Replying to:Cheese BiscuitIve never understood this joke, or where it even came from
The content is Zeus had made someone push a boulder up a hill for the rest of his life, whenever he failed or got to the top it restart with a bigger boulder and he could never stop pushing a boulder, so I guess it means like internal pain or unhappiness

It’s the Greek tale of Sisyphus, a man who wronged Hades and was forced to push a boulder up a mountain for eternity. It’s supposed to represent struggle, and it has spurred plenty of philosophical talks. With that came the internet, and they have a new, slightly ironic take on the eternal, looping struggle of Sisyphus.

On top of what anomaly said
Camus , a writer dude talked about how even meaningless and un-ending task can make us happy via our freedom to have our own responses to said task
“One can imagine Sisyphus happy” is the quote most famously stuck with this meme
Oh, alright
I understood the Sisyphus part, but never got the joke itself
