The 'Quick 20-Minute Adventure' meme originates from the Rick and Morty Season 3 episode 'Rest and Ricklaxation.' The scene features Rick persuading a reluctant Morty to join him for a brief, harmless trip, which immediately cuts to the pair sobbing and traumatized six days later. This template has become a universal symbol for projects, tasks, or life decisions that were supposed to be simple but spiraled into absolute chaos. It is widely used by the tech community to describe 'minor' bug fixes and by students to describe 'quick' study sessions that lasted all night.
