# Let's Ride the Mechanism! Let's Ride the Mechanism! is an exploitable image macro showing two Fortnite characters, Evie and Fishstick, staring with open-mouthed excitement at Qatar's under-construction Icon Tower waterslide while declaring they want to break every bone in their bodies on it. iFunny user Schizo_Chopper uploaded the original in August 2022, and by January 2023 Instagram and Twitter accounts were redrawing the setup with cats and Guilty Gear fighters. ## Origin iFunny user Schizo_Chopper uploaded the first Let's Ride the Mechanism! post on August 16, 2022[3]. Evie appears on the left with a speech bubble reading 'Let's break all our bones!' and Fishstick stands on the right saying 'Let's ride the mechanism!' A widely circulated rendering of Icon Tower served as the backdrop, showing a slide then under construction on Qetaifan Island, a $40 billion artificial-island development off Qatar's coast created ahead of the 2022 FIFA World Cup[1]. - **Platform:** iFunny (origin) / Twitter (viral spread) - **Creator:** Schizo_Chopper (iFunny) - **Date:** 2022 ## Overview Fishstick and Evie stand side-by-side in open-mouthed, wide-eyed poses borrowed from the Two Soyjaks Pointing template, aimed at a promotional rendering of Icon Tower at Qatar's Aquatar Water Park on Qetaifan Island[1]. At 279 feet, that structure was marketed as the world's tallest waterslide when the rendering circulated in mid-2022[1], giving the real-world punchline for the characters' stated urge to 'break all their bones' riding 'the mechanism.' Redraws of Let's Ride the Mechanism! typically preserve the pointing composition and the title line while swapping the two Fortnite skins for other characters. Documented variants include a cat edit[7], hand-drawn fan art interpretations shared by Twitter artists in late 2022[4], and a Guilty Gear crossover from January 2023[3]. ## How to Use Pick two characters and draw them side-by-side in the Two Soyjaks Pointing pose, both staring excitedly at a target off-frame or added behind them. Keep one speech bubble as 'Let's ride the mechanism!' and either leave the 'break all our bones' line in place or swap it for another expression of enthusiasm for self-destruction. Common versions include cats and Guilty Gear fighters standing in for Evie and Fishstick. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is Let's Ride the Mechanism!?
