The DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) meme is a tech-centric trope that humorously illustrates the overwhelming nature of massive data traffic hitting a single target. These memes typically feature a small, vulnerable object—representing a server, website, or person—about to be crushed by a gargantuan wave or an endless barrage of projectiles symbolizing malicious requests. Popularized within the cybersecurity and IT communities, the meme serves as a relatable way to vent about infrastructure failures, botnets, or the sheer frustration of a service going offline due to high volume. It has since evolved beyond technical circles to represent any situation where an individual is suddenly bombarded by an unmanageable amount of tasks, messages, or information.
