MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY 2123 EXHIBIT 37
The image presented shows a person profile view, with their face partially obscured by a combination of a face mask and a face shield, commonly used personal protective equipment during health crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic. The background is nondescript and dark, with the focus solely on the individual's head and upper shoulders. The person is wearing glasses, and their hair is styled in a way that it is combed neatly on top with shorter sides.
At the top of the image, there is text that reads "MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY, 2123," suggesting the scene is set in a future context, precisely a hundred years from the time the image is shared. This addition of a futuristic date sets the stage for the humor that follows, as it positions the image as a pseudo-historical exhibit from a distant future that viewers can "look back" upon.
Below the person's profile, more text reads "EXHIBIT #37: homo libtardius, extinct circa 2035." This is where the humor is most explicitly intended. The term "homo libtardius" is a fabricated and colloquial twist on scientific nomenclature, blending "Homo" (the human genus) with "libtard," a derogatory slang term often used to mock someone with liberal political views. Portraying this as an exhibit suggests that, in this imagined future, such individuals have been categorized as an extinct subgroup of humans.
