5 year old me gaining consciousness and realizing that I am alive:

i dont even think it's because of the sun exploding but I just think knowing the sun will explode makes us think about the bigger picture about our universe and how small we really are in it

all jokes aside this music is gorgeous

This clip is the gift that keeps on giving

Little Timmy is shivering in his timbers

jokes aside can we talk about that music? somehow it perfectly encapsulates the existential horror that is the digital circus, while also being just a really beautiful piece in general

I cannot understate how much stuff like this fucked me up, knowledge that is honestly left in a book and not in your head spiraling well beyond the bounds of practicality into anxiety and existential dread. I've gotten better but I'm reminded of some lovecraftian quotes that essentially amount to. "Sometimes its best not to know."

pomni's facial expressions are the best part of the episode

*Me realizing that there are two months left until 2024 and I still haven't finished processing 2020:*

Average civilian in the mcu after the 96th alien invasion

When I found this out as a kid, I felt extinsenial dread every night. No joke, I couldn’t stop questioning the meaning of life, and that fucks with you at 10 years old. It got better as I got older, now I only question if my existence means anything 1/4 nights

7 year old me realizing the fridge light actually turns off when you close the door:

Honestly. I started crying bc I thought humanity would last that long and cities would be burned to a crisp 😭

off topic but this music in this scene makes me feel a emotion I've never felt.

I pray this doesn’t turn into a hazbin hotel incident. I need this show man. The amount of personality in each character is too perfect!

I remember hearing that as a 7 year old kid and it absolutely broke my mind. Actually panicking when I heard. Reminds me we’re all doomed eventually.

Why did I immediately think this scene was meant to resemble "The Last Supper" when I first saw it

My dad at Thanksgiving after his team loses the football game:

5 year old me learning I'll die someday

For me it was the fact that even if I’m dead and decomposing, anything I might have once known that still remains would be destroyed, and that fucked me up as a kid

Seeing cosmic horror as a kid changes you forever

Ironically the fact that first introduced me to the concept of mortality.

Pov: your friend just said the most diabolical thing ever spoken by a human being:

Teenage me finally grasping that I will inevitably die and there is literally nothing I can do to prevent it

the sun exploding is no match for the undying will of humanity

This video made me go and watch the show, not even realizing what it was or who it was made by. I am now addicted to TADC and cannot stop thinking of it's lore and story, knowing that I'm gonna have to think while waiting months for a new episode. My feed on KZfaq is also now filled to the brim with TADC and Pomni, so thank you for getting me addicted to this series/pilot.

When you watch that old movie that you loved as a kid, only to it be the worst thing you’ve seen in your life.

God tier scene, well done by GLITCH studios. The orchestra hits way too damn hard for me, I fuckin love that shit.

At the young age of 15, realizing your parents will get old and there's nothing to stop it.

Omg so relatable tho also random but I'D TOTALLY EAT THAT POTATO! I don't like potatoes at all but that the low polygon count on that potato makes it look even tastier

As a child, after a friend of mine told me that a meteorite would crash the next day, Pomni's reaction is the same as my reaction.

How fortunate we are, to be born just in time to not die in the heat death of the universe.

The other characters are the other kids who say "who cares, we're gonna be dead already" but that doesn't stop me from visualizing the horror of those beings who will be born right when the Sun will explode

This actually fits so well lmao, the minor existential moments you had as a kid over dumb stuff is crazy. Like, I once had a moment like this when I found out the Brontosaurus wasn't a real dinosaur. I got paranoid thinking about all the other dinosaurs that might not exist.

I love how ADC has so many memes despite it having only 1 episode

Its something about the music, it feels so... Cheery and happy like everything should and will be okay but, theres something in it that makes me feel dread in every fiber of my being. It's a damn shame the music sounds awsome so imma keep listening to it

When my mom told me that when I was like 5, I didn’t grasp how far away that is and I was like “100 years omg!!” because I didn’t understand time and back then my tiny poopoo brain thought 100 was actually a big number, but I just kind of.. accepted it. I just kinda went “yeah okay at least I’ll be dead”. I am not surprised of my current mental state, looking back

I can already see edits of this becoming a top meme of the year! 🤡🎭🐇🧶👑

Dude, hearing about this whole "sun exploding" thing panicked me for ages on end, starting sometime in 2017 if I can remember correctly. But this year, I've found good ways to stray myself away from this and convince myself that thinking about that kind of stuff is trite of me.

When I was a kid, you couldn’t change my face for being sad. I was completely in that phase where I like didn’t care about anything, unless it was in VR.

**rolling on the ground, ROLLING ON THE GROUND**

I recall the first time I was thinking about death. It was on a drive back home from kindergarten I believe since it was dark and for some reasons thoughts of death flooded my thoughts. I still remember my chest tightening.

the music perfectly captures the emotion in the scene, the sudden existential dread and realization of futility that drives one mad is spot on for a character now trapped in the digital world with seemingly no way to escape

I imagined the sun expanding onto earth and clipping through my walls and killing me

I am really the only one that wasn't worried about this as a kid? My thoughs were "well I still have a lot of time left until then"

Me as the group clown realizing none of my friends will miss me and already starting to ignore me

They shouldn’t have told us about this at such a young age. I was having an existential crisis for months after that.

I was so scared when I found this out as a kid💀

me at 4 years old spontaneously becoming self aware of my existence:

god i cant get enough of this version of the main theme dude. i keep clicking on these memes just to hear it over and over again it hits that good spot in my ears its so perfect i just AUGHHH

Five year old me realizing dogs can't eat chocolate fly high bro 💀

I remember that my mom told me "we'll be all gone by then, it's really far far away in the future" and I was like "well...yeah you're right. No problem then" and I kept playing with my toy dinosaurs Such silly little kid I was :)

"Hey guys! Murder Drones Episode 7 came out! ... oh, the sun exploded"

Me when I see an exit door anytime now.

When you realize world war 3 is going to start before this show first season is complete:

Lierally me after learning about the sun's red giant phase as a kid, shit so terrifying that I couldn't sleep that night

I used to feel like this a few years ago, I went through an existential crisis, I thought my life was so meaningless and insignificant compared to the infinite universe I live in, when I discovered that the sun was going to explode it was almost a shock of reality for me, I realize that everything has an end, I would have an end one day, but what then? What would happen to me later? the heaven? the hell? reincarnation? something else? or just pure emptiness with nothing? So what was the purpose of my existence?

God I love that song they used it sounds almost like a cheery, but mysterious sound. It almost has a vibe that Disney has with its cheerfulness however the one they use for this show is hella eerie.

i like how in the end she smiles, making me think she was happy humanity would end

Меня это сильно тревожило в первую очередь из-за того, что вся наша история, культура, музыка, фильмы, книги исчезнут и никто не будет знать о существовании этого всего, а это означает то, что все наши достижения бессмысленны, а это в свою очередь означало что само наше существование бессмысленно.

Everything The evolution of the planet and changes it went through Every struggle that humanity has endured, before and beyond Every belief, idea, religion All of the knowledge we know of Everything that we have done to get where we are even society itself All of its history, stories, acknowledgement of its existence Undone. That's what really fucks me up, and the expression Pomni gives off the same as me

You know the more memes I see about this the more I'm gonna just treat her character like that lmfao

This is not just a meme, this is the random fact about my life.

21 year old me after learning the Andromeda and Milky Way galaxies will collide so far into the future that it probably won't even affect me or my relatives

I was never really scared of death as a child, well at the same time i was, moreso the whole 'oh im gonna die' but at a single thought, one time my mother and her close friend tried to comfort me because i had existencial crisis out of the blue because I always believed that after death you don't ressurect or go to heaven/hell only that there will be an empty void waiting for us and that terrified me.

Pomni slowly accepting her new life is just sad

As someone who didn't had a concept of time until I was around 12-14 years old, this was scary

3 year old me realizing that if you die in real life you dont respawn and collect your loot like in minecraft.

OH MY GOD HOW AM I GONNA SURVIVE

Me trying to enjoy the family Thanksgiving after I clicked the wrong link and I saw the most horrific things the Internet has to offer

When I think about this I hit my head and after a while I forget that I ever thought about it

Me when I have to wait 6 months for the next episode:

That's the BEST part of all the episode The music is perfect

7 year old me realizing that everyone including myself will perish

The universe sees all, but remembers nothing.

no. I need to see how jax eat- NO CAMERA DONT ZOOM IN-

I personally don't remember having this particular experience, although I wouldn't be surprised if most of us, in some point in their life got scared when discovering/facing the existence of "The Inevitable", the stuff that is going to happen, *no matter what* ,*no matter when*

very smart meme, I should take inspiration

7 year old me after randomly maturing and realizing how bad as a son I have been and all the problems that I have been causing to my parents:

Whoever worked on the music for the series is so good especially the ending of the episode

For my childhood, it was the idea of a black hole. Shit scared me more than any 00s creepypasta/teen-girl heart throb ever could.

the way we all felt at the age of 10 learning that the sun would explode in 2030

Good to know that Digital Circus has had so much of an impact that these kinds of memes are popping up everywhere.

me after spending all the time playing alone and being called for lunch realizing that the whole time my cousins were here and i could've invite them to play with me but now it's to late (after they finish eating they have to go):

For some reason I pay attention to the rest of the gang talking and thinking what they could be talking about.

i remember when i found out, i already had trouble with the whole dying stuff but when i realized that even if by some chance i could live for ever it wouldn't even matter and in my mind i felt so overwhelmed by the universe and its irony, probably my first or second experience feeling that melancolic and terrifiying feeling im addicted to now a days, existentialism is kinda beautiful in a really messed up way, that's why i have high hopes about this project cus it plays with that feeling

I was like, 5, I think when I found out. It was late and my family was driving back from IKEA with a bunch of new furniture, so we were in one of those rental trucks. I’m not sure how the conversation got to “the sun will explode” but that FUCKKKEDD me up as a kid. The universe scares me so bad. And looking back on it, I think the fact that I won’t be there scared me really bad. (Not that I’d want to be obliterated by the sun, just mortality stuff.)

Me after 5 billion years being touched by the snail and not dying, being cursed to expirence not dying forever:

I feel this but I feel like it’s even worse when you grow up religious and you get to the constant reminders of end days…good times. I remember not so fondly upon laying in bed thinking I’d be absolutely smited

Relatable

Me when I was 11 and learned about the concepts of "eternity" and "time ending"

Ngl this clip reminds me of the first time i watched ONE (it's an object show, i dont expect there to be overlap lmao). The main character being trapped in a fake world trying so hard to escape, the song that gets stuck in your head forever, the freakiness of it all, otber characters not understanding or caring about the freakiness of it all. Perfect

Me realising how much I have to grind after the first few planets in warframe (it is very frustrating)

It’s honestly kinda sad, even if we’ll all be dead by then, all of sorts the surrounding things and life will just.. die. Everything gone.

Yeah seriously, I remember sitting in a school assembly for an hour or two just thinking about the sun exploding in 5 billion years after reading it in a book.

man i love XDDCC she's my favorite character

I'm always so relieved to know that the Earth is not going to exist the way we know it far down the line, that it will like be vaporized or just turned into an uninhabitable rock. Just makes things feel simpler.

"um actually its 7-8 billion years not 5" ☝🤓

I remember being traumatized by a How The Universe Works episode that showed that. Then I become an astronomy kid

I saw that one comment too lmao, I’m glad u made it into a meme
