AboutWhat does the meme depict?
The Domino Effect, also known as Slippery Slope, is an image macro series based on a photograph depicting a man initiating a chain reaction by pushing the first of a line of domino pieces, each of which incrementally increases in size. This meme template is commonly used with object labels to illustrate how minor occurrences can lead to large-scale outcomes, emphasizing the escalation of events in a humorously exaggerated progression.
OriginWho did it first?
The concept of this meme originates from a YouTube video uploaded by Stephen Morris on October 4th, 2009, which visually demonstrated a chain reaction featuring dominoes that increase in size. The image was adapted into a meme format by Reddit user rabbitflyer5 on July 24th, 2018, in the subreddit /r/PrincetonPhysMemes, where the photograph was converted into an object-labeled meme, marking its popularity as a versatile format in meme culture.[1]
