So, the other day, I stumbled upon this “hampter” thing online, and let me tell you, it was a rabbit hole I gladly went down.
First off, I saw this picture of a hamster, but like, a really weird, poorly drawn one. It was so bad, it was good, you know? I started by digging around to figure out where this little guy came from. Turns out, it’s from this old VK (that’s like the Russian Facebook) post. Some user just drew this weird hamster and posted it. Classic internet.
Next, I scrolled through a bunch of different versions of this hamster. People had taken this drawing and, I don’t know, photoshopped it, made videos, the whole nine yards. There was one where the hamster was a DJ, another where it was a part of some anime opening. Honestly, the creativity was off the charts.
Then, I tried making my own “hampter” meme. I’m no artist, but I grabbed my old drawing tablet and whipped up a version where the hamster was a superhero. It looked ridiculous, but hey, that’s the point, right?
After that, I dove into the history. Apparently, this meme had a whole journey. It started in Russia, then spread to the English-speaking parts of the internet. There were even these weird YouTube videos with hamster dance battles. Wild stuff.
- Found the original “hampter” drawing.
- Explored different meme variations.
- Created my own “hampter” superhero meme.
- Learned about the meme’s history and spread.
Finally, I shared my findings and my own meme on a couple of forums. People got a good laugh out of it, which was cool. It’s amazing how something so simple and silly can bring people together.
