Wait, It's All Ohio? Always Has Been is a surreal exploitable meme featuring two astronauts in space, where one discovers that the entire Earth consists of the state of Ohio, leading the second astronaut to reveal it was a secret all along while holding him at gunpoint. The format originated from a 2016 MS Paint drawing on 4chan but saw a massive resurgence in mid-2020 across Twitter and Reddit. It is typically used to satirize shocking revelations where a person finds out a specific entity or concept has dominated the world without their knowledge. The meme’s versatility allows users to replace Ohio with anything from corporate logos to niche subcultures, making it a staple of internet irony.
