Europe: survives two world wars. The 2026 heatwave:
Overview
This meme jokes about the severity of predicted 2026 heatwaves in Europe. The top text states that Europe survived two world wars, followed by a visual of the T-800 Terminator character melting in front of a weather map of Europe showing record high temperatures across most of the continent, marked with heat warning icons and temperature readings as high as 39 degrees Celsius. The joke exaggerates the intensity of future European heatwaves to be more catastrophic than the world wars, referencing the trend of increasingly severe summer heatwaves hitting Europe in recent years. The original post title 'Cooking eggs on the floor rn' further emphasizes how hot the region is implied to be, to the point that eggs can be cooked directly on the ground.
Origin notes
This meme is sourced from an RSS feed of content from the Reddit r/Meme subreddit, posted with the original title 'Cooking eggs on the floor rn'. It combines the popular 'melting Terminator' reaction meme template, pulled from the finale of Terminator 2: Judgment Day, with a real style European weather heat map, edited together for comedic effect to comment on worsening heat events due to climate change in Europe.
