On January 29th, Elmo came to X (at this point, all of us probably know it was Twitter, so no need to say it, right?) to ask people how they were doing. And the answers to this simple tweet were a dumpster fire of emotions. More info: X

Interestingly, the Elmo character has very deep lore. For example, it is known that his birthday is February 3rd. And people know his extensive family tree. His parents’ names are Louie and Mae, while his sister is Daisy. And that’s just the beginning. There’s a whole list of Elmo’s cousins, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and so on. Netizens came to the comments with their existential crises. Many of them told Elmo how unwell they were doing, from simply feeling kind of sad to feeling like they’re at their limit. Well, if people are feeling this way, we can’t tell them to feel differently, right? At the same time, maybe it’s not the month’s but the world state’s fault. After all, the Doomsday clock, which represents the probability of a human-made global catastrophe, is only 90 seconds to midnight (which represents said catastrophe). Oof. This quickly took a dark turn. Just like the responses to Elmo’s questions. Maybe we should try to turn this Doomsday clock a little bit further from midnight? Or just work on our mental health and wait for this long January to be over. So, how are you doing? How would you answer Elmo’s question? Share with us in the comments!
