The 'X Shreds' meme format typically features a character or public figure feeding a document or file into a paper shredder with a look of determination or indifference. It serves as a visual metaphor for the act of ignoring advice, destroying evidence, or completely disregarding one's responsibilities. While several variations exist—including the popular Captain America version from the Marvel Cinematic Universe—the meme remains a staple for internet users looking to mock institutions or personal habits where facts and duties are 'shredded' out of existence. Its popularity stems from its relatability, especially in professional or academic contexts where procrastination is a common theme.
