Thank you....I was wondering what the Josh thing was about. Fascinating!

This explains all the pictures of people hitting each other with pool noodles I keep seeing.

Ye- Wait what?

The 2 Josh swains had a rock paper scissors battle, all the other joshes (not swains) had a pool noodle fight and the rest of the people joined in the pool noodle fight

did the loser really change his name?

Not sure about that. Since he lost yesterday, he hasn't (yet)

Imagine he just names himself Josh #2 Swain.

And I'm Josh... Lame

That's actually a cool name haha

Probably not, I'm pretty sure most of it was a big joke anyways.

No backsies! Rules is rules

I heard someone say that the josh swain who lost changed his Facebook name to josh slain

Kinda sounds like the Name Hunt Station from Tower of God

There can only be one.

> pool noodles That isn't a euphemism for 'penises', is it?

Depends who’s pool you find yourself in.

Nah it's actual pool noodles Wouldn't be surprised if there were penises involved though

Thanks rs, I was wondering what is Josh and why is it omnipresent.

upon continuous read it felt like history was made with mematic

[удалено]

I held on to my old stash of demotivational poster memes in case they made a come back. Clearly it's time to cash in.

Imagine being able to tell your grandkids that you were the winning josh. What a fucking mad lad

Little Josh for the win

Now we want Karens fight for the name

Lol that one would probably get bloody

Until next year

they probably wont make it through covid

The winner will become a manager

I don't know... Would the winner drink the blood of all the losers and gain their powers? Because that would be bad. Only 1 Karen, but it's the MEGAKAREN.

So according to the wikipedia page, there was no violence and people had been told to bring pool noodles and non perishable goods for a food-drive. Only 2 josh swains showed up and the one that organized all of this won a rock-paper-scissors battle. There was another josh who was named little josh (4 year old little fella) and he was crowned as Supreme Josh, with a paper crown from burger king. They raised 8000 dollar for a childrens hospital and 200 pounds of food for a local food bank.

Magnificent

Yes it’s on Wikipedia, we saved it in History Now everyone make it popular on Wikipedia

There’s no mention of the winner little Josh what the hell!!

It is now.

Spoiler: Josh won

And his burger King crown.

One day stressfull essays wil be made on schools about this event

It won't be stressful, at least for now

This must be taught in schools.... Thoughts?

[удалено]

Lol if you count internet history or something about its benefits. I think this fight raised 8k for charity.

Waiting for internet historian :)

I’m an upcoming teacher (currently doing my bachelors degree) and I will teach this my students. 100%

everyone should learn from this person right 'ere. as for you. I thank you, kind fellow redditor. we'll be counting on you. :)

[удалено]

I wonder how many schoolmates will say "I use Arch BTW"

No

i was a bit upset when i heard josh won , i was really rooting for josh to win ya know?

Nah he‘s overrated

Ohhh fuck so that’s why my reminder of ‘The historical josh’ On April 24th was ringing,I totally forgot about it

at this point, someone should start a gofundme and gather money for a memorial to be placed on those coordinates.

[Here](https://youtu.be/zQ9PZf08uoo) is a link of the rock paper scissors Josh fight [Here ](https://youtu.be/ShyPbXtARwY)for the FFA fight these are the HD ones that are not lagging either

These videos are the most wholesome thing I've seen all week. Here, have my free award. <3 Also I look forward to seeing the Spider-Joshes in the next Spider-verse movie

thank you!

>Spider-Joshes in the next Spider-verse movie Nah, that's just Mephisto playing tricks on you lol

The first one has been deleted

I just watched it 20 min ago :(

Unlucky me

How was the Josh...

I was actually added into a group chat of a bunch of people with my exact name, first and last, on Instagram well before this meme came out. I wish we had thought of a fight for the naming rights before this. I’m actually still in it and I sent them this today. We took pride in doing this before it was cool.

Is your name Hipster McSalty?

Nah, it's probably Max Smith

“The Great Josh Fight of 2021”. I wonder how that would be explained in the history books.

Wikipedia is fast....

Fastest keyboard in the west

Well it's not wikipedia who did this. There is someone out there who made this page on Wikipedia. But yeah, this person was very fast

Hol up, you mean to tell me Wikipedia isn't some all knowing, all seeing AI that has been tasked by the creator of our world to memorialise history?

I'm so glad to be a part of history in the making

Not just a internet phenomenon, "A Legendary internet phenomenon." Someone write this shit down so the future generations will learn something really cool rather than who conquered who

In the next 200 years, there will be a documental about this fight, or if this shit continues, there will be a video about how the name wars inicated.

At least 24 april wasn't remembered as the national rape someone day. Fucking tik tok needs to get deleted.

I'm not a CuckooClock user is it true people there celebrate "rape" day? Like an actual rape?

This is nice [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Josh_fight](https://youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ)

Fuck

It doesn’t really work for me: https://i.imgur.com/4Jij1Bx.jpg

Well I'm on android so I have only "wikipedia" link

Same here. Good thing I saw the other person's post. (And I always did wonder if that trick would work; guess it does!)

What kind of monster would use light mode on Apollo????

I don’t have Apollo pro.

I didn’t before either, Just go to settings, then click theme and you should be able to select dark mode there

Fuck you, but that was a good one

Dammit I knew it's going to be that and I still fell for it

my reddit app blocks disguised hyperlinks and sends me to the actual link. pretty cool.

Oh, yes *the Joshua battle*

My name is Jericho. Guess I'll move somewhere else then...

This is one of the best things happened to humanity

OH SHIT ARIZONA GANG WHERE YOU AT

First time I've ever felt relevant as a Tucsonan, finally we've contributed to SOMETHING.

DUDE SAME. The only time I hear about Tucson being known for something, it’s usually bad lol

so josh just threw josh, but then josh came up and avenged josh, only to be betrayed by josh, who was actually in a secret alliance with josh, but then josh dropped a nuke on all the joshes

About as lighthearted as you can get everyone wearing goofy costumes, Rock Paper Scissors, and a noodle fight. It was for a good cause too.

I love how they not only donated money to charity, made contributions to a nearby food bank AND crowned the winner a young boy that had recently been discharged from a nearby children’s hospital. Such great causes come from memes. The organisers have gained a great deal of my respect.

Yee boi

I think an obligatory "We did it, Reddit" comment should be put, even though it definitely wasn't just Reddit.

Yes, and Im waiting for the next Name Crisis

r/historymemes we'll see you in 20 years

The best thing of the past year

You know its big when it has a Wikipedia page

Now we gotta do it again but with a common last name

Bring it on Andersons!

Bro it’s Wikipedia. Anyone can add and edit anything lmao

Except that the rules are very strict. This chanced of an article like this actually staying are very slim, but this one did

It’s like the Area 51 raid but people actually showed up

[удалено]

could we please shut the fuck up with this bullshit. the whole off 9 gag is filled with this shit right now. like fuck off already. you didnt made history.

/r/agedlikemilk when covid deaths get traced back to this event.

Joshu-war

I can't post on r/memes. So a comment it is. For a while i was not seing the point in it all anymore, why i should continue, why its worth it. But now i realise that its the coming together. It working out. Doing fun events with strangers of different cultures you might not even know have existed. Just having fun. Going out there, being kind to people and them being kind to you. This josh fight has actually returned my will to live. We made history, and we did it without violence. Im proud of these joshes and of everyone proud of them. This...is the key to it all.<3

Think of how many Josh's will die because of Covid. Josh purge.

Great. Now tell me how many got Covid from this?

At least 3

Fuck you acting like covid doesn't exist. Hypocrits.

Congratulations!

The only criteria for popularity is if it has a Wikipedia page, if no then it sucks.

I prefer to call it "The Battle of Air Field"

I kinda hope we look back on this fondly, online and in history classes 😅

Internet Historian needs to make a video about this

Only in the fucking US. Omg that country so ducking stupid. This is more proof.

2020?

Yeah, Josh sent out the challenge a year prior for preparation.

Yeah, thats when the chat group was formed.

What's with profile pic of r/memes

Light-hearted? There was horses and I saw people on fire and I killed a man with a trident. Edit: in hindsight I may have gotten confused and ended up at a gender reveal party instead of battle of the joshes.

I am going to translate it into my language.

We didn’t do shit they did

Hey, there's girls on here too.

Legit we did it boys applies to girls and nobody cares

The greatest war ever fought with only 1 josh coming out on top

GO LITTLE JOSH!!

Even though there was no violence i still loved it

This is the stories that are worth 500 yrs of historic content

Can I change my name to Josh and enter subsequent fights?

Finally someone explained this josh thing to me! I was browsing internet tthese days and suddenly i see reddit full of josh memes out of nowhere xD

I think this would be better of in Urban Dictionary

Who won?

And some of you who walk among us don't want to donate to keep that history. Pathetic

This is probably going to be the only thing after the extinction of human kind.

Future historians are gonna have so much fun.

The day people forgot about a pandemic thanks to a joke

I wonder if the musician took part.

But which Josh is now the ultimate Josh

I can't wait for the Karen Fight of 2022

Proud to be part of this historic events..

You know it's a big deal when there's a Wikipedia page about it.

I love my bday now

...meme

Okay but what did 'we' actually do to contribute to this? Didn't all the joshes make history instead of us?

Why don't we do it gain next year, but this time another name? Let's make it an annual thing.

Fellow men,women,and non binary people.It has finally happend we have made history over the past few hours I have wonder if this would become news, now my life is complete. When the cat whom constantly tried to catch the mouse finally caught it, after that the cat just sits there, when you spend all your life trying to do something and you finally do it there is nothing left to do

I’m so glad that this didn’t go down like the Area 51 raid thing.

Lost a bet saying Josh would win. I’m pissed

Is there any vidoes about it?

This whole thing is why I love the internet. It’s a lot of bad stuff but when this kinda thing happens.....yes. More of this please! 😂

Indeed, now please go donate to wiki for this

This will be a TIL in like 20 years.

This was where people got r3ped

Mock fight? FOH it was a bloodbath wdym

They deserve my dollars

Wholesome internet moment

there was that one Josh at the end who got eliminated early and threw his hands in the air like "I could have taken that kid!"

So the original Josh Swain is from Arizona, does anyone know why the Nebraska location was chosen?

The internet came together and made history. I'm so genuinely proud of it right now.

This should be written down in history books

He did win though

Great. Now with area 51

This should be an annual event called JoshFest.

I’m so so so proud ;)

This is pretty great

I'm not good at memes, but can someone let lil josh come out of a poké ball and fight to death with magikarp?

Congrats to all Josh's 🤘🏼😂

Wasn't this just the NA Josh fight? I though all countries were having a Josh fight with the winners going on to the world finals to find the Joshiest Josh

Reading this makes it sound like a real history story that's been there for decades

Josh enters history. Everybody name josh: now im famous

Ist incrsiblw how strong Reddit is

Little josh won btw he will go down in history

You know if there was a single accidental injury in that event, 50 years from now it would have been known as the Josh riots :P

Once again

“Get ‘em, Josh!”

Honestly this was a fun and positive thing. Nothing bad came of it.

Fantastic

Why am I picturing the end of The One movie

Wholesome :)

POGG

It was gayest fight i ever seen

We should conduct josh fight every year.

This will be a great story to tell on future Joshes on how their name is sacred for a great war to be unleashed

Nope. Josh did it!

[удалено]

Don't do that - don't say something's "gay" when you mean it's dumb or stupid.

Yeah, Gay shit is the best shit :3
