It’s a springtime Saturday, with the weather finally warming up for a lot of folks. Sounds like the perfect day for brunch with friends, right? Wrong. Instagram is down, and it’s causing a panic among aspiring food photographers. Just look at these poor lost souls.

Instagram is down? What am I supposed to do with my food? Eat it?

I genuinely can live my life without Instagram. How am I meant to post my dinner tonight?

I took Instagram hostage and will not release the feed issue until someone delivers me bacon and eggs. These are my demands.

If a man tries to Instagram his breakfast while Instagram is down did he even eat breakfast at all?

Instagram is down. Hipsters are staring at cups of flat white asking "What do I do with it now? What do you mean 'drink it'?"

All of this is to say nothing of the people stranded at Coachella with no way of communicating fake-patina-tinged transmissions to the waiting world. This must be what it felt like when Apollo astronauts lost contact with NASA while they orbited the dark side of the moon.
Godspeed, Instagrammers.
