About

Me Petting My Cat Before the Nuclear Blast refers to a series of image macros that explore various scenarios in a continuity which starts with a man petting his cat shortly before a nuclear blast. Spawned by a viral image macro, the meme gained viral popularity in early May 2021, particularly in the /r/196 subreddit and on Twitter.

Origin

The exact origin of the photograph depicting a white-and-orange cat being pet (shown below, left) used in the format is unknown. On March 20th, Discord[18] user h189#1587 came into possession of the image, posting it to the GAYSEX2 Discord server. On that day, Discord[19] user ๆงŒใฎๅญ#5521 created an emote based on it.

Good Ending / Bad Ending

Good Ending / Bad Ending, also known as All Endings, refers to a series of memes that present various scenarios as a good, bad or another type of ending for a certain event or cultural phenomenon. The format gained popularity in the form of ironic demotivational poster videos in May 2020. In the memes, good and bad ending music themes from Fight Nights at Freddy's 3 are often used.

Bracket Explanations

Bracket Explanations are a supplementary meme format used in captions of GIF captions and image macros, particularly on iFunny. The format involves a user finishing their caption with brackets containing an explanation which is either deliberately unnecessary or provides additional context. Used as a part of GIF caption memes on iFunny since at least 2019, the supplementary format gained wider recognition online in 2021.
