Future gens are gonna have a hell of a time figuring out what's real.
Overview
This meme features a heavily photoshopped composite group photograph that brings together an absurd, impossible lineup of famous people in one casual outdoor shot. From left to right: an unidentified older seated man, internet personality Mia Khalifa, a deepfake of deceased pop icon Michael Jackson holding an assault rifle, popular streamer IShowSpeed, and deceased disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein holding a New Mix beer can. Top text reads "Future gens are gonna have a hell of a time figuring out what's real", joking that modern photo manipulation will make it impossible for future generations to distinguish authentic historical photos from fakes. A Reddit comment below adds an intentional pun referencing Mia Khalifa's background as a former adult film star: "It's fake, that lady is dressed." The joke plays on the expectation that most viral online photos of Khalifa are undressed, so her being fully dressed here is proof the image is fake.
Origin notes
This meme originated as a post on Reddit, this image is a screenshot of a viral top comment on the original post, which was later reposted to 9GAG. The core joke comments on how prevalent photo editing and deepfake technology has become, making it increasingly difficult to tell real content from fake, especially for future generations looking back at early 21st century online media. The pun comment became a popular addition to the viral meme.
