RNGesus: Meaning and origin of the meme

by Johannes

RNGesus is a meme that is mainly used in gaming culture. The actual origin can no longer be traced. However, the meme is already older.

This is what RNGesus is all about

RNGesus is a combination of the acronym RNG and Jesus.

  • RNG stands for Random Number Generator, which means a random number generator.
  • The connection with Jesus comes from the fact that in video games, for example, situations often arise in which success comes about by chance or luck. In this case, RNGesus is worshipped as a kind of god of luck.
  • The expression and also the meme are thus used humorously. Often in pictures Jesus is depicted with a 100-sided die as his head.
  • The origin of the meme and its meaning has probably been around since 2009, when it was used in the online community MMO-Champion.
  • Even new media such as Twitch and growing communities have contributed to the rapid spread of RNGesus.
