The "Lizard Button" meme features a 3D animated green lizard about to press or having just pressed a red button. The image originates from a segment of the German children's television show "Die Sendung mit der Maus" (The Show with the Mouse), which explained the mechanism of a button. In meme culture, it typically represents a scenario where someone faces a choice, often between a logical, sensible option and a seemingly irrational or self-sabotaging one. The meme is used to illustrate the temptation to make a bad decision, knowing full well the negative consequences that will follow, often for a fleeting gain or out of sheer stubbornness. It highlights dilemmas, poor judgment, or a humorous acceptance of impending doom due to a questionable choice.
