"Stonks" is a meme featuring a poorly drawn man in a suit, standing in front of a stock market chart with the word "STONKS" in bold letters. Originating from a Facebook group in 2017, it humorously represents financial decisions or situations with a comedic twist. The meme gained popularity for its absurdity and the character's overly simplistic and confident demeanor. It often mocks irrational or clueless financial choices, presenting them as if they are intelligent investments. "Stonks" has since become a widely recognized and versatile meme used to satirize various aspects of economics and decision-making.
