Here at Digg, we try our best to cover the most important and confounding memes that come across the timeline. But the web is littered with tons of great memes that never quite hit the mainstream and instead just bounce around the weird corners of Twitter or Reddit. Enter our recurring feature, Memes, Ranked.
This week, we've got people outing themselves on TikTok, hats Nicole Scherzinger wants and some very serious suggestions for Trump's cabinet.
3. Camera flip
The Meme
Here on the internet, we're exceedingly familiar with people pretending to be a neutral commenter who is "just asking questions," so this TikTok trend where people "accidentally" reveal themselves to be arguing for something that directly benefits them really hits close to home. We particularly like the pet-themed examples though — those guys simply cannot be trusted.
Examples

2. Nicole Scherzinger
The Meme
Ex-Pussycat Doll and TV personality Nicole Scherzinger made headlines recently when she commented on Russell Brand's Instagram post celebrating Trump's election win. Under Brand's photo, in which he wears a MAGA-style hat reading "Make Jesus Great Again," Scherzinger wrote: "Where do I get this hat!!!?"
The singer has since apologized and said that her comment was not "politically related" — but not before people online started editing the screenshot with various iconic/stupid hats from popular culture.

1. Trump's cabinet
The Meme
This week, Donald Trump is expected to fill out his cabinet appointees — but so far, it already includes baffling picks like Fox News host Pete Hegseth. Since it'll take a minute for things to get official, folks online wasted no time making some other selections for him.
