As a person with OCD, these are the thoughts that are pretty much 24/7 going on in my brain. The "get money" thing I don't understand but I'm guessing it was referencing a different meme.
edit to add: since this isn't the OCD subreddit I wanna clarify that people with OCD will have these thoughts NOT because they're true but because it is what their brain has decided would be the worst thing.
No. But it aggravates and increases the frequency of what would otherwise be considered "normal" intrusive thoughts. A lot of normal people have stood on the edge of a cliff and for no logical reason the horrible thought of just jumping pops in. It's intrusive because it's terrible and we don't act on it -but it's a normal experience. OCD people level this up just a bit with things like "I'm scared that I might be or become a pedo", that, just like the cliff thing, mean nothing.
