I didn’t spend a lot of time on usenet though, but I did spend some.
It was probably bouncing around as in jokes manually passed thing back in the day. Then sometime in the early 00s late 90s it broke containment and spread memetically on forums, at least that seems to be what happened from what I can find.

How the fuck did I never see this. I was gaming on BBS’s and 300baud modems.
Yeah Usenet then IRC. Never saw it on a BBS.
