The human, wearing a blue shirt, sits on a brown couch with a neutral, slightly confused expression, while the gray donkey stands beside him with a confident, smug posture. Framed landscape paintings adorn the wall behind them. Dialogue text shows the human arguing, 'You can't just reset the very concept of memes because you didn't understand 67,' and the donkey responding, 'Yes I can We're going back to before when I was the cool one who knew the thing,' humorously mocking the idea of reverting meme culture to a previous era.

A meme featuring a photograph of a young child running frantically on a concrete sidewalk with a terrified expression, while an orangutan rides a small red and yellow tricycle in pursuit.
