It's the worst type of headache

This meme parodies common infographics that illustrate different types of headaches by marking the area of pain on a drawn head. It features a 2x2 grid: the first three entries are common headache causes: 1) Migraine, with a small red pain spot on the upper right of the head; 2) Hyperintention (a likely typo for hypertension), with a larger red pain area on the upper left of the head; 3) Stress, with a horizontal red pain band across the top of the head. The fourth entry is the punchline: "Being stuck between Germany and Russia", where the entire upper half of the head is red, matching the design of the Polish flag, rendered as a Poland/Countryball character. The joke implies that Poland's longstanding geopolitical position between the two larger nations is the most painful, severe type of headache possible.
