Disaster Girl is a photoshop meme in which an exploitable photo of a smiling girl is superimposed on to images of natural disasters and accidents to imply that she has caused some type of calamity depicted in the background. It doesn’t seem like it, if the social media frenzy that is my Twitter feed after every new episode of season two drops is any indication. Buckle up, because this one has my vote for weirdest meme of the year. In January, podcaster John Roderick posted a long Twitter thread about refusing to let his young daughter eat beans unless she could figure out how to open the can herself, which...instantly became a meme?
What's An NFT? And Why Are People Paying Millions To Buy Them?
Zoë Roth plans on using the money to pay off her student loans, and will also donate to charities. The Times noted that the photo was taken when Roth was four years old. The local fire department had intentionally set the house on fire in a controlled way, and neighbors had gathered to watch. Although Roth herself may not be a household name, the meme has probably been seen by pretty much anyone who has ever been on the internet. Although the gameplay itself is simple and two-dimensional, similar to that of a visual novel, the pixel art video game tribute to "This Is Fine" Dog received more than 10,000 plays within the month.
"Disaster Girl" is finally cashing in on her viral fame
Green[13] responded to the Republican National Committee's unauthorized use of his artwork by expressing his personal disdain towards the Republican party via Twitter (shown below). In doing so, the team actually has ownership of their online opus, unlike so many other viral mememakers. But in reality, the fire scene was part of a training exercise for firefighters in Mebane, N.C., near where Zoë and her father, Dave Roth, lived. Zoë Roth was internet famous before many of us knew what that was. The transcript has been edited from our original script for clarity.
Green and published in early January 2013, the cartoon is typically used as a reaction image to convey a sense of self-denial or acceptance in the face of a hopeless situation. The fam was scoping out a controlled burn — a fire that’s set intentionally for the purpose of land management — when Dave snapped a photo of his daughter fiendishly smiling in front of the inferno. An NFT of a video clip of LeBron James dunking recently sold for more than $200,000. Nyan Cat, a popular meme from 2011 that features an animated flying cat, sold for nearly $600,000.
Noodle the pug’s no-bones days
In response to initial vaccine hesitancy, Twitter users helpfully pointed out the decidedly mysterious ingredients people have willingly consumed. The master interviewer’s appalled reactions to Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s struggles with the royal family became applicable to all of us commoners. Through Friday, the streets and sidewalks in the area around the courthouse were generally wide open and crowds have been small and largely orderly.
The image won a contest for JPG Magazine, per News & Observer, It was published in the February/March 2008 issue of the magazine as well as on its website and that led to the image spreading like wildfire (pun intended), Refinery29 reports. On December 18th, 2020, KYM interviewed Zoe as part of their editorial series that follows up on people featured in prominent memes. In the interview, we spoke with Roth to get a glimpse into what it was like growing up with her image plastered all around the internet — even to this day. The photograph of the girl and the burning house was taken by Dave Roth[1] in January 2005[2] during the local fire department's live drill training two blocks away from his home in Mebane, North Carolina. While observing the fire, Dave caught his daughter, Zoe, smiling devilishly juxtaposed against the burning house.

Heads up that some elements (i.e. music, sound effects, tone) are harder to translate to text. Roth noted in the News & Observer interview that her meme is one that has endured.

Fire engine sirens were a normal thing for Roth and her family, as they lived down the street from a fire station. On this fateful night, the fire was a controlled burn on a property near Roth's house to clear the land. Her father thought the fire was an opportune time to test out his new camera. The Roth family lived near a fire station in Mebane, North Carolina, and as they watched a house being burned for training, Roth's father, an amateur photographer, took her picture. Before long, people on the internet started photoshopping Roth into photos of catastrophes ranging from the sinking of the Titanic to 9/11 and sharing it on social media sites.
"As long as I've been on social media, it's also been there doing its own thing," she recently told The News & Observer in Raleigh, N.C. As for Zoë Roth, all that internet fame has continued to puzzle her. Ms. Roth remembers watching the flames engulf the house when her father, an amateur photographer, asked her to smile. With her hair askew and a knowing look in her eyes, Ms. Roth flashed a devilish smirk as the fire roared behind her.
She's looking back at the camera knowingly, leaving the viewer to suspect she had something to do with this disaster. A clip of Usher from his Tiny Desk performance somehow led to one of the most one-size-fits-all memes of the year, as enterprising social media users turned the singer crooning “watch this” into a response to pretty much anything. Reality holds a crushing weight, one that can only properly be articulated through these memes, and they're helpful in our coping process. It's often hard to describe why, but we typically relate to these memes on another level, even if they're not directly about someone like us.

When Roth's father showed Zoe the images, he created a history lesson around them to help her understand the significance of the events her photo was in front of, Refinery29 reports. Listen, I think any of us would sound pretty stupid if our, ahem, romantic texts went viral, but sadly Adam Levine’s are just too funny not to be turned into infinite memes. In January, a photo of the U.S. senator and onetime presidential candidate all bundled up in a coat, mask, and mittens at President Joe Biden’s inauguration went inexplicably viral. The mittens he wore had been made for him by a Vermont teacher, and proved that you can still be meme-able well into your 80s. "We may have to shut this area down," New York City Police Department Deputy Commissioner Kaz Daughtry said at a news conference outside the courthouse Friday, adding that officials would discuss the security plan soon. The Roths kept the copyright to the photo, and will receive 10 percent of future sales, the Times reported.
