Not that it's the first time, but Dolly Parton is currently dominating the internet — and in a rather unexpected way, too. The country icon recently shared an original meme of herself with four different photos in a grid, and each one illustrates the different ways people present themselves on various social media platforms, namely LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, and Tinder. Dolly captioned the post, "Get you a woman who can do it all."

Within a few days, Dolly's post received over 700,000 likes, and celebrities including Mark Ruffalo, Kerry Washington, Jessica Chastain, and Dolly's own goddaughter, Miley Cyrus, started participating by submitting their own takes on what is now being called the Dolly Parton Challenge. Now that you get the gist, check out a few other funny examples ahead.
