The 'Drowning High Five' meme, originally a comic by the artist Gudim, features a hand reaching out of the water for help, only to be met with a high five from a person standing on a dock. This template serves as the ultimate visual metaphor for receiving performative gestures or useless assistance when a real crisis is occurring. It gained massive popularity across Reddit and Twitter as a way to satirize corporate PR, ineffective government policies, and the 'thoughts and prayers' phenomenon. The meme perfectly captures the dark humor found in situations where help is offered in the most superficial and unhelpful way possible.
