noun, internet slang, emerging meme (2025–)
1. A satirical liveness test proposed to distinguish humans from AI, requiring the posting of foot images as verification.
2. A troll-meme founded by Munaf Sheikh (2025) that blends absurdist internet humor with rational commentary on embodiment, identity, and proof-of-humanity in the age of generative AI.
