About Both Buttons Pressed

The "Both Buttons Pressed" meme originates from the webcomic "Petirep" by Petirep and Jake Clark. It typically features a character presented with two large red buttons, each representing a distinct, often conflicting, option or dilemma. Instead of choosing one, the character presses both simultaneously with a satisfied expression and a thumbs-up. The meme's meaning revolves around rejecting a forced choice and instead opting to combine or achieve both possibilities, usually for humorous or advantageous outcomes. It’s widely used to illustrate situations where one cleverly bypasses a dilemma, expresses a desire for "having it all," or simply refuses to compromise between two desirable yet seemingly exclusive options.
