The 'Wants To Know Your Location' meme originated from the standard browser permission pop-up used by websites to access a user's GPS data. It became a viral sensation in early 2018 when users began pairing the notification window with screenshots of bizarre, hyper-specific, or suspicious activities. The humor lies in the implication that a higher authority—like the FBI, Google, or the Illuminati—has instantly detected the user's odd behavior and is closing in. It remains a staple reaction for 'cursed' content and moments of extreme intelligence or suspicious luck.
