Honestly, theories against the time-travel conspiracy pretty much fell flat. We'll have to conclude that a gang of sus imposters from the future went back in time to spread paranoia and confusion.

There are more 'chungus among us' tweets from the past

via @sheelgetshyphy

Although a specific search shows that @elpablogrande's tweet is the earliest instance of a seemingly clairvoyant and very sus reference to 'chungus among us,' there are a handful of others who have made several tweets over the years. Which begs the question, did these tweets predict the memes, or were the memes a result of something that had already been seeded into the zeitgeist?
