WikiHow Gives Nihilistic Advice For Accepting Failures
Text content
How to Accept Your Failures; Step 1: Remember one day the sun will explode. and no one will even be alive to remember you.
Overview
This is a satirical edited screenshot parodying the wikiHow self-help format, showing a fictional article titled 'How to Accept Your Failures' under the Personal Development > Personal Failure category. It features the typical cheerful wikiHow illustrated man in a blue shirt sitting at a desk with a laptop, grinning widely and giving a thumbs up. The first listed step is an absurdly dark, nihilistic piece of advice: 'Remember one day the sun will explode. and no one will even be alive to remember you.' The humor stems from the extreme disconnect between the earnest, helpful tone and art style typical of wikiHow, and the overly bleak existential advice that trivializes all personal failure by comparing it to the eventual heat death of the solar system.
