And Not A Single Fuck Was Given That Day is an image macro catchphrase pasted onto photos of subjects who look completely unbothered. The phrase started appearing online around 2009 and picked up real steam on 4chan and Reddit by March 2010.

Overview

And Not A Single Fuck Was Given That Day is a catchphrase image macro built on a modified version of the everyday phrase "I don't give a fuck"1. The line gets stamped onto photographs where the subject looks totally relaxed, oblivious, or just above whatever chaos is happening around them3.

The format is loose by design. Any picture showing someone unbothered will do, from celebrities looking bored to animals in absurd situations to people casually walking away from something they should probably care about3. In tone and setup it sits close to Come at me bro, another catchphrase macro from the same era that pairs a punchy line with any image that fits3.

How It Spread

From its 4chan foothold, the macro moved onto Reddit, where it became a popular format for reaction posts through 20103. The template's flexibility, any calm or aloof subject could carry the caption, made it easy to remix across boards and subreddits.

The catchphrase also crossed onto Facebook, where a group dedicated to "Not a Single Fuck Was Given That Day" pulled in over 4,000 members 2. That kind of platform-hopping cemented the line as a stock piece of late-2000s and early-2010s internet vocabulary alongside other catchphrase macros of the era3.

How to Use This Meme

The typical build is simple: find a photo of a person, animal, or character who looks completely unbothered by their surroundings, then caption it with "And not a single fuck was given that day." Common conventions include placing the text under the image in white Impact font with a black outline, matching the standard image macro look of the period3. The line often works best when the subject is doing something mildly outrageous or ignoring something dramatic in frame.
