High-fat cheese, cream linked to lower risk of dementia: Study; I believe every word that man just said - because it's exactly what I wanted to hear
Overview
This meme is a two-part collage. The upper section is a screenshot of an ABC News article headlined that a study found high-fat cheese and cream are linked to lower dementia risk, while low-fat dairy products have no clear association with dementia risk, dated December 17, 2025. The lower section is a screenshot of the animated Batman character from Batman: The Animated Series, wearing his cowl and smirking smugly, paired with the caption: "I believe every word that man just said - because it's exactly what I wanted to hear". The joke satirizes the common human confirmation bias of uncritically accepting scientific conclusions that align with personal preferences, specifically the desire to enjoy high-fat dairy without guilt.
Origin notes
This meme was sourced from the Reddit: Meme subreddit via RSS feed. It is a remix combining two pre-existing materials: a 2025 ABC News science article about dairy consumption and dementia risk, and a long-popular classic smug animated Batman reaction meme template that is widely used online to express unreserved agreement with information that matches one's existing wants or biases.
