The 'Living in 3017' meme is a popular internet trend used to describe people who demonstrate an oddly advanced, creative, or efficient way of solving everyday problems. It often features photos of low-tech but brilliant 'life hacks,' such as using a hair dryer to heat up pizza or wearing a VR headset while doing chores. The phrase gained significant traction on Twitter and Reddit in mid-2017 as a way to mock or celebrate 'big brain' energy. Unlike traditional sci-fi tropes, this meme highlights the contrast between the simplicity of the solution and its perceived futuristic effectiveness, making it a staple for showcasing DIY genius and hilarious logic.
