The 'Mind Blown' meme features comedian Eric Wareheim from the Adult Swim show 'Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!' during a sketch where his character experiences a psychedelic, universe-shattering realization. Characterized by his hands moving away from his head to simulate an explosion, it quickly became the internet's go-to reaction for facts or situations that are difficult to comprehend or surprisingly profound. Since its rise in the early 2010s, the template has been used across social media to express genuine awe, sarcastic disbelief, or the galaxy brain feeling of discovering something mind-bogglingly obvious.
