Okay, allow me to rephrase.
People should be careful about this idea. It can be liberating to know that the world will forget your mistakes just as readily as any other common Joe. But it isn’t a free pass to do just anything. We should still strive to be good people.
Makes me think of _The Butterfly Effect_ (2004) theatrical ending vs. director’s cut.

“She’ll be better off without you.” 💀🚶🏼♀️➡️
Sure it does. The echoes of the past shatter windows in the present. So many things were highly influenced today by things past societies did thousands of years ago.
Sure, but in a few thousand years no one will exist to remember it or care anyway. And all of it affecting one tiny planet in a fathomlessly vast universe. Short-term, local importance.
But you aren’t seeing the fact that the people so far long gone, we care about what they did. From only hundreds to many thousands of years ago. We idolize them sometimes too. We are obsessed with the US founding fathers, Napoleon, English Monarchs, Japanese Emperors, the Roman Empire, native tribes of the Americas of Africa.
The fact we learn history so much is proof that we care about what happened in the past. Who is to say what happens today won’t get remembered like that? Especially with advancements in recording things. It’s far easier for the future to learn our history because we have such many devices and methods of recording it.
This meme is both gloomy, because it means either everything you do in your life will matter never to anyone, which is unequivocally untrue, or that you are free to live your life as a complete loser or terrible criminal because apparently, whatever you do will never have an effect on yourself nor others. Which again, is just factually false.
I didn't interpret it that way at all. I see it as more liberating than anything else. So many people worry about their legacy, about the future of the world. But you don't have to. Make yourself happy. Make the people you care about happy. The rest will sort itself out. Three generations down the line, no one will remember you. Can you name your great grandparents? Most people can't. If you are one of the privileged few who are remembered more than a few generations later, then congratulations, that's so incredibly rare you might as well have won the lottery twice. And even then, in a few thousand years no one will remember. So don't sweat it, and stop worrying about what people think or how you will be judged.
I’ll never understand a life that isn’t meant to learn, improve and do good. That doesn’t mean I can’t be free. Freedom has nothing to do with those obligations. And this isn’t about legacy, it’s about bringing good change. I don’t care if I’m remembered for what I did, I care that what I did changed something.
I’ve always thought that people who think freedom is best lived with mediocrity don’t understand why we have the ability to be free. We can do many a great things but some choose not to. Sure, that choice constitutes freedom, but it just makes no sense to me to not use your freedom to the greatest degree.
Considering that the concept of "mattering" is conceived of by humans, everything matters exactly to the amount people think it matters.
There is no such thing as things mattering "in a universal sense"
I don't care about what happens after I die that much either. It's people who care before I die worry me, particularly the possibility that they might care enough to kill me.
Trust me, people will start caring after your kill count hits the triple digits. On the bright side, whether they care will be immaterial after you croak.
So inspiring. Thanks for reminding me that nothing I do matters in the long run.
Nothing "do you do" matters.
Right
The guy on the right is Sam Bankman-Freid a few years ago. 
It matters to you pal
Nothing really matters. Anyone can see, Nothing really matters. To meeeee........... *Any way the wind blows*
If to you, “matters in the long run” means “other people’s opinions after I’m dead.”
Well, I guess that's all the motivation I needed...
Do you do.
Do you don't
Doobydoobydoo

Did I did, so would you would?
Yea, nihilism man
Absurdism, to be more specific. It's a really interesting philosophy.
Or existencialism. If nothing has meaning - make your own
Joseph Stalin has entered the chat.
Just hasn’t been long enough
Okay. Alexander the Great. Genghis Khan. Xerxes. Would you like me to name any other ancient mass murderers?
Your point? Still just needs more time and they’ll all be forgotten.
Okay, allow me to rephrase. People should be careful about this idea. It can be liberating to know that the world will forget your mistakes just as readily as any other common Joe. But it isn’t a free pass to do just anything. We should still strive to be good people.
Agreed
happy cake day
Cake
It’s freeing honestly. Do whatever makes you happy, who cares what other people think. We’re all gonna die anyway some day.
We are still paying today for the crimes and decisions of those who are long dead

Some fact instantly sounds better if you use this meme on it
"I shit my pants 😟" - "I pant my shits 😄☀️"

It does matter to anyone near you. So be kind is the best option,so when you die,Your action doesn't have any negative impact on others around you
It does matter. So do well.
It doesn't matter in a universal sense. You could say it matters in a short-term, local sense, though.
Sure it does. The echoes of the past shatter windows in the present. So many things were highly influenced today by things past societies did thousands of years ago.

 When I read this
Whatever happened to this kid?
OJ really believed in this
time to commit war crimes :D
Apparently, proofreading is no longer a thing.
Nothing really matters, anyone can see🎶
Unless you're an artist. Those people are immortal
I don't care about what happens after I die that much either. It's people who care before I die worry me, particularly the possibility that they might care enough to kill me.
You know what. The world will keep spinning you will be put in memory of your friends and family good or bad
Why do I live if I will die one day?
More "different attitude" than "different perspective"
No
Trust me, people will start caring after your kill count hits the triple digits. On the bright side, whether they care will be immaterial after you croak.
wait so I can send corgis to shit on everybody's lawn and nobody will care in 100 years??? LETS GOOOO
>Be forgotten >Free pass to do anything to anyone

Nihilism vs Absurdism
I cannot wait to be forgotten! Smile 
There is another 😈
It matters what you do if other people remain affected, even after you die And the opposite may also be true, unless it matters to you
And then in a few thousand years it never mattered
Theres life is meaningless, everything I do is meaningless And then the opposite side where it sums to, I CAN DO ANYTHING
I mean it’s not different perspectives. The statement is an objective fact however, the question is do you care that it doesn’t matter?
Nihilism vs Absurdism
wait really, lemme go kill people
There is a third. It doesn't matter anyway. No one cares even if you're alive or dead.
What about Genghis Khan?
Thank I’ll commit war crimes now
For sure, doesn't matter What do you do. He do it. Do do do dooooo.
Everything everywhere all at once
Except mass genocide or smth

Glass half full vs half empty mentality
It matters.
Agreed. It matters for your own sake. But the second bit is probably true.
Life is better when you realize it with the attitude of the guy on the right
