Easy way or difficult way corn meme

This two-panel comparative meme illustrates two different ways to end up with corn kernels in your toilet, framing them as the easy short-term choice vs. the difficult long-term choice that leads to the same outcome. The top panel uses the classic 3D figure stepping on a rake meme, showing the figure immediately stepping on a rake and getting hit in the face, labeled 'Throwing Corn kernels in toilet' as the instant, low-effort bad choice. The bottom panel uses the skateboard trick sequence meme, showing a man performing a long series of complex skateboard grinds down a stair rail, only to end by stepping on a rake and getting hit in the face, labeled 'Eating corn and then pooping them undigested next day' as the longer, more delayed process that still results in the same end consequence of corn in the toilet. The joke leans into the common relatable experience that corn is frequently undigested when passed as waste, so eating corn leads to the same result as just throwing it directly in the toilet, just after more time and steps.

Origin notes

This meme was sourced from the RSS feed of Reddit's r/Meme subreddit, with the original title 'Easy way or difficult way'. It is a remix of two widely used existing meme templates: the 3D humanoid 'stepping on a rake' template, and the 2D cartoon 'skateboard trick sequence leading to stepping on a rake' template, combined to create a new joke about the experience of undigested corn appearing in stool.
