A muscular figure is shown beside a 4chan-style green-text story about visiting his father, buying and carrying a Christmas tree, then repeatedly lifting his father after he collapses from a stroke. The joke is that bodybuilding strength unexpectedly helps save his father, turning the slogan “this is what we lift for” into an absurdly literal punchline. It is shared as a reaction to situations where an unusual hobby suddenly becomes useful.
