The 'Nothing Ever Happens' meme is a cynical staple of internet culture, primarily originating from imageboards like 4chan. It serves as a defiant counter-response to 'doomposting' or sensationalist media cycles that predict world-changing catastrophes or political upheavals that never actually occur. Often featuring a stoic or bored-looking character, the meme captures the exhaustion of being constantly told that a major event is imminent, only for life to continue exactly as before. It is frequently used to mock 'hopium,' over-the-top conspiracy theories, or news stories that fail to live up to their hype, solidifying its place as the ultimate dismissive reaction for the modern skeptic.
