Twitter is well-known for having an astounding rate of incredible hot takes that inevitably set off a chain of discourse that defines the website for a day (see: Twitter's main character).

Every once in a while, the discourse accelerates so quickly that all of a sudden, multiple terms you've never heard before are all there is to think about, as hot take after hot take is fired into your brain in rapid succession thanks to Twitter's habit of amplifying the most opinionated voices on the most controversial topics.

That brings us to this incredible tweet posted Monday by one @gnosticmilf:

If you haven't been on Twitter in the past week (and if so, we are very jealous of you), this tweet may as well be written in pig Latin. What do American arms manufacturer Lockheed Martin, comedian Nathan Fielder and some guy dubbed "Peach Husband" have in common with each other? Why is "she" Lockheed Martining on "my" Nathan Fielder until "I" Peach Husband? Why is this Twitter user screaming this as they fall to their death?

Here, we'll attempt to explain every nuance of this tweet, Reply All-style, so that you too can feel what it's like to have your brain poisoned from being terminally online.

Part 1: The Format

The first thing to understand about @gnosticmilf's tweet is the syntax. "She X on my Y til I Z" is a popular Twitter phrasal template of late. It finds people attempting to break down all the parts of a specific name or famous phrase into a sex pun. Though many of these attempts are unsuccessful, part of the meme's charm is that it often fails so spectacularly that the failure is the humor in itself.


The format proved perfect for @gnosticmilf's tweet, capturing both the snowclone's tendency to not make any actual sense and the wildness of its three subjects trending on Twitter together.

As for our header, that comes from a reply to gnosticmilf by Twitter user soundinsect, who fit the tweet into a parody of Oh Joy Sex Toy's "Cuck" Comic, a notorious webcomic about the joys of cuck play that turned into an incredible meme itself.

Part 2: Lockheed Martin

Over the weekend, it was revealed that young adult author and minor Twitter personality Ana Mardoll worked at American arms manufacturer Lockheed Martin for 15 years. This information came out through doxxing done by the Kiwi Farms community. Mardoll freely revealed that the job was a nepotism hire and he stayed on because it gave him health insurance and allowed him to work 10-20 hours a week.

The situation was a bizarre whirlwind of controversy, particularly because several tweeters came to Mardoll's defense and argued it was "ableist" to criticize him for working at the notorious arms manufacturer.

Mardoll previously grew infamous on Twitter for attempting to make the point that requiring writers to be literate is 'ableist.' The defenses certainly compounded the issue, as seemingly everyone who attempted to defend Mardoll inadvertently made the case against him worse.

Mardoll deleted his Twitter account amidst the recent controversy.

Part 3: Nathan Fielder

While the "Ana Mardoll-Lockheed Martin" drama was happening, a parallel discourse surrounded Nathan Fielder, whose new show The Rehearsal recently began streaming on HBO Max.

In The Rehearsal, Fielder ostensibly tries to help real people who need to have a difficult conversation by creating replicas of the places they will have said conversation and meticulously rehearsing every detail of the evening. For example, in the first episode, a man wants to confess to a friend that he lied about getting a Master's degree and only has a Bachelor's, so Fielder recreates the bar that the conversation will take place in and plans every detail of the night to ensure the conversation goes smoothly.

Of course, the comedy of the series comes from the fact that the people Nathan interacts with and "helps" are very "strange," to put it mildly. One man wants to convince his brother that his new girlfriend isn't a golddigger and repeatedly says she's not "Jewish" about money. Another woman refuses to let her "son" celebrate Halloween because it's "the most Satanic holiday" (it's actually rooted in the Celtic tradition Samhain). To every bizarre thing his "clients" say, Fielder keeps a straight face, essentially letting his clients dig their own graves on national television.

While the show has been widely praised by critics after its first few episodes, not everyone is enamored with the show. Some have argued that Fielder is manipulative, cruel and exploitative for letting these peoples' natural bizarreness shine untouched. New Yorker critic Richard Brody wrote a scathing review of the show to this effect last Saturday. Some on Twitter expressed similar sentiments.


Once word got around that people were criticizing Fielder, a far greater amount of people came to his defense, essentially arguing that people who didn't enjoy the premise of The Rehearsal were nerds.

In essence, the Nathan Fielder discourse of the past week is what will continue to happen so long as Fielder is making television — some people won't dig it, and everyone else will pile on and call those people dorks.

Part 4: Peach Husband

Arguably the funniest controversy of the three referenced in @gnosticmilf's tweet is that of "Peach Husband," aka the man in the newly viral Momlife Comics webcomic series. In mid-July, the Instagram webcomic account momlife_comics, run by one Mary Catherine Starr, posted a comic meant to showcase the "difference" between herself and her husband. In the comic, the writer looks at a peach and thinks she will save it for her kids and the husband thinks he will have it for himself.


It wasn't until July 29th that Twitter user @rajandelman posted several strips from momlife_comics in which the punchline seemed to be "I hate my husband and kids" that the comic began spreading on social media.


The Wine Mom martyrism-vibe of the webcomic elicited eye rolls from many who soon took to memeing the strips, particularly the "Peach Husband" strip that started it all.

It didn't help that as her comics began getting criticized on social media, the author of momlife_comics attempted to step in and say that she thinks "Ben" is an "amazing husband and father" and listed many of his positive qualities.

In a blog post, she noted how Ben "does a lot around the house," including "doing all of the grocery shopping" (which would mean he bought the infamous peach), "cooking all their dinners," "paying all of the bills," "maintaining the yard," "all of his own laundry" and coming home early so Starr can teach yoga.

The side effect of Starr's damage control is that she essentially proved her husband is a terrific man who many felt didn't deserve the portrayal she was giving him in her comics.

Currently, momlife_comics is posting Taylor Swift lyrics and attempting to spread positivity on her page. Her most recent post states that her comics are "not about husband-bashing but about pointing out the mental load of motherhood and the unequal expectations for moms vs. dads in our culture."

Part 5: Why Is @gnosticmilf Hurling Herself To Her Death After Screaming "She Lockheed Martin On My Nathan Fielder Until I Peach Husband?"

I mean, wouldn't you?
