Gavin Dorman, 10
Gavin Dorman, 10 is a reaction meme from a July 2023 The Onion satire where a smiling kid shrugs off climate change with "Honestly, it's fine. I have a feeling I wasn't going to do much with my life anyway"—resurfacing on TikTok and Instagram in late August 2026.
More about this meme
The Onion published "Kids React To Climate Change" on July 17, 2023, pairing fake kid quotes with stock-style photos. Gavin Dorman, age 10, delivered the nihilist one-liner that later became the meme's anchor caption.
The screenshot lay dormant until Instagram user blephin_ reposted it August 20, 2026 (211,000 likes). TikTok edits followed: @j_11.201 spotted the photo in a school textbook (596,000 views), @miaow3333 flipped the quote to an optimistic healing variant (675,000 views), and fatal-heart-attack parodies spread through early September. Know Your Meme filed a submission September 11, 2026.
