Adiós Wormhole is a photo of an Arab man in red colored, presumably Durag dress going in a wormhole and a white text saying "Adiós", meaning "Farewell". It is used when a specific context makes farewell as a result of the unfortunate or consequential action by someone.
Origin[]
There was a picture of a man walking to wormhole on a website called Cuded on September 12, 2012. The image is credited to Imaginary Foundation "a think tank from Switzerland that does experimental research on new ways of thinking and the power of the imagination." The original image features a person walking through the wormhole with a bag in their hand.
On February 7th, 2020, Tumblr user crtter shared the image in response to a screenshot from the video game Pokémon Go. The post received more than 128,000 notes in less than one year.
An unknown user posted the edited version on Facebook. The origin of the image is unknown. It was then reposted on Twitter. User @reactjpg posted it with a caption saying: "man in Durag and giant clothes entering wormhole in space adios".
The origin of the Adios image, however, is unknown. However, less than one month after the image on Tumblr went viral, the image of the man in red began appearing online. The earliest available version was published by the Facebook account shitpostingconstickers on March 6th, 2020.
