The 'Dick Flattening' or 'Yes Honey' meme originated from a 2018 Twitter post before evolving into its iconic Wojak format in 2020. It features a female character enthusiastically announcing a painful task while a tired, hollow-eyed male character reluctantly complies. The meme symbolizes the feeling of being trapped in a grueling routine, the soul-sucking nature of certain expectations, or the general exhaustion of modern life. It has since branched out to represent anything from corporate demands to obsessive gaming habits, where the 'flattening' stands in for any repetitive, draining activity that one feels obligated to endure.
