<p>Because of course it is</p>
<p><a href="https://www.polygon.com/game/fortnite/2417"></a><a href="https://www.polygon.com/game/fortnite/2417"><em>Fortnite</em></a><em> </em>is a good, goofy game that allows people to decide just how seriously they want to take their matches. </p>
<p>There are players, like <a href="https://www.polygon.com/2018/3/5/17078646/ninja-fortnite-twitch-stream-subscribers">Ninja</a> or <a href="https://www.polygon.com/2018/4/13/17234258/fortnite-stripping-youtube-ricegum-myth-twitch">TSM_Myth</a>, who are essentially playing at the professional level. There are popular streamers, like <a href="https://www.twitch.tv/videos/252203259">Kaceytron</a>, who are talented players, but focused heavily on entertaining through streaming. Then there are unspoken heroes, like <a href="https://www.twitch.tv/videos/258448158">ProtoFTW</a>, a popular streamer well known in the <em>Fortnite</em><em> </em>community for his Twitch account and uncanny ability to create very impressive memes. </p>
<p>Memes are crucial to a culture’s success. <em>Fortnite </em>is a perfect example. The game undergoes frequent updates, and those changes to the game give players plenty of opportunity to tinker with editing, creating valuable memes in the process. <em>Fortnite’</em>s most recent update, for example, introduced ridable shopping carts. The community did not disappoint. </p>

<p>The above meme accomplishes a lot in a short period of time. It combines <em>Fortnite’</em>s new shopping cart, the popular <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MSENH3FE2As">“Shooting Stars” meme</a> and even some <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QH2-TGUlwu4">Nyan Cat</a> vibes. It’s a culmination of spending far too much time on the internet, watching stupid videos and wanting to contribute to the trend. </p>
<p>ProtoFTW’s video is easily one of the better memes to come out in the past 24 hours, but other people found their own way to have fun with <em>Fortnite’</em>s shopping cart. Mashups based on <a href="https://www.polygon.com/2015/4/6/8353637/michael-bay-furious-7"><em>Furious 7</em></a><em> </em>and <a href="https://www.polygon.com/2015/8/31/9190443/mad-max-review-ps4-playstion-4-xbox-one-pc-windows"><em>Mad Max: Fury Road</em></a><em> </em>have also found their way to YouTube and Reddit.</p>

<p>There are <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t7x7zJQW1Dc">covers of a popular <em>Family Guy </em>joke</a> alongside the typical childish debauchery that an addition like the shopping cart will bring to the game. Players are discovering new gameplay methods to use with the shopping cart — including equipping and firing off an RPG backwards to get more speed while riding the cart. Still, it’s hard to contest <em>Fortnite’</em>s best use of the shopping cart is to create the most imaginative, and silliest, memes. </p>
<p>And remember — more than one person can ride a shopping cart, so don’t let imaginary restrictions stop you from creating a true piece of glitchy, digital art. </p>
