Meme lore
What is the Water Quarter Mile meme?
Water Quarter Mile, also called Desert Dilemma, is a two-path cartoon: a dehydrated man crawls past nearby fresh water toward a farther, worse destination. Put the tempting choice on the 21-mile sign. The baked water sign stays the sensible option he ignores.
Origin & history
The original illustration shows a parched man crawling between Fresh Water 1/4 mile and Girl's College & Hostel 21 miles. He crawls toward the hostel. The artist is unknown. Remixes replace the far sign so the subject still picks lust, laziness, or a bad habit over the obvious fix.
