    literally no one ever said it unironically.

    Tell me you don’t know the origin of the meme without telling me you don’t know the origin of the meme.

      how do you know if someone is a vegan…

      it’s literally a meme template for insufferable people to say “I’m x btw” and those same people don’t actually say it, it’s a fucking jab at them.

      maybe do a google search before attacking people on the internet … or don’t, I’m not your manager.

      carnivore btw

        On November 16th, Redditor[4] SusuKacangSoya commented a possible explanation of the meme’s origin, writing, “Someone gave the following narrative: That when Arch was new, it was distrusted by the rest of the community because of some stability, etc. issues. However, as it got more and more usable, Arch users began telling everyone else that they were using Arch, to bring more awareness about Arch and prove that it’s usable (they were using it just fine, after all). With this strategy released onto the wild, rolling across the community, Arch’s usage share quickly went from laughable to that of major distribution. Of course, with the end goal completed, the meme is supposed to be obsolete, but… it stuck, its original purpose lost to time.”
