First of all, good thing that you ignored the other imageboard, because I’m appearently an idiot. Didn’t realize that the date of the posts were switched around, meaning it isn’t from 2006 at all. Stupid mistake, sorry. Makes my anime origin even less likely. Regarding the article, I still think you should add that 2deep4u was used in 2008 on /a/ sourced by foolz archive. It not only predates the blogpost, but also by the time of the blogpost the phrase was already frequently used on other boards like...

Assuming it actually is from 2007. Is there any source to that? But still, I can trace the scuba diver back to at least 2003. Check this out And just now I found a drum n bass record from 1998 called 2deep4u: Honestly, the phrase in itself is so generic, that it could have easily come up on several occasions independently from each other. It’s usage on the internet still points to /a/ imho. Oh, I just found something else A post on an obscure imageboard referencing the continued usage of 2deep4u in...

Good idea, thanks! Anyway here’s a minor one: Feels bad man / Sad Frog Link to the article Just some earlier sources:Pepe with the inverted mouth almost one year before the source in the article. The first reaction image of the new sad frog drawing I could find from April 2009 Around late may 2009 the first “You will never” pics including the frog start to pop up:Mostly focused on “japanese school life” (goddammit /a/). and so on.variations.June and so on and so on. I also found that pic from the...

You need to reupload that pic to imgur or something else. You can’t link directly to 4chan pics.

Troll science/ Troll physics That one is in some way easier, in some way more exhausting. First of all, let’s put anything Reddit related regarding this to rest and confirm the rumors regarding 4chan. Here is the earliest souce I could find: May 10th 2010 . As we see from the original link (http://images.4chan.org/b/src/1273520839004.png) this pic was saved from /b/. Hard to say if it originated there. These kind of pics were a staple on 4chan’s /sci/, were it was actually used to kind of annoy people....

As suggested I’m opening a new thread mostly to point out older sources for a few articles (it’s possible I won’t go through everything today). Let’s start with: That Really Rustled My Jimmies As it comes to no surprise, neither phrase nor image macro actually originated on Funnyjunk. The earliest instance on foolz archive has a post on /tv/ from February 2010, where the image macro was used an every post that used it since then. Though as we see from the filename (126479446092.jpg), this isn’t the...

I’ve never gotten a reaction, be it comment or suggestion, but nevermind. I will probably just make a new thread with some of the sources I’ve found (if I still can recall them), as you suggested. Thanks!

Regarding your article, the usage of this phrase actually goes back way further than 2010. Check out these two links: http://archive.foolz.us/_/search/text/%222%20deep%204%20u%22/order/asc/ http://archive.foolz.us/_/search/text/%222deep4u%22/order/asc/ I actually haven’t found usage of the phrase outside of /a/ before 2008, except some user with the nickname 2deep4u on a German diver board. I hope you can still correct the article. I usually get ignored when I send authors corrections or older...
