It's the only thing which keeps the working class going, isn't it?

Two text labels are overlaid on the visual: 'the entire working class' placed on the large boulder, and 'weekends' placed on the human figure pushing the boulder

This meme adapts the classic allegorical visual of Sisyphus, the figure from Greek mythology cursed to eternally push a boulder up a hill only for it to roll back down repeatedly. In this edited version, the massive heavy boulder is labeled to represent the entire working class, while the figure straining to push the boulder uphill is labeled to represent weekends. The joke communicates a widely relatable sentiment for working people, implying that the small reprieve of weekend rest is the only motivating force that allows the working class to keep pushing through the drudgery and difficulty of their weekly work obligations.

This meme is sourced from an RSS feed of Reddit's meme focused communities. It is a remix of the extremely popular Sisyphus boulder-pushing meme template, which is commonly used across global social media platforms to humorously comment on themes of unending labor, heavy unmanageable burdens, and perseverance through repetitive draining tasks.
