“so the bottom one is original? If you do fall, you don’t reach out and take someone with you? same reason you don’t bunch up in combat.”
The bottom one is not the original.
My take on that meme is that the guy in the yellow jacket is superimposed to imply he is a government regulator, and after he writes them up, the bottom meme shows them “socially distancing” on that beam.
All by the miracle of computer graphics.
