Because apparently this is a thing and I have no idea what it is. Is it good? Is it literally just avocado on toast? I need answers. Asking for a friend.

Try the toast with a thin smear of butter, a fried egg, thinly sliced avocado and a little salt and pepper.  Bonus points if you keep the yolk runny and eat it with a knife and fork.

My family eat avocado toast pretty much every day (this is pretty common here), and yes, is just mashed avocado (with salt, pepper and olive oil) on bread. Sometimes they put scrambled egg or fresh cheese over the avocado.

I eat a lot of avocado (not everyday like a trans-andean maniac)and often of toast, it's easy too make, relatively cheap ( here you can often find an avocado por less than 30 dollar cents iirc)and quite nice.

I usually just spread avocado on toast and then put a bit of salt and pepper, but throwing a fried egg and some old bay seasoning on there is badass

Avocados are bad to begin with imo.

No because I don't like avocado on its own, but the ludicrous attempts that are apparently being made now to represent a slightly-more-expensive-than-average fruit spread over toast as the sine qua non of Millennial Decadence almost make me wish I did.

What about an avocado sandwich? Mashed avocado with salt and queso between two slices of bread - I recommend dark rye bread.

C'mon, it's right there for goodness sake, and it's never gonna get much cheaper than anywhere else in the country.

Yes (not normal?) and it was pretty good, but I don't know why it's become such a thing to mock white millennials about.

I don't like avocade.  It has no taste, so bland.

No, but we fed it to my son quite a bit when he was about a year old.

We were looking for the fattiest fruit available and we discovered early on that it was the avocado.  A regular 150-gram avocado has about 22 grams of fat.  Assuming 9.2 calories of energy per gram of fat, the avocado will provide about 200 calories from fat.  The remaining nutritional is about 3 grams of protein and 12 grams of carbohydrate.  If we assume 4 calories of energy per gram of carbohydrate or protein, then the avocado will provide 60 calories from these sources.  So 200 out of 260 calories are from fat, so about 77% of the energy content of an avocado comes from fat, so it's really a good one for toddlers.  

We put it on toast, on bagels, on noodles, on cereal, etc.  He ate it all.  I generally use them to make guacamole, but ALDI actually has a decent prepared guacamole with enough preservatives that it lasts a couple of days in the refrigerator so we don't make it at home much now.  I have been known put them on sandwiches as well.  They have a pretty short window--eat them a day too early and they're bitter and stiff, a day too late and they're mushy and oxidized--so we don't buy them much anymore.  Also the boy is old enough now that we don't feel the need to force lots of fat into his diet.

No.  I like guacamole, but I really don't like avocado in other uses and really don't get the current avocado craze.  But, I'm a meat-and-potatoes person, so I never understand new food crazes.

As in making it myself so probably sh**tty poor-mans version, then yes. It's delicious.
