This relatable meme uses a two-part setup: the top text first presents the common pop-up prompt from Netflix that appears after extended periods of watching to check if the user is still active, reading 'Netflix: Are you still there?' followed by 'Me:'. Below this text is an image of a small dog wrapped in a pink knitted blanket with part of the blanket over its head, sitting slouched on a messy gray bed looking blankly zoned out, with text next to the dog reading 'I don't know anymore'. The humor comes from exaggerating the experience of being so burnt out, dissociated, or absorbed in binge watching content that the user is not even sure they are present or exist anymore in response to the routine Netflix check.
