About

Change Da World… My Final Message refers to an image macro series featuring bizarre characters captioned with the catchphrase "Change da world… my final message. Goodb ye." After the first iteration featuring a rat smoking a cigarette spread, a Twitter user made a video edit pairing the image with audio, leading to the creation of multiple other iterations.

Origin

The origin of the image is unclear. The rat appeared in /r/CursedImages[1] on August 25th, 2018 (shown below, left).

Several months later, on October 12th, Tumblr [4] user dawatercup shared the image with the phrase "Change da world… my final message. Goodb ye" written in a digitally-altered, blue and white caption box. The post received more than 27,000 notes in less than one year (shown below, right).

Spread

On November 14th, 2018, the rat paired with the caption appeared on Imgur.[2] On August 16th, 2019, Twitter[3] user @comfygang posted a video of the image set to audio (post deleted). The clip uses a robotic voice reading the text over the song "White Noiz" from JungleJungle: 1989 – 1999 Sample Pack[5] and the Windows 95 PC start-up sound. On January 19th, 2021, Twitter[6] user @st1llstand posted a number of images and videosrelated to @comfygang's involvement with the meme (shown below).

The clip inspired others to remake the image with various other characters and set the image to comfygang's audio. Other examples include a video posted by Nitro.IF that gained over 6,400 views (shown below, left) and an example posted by Lemon'sMemes that showed Nelson the Bull Terrier that gained over 1,600 views (shown below, right).

    Note: there is no Windows 95 shutdown sound. You refer to da startup sound instead.

    I ended up looking through the wayback machine for the deleted Twitter URL.

    And I found it: https://web.archive.org/web/20190901181059/https:/twitter.com/comfygang/status/1162411014639489024

    Man this feels so… unsettling. The robotic voice feels like it would actually be a part of windows 95, but I know it's not. There's something oddly nostalgic about it, even though it's not actually old. Then the analog synths that sound like they belong in a 90s house or jungle track gives it even more of a nostalgic feeling. On top of that, the text looks like something from a mid 90s RPG game. The best way I can describe this is "lost art". It gives off the feeling that you've found something that was completely lost though time.
    And then there's the message. It sounds as if someone from the past is telling you that he found something horrible but he can't directly tell you what it is, so he leaves off with the ominous message "change the world" as a sort of warming.
    The actual origin of this meme is even more unsettling, you can read it here https://youtu.be/Ee0s_H4SpXw it's the pinned comment.

    "the track isnt actually white noiz but some crap arp that was sampled off a jungle track from the 90s i shat over with effects".

    Huh, I thought it was legit a video game reference with bad voice acting, like the "Goodbye friends." of house of the dead 2.
