The 'My Body is a Machine' meme format gained popularity as a surrealist and self-deprecating way to describe personal habits and physiological functions. Often featuring a grainy, industrial-style illustration of a complex machine or a stylized human silhouette, the text follows the structure: 'My body is a machine that turns [Input] into [Output].' It traces back to weird-core and irony-poisoned internet circles where users joked about mundane or unhealthy cycles—like turning caffeine into existential dread. Its minimalist aesthetic and relatable formula have made it a staple for expressing the absurdity of modern life.
