What this was
The Swedish reenactor Artur Hulu, posting as Gaius Flavius, wrote in August 2023 that women had no idea how often men think about the Roman Empire. By September the format was everywhere: a phone turned on a boyfriend, a father, a brother, and an answer somewhere between weekly and daily.
It first appeared in 2023, during short-form and streams.

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.
