Original Context

How It Became a Meme

  1. Earliest appearance sources report. That isn't proof it was the first. Source
  2. TIME dates the viral online upload, separate from the earlier fair interview. Source
  3. Revisited in Firefox's October 2026 comeback campaign. That's a campaign cameo, not a new 2026 meme. Source

How People Use It
