Planking (fad)

Planking is a fad that gained popularity in the early 2010s, characterized by the act of lying face down in an unusual or incongruous location, with the body rigid and the arms at the sides, resembling a plank. The idea was to take a photograph of the person planking in various settings, often in humorous or absurd circumstances. The trend originated in Australia and quickly spread to other countries, leading to a variety of interpretations and viral videos.
