Overview[]
"0 = No, 100 = Yes" is a meme logic format used in Discord communities and online reactions to express absolute disapproval (0) or complete approval (100). Often used as a humorous scale in response to questions, character ratings, or polls, the phrase turns numerical values into binary “no” or “yes” answers.
Origin[]
The meme originated on Discord from a user known as CrabKing69 in early 2022.
The earliest known usage includes:
- February 9, 2022:
“U HAVE 0 PUF BITCH” — Used "0" to express someone had absolutely nothing.
- February 26, 2022:
“100” — Used "100" as a strong, standalone affirmation after a bot interaction.
This early use of 0 and 100 as binary values eventually evolved into the standardized meme format:
“0 = No, 100 = Yes”
This phrase was later used by CrabKing69 in Discord debates, ratings, and responses, effectively popularizing the format across multiple servers.
The Meliodas Controversy[]
In late 2023, another Discord user named Meliodas began using the phrase, later claiming to have originated it. However, screenshots from early 2022 confirm CrabKing69's priority in both inventing and spreading the format. As of now, CrabKing69 is widely credited in the community as the originator.
