The Three Buttons meme is an expanded variation of the famous 'Daily Struggle' or 'Two Buttons' comic strip created by animator Jake Clark in 2014. While the original featured a character sweating over two conflicting choices, the internet evolved the format to include a third button to represent increasingly complex or absurd dilemmas. It typically depicts a character in a state of high anxiety, unable to choose between three options that are often mutually exclusive or equally problematic. This template has become a staple for social commentary, gaming frustrations, and relatable everyday indecision.
