About the Always Has Been meme
Always Has Been shows two astronauts looking down at Earth. The first turns in shock — “Wait, it's all Ohio?” — and the second, pistol raised behind him, answers “Always has been.” The drawn image appeared on Reddit in 2020 and quickly became the go-to format for a conspiracy-style revelation delivered with deadpan menace.
The joke has two halves: a realisation that something has secretly been the case all along, and a partner who knew and is about to make sure the secret stays kept. Captions work best when the “reveal” is a mundane truth everyone half-suspected — that the meeting was pointless, that the shortcut was the long way, that the entire app is one spreadsheet.

Always Has Been questions
Do I need all four lines?
Lines 1 and 2 are the joke; lines 3 and 4 are optional labels for the two astronauts. Leave them blank if the roles are obvious.
Should line 2 always be “Always has been”?
It's the expected reply and usually the funniest. Change it only if you have something better.
