“This is fine” meme: The Question Hound remains calm
The “This is fine” meme shows the Question Hound from the comic strip “On Fire” by artist KC Green.
- In this one, a dog sits at a table and relaxes over a coffee. Meanwhile, the house is burning down, recognizable by the flames in the background and foreground. All he says in response is This is fine
- A situation is described or a statement is made to illustrate the actual seriousness of the situation. This is illustrated by the burning room. However, the person concerned deliberately ignores the problem and remains calm.
- The meme was first shared on the imageboard 4chan in 2014. After that, it was able to spread due to its possible uses
- The meme became even more influential in 2016 during the US presidential election. This has shown how effectively the meme can influence the political landscape.
- Since 2016, the meme has been used regularly for all kinds of situations and has become firmly anchored on the internet. As a result, it has also become a meme to draw attention to climate change and the often inadequate measures taken by governments to tackle the global problem.
“This is fine” meme: Hopeless situations in view
The “This is fine” meme lends itself effectively to numerous situations due to the comic strip used. The sarcasm is strongly emphasized by the image.
- This already shows one of the first variants of the meme. Reddit user theonefoster created a post entitled “Accurate representation of me dealing with university stress” with the two images of the meme
- This makes it clear how stressful studying is, but he simply ignores this fact. This is the only way he can get through university with the motto “This is fine.”
- The meme is popular, for example, in political areas, for everyday life and when it comes to finances. Bad financial and otherwise stressful situations in particular are addressed via the meme. Unpleasant truths are also included
- For example, there is the meme with the text Gaming laptop owners be like: (people who use a gaming laptop say:) and then the pictures in the burning house. This is intended to illustrate the strong heat development of gaming laptops due to the poorer cooling performance and the willful ignorance of users
