Da Share Z0Ne is a satirical Twitter account started in 2015 that posts word-art image macros of flaming skeletons, motorcycles, and heavy-metal iconography paired with all-caps captions signed by a fictional character called Admin. The account parodies the aesthetic of angry hyper-masculine internet graphics while quietly pushing progressive opinions about weed, cops, and paper towels.
Origin
The @dasharez0ne Twitter account launched on September 1st, 2015, and posted its first image on May 13th, 2016, a skeleton sitting on a toilet with a scatological all-caps caption[4]. The person or group behind Da Share Z0Ne is unknown, though a viral January 19th, 2019 tweet from user @nopoweradeinusa claimed a rotating team of writers had run the account before internal drama collapsed the crew when one member allegedly flirted with another member's wife[4].

Overview
Da Share Z0Ne is a Twitter account that posts word-art image macros of flaming skeletons, motorcycles, and other heavy-metal iconography paired with all-caps captions signed by a fictional character named Admin[3]. The visual style mixes clashing novelty fonts, deliberate misspellings, and rendered fire, poking fun at the aesthetic of angry 2000s-era hyper-masculine internet graphics[1].
The humor pairs badass metal imagery with earnest liberal opinions about legal weed, penguin births, safe spaces, and paper towels[3]. Daily Dot described the account's irony as cranked so high that conventional instruments cannot measure it[1]. Da Share Z0Ne only follows three other accounts, Harley-Davidson, AC/DC, and a misspelled Eminem handle, which it calls the holy three[1].
How It Spread
By mid-2016, Daily Dot called Da Share Z0Ne the best Twitter account of the year, arguing that the flaming-skeleton aesthetic hid explicitly progressive politics about consent and immigration[1]. In 2017, Mic included one of the account's posts at position 90 on a ranked list of 101 canonical tweets, specifically the skeleton-mountain image insulting a Dyson Air Blade hand dryer[2].
The fictional Admin character gave an in-character interview to Newsweek in early 2018, answering every question in all-caps and naming legal weed and penguin births as favorite topics[3]. By that point the account had grown to nearly 85,000 followers[3]. Admin also promoted a Kickstarter for a comedy party card game called The Devil's Level, launched January 22nd, 2018, featuring contributions from other online figures like Dril and KC Green[3]. The campaign pulled in more than $225,000 from over 3,600 backers within a year[4]. A YouTube trailer for the game posted on April 20th, 2018[5].
How to Use
Fans typically build their own Da Share Z0Ne-style images by layering a skeleton or flaming metal illustration under an all-caps caption that mixes several loud novelty fonts, obvious misspellings, and blunt earnest sentiment about topics like rent, work, or basic manners. Captions often close with the signature -ADMIN[3].
