What Archaeologists Will Find In 500 Years (Kim Kardashian Parody Meme)
Text content
What Archaeologists will find in 500 years from now
Overview
This humorous meme depicts a skeleton posed as a recent find at an archaeological excavation site, surrounded by small digging trowels on dirt. The skeleton is modified with exaggerated features referencing modern cosmetic procedures: extremely large lip fillers affixed to its skull, large silicone breast implants placed on its ribcage, long bright pink fake nails on its finger bones, and heavy dark eye makeup drawn on the skull. It holds a smartphone in one hand as if mid-selfie. Text above the image reads 'What Archaeologists will find in 500 years from now'. The joke is a sarcastic exaggeration of current beauty and plastic surgery trends, specifically mocking public figures like Kim Kardashian who are widely known for getting extensive cosmetic enhancements, implying that their non-biodegradable cosmetic modifications will survive long after the rest of their body decomposes to be found by future archaeologists.
Origin notes
This meme originates from Reddit, where it was first shared in meme-focused subreddits with the original title 'Kim Kardashian is that you?!?!?'. The watermark 'txeraz' visible on the image is the handle of the likely original creator. It went viral as a relatable, humorous take on modern cosmetic surgery culture and widespread public fascination with the Kardashian family's plastic surgery choices, and has been reposted across multiple social media platforms.
