Truthful and Lying Assistants

Text on the meme

One of these buttons will accept the terms and conditions, the other one will not. We have provided two assistants to help you decide. One of them always tells the truth, the other one always lies. Click Click Assistant 1 Hello, I will answer all your questions honestly. Which button is the other? What would the other assistant tell me to do? Why is this so difficult? Assistant 2 Hello, I will answer all your questions honestly. Which button is the other? What would the other assistant tell me to do? I am stuck, help!

What it means

A computer dialog presents two identical-looking buttons, while two assistants offer contradictory help about which button accepts the terms and conditions. The joke adapts the classic truth-teller and liar puzzle to an absurdly confusing user interface, making both assistants equally unhelpful. It is sent as a reaction to impossible choices, confusing instructions, or interfaces designed to frustrate the user.
