The 'This Place Is Not a Place of Honor' meme originates from a 1993 technical report designed to warn future civilizations about nuclear waste buried at the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant. The text was part of a proposed 'message to the future' intended to communicate danger even if language had evolved beyond recognition. On the internet, the text became a copypasta and meme template used to describe places or situations that are repulsive, poorly managed, or cursed. From messy bedrooms to disastrous software updates, the meme uses its overly dramatic and existential tone to highlight the absolute lack of quality or 'honor' in the subject being mocked.
