The 2014 California Earthquake meme stems from the massive social media surge following the 6.0 magnitude South Napa earthquake. It perfectly encapsulates the modern 'did you feel that' phenomenon, where Californians prioritize checking Twitter (now X) for confirmation over finding immediate safety. The meme usually features shaky imagery or characters looking unbothered while the world vibrates around them. It serves as a satirical commentary on how digital validation has become an integral part of experiencing natural disasters, highlighting the unique nonchalance of those living on the San Andreas Fault.
