The 'Belly Button Video' meme stems from a series of viral, often visceral clips showing the removal of deep-seated debris or 'navel stones' from belly buttons. These videos gained notoriety on platforms like TikTok and Twitter for their 'gross-out' factor, triggering a wave of reaction memes where users depict their horror or morbid curiosity. The meme represents the universal internet experience of clicking on a link you immediately regret, serving as a modern digital 'trauma' shared by millions. It is frequently used in a 'POV' format to describe the moment someone witnesses something they can never unsee.
