The 'Kim, There's People That Are Dying' meme originates from a 2011 episode of 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' during a family trip to Bora Bora. After Kim Kardashian has a meltdown over losing a $75,000 diamond earring in the ocean, her sister Kourtney delivers the now-iconic, deadpan reality check. This moment perfectly encapsulated the perceived vanity of the Kardashian family and became an immediate internet staple for calling out privileged complaints. Today, the meme is used globally to dismiss anyone making a big deal out of a minor inconvenience, serving as the ultimate rebuttal for 'first-world problems.'
