This humorous edited meme uses a retro mid-century science fiction illustration as its base. The scene shows an astronaut in a space suit holding a wrench, crouched on a rocky orange alien planet surface, looking down at the ground as if inspecting a small object. In the dark starry sky above, a giant yellow moon shaped like a human skull looms large over the alien landscape. Overlaid text on the skull moon reads 'The pervasive rot of existence', while text next to the astronaut reads 'Me, looking for a cool bug'. The joke plays on the relatable experience of ignoring overwhelming, omnipresent existential dread by fixating on small, trivial, enjoyable minor details as a coping mechanism.

Overlaid white text with black outlines on the image reads: "me consuming five different forms of media at the same time so I can minimize the chances of a thought occurring". The joke is a relatable, humorous depiction of modern people overloading on media consumption as a coping mechanism to avoid boredom, intrusive thoughts, or having to process their own internal feelings.
