Written by

Selfie has penetrated into all spheres of our lives, so it’s impossible to life a day without taking at least one. But for some devoted fans of this modern trend it’s not enough to take a selfie. That’s how different challenges appear. If you want to be current with the world this text is for you.

Everyone who’s alive and breathing knows all those types of selfies: the regular selfie, a no-makeup selfie, and now there’s the try to high-five yourself and take a selfie at the same time selfie.

People were left so impressed and astonished that he somehow managed to do it (and that he could’ve achieved the same result if he’d just set a timer on his phone). At last count, his original tweet has received 173,086 retweets and 437,513 likes. For Seth, at least, the risk of breaking his phone seems to have translated into 15 minutes of serious Internet fame:

See some of the best examples ahead and try it yourself — and make sure you know what it takes to fix a cracked phone screen in case you fail at this selfie.

Of course, not everybody has been so lucky, but plenty of people are trying. Since the photo went viral, reports of the new trend exploded across the Internet and copycats began popping up like daisies out of the snow.

A quick search on Twitter produces more than a few examples:
