The '30-50 Feral Hogs' meme originated from a viral tweet by William McNabb in August 2019 during a heated online debate regarding gun control. McNabb famously asked how he was supposed to protect his children from the '30-50 feral hogs' that allegedly run into his yard within '3-5 minutes.' The oddly specific numbers and the surreal imagery of a porcine invasion immediately captivated the internet, leading to thousands of parodies, songs, and photo edits. Today, the meme is used to mock overly specific hypotheticals or to represent any absurdly large, sudden threat that appears out of nowhere.
