This is a satirical political meme that jokes about the length of Abdel Fattah el-Sisi's presidency in Egypt.

This meme uses the popular Mocking SpongeBob format to joke about tensions around the strategic Hormuz Strait shipping lane. The top text first quotes a statement attributed to Donald Trump claiming "The Hormuz Strait situation is over", followed by a sarcastic restatement of the same line attributed to Iran, written in alternating upper and lower case, a common internet convention for mocking speech. Below the text is a distorted, dazed-looking image of SpongeBob SquarePants, the standard visual component of the Mocking SpongeBob meme used to emphasize sarcastic rejection of the prior statement. The title references the Schrödinger's cat thought experiment, implying the status of the Hormuz Strait situation is ambiguously both resolved and unresolved depending on which party's perspective is considered.

This meme is divided into two horizontal panels to humorously contrast the same statement across different times of the year. The left panel, labeled "1st of January," features a cheerful, animated character with a bright smile and wide eyes, accompanied by the text "I haven't showered since last year." Here, the phrase is lighthearted because "last year" refers to the previous day (December 31st of the prior year). The right panel, labeled "31st of December," shows a dark, aged, and unsettling black-and-white character with a sinister smile and sunken eyes, using the identical text. The joke hinges on the double meaning of "since last year": by December 31st, the character has ostensibly gone nearly a full year without showering, resulting in a dramatically deteriorated appearance. The visual contrast—colorful/animated vs. black-and-white/creepy—amplifies the humor of the exaggerated scenario.

The second panel shows the same scene, with the man smiling wider, captioned 'Now it's time for even worse days'. The joke uses dark, relatable sarcasm to reference the widespread perception that global conditions were continuously deteriorating in 2022, after many people hoped earlier crises like the COVID-19 pandemic's peak were the worst of the period's problems.
