Okay, so, about this “rule 24 video” thing. I gotta say, it was a wild ride from start to finish. It all started when I stumbled upon this list called “Rules of the Internet.” I mean, who knew there were actual rules, right?
I started by skimming through the list, and rule 24 caught my eye. “Every repost is always a repost of a repost.” It got me thinking, how deep does this rabbit hole go? I decided to test it out. I picked a random meme, a pretty old one, and started my mission. My goal was to trace it back to its original source, or at least as far back as I could go.
- First, I used some reverse image search tools, you know, the usual suspects.
- Then, I dug through old forums and message boards. Some of these places were like digital ghost towns.
- I even braved the depths of 4chan, which was… an experience, to say the least.
The deeper I went, the weirder it got. I found versions of the meme in different languages, with different captions, and even some hand-drawn copies. It was like an archaeological dig, but with internet junk instead of ancient artifacts. I documented each step by taking screenshots and making a big timeline on a board. I felt a little crazy, but it was also kinda fun.
The Result
After days of searching, I finally hit a dead end. The trail went cold on some obscure website that was probably last updated in the early 2000s. I couldn’t find the original source, but I realized something. Rule 24 was spot on. This meme had been reposted and remixed so many times, its origin was lost to the digital abyss. I made a video about my whole adventure, showing all the different versions I found and explaining the whole process. I called it “rule 24 video” as my own summary.
The internet is a strange and wonderful place, full of layers upon layers of content. Trying to find the source of anything is like trying to find a needle in a haystack the size of a planet. But hey, at least I got a cool story out of it, and maybe learned a little something about the nature of online content. You know, don’t take anything too seriously, everything is just a copy of a copy. And if you’re ever bored, try tracing a meme back to its roots. It’s a wild ride, I promise.
