From fake startup ideas to AI memes that reached mainstream news, here's how one anonymous account built one of the internet's most recognizable posting styles.

DjCows

If you've spent enough time on X, you've probably seen one of his posts.

Meet DjCows, one of the internet's most recognizable shitposters.

The style people know today really started taking shape around 2024.

Since then, the formula has barely changed.

And that's exactly why it works.

The Posts

DjCows doesn't write long threads.

He doesn't explain the joke.

He doesn't try to convince anyone.

Instead, he posts something completely absurd as if it's the most normal thing in the world.

The serious delivery is what makes the joke land.

One of his earliest recurring formats was fake startup ideas.

They were jokes about startup culture and how ordinary or ridiculous ideas are sometimes presented as the next billion-dollar company.

Most of the posts are only a sentence or two.

Over time, that became the style people instantly recognized.

Today

DjCows still posts almost every day.

The topics have evolved alongside the internet, but the style has stayed the same.

Every now and then, one of those posts breaks out of X and gets shared across the rest of the web.

Most people spend years trying to create a recognizable voice online.

DjCows did it with one-liners that sound completely serious until you stop and think about them.
