The name references Omegle, the random text and video chat site launched in 2009 that paired strangers anonymously and became a staple of reaction and prank videos. After the original site closed in 2023, similar services and edits were widely labelled as a new or 2.0 version, and short clips using that name spread through meme pages and soundboards. This version survives as a shorthand cue for meeting a stranger online, which is why creators still reach for it in chat, streaming and social edits.
