The 'God I Wish That Were Me' meme features a man with long hair looking intensely at a photo of a person about to eat a massive burger. Originating from a 4chan post in 2011, the image captures a moment of pure, unadulterated envy. Over the years, the phrase has transcended the original burger context to become a universal reaction for any situation where someone desires to be in another person's—or even an object's—shoes. It is frequently used on social media to express comedic jealousy toward everything from pampered pets to inanimate objects in fortunate circumstances.
