In a video posted on Reddit’s WallStreetBets forum, a man swings a long, steep slide with his arms around, before crashing into the muddy ground. He then sits dazed.

The tongue-in-cheek meme contains some truth. Over the past few weeks, many stocks that have risen WallStreetBets ‘to the moon’ have crashed on Earth. Forum fave GameStop Corp. closed at $ 52.40 on Friday, down from an intraday peak of nearly $ 500, just over two weeks ago.
