What this was
Deliberately low-effort or aggressively pointless posting, done well enough that the low effort is the joke. Named on Something Awful, exported everywhere, and now the ordinary description of a whole register of internet writing.
It first appeared in 2010, during the social era.

Behind the recordWhere it came from
There is no original to identify: this spread through many separate posts at once rather than from a first one. ViralWorld holds no copy of it either — what it was, when it spread and what people called it is the record.
Nothing here is claimed to be the first version of this, because research established there was not one — it appeared in many places at once.
Not established. This index only names a creator where the evidence supports it.
