If Moses had delivered the Ten Commandments in 2017, he would have left two specifically relating to Instagram: don’t double tap when you’re 86 weeks deep, and don’t leave hella thirsty comments on someone’s post if you’re old enough to be their father.

It’s a pair of guidelines that celebrity chef Jamie Oliver could have used yesterday.

Oliver — the cookbook author, father-of-five, and now-certified Instagram lurker — was caught out last night leaving a questionable comment on Lorde’s most recent post.

The singer had posted a photo of herself looking nice on a balcony, with the caption “in Oslo looking like a president’s wife or some shit.” Nothing out of the ordinary… until someone spotted this comment from Oliver: “Your funny babe hope your well j.”

Now, this could have been totally innocent — but it feels like pretty creepy comment to leave for someone who’s 22 years your junior.

So naturally, Twitter had a field day:

Lorde has yet to respond.
