The battle between Wall Street investors and Redditors from the popular subreddit r/WallStreetBets has commanded public interest, even for those outside of the financial bubble and completely unfamiliar with terms like "short."

The past 24 hours have been neatly captured online with great analysis and explainer — and even better, the memes haven't stopped.

While those in the know debate the implications, others remain confused. However, they have managed to gather a general sense of what's going on and are picking sides.

Mainly, they are calling for the rich to be eaten.

Even with very little understanding, people are rooting for WallStreetBets, which gained an extra million members in just one day as it launched its move to push up the price of GameStop stock.

All of this talk of manipulating Wall Street has me more confused than anything else. High-stakes gambling seems highly stressful. Making billionaires freak out is something I can get behind, though, so these chips might fall in interesting places.

And as ever, some people are just continuing to nod and smile as it all plays out.
