The Two Buttons meme, also known as 'Daily Struggle,' originated from a 2014 comic by animator Jake Clark. It features a character named Hank sweating under the pressure of choosing between two contradictory options represented by buttons. While the original comic featured red buttons, the '1 blue' variation allows for even more specific visual storytelling. The meme exploded in popularity on Tumblr and Reddit, becoming the internet's go-to format for illustrating cognitive dissonance, impossible decisions, and the stress of picking between two equally challenging paths.
