When You Start Seeing Something Everywhere After Learning About It
Text content
when you learn about something and suddenly you see this thing everywhere
Overview
A meme composed of a two-part layout: the top section contains bold black text on a white background that reads 'when you learn about something and suddenly you see this thing everywhere', while the bottom section is a screenshot of a man driving a car with an intense, focused expression. The meme humorously illustrates the psychological phenomenon known as the Baader-Meinhof phenomenon (frequency illusion), where newly acquired knowledge makes a person notice the subject more frequently in their environment.
Origin notes
The image is a remix of a scene from the 1994 American crime film 'Pulp Fiction', featuring actor Samuel L. Jackson in his role as Jules Winnfield. The original movie scene was edited by adding text overlay to create a relatable meme. Such memes are commonly shared on social media platforms like Reddit, Twitter, or Instagram, leveraging popular movie stills to convey everyday experiences.
![This is a meta reaction meme composed of two text sections and a screenshot from a TV show. The top text reads 'POV: you see someone post a meme that uses "POV" incorrectly', setting up the first-person perspective as promised by the correct use of the POV label. The lower portion shows Dennis Reynolds from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia driving a car with a smug, amused expression, paired with the subtitle '[Laughter] You dumb bitch'. The joke centers on mocking people who frequently misuse the POV meme format by labeling content that does not show the viewer's first-person perspective as POV, with the meme itself correctly employing the POV format to show the viewer's mocking reaction to that common mistake.](https://gagbase.com/i/c/memes/b8/0c/c7/5c/b80cc75c296cd6bb63057837cd841cfc.jpeg.webp)
