The 'How Long Do [X] Live' meme is a popular format that parodies Google search results by showing a fake, ridiculously short life expectancy for certain groups of people. Usually, the meme features a top panel showing the search query and an answer—often '12 to 15 years'—followed by a bottom panel showing a reaction of shock or existential dread. While the 'Short People' version became a massive viral hit on TikTok and Instagram, the template is highly adaptable for any niche or community, such as emos, gamers, or specific fanbases. It thrives on dark humor and the relatable absurdity of trusting random internet facts, often being used for self-deprecating jokes within those very communities.
