The 'Baby Eats Camera' meme stems from various viral videos of infants crawling toward a recording smartphone and attempting to taste the device. The most famous iteration involves a wide-eyed baby opening their mouth until the screen goes black, often followed by a transition to the 'You Died' screen from Dark Souls or a journey into the backrooms. This template gained massive traction on TikTok and Reddit as a versatile 'POV' format, symbolizing being overwhelmed by something cute yet chaotic. It is widely used to represent anything from a snack's perspective to being 'consumed' by a new obsession or a massive corporate entity.
