AboutWhat does the meme depict?

The "Daily Struggle" meme features an exploitable comic strip depicting a character in a state of distress, faced with a decision between two red buttons. Each button is labeled with contrasting choices. The character, depicted as sweating and uncomfortable, represents the universal feeling of being torn between difficult options.

OriginWho did it first?

The "Daily Struggle" meme originated from an animation post on Tumblr by Jake Clark on October 25th, 2014. The comic shows a character troubled over choosing between two buttons, one labeled "BE A DICK" and the other "DON'T BE A DICK." Clark drew inspiration for the meme from the Sweating Towel Guy illustration and the character Hank Nova from the video game Timesplitters 2, as detailed in this Reddit discussion.^[1]
