Yes I’m aware of the meme. Still don’t get how “nothing was said by nobody” implies that, since it’s an incoherent concept - such a double negative surely implies someone said something?
That is the only version that actually makes sense. It literally comes out as “no one said anything”. Isn’t that what’s supposed to be implied: there was silence, interrupted by something no one asked for?
Don’t really want to have to explain. It’s all here: https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/nobody

Better to think of it as “nothing was said, and nobody said it”
So, somebody said something.
No. Nothing was said. And nobody said it.
Nobody saying nothing is logically equivalent to someone saying something.
What you want is “nobody said anything.”
No. Nothing was said. Nobody said it. The meme wouldn’t make sense if it was;
No one: anything

I don’t know how else to explain it. I guess you just have to be against the Internet one this one.
