Text on the meme

Hurt CoPain @SaeedDiCaprio · 1 j since mercury is in retrograde I have to bring back this text from my mom 9:10 Monday, October 4 Mom now Son be careful they're saying there is mercury in gatorade. pls don’t drink it

What it means

A tweet screenshot says that, because Mercury is in retrograde, the author has to bring back a worried text from his mom. The embedded phone lock screen shows Mom warning her son that people say Gatorade contains mercury and asking him not to drink it. The joke combines a parent’s gullible chain-message-style warning with the astrological phrase “Mercury in retrograde,” treating both as the same alarming mercury situation.
