      The horror of such a climacteric realisation cannot be imagined, but I can paint a picture of how it would end…
      With a solemn, unreadable expression on my face as an unnoticed tear silently rolls down one cheek, I slowly walk off with a thousand-yard stare, no purpose or determination in my steps, just a shuffling shadow of what was once a man.
      After I’ve walked out of view, there’s a brief moment of silence, then - with an undramatic, almost mundane air of finality - the loud, slightly dampened report of a solitary gunshot rings rings out.
      Then - silence once more.
      Forever…

    Jak historian here. I think I just stumbled upon something BIG. Like, makes-me-question-everything-I-know kinda big.
    Conventional history has it that on 30 Dec 2017, a Swede on /int/ posted the first ever ꜱoyjak. This is documented. However, a little-known piece of trivia is that he actually called it "ꜱoyak" in that original post, so I got curious about the first time "ꜱoyjak" was uttered. I expected it to be a few days later, you know, once the trend caught on. Well, turns out ꜱoyjak was first printed on the same day-30 Dec 2017-on both /s4s/ and /r9k/... ten hours BEFORE THE SWEDE'S POST. And not only that, but both posts essentially were saying that ꜱoyjak was /fit/'s own wojak variant (yet the word "ꜱoyjak" itself doesn't appear on /fit/ until 22 Jan 2018)
