deleted.
The next time it appeared on the site was when it was posted by Redditor[7] bjtags20 in the /r/me_irl subreddit on September 26th, 2018. The post received more than 1,000 points (98% upvoted) and 30 comments (shown below).
