Paris Hilton Asked Fans To Tell Her Something She Doesn’t Know & Wow, They Sure Did

Sometimes, the caption on a photo shared on Twitter is just a caption, but others, it's an invitation to start a truly incredible (and educational) meme. Over the weekend, Paris Hilton's "tell me something I don't know" meme took social media by storm, and not only have more 11,000 people responded to her original post, but even celebrities like Tyra Banks are jumping on the bandwagon.

If you're out of the loop, prepare to be introduced to your new favorite thing on the internet. Basically, this whole thing started last Thursday, when Hilton posted a photo of herself wearing a fur coat with an expression on her face that made it look like she was lost in thought. "Tell me something I don't know," she tweeted alongside the photo.

This could have easily just been a tweet that Hilton posted and then everyone forgot about, but instead, it's now legendary. Her followers took her request very seriously, and before long, people started replying with actual facts that they're assuming that Hilton (and to be honest, most other people) wouldn't already know. It doesn't seem like she was expecting this, but isn't that how all the best memes are born?

There are already so many amazing responses to Hilton's tweet, ranging from funny to actually very interesting. And even though this totally could have gone haywire, a lot of the tweets have actually inspired a few wholesome exchanges from people who are happy to learn.
