Which is it? Quantum Superposition Dog Demonstration

This meme shows a real white dog positioned awkwardly across multiple levels of an outdoor park picnic table: the dog's hind half sits/lies on the upper bench seat, its front legs stand on a lower bench seat, and its head rests on the tabletop. The overlaid text jokes that this awkward pose is a demonstration of quantum superposition, the quantum physics concept of a system existing in multiple distinct states at once. The punchline is that the dog is simultaneously standing, sitting, and lying down, making a silly relatable joke about pop science explanations of quantum mechanics.
