expanding brain

Increasing mental capacity

Expanding brain refers to a meme format showing progressively more illuminated or cosmic brain images paired with increasingly absurd, ironic, or galaxy-brained ideas.

The format sarcastically presents ridiculous conclusions as if they were profound insights: Normal brain: using a bookmark. Expanding brain: memorizing the page number. Galaxy brain: just starting the book over.

The term describes any progression from sensible to comically overthought.
