Sorry, I was unclear there. I had my wording all fucked up.
There are two parts to the ‘nobody’ thing. The first is the word nobody and then the second is the silence after it. It’s to denote that no one anywhere had ever thought or heard a particular thing. Then another group comes in as part of the meme and asks that particular question. To turn the meme into a sentence it would be:
“Not a single living soul in creation had ever expressed this idea but suddenly, one day, a group of Star Trek fans asked something fucked up for the very first time.”
Whether it’s fucked up or interesting or whatever is denoted by the general context or feeling that the question/idea gives. In this case it would be fucked up.
Like, nobody else ever thought or said this, then star trek did? It’s meant to point out how unusual or weird something is? Is that right?

Thank you, that’s very helpful indeed.
