Two Paths

While its exact viral origin is not tied to a single event, the imagery has been used for decades to illustrate dilemmas and choices. In meme culture, it's frequently customized with text labels on the paths or destinations to humorously or critically highlight contrasting options, choices, or their perceived consequences in various everyday, social, or political contexts. It's a versatile template for comparison and decision-making scenarios.
