The #Ebowla meme is a classic example of internet wordplay that first gained traction during the 2014 Ebola outbreak. It typically features a photo of a simple cereal bowl with the word 'Ebowla' superimposed, turning a serious health crisis into a surreal and absurd pun. The meme fits perfectly into the 'shitposting' and 'cursed images' subcultures, where humor is derived from the low-effort visual execution and the sheer stupidity of the linguistic joke. Over the years, it has remained a staple in niche communities used to parody sensationalized media or to simply baffle unsuspecting scrollers with its literal interpretation of the pun.
