OriginThe phrase “nothing ever happens” has been used on 4chan’s /pol/ board since at least as early as July 2014. For example, on July 26th, 2014, an anonymous /pol/ user wrote, “Nothing ever happens in this shit, I can't take it anymore, please god make something happen this world is boring as fuck" (shown below). On April 4th, 2015, another user wrote, "you guys are right nothing ever happens," in a post in which they complained about Russia not blowing up a volcano (shown below). On September 8th, 2017, an anonymous /pol/ user posted a reaction image reading "Daily reminder: nothing ever happens" (shown below, left). The phrase and reaction images based on it have sometimes been used on /pol/ in conjunction with "nothing ever happens."
