I see dead people!

This is an 8-panel progressive meme using scenes from the animated show SpongeBob SquarePants. The first panel shows Patrick Star sitting in an armchair, frowning, with the caption "LIFE ISN'T THAT BAD". The following 5 panels show SpongeBob SquarePants sequentially bringing in different containers labeled with increasingly severe negative societal and cultural losses: "DEATH OF THE INTERNET", "DEATH OF MEDIA LITERACY", "DEATH OF CREATIVITY", "DEATH OF CRITICAL THINKING", and "DEATH OF FUN" (where SpongeBob breaks through a wall). The final two panels show SpongeBob and Patrick lying together looking visibly distressed, with the final caption "DEATH OF EVERYTHING REMOTELY DECENT IN LIFE". The meme uses dark, cynical humor to comment on perceived declining quality of online spaces, cultural value, and modern life overall, referencing the iconic line from *The Sixth Sense* in its official title.
