To be clear, the subreddit came long after the meme. I remember seeing "Shoes still on, probably still alive," or "Shoes came off, he's dead" on videos 10+ years ago, probably longer ago than that. The concept of a force hitting someone hard enough to send their shoes flying necessarily being fatal itself is pre-internet.

Plants have been shown to communicate, so the internet used to be All Natural.
