The '0 Days Without' meme originates from the long-running animated series The Simpsons, frequently appearing in scenes involving the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant. It features Lenny Leonard standing next to a workplace safety sign that typically tracks how many days have passed without an accident. In the show, the counter is frequently reset due to Homer Simpson's incompetence. Online, the template evolved into a satirical tool used to mock people or communities who cannot go a single day without a specific controversy, obsession, or predictable behavior. It remains a staple of internet culture for highlighting inevitable failures or repetitive trends.
