originally it was supposed to mean something being said or done unprompted. most people use it wrong so it doesn’t make sense. here for example, the prompt is in the caption. someone died. that’s the prompt. the use of was follows it logically.
the proper use of the meme would be something like:
Nobody:
Stephen King:
because he just says that shit unprompted, no one asks him about it, no one accuses or even suspects him being involved and suddenly, after years of criticizing orange mussolini, this happens to be the one time he supports him. that justifies the “nobody:” imo.
It made sense when it was (originally) used properly. But no one ever uses it correctly anymore. And then they blame boomers for not understanding memes, as you see in this very thread a few comments up.
In any of these “Nobody: “ memes you can crop that line and it changes very little. It’s a shit format imo.

Good point, but it’s still an annoying meme format because of the nonsensical double negative on nobody saying nothing.
I know I’m alone on this hill, but I’ll die here.
you’re not alone at all… but double negatives are valid in many languages and English dialects.
Nobody:
Nobody at all:
Not one person in the history of the universe:
This guy: Stop adding unnecessary lines.
There are so many bad meme usages now I just want to let the world burn because I’ll be dead soon.
