Change My Mind
The folding-table sign meme — a man with coffee inviting debate under the caption 'Change My Mind.'
An exploitable photo of a man at a campus table with a sign ending in 'Change My Mind.' Users rewrite the top line to state a hot take, joke opinion, or absurd claim — inviting mock debate.
History
In February 2018, Steven Crowder posted a photo from a Texas Christian University campus segment with a sign reading 'Male Privilege is a myth / Change My Mind.' The image was immediately photoshopped across Twitter and Reddit into a durable opinion template.
