A recent meme is taking over social media where people suggest they “know a place” or “know a spot” and it usually turns out to be somewhere absolutely awful that no one would want to go to. Some versions of the meme use the format to poke fun at people for their romantic behavior and dating choices, other versions showcase a trait of a favorite characters from literature (Lady Macbeth) or television (Jon Snow) or musician (Axl Rose). While some of the memes are sweet, like the one where [Jimin](https://time.com/5771308/jimin-grammys-hair/) from [BTS](https://time.com/collection-post/5414052/bts-next-generation-leaders/) shows off his favorite spot (it’s in a hug!) others are sly digs at, for example, journalists or [Geminis](http://content.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,834656,00.html). While the memes offer a little escapist fun, as these tweets show, leaving your house during the [pandemic](https://time.com/5859557/coronavirus-cancer/) on the hunt for a favorite spot probably isn’t all its cracked up to be.
