The ‘Humans Saw This’ Tiktok meme, explained. Are you kidding me?Nature always wins, a trend that highlights anti-capitalist desires.

The Humans Saw This meme took off on social media in August 2024. People post photos and videos of gorgeous natural scenery with a simple message saying, “Humans saw this and invented…”

Posts end with something that is an invention of human society that they imply is mundane or wasteful of the human existence, such as Excel, the SATs, or capitalism.

The juxtaposition of the two is typically a stark comparison. Essentially saying, nothing that humans create could compare to the natural beauty displayed in the posts.
