A man on Twitter asks how to "kill the 30-50 feral hogs that run into my yard within 3-5 mins while my small kids play" and the internet has turned it into an incredible meme.
Twitter may be a hell site but it can often lead to unintentional meme gold. Twitter user @WillieMcNabb is the protagonist of Twitter's new favourite meme after his tweet asking about 30-50 feral hogs attacking his children went viral on the platform.
Following two mass shootings in El Paso, Texas and Dayton, Ohio over the weekend, @WillieMcNabb participated in some Twitter discourse about gun control. It's not entirely clear the point he was trying to make when he tweeted "Legit question for rural Americans - How do I kill the 30-50 feral hogs that run into my yard within 3-5 mins while my small kids play" in response to a tweet about assault rifles.

The tweet immediately captured the imagination of many on Twitter who were then forced to imagine 30-50 feral hogs running into a yard within a 3-5 minute time window in order to attack children.
