Got stuck on that pancake batter meme going around... what's the deal?

I keep seeing this meme with pancake batter photos all over my feed... usually with text like 'it's a whole mood' or something. I don't get why it's funny or what it's trying to say. It blew up on TikTok first, then spread to other places. My buddies just chuckle when I ask, saying it's an inside joke. But I'm not in on it... feels like I'm missing something. Is there a story behind this or a specific video? Can someone explain so I'm not left out?

My friend showed me that pancake batter trend last Tuesday. I mean, it's like how random daily things become huge online for no reason. Idk, maybe it's just me but we all grab onto these small bits to feel like we're in on something.

Wait, @ninaramirez, that was just last Tuesday?

Totally get what you mean about random stuff going viral out of nowhere. I saw that pancake thing too, and by Thursday my whole feed was full of it. It's wild how one person posts something and suddenly everyone is doing it. I tried it myself, honestly just to see what the fuss was about. The batter came out weird, but I still posted a pic because, well, everyone else was. These trends come and go so fast, but for a few days, it feels like we're all part of the same joke.
