Enslaved Moisture is a cornerstone of the Surreal Memes subgenre, featuring the iconic 'Meme Man' character observing a plastic bottle of water. The meme relies on 'surreal' logic, where common objects are described in bizarrely clinical or grandiose ways—in this case, referring to simple water as 'enslaved moisture.' It first gained massive traction on Reddit’s r/surrealmemes in mid-2019, sparking a trend where various items were rebranded as 'enslaved' versions of their base components. The meme is typically used to mock the concept of selling natural resources or simply to celebrate the nonsensical, abstract humor that defines modern deep-fried and surreal internet culture.
