AboutWhat does the meme depict?

The 'Weird Stuff I Do Potoo' meme, also called 'Peculiar Potoo', features an image macro layout with a photograph of a potoo bird. This bird is prominently characterized by its wide, staring eyes and an overall surprised expression, often perched in an awkward pose. The meme includes text captions that reveal odd, humorous personal quirks or unusual habits, framing the bird as sharing bizarre personal confessions.

OriginWho did it first?

The meme originated from an Imgur gallery of potoo photographs posted to Reddit's r/funny subreddit on September 15, 2013. This gallery included a distinctive photo of a wall-eyed potoo. On January 25, 2014, Redditor Robeast took this specific potoo photo and designed an image macro which he titled 'Introducing Weird Stuff I Do Potoo' and posted it to the /r/AdviceAnimals subreddit. The meme quickly gained popularity, receiving significant engagement shortly after its posting.^[1]
