What does the “Bullshit Detector” meme mean?

The dominant emotion is irony: the detector implicitly accuses someone of lying, exaggerating, or spreading propaganda without proof. It serves as a light rhetorical weapon to reject an idea with humor rather than direct aggression.
Where does the “Bullshit Detector” meme come from?
The original object is the Universal Bullshit Detector Watch, created by American artist Joey Skaggs. Launched in 2006 after its design in 2005, this whimsical watch features a defecating bull on its face. According to the creator’s descriptions, it is a non-partisan tool aimed at combating propaganda and media lies. The button triggers flashes, a moo, and a defecation sound while telling time. While the physical object is real and documented, the precise origin of the reaction image used as a meme remains unknown. No specific video, show, or platform is cited in reliable sources regarding the viral spread of the visual icon.
