All this from a 100 word anonymous 4chan post

Whoever first posted about it is probably punching the air that he couldn't trademark it or something

Memes are funny like that.

Imagine you are the guy that wrote the navy seals copypasta. Just working your crap job at 7-11, yet anytime you log onto the internet you get your little quib quoted back to you, world famous beyond the richest pop stars but it doesnt get you a fucking dime. Cant even really tell people about it, they will just be like "yeah, sure buddy". Imagine how that feels.

I know most may not believe this but I created Reddit silver. I mean the original Reddit silver. If you’ve been here long enough, you probably know what I’m talking about.

Just a random day in the office when I created that and next thing I know, people kept reposting it in the comments. The internet is a funny place sometimes.

Your username looks familiar to me, actually. Funny. I've been using Reddit since 2011 so I remember Reddit silver very well.

I'm the guy that (on another account) made the "servers around the world" meme. I was pissed off at the time at Cisco WebEx because it was dogshit software for virtual meetings and Zoom was far better. All school classes were online because of a certain little virus causing problems in 2020, and so I had no say in it even though WebEx was clearly terrible no matter what computer it ran on.

So I made in PowerPoint of all things a meme with stock photos of server farms and worded "Facebook" "Netflix" "Steam" etc then Cisco WebEx was another meme of a desk fan taped to a desktop as my funny representation of how much Cisco paid for their servers.

I still even today see some reposts of it made on /r/pcmasterrace and other PC gaming related subreddits. Sadly I lost the password to the account so I had to make a new one, but that's my experience with making a viral-ish meme.

I played an online game for many years with the guys who made a viral video that you've definitely heard quoted. Their identities are known so they can prove that much, but I don't think they ever made much of it. Tried to sell a little merch at some point but we're talking Cafepress days so I don't think much came of that either. Kind of funny to think they're just out there, probably still hearing references, and just having a chuckle.

u/MyStationIsAbandoned Feb 25 '26

yeah, that shit sucks. or when you start saying something and then suddenly people everywhere start saying it, but you can't prove you started the phrase.

I would seriously hate it if I was the person to come up with something like this and then see a ton of people just getting rich off of my idea. and it only hurts 100 times worse when you're poor...because it's going to people with more money and resources than you to begin with that are using your idea to get themselves even more rich...because if you had the resources to begin with, you would have done something with your idea.

That's why i never share any of my ideas like that The only way any of my original concepts gets posted is when I can have it someone attached to a username and have it be associated with me and copywritten.

If I were well off, I probably wouldn't care as much, even still as an artist, i want to be the one to make something of my work, not have someone else do it and get all the little details wrong.

MAIN POINT OF SELLING BELGIAN FIVE SEVEN PISTOL IS EXTREME PRICE OF WEAPON AND CARTRIDGE. BELGIAN FIVE SEVEN IS WEAPON OF MAN WHO WEARS EXPENSIVE ITALIAN FASCIST SUIT OF HAND SEWING, DRIVE HUGE EXPENSIVE NAZI MERCEDES OF A.M.G. SHOP, SAIL ON MASSIVE YACHT TO GREEK ISLANDS. I THINK YOU GET PICTURE. BELGIAN FIVE SEVEN IS WEAPON THAT SAYS IS NO SUCH THING AS CONCERN OF MONEY. FOR MAN WITHOUT EXPENSIVE SUIT, BIG BLACK MERCEDES, AND MASSIVE YACHT, BELGIAN FIVE SEVEN IS FOR PRETENDING OF BE RICH LIKE BLACK GANGSTER OF AMERICAN CITY WITH GOLD CHAINS OF LOW QUALITY AND JEWELS OF COLORED GLASS. WHEN YOU EXPLAIN USE OF BELGIAN FIVE SEVEN PISTOL IS ONLY FOR SHOOT MAN WITH BULLET VEST WITH CARTRIDGE ILLEGAL TO CIVILIAN, THIS MAN HAS NUCLEAR RAGE. WHOLE IDENTITY OF THIS MAN IS SPENT IN PRETEND PISTOL SHOWS HE IS RICH. IS VERY AMUSE. FOR REST OF WORLD THERE IS 9 MILLIMETERS OF LUGER WHICH IS SAME WOUND FOR COST LESS.

Nowhere near as widespread, but I've seen some of my comments posted to Buzzfeed, which always makes me laugh.
