Shark Week, originally a programming block on the Discovery Channel, has evolved into a massive cultural phenomenon and an internet staple. The memes surrounding it typically range from genuine excitement about marine predators to using the term as a cheeky euphemism for menstruation. During this time of year, social media is flooded with images of Great Whites breaching the water, 'Left Shark' throwbacks, and jokes about how people prepare for the week as if it were a major holiday. It serves as a bridge between scientific appreciation and absurd internet humor, capturing the collective fascination and primal fear humans have for the ocean's apex predators.
