"Avengers: Infinity War" is out in theaters and some fans are trying their best to hold back on spoiling the movie for others.
But they still wanted to find a fun way to discuss some of the movie's best one-liners, jokes, and most heartbreaking moments online.
And so "'Avengers' spoilers, but with no context" was born.
Fans started tweeting one to four images sharing memes or photographs alluding to something which holds an emotional impact in the film.
People who have seen the movie would easily understand the images. Those who haven't seen "Infinity War" yet may be utterly confused, but at least they won't have the film's big moments spoiled.
Here are a few of the best.

Confused?
Here's a short breakdown of the meaning behind some of the popular images being shared.
Warning: There are spoilers ahead.
- Rabbit image: Several times throughout "Infinity War," Thor refers to Rocket Raccoon as a rabbit instead of a raccoon. We guess he's never seen a raccoon before.
- Piles of dust / allusions to people fading away: At the movie's end, half the world's population disappears, and quite literally turns to dust. We see a lot of our beloved heroes vanish before our eyes. You can read our explanation on the movie's end here.
- Bubbles: Any time Gamora tries to make an escape or have herself killed from her adoptive father's grasp, Thanos turns any bullets or weapon that threaten Gamora into friendly bubbles.
- Squidward: Ebony Maw, one of the Children of Thanos, is told that he resembles the "Spongebob Squarepants" character.
- Memes from "Captain Phillips" saying, "Look at me. I'm the captain now": Rocket Raccoon declares himself the captain of the "Guardians of the Galaxy." And by the end of the movie, he's the only character left from the group.
- Photos of "Doctor Who" saying "I don't want to go": Peter Parker's final words to Tony Stark before he turns into ash.
- Images of Death/the Grim Reaper: When Thanos and Gamora seek the soul stone, they run into a character who looks like Death, but it turns out to be Red Skull.
- Multiple images of one character: Doctor Strange uses a spell to multiply into dozens of versions of himself against Thanos.
- Photos of flying donuts: The ships the "Avengers: Infinity War" villains use look like giant flying donuts.
- Spongebob Squarepants surrounded by pins: There's a scene from the trailers that show Doctor Strange in a similar, painful situation.
Even "Guardians of the Galaxy" and "Infinity War" actor Dave Bautista appeared to give an "Avengers" spoiler without context before it was a thing on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!"
Before the film's release, Bautista was talking about how he went to see "Deadpool" when it came out and said that nobody recognized him.
"It's weird, I have this ability to blend in. I know it seems weird, but I swear it's true," said Bautista.
You can watch the clip here.
If you watch that scene after seeing "Infinity War," it seems like Bautista was giving away his own little wink to a scene of his from the "Avengers" movie.
There's a part where he's idly watching Gamora and Peter Quill during a tender moment. When they notice him standing there, Drax tells them that he has an uncanny ability to make himself invisible. Naturally, he's told that's not true at all.
If you've seen "Infinity War," you can enjoy the spoilers without context as they continue to be shared online.
