I'm Thinking About Thos Beans is a legendary piece of internet absurdism that originated from a Facebook post by user Bill Ames in 2015. The post simply featured a picture of baked beans with the typo-laden caption, 'i'm thinking about thos beans.' It gained massive traction on Tumblr and Twitter due to its bizarrely earnest tone and the specific misspelling of 'those.' Since then, it has become a staple of 'weird Facebook' and 'surreal memes,' often used to signify an intense, inexplicable focus on a mundane object. The meme's charm lies in its simplicity and the unintentional hilarity of a stranger publicly sharing their quiet, bean-focused contemplation.
