The 'Honey, It’s Time to X' meme, also known as 'Honey, It's Time for Your 4 PM Flattening,' originated from a surrealist Wojak comic posted on Twitter in early 2020. The image depicts a depressed-looking male character responding to a female character's demand with a weary 'Yes, dear.' It quickly evolved into a popular format used to represent a feeling of helplessness or resignation toward repetitive and unpleasant tasks. While the original was highly specific and bizarre, the internet adapted it into a universal template for any situation where someone feels forced into a soul-crushing routine.
