Nikocado Avocado is known by millions, and the reputation he's been building over the past eight years wasn't exactly a positive one. Known for eating more calories than any other mukbang YouTuber ever and supposedly delighting in his rapid, life-threatening weight gain, Nikocado Avocado made so many viewers confused, disturbed and genuinely worried about him over the years. His videos, which mostly consisted of him eating massive amounts of food and having a secondary nervous breakdown halfway through, were often shared online as cringe content, and he built both a genuine and ironic following over the years.

Now, it turns out that Nicholas Perry, the man behind the Avocado, has completely turned his life around, losing weight in secret while releasing pre-recorded videos of his previous binge-eating activities. As to how he managed to do this, no one really knows for sure, but it seems he was planning the scheme to reveal his weight loss for roughly two years. Why he did this is a far more unanswerable question. He claims it was a "social experiment." That answers absolutely none of our questions. Here are some memes about the shocking news that rocked the internet this weekend.
