Two Buttons

2015 — 2016

“Both buttons. Always both buttons.”

Obituary

Two Buttons presented a man with a red button and a blue button, one labeled with something you want and one labeled with the cost of wanting it: 'Press the button and get $1 million' / 'Press the button and a random meme dies.' It was the internet's favorite moral philosophy: the trolley problem, but with snacks. It died in 2016 when every possible pairing had been made, leaving the poor man frozen at the console, hand hovering, for eternity. He never pressed either button. He is still deciding.
