The 'Dying in a Glue Trap' meme is a subgenre of internet irony and 'staring rodent' memes that often parodies motivational religious quotes. It typically features a mouse or a small creature caught in a sticky situation—literally—paired with dramatic text like 'I am dying in a glue trap' or a play on the phrase 'God gives his toughest battles to his strongest soldiers.' Emerging from the depths of niche Twitter and Instagram shitposting circles around 2021, the meme captures a specific blend of nihilism, absurdity, and relatability. It has since evolved into a versatile template used to express feelings of being stuck in avoidable yet catastrophic circumstances.
