Origins of that picture

>>84032
What is your definition of meme? I don't understand.

>>84038
It does not matter. This joke or what ever. I only need to know the source of this picture and being able to find more of this moment - the reason is that the face of the girl in the middle looks a bit like me, and with a friend we want to know where is that from

>>84039
But then you want the source of the image, not meme. It's not even a meme, it's "mindfuck", the "shit bricks" kind of deal. It's just the "Demotivational Posters", really old stuff. Is this what you want? You think it's you in that photo?

to be honest this is such a one off picture that found its way to some kid probably 2 - 4 years ago and they made a quick meme pandering to the current trend of the "mindfuck" template. I guarantee you there won't be any accompanying images that the mass public if the internet would know about. More than likely it is deep in the recesses of a Facebook account that has long been deleted.

>>84041
Anon that IS a meme. Demotivational pictures are the very definition of an Internet meme. Any idea or concept that spreads from person to person is a meme. Hell, even the misuse of "meme" as a pejorative is a meme.

>>84043
More like 10-12 years ago, and the deep recesses of a Myspace or Xanga account that has long been deleted. I remember seeing this picture floating around when I was in highschool around 2006-2007ish.

How the fuck normies are able to find out about mongolian picture collection but can't handle simple image googling.

>>84044
But image macros are not memes, so demotivational posters are not memes. you just use the template, but it has no meaning in it. If everyone use it it doesn't mean it's a meme, just that it's famous. Memes have meaning, rage faces aren't memes, they're rage faces.

>>84047
they think it's funny

>>84048
>If everyone use it it doesn't mean it's a meme
No you dummy. That's literally EXACTLY what a meme is. If it's well known, it's a meme. If it spreads it's a meme. Read up on Richard Dawkins. He coined the term. It originated from the Greek word "mimeme" meaning "imitated thing."

>>84047
No it is not me at all. But the middle girl's face as I said is similar than me. Curious. That's why I am interested.

>>84051
But then everything is meme...

>>84054
Well then try doing what I told you

>>84045
Jesus 10 - 12 has it really been that long since MySpace and Xanga? Damn time flys

The only option I see is to reverse image search until you find the source, which is going to be a massive waste of time considering the amount of times it's been posted and the years that have gone by. The source has probably since been deleted.
I wouldn't normally do this but [spoiler]I too have become a meme against my will and tried to find the source (no luck there though)[/spoiler] so I can relate to you but my searches have found nothing.

What you can do is:
>image search pic related
>flip pic related horizontally and image search

The oldest recorded occurrence of OP image is on 23 November 2007 on a Bulgarian website.

The URL of the image was:
>http://gal.impulse.bg/upload/2007/11/23/sladurankite-3-92638d3325.jpg

A discussion in Bulgarian language was preserved:

...but it’s extremely hard to read it because it’s written in Latin SMS/TXT code of a /b/-style slang of an archaic Slavic language usually not written in Latin. They are mostly laughing at these girls but I couldn’t understand much.

Many early occurrences of this image are on Balkan and Russian websites but brown people like this girl don’t live in eastern Europe. Even darkest Gypsies are whiter. She looks Indian and I find her pretty.

So 8 November 2005. Fishki is a famous website, so it entered the second stage of virality probably from there.

Apparently this image is older than 4chan.

This source is several days later than Fishki but it’s in higher – possibly native – resolution, and it is Western. Regardless, both versions contain valid EXIF block, from which we learn THE EXACT DATE IT WAS TAKEN ON:
>EXIF DateTimeOriginal: 2005:05:12 10:11:11
Translation: 12 May 2005. This is a very useful knowledge because it means that we should not waste our time trying to find it on pages older than that date.

It was shot using camera in pic related (model from 2003).

I will probably not find out anything more about OP picture.

Someone extremely determined could try to contact @dj_cyntext on Photobucket and ask him where he got that picture from.

One day, the Web Archive and the NSA archives will be properly searchable, so all is not lost.

If you enhance >>84732, you can still see a lingering reflection of the moustache of that girl in the camera body.

I would probably find it.
