About
Thing Thing refers to a cartoon webcomic showing two people saying, "thing" and "thing," with a third person listening from the outside who eventually says, "thing," disgusting or shocking the other two. The comic was created by Twitter / X user dobyghost (@dobyghost) in early July 2024, who captioned it, "this was my whole childhood (adhd)." The comic highlighted an occurrence some people with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) experience when talking to others. In the following days, the comic became an exploitable meme template with people changing out various elements of the original, amassing iterations in viral replies and quotes.
