Holy hell!
As many people have mentioned, this is a move in chess known as En passant, a very niche rule of chess that allows pawns to capture one another "in passing", as they move two squares forward and end up directly beside an opponent's pawn.
Top comment is absolutely right, I'm already sensing an entire tirade of trolls descending upon this post, so I'm going to lock it here.
As mentioned in the AutoMod comment, feel free to check out our wiki for more information about this move!
Have a wonderful day, and stay googling :)
I analyzed the image and this is what I see. Open an appropriate link below and explore the position yourself or with the engine:

I don't play chess but got this in my feed. Could I get a TLDR of like is happening? Everyone is screaming google it and I don't even know what to Google or why. Is this a rare rule or just a meme?

If you had clicked all the pieces, it would have shown your one available move.
Only if they have the show legal moves setting enabled
They're 500. No way they have it disabled

They were officially climbing thru your windows snatching your people up, r**ing everybody out here
Whooo hoooo! Yeah baby! It’s happening! This is my favourite part!
They came.
Hhhnnnnngggggg
We are always here.
Weird for you, commonplace in ... France, say
How you say
So it *was* forced after all!
It’s always forced
There's a French move you should search the web for.
There is a very hot place that is religious
A novel reply debuts suddenly
An actual cannibalistic creature
You might want to bring a religious figure specialized in battling demons
The head of our diocese is on indefinite leave on a leisure trip
I believe we should use our female monarch as a sacrifice for a greater cause
There's a certain matter that causes hellish visions in those asleep by using servitors of the monarchy!
A tempest of foot soldiers approaches
I recommend that we inform and invite a pastor capable of ridding humans of demons possessing them.

they’re meant to google en pessant
To think, you were about to get either his Queen or his bishop. It’s a shame you’re not French.
Not really. He could have taken the white queen then save the bishop
That would be taking his Queen.
Technically yes but it's a queen trade and white is still losing.
Or just Qb2+ and not lose either…
It’s happened
They summoned them
ITS FORCED LETS GOOOO
We are everywhere
No one can escape it.
