About

The Thing That Killed refers to a phrasal template popularized on Twitter in winter 2021. The template sets up an exaggerated reaction to an innocuous suggestion by pointing out a technically true fact about a historical death, i.e. "You want me to get in a car? The thing that killed Princess Diana?"

The Child Coin

Whoever launches this meme first creates its one official child coin of $MEME. The child coin takes this exact image, is priced in $MEME, and pays 1% of its every trade to its holders, in $MEME. After that, the meme is closed here forever.
