The *"Big Brain"* meme, also known as *"Expanding Brain"*, originated in 2017 as a multi-panel format comparing different levels of intelligence. The meme typically shows a sequence of images: a small, dimly lit brain progressing to a glowing, expansive brain, with each stage representing an increasingly "intelligent" (but often ironically ridiculous) idea. Initially used to humorously contrast different ways of thinking, it quickly evolved into a tool for satire, often exaggerating absurd or pseudo-intellectual takes. Its versatility made it a staple in meme culture, commonly used to mock overcomplicated logic, unconventional opinions, or ironic "galaxy brain" conclusions.
