AboutWhat does the meme depict?

The "Daily Struggle" meme features an exploitable comic of a character faced with a difficult decision between two contrasting options, represented by two red buttons. Each button is labeled with a statement that directly opposes the other. The character, showing signs of distress and perspiration, appears conflicted about which button to press.

OriginWho did it first?

The "Daily Struggle" meme was created by animator Jake Clark and first appeared on his Tumblr blog on October 25th, 2014. The inaugural comic presents a character, evidently agitated and sweating, contemplating between the choices "BE A DICK" and "DON'T BE A DICK." Clark credits the meme's inspiration to the 'Sweating Towel Guy' illustration and Hank Nova, a character from the video game Timesplitters 2. This comic quickly captured the attention of the online community, becoming a popular template for representing tough decision-making scenarios.^[1]
