Aggrieved over mass layoffs and unprecedented changes in Twitter, a Philadelphia man has been archiving a plethora of meme formats to chaff the company, in case the acclaimed site gets shut down.

Nathan Allebach, a creative director, has been saving meme formats for last three years in a Google document.

“I periodically update this google doc that has almost every twitter meme template from over the years. If the ship goes down you can hold onto these overused jokes, as a treat,” Nathan wrote on Twitter while sharing the Google document he created.
