      I’ve seen this meme format for years now, but never understood it. Why are they just floating in space? Why is one killing the other?

      I get this individual meme…I just don’t get the format.

        The original is something like “it’s all Ohio” “always has been”. The globe shown is just a large landmass that looks like Ohio. They’re probably astronauts since you’d have to be in space to see it. The astronaut killing the other has the Ohio flag on them and is killing them for knowing too much.

          Wow, I have so much more context now. And honestly, it’s actually a lot funnier than I thought it was, thanks.

        When you finally see the big picture, you have to die because you know too much.

        Never did understand it either and always just saw it and then saw it so often that it just became normal

        I had to look it up myself to see where the origin of it came from

        Know Your Meme is always a great resource for this kind of stuff … thanks for asking because it made me look it up and find out for myself because I never knew the origin of it all.
