The "Stonks" meme began around 2017 as a humorous and ironic misspelling of "stocks." It often features the character "Meme Man," a surreal, simple figure in a business suit, standing behind a confusing graph or numbers. The meme's early use was to highlight poor financial decisions or ironic stock market commentary. Its rise in popularity is partly due to its use on Reddit's WallStreetBets, particularly during the 2021 GameStop stock surge. "Stonks" humorously refers to stocks, particularly meme stocks, and continues to be a symbol of both the absurdity and unpredictability of modern investing
