AboutWhat does the meme depict?

The "Daily Struggle" meme template features a comic strip depicting a character in a state of distress, facing a difficult choice between two red buttons. Each button is explicitly labeled with opposing directives. The character, sweating and anxious, appears torn between pushing one of the buttons, reflecting a moment of inner conflict and decision-making.

OriginWho did it first?

The meme originated from a post on Tumblr by animator Jake Clark on October 25th, 2014. In the post, the character, drawn in a cartoonish style, is depicted as sweating and uncomfortable while deciding between two options: "BE A DICK" and "DON'T BE A DICK." Clark attributes the inspiration for this comic to the Sweating Towel Guy illustration and the character Hank Nova from the video game Timesplitters 2, as discussed in a Reddit thread.^[1]
