It's been more than a decade since NBC's Friends took that final walk out of that iconic apartment in NYC that they could never afford in real life.
But that's a discussion for another time.
What brings us here today is an alternate ending for the finale that's making the rounds this week, and would have made for a much darker ending ...
It's not a conclusion that was considered by the producers, rather, Twitter user @strnks put forth a new ending on a purely theoretical basis.
The mind-blowing explanation for Phoebe Buffay (Lisa Kudrow) and her eccentric behavior has gone viral for a reason, though.
The alternate ending/theory is, as follows:
"I'd have ended Friends by revealing it was all the meth-addled fantasy of a homeless Phoebe as she stared through the window of Central Perk."
"Each kooky aside, each time she made everything about her, each example of how she's an outsider ... it all makes sense."
"All 10 seasons were merely her fevered imagination, projecting herself into the lives of the others. All she ever wanted was…Friends.
"The final scene would be Phoebe walking away from Central Perk."
"The Ross, Rachel, Joey, Chandler and Monica characters make a reference to 'the crazy lady who always stares at us.'"
"They all have different names and personalities. Phoebe walks past a furniture store and catches her reflection in a mirror."
"The name of the store? 'Ursula.' Finally she returns to the park where she sleeps in front of the fountain."
"A broken lamp stands next to her bench. It starts to rain. From behind, we see her put up six dirty, but brightly colored umbrellas."
"Fade to black."
Yes, it was all Phoebe's meth-induced hallucinations. It makes so much sense, we're not sure if we can watch it the same way every again.
This isn't the only re-envisioning of Friends to take the web by storm. A Reddit user recently posited that Joey was actually an evil genius.
Another suggested that Ross lost custody of his son, Ben, who quietly vanished in later seasons. Who knows what the web will come up with next.
