Nutella tricks class is out, which means it's time to make a nice bowl of bananas and rice and catch up with all the biggest memes of the past week.

This week in the memeverse, Crandall High School teachers went viral in the worst way possible thanks to one purported student, a conspiracy theory about a leviathan in Virginia shook boomers on Facebook, yelling AI food taught everyone on Reels a lesson, and more.

Here are five of the week's best memes that you need to catch up with.

Nutella Tricks

There are a lot of important things that school never taught us, and apparently, "Nutella Tricks" is one of those things.

The meme started when X / Twitter user @kaaincloud posted a life hack video from the_noahnator on Instagram in which he sticks a mixer into a jar of hard Nutella to whip and soften it up. They posted it with the caption, "Nutella tricks you're never taught in school," implying that there are some Nutella tricks that you're taught in school, just not this one.

The idea of Nutella tricks being taught in school tickled social media users and inspired a whole wave of memes on X.

A lot of the memes see users playing along with the idea of a Nutella tricks class, including jokes about the people who skipped Nutella tricks class, and the superiority one might feel after paying close attention in Nutella tricks class.

Examples

Bananas and Rice Girl

A victim of ICE agents became the victim of online trolls this week after nervously rambling on about bananas and rice while discussing what it means to be Somali-American.

ICE has been at the top of many people's minds lately following the deaths of Renee Good and Alex Pretti. But another victim is Nasra Ahmed, who recently spoke at a conference in Minneapolis about how she was wrongfully assaulted, given a concussion, called a slur and detained by ICE agents pursuing two men she didn't even know.

During her speech, she says that being Somali isn't just about eating bananas and rice, and then gets lost in her point, saying the phrase "bananas and rice" a few too many times.

The video of Ahmed fumbling her analogy went viral and was picked up as a meme, largely by trolls and the pro-ICE crowd.

Now, the phrase "bananas and rice" is appearing in the comments section of just about every post about ICE as a way to make fun of the Somali-American people struggling in Minneapolis.

It's a bit of a controversial meme, but it's everywhere, and it's worth understanding where it comes from.

Examples

Leviathan Waking Up Near Virginia

Facebook is the breeding ground for a lot of wild conspiracy theories, and this week we got a real juicy one as users worked hard to spread the claim that there's a leviathan waking up near Virginia.

For those who don't know, a leviathan is a mythological sea creature. Some people say it looks like a sea snake, while others have depicted it as a giant dude with a scraggly beard and a mermaid tail. Interestingly enough, the leviathan even gets a shoutout in the Bible.

This past week, several Facebook posts went viral by sharing what they claimed were unaltered screenshots taken from Google Earth that seem to show the shape of a giant snake head in the ocean east of Virginia.

As if that wasn't bad enough, the conspiracy theory claims that the government created the recent snowstorm to freeze the creature in an attempt to stop it.

So, is any of this true? Well, obviously not, and no Virginians are sharing reports of seeing a giant frozen sea demon in the area as far as we know.

The conspiracy became a big meme after it was shared outside of Facebook, resulting in a lot of funny reactions about leviathans and conspiracy theorists in general.

Crandall High School AI Teacher Videos

A new way of using AI was discovered this week at Crandall High School, and it involves turning photos of your actual teachers into memes about how much you either love or loathe them.

A TikToker named crandall.kirkinator has been going viral on TikTok and Reels for using Viggle AI to make videos of their supposed teachers at Crandall High School in Texas dance under captions about how much they hate or love them. It's kind of like Rate My Teacher, only it's one person with absolutely no filter.

These videos have caught the attention of just about everyone who's come in contact with them, inspiring others to get in on the fun with their own reactions, AI videos and memes.

Little is known about crandall.kirkinator. It's very possible that they're just a troll who doesn't even attend Crandall High School, as their true identity is still unknown despite rumors that they were supposedly caught.

Either way, it's been fascinating to see someone use AI in such an aggressive, personal way to vent their frustrations about school. Let's just hope, for the sake of teachers everywhere, that this trend doesn't last.

AI Food Yelling At You

Finally, another big AI trend got some attention as videos of AI food and products yelling about how to properly take care of it went viral across social media.

These videos have been around for a few months now, but only recently started getting the attention they (debatably) deserve.

In the videos, talking AI food that's being mistreated in some way angrily yells at you about how to properly care for it. For example, a piece of pasta might yell at you about how long to cook it, or a banana might yell at you for keeping it in the fridge, when really it'll last longer on the countertop.

Videos like this have been popping off on apps like TikTok and Instagram Reels for just being straight-up bizarre. On the plus side, while the videos might be annoying, at least they're educational.

If you can handle listening to your favorite dish yell at you in an AI-generated voice for about 30 seconds, you might actually learn something. There are definitely worse ways to use AI.
