This might be the most 2020 thing ever.

A man who calls himself “Paul” on his Twitter account tweeted a picture of an oddly-shaped tomato that has very defined human facial features. Seemed rather harmless until Twitter saw that it looked eerily similar to NBA legend Larry Bird.

Thus, Bird’s name began to trend all over social media as people made sure he was still alive, only to find out it was because of a tomato.
