The Burning House meme, widely known as 'Disaster Girl,' features a 2004 photograph of Zoe Roth looking deviously at the camera while local firefighters perform a controlled burn in the background. Taken by her father, the image became a viral sensation after winning a photography contest in 2007. It perfectly captures a sense of 'schadenfreude' or deliberate mischief, making it the go-to template for situations where someone is calmly observing a disaster they likely caused or find amusing. Over the years, it has been used to satirize everything from personal life failures to major corporate blunders, remaining a staple of internet culture.
