About

I Don't Car, also known as Here Is Some Criticism, is an exploitable meme born from a webcomic originally created and posted by artist @constantbageltherapy in mid-2022. The original comic shows a cloud that reads "Here is some criticism" raining down on a person whose speech bubble forms an umbrella that reads, "No thanks." The person is shown to be watering themselves with a can that reads, "I've got my own." A prevalent variation of this meme shows the cloud with Chinese text that translates to "Your English sucks." The image also shows the watering can removed in favor of a speech bubble umbrella that simply reads, "I don't car."

Origin

On May 16, 2022, Instagram^[1] user @constantbageltherapy posted a webcomic that shows a circle, presumably the sun, forming a speech bubble cloud raining down on a smiling person. The cloud reads, "Here's some criticism." The person is shown with a speech bubble umbrella that reads, "No thanks," protecting them from the rain. However, the person is also shown to be watering themselves from a can that reads, "I've got my own." The post gathered over 35,000 likes in two years.

In 2022, the meme traveled to Chinese social media sites where it was translated and altered, as seen in an April 29th, 2022, post by Instagram^[2] user @_jiheehee.

The earliest known post that read, "I don't car" was a November 10th, 2023, post by the Facebook^[3] page @笑死迷因, where it gathered over 4,000 reactions in two years.
