Proof of Toes (PoT Protocol)
noun, internet slang, emerging meme (2025–)

1. A satirical liveness test proposed to distinguish humans from AI, requiring the posting of foot images as verification.

2. A troll-meme founded by Munaf Sheikh (2025) that blends absurdist internet humor with rational commentary on embodiment, identity, and proof-of-humanity in the age of generative AI.

Etymology: Originated in online discussions (2025) as a deliberate troll-meme; now recognized as a cultural joke and speculative commentary on digital identity.

“Text CAPTCHAs don’t work anymore. Time to implement Proof of Toes”

When the proof remains valid

This refers to a situation where someone is accused of something, and while there is evidence presented, there is uncertainty about whether that evidence is genuine or fabricated, yet it has been officially deemed valid.

Nicholas: “Yo, you think that buttass text he showed was real?”
Marinucci: “They looked fake at first, but they got verified."
Kmoh: "When the proof remains valid.”

Proof or Ban

Commonly used in r/WallStreetBets, a subreddit most commonly known for gambling in the stock market, “Proof or Ban” is used in response to someone who posts about a stock trade or stock position they have entered into but has provided zero proof of them being in that trade. If the user does not provide proof, they get banned from the subreddit forever.

It’s similar to the expression of “Put up or Shut Up”

Can also be used in other contexts outside of the subreddit or stocks in general. However it will work best in group chats with friends.

Friend 1: “Bro. You remember Sally? She was that super hot chick we met at the bar a couple weeks ago.

Friend 2: “Yeah, what about her?”

Friend 1: “You’ll never believe it bro, but she just sent me an Instagram dm saying that she would totally let me pipe and that I was the sexiest guy she had ever seen.”

Friend 2: “Bro you’re totally right. I don’t believe it at all. Proof or ban.”
