In one strip, a character stands in front of a cereal aisle with hundreds of options. The internal monologue humorously captures the overwhelming feeling: "I just want cereal... why is this so hard?" This simple yet relatable scenario highlights how an abundance of choices can make even the simplest decisions feel daunting.

Another strip delves into the paradox of choice in the context of dating apps. The protagonist swipes through endless profiles, each seemingly more perfect than the last. Eventually, they realize that the endless options have made it impossible to find someone truly compatible. The punchline? "Maybe I should have stuck with meeting people in person."

SMBC's take on the paradox of choice reminds us to appreciate simplicity and to recognize that sometimes, fewer options can lead to greater satisfaction. It's a humorous yet poignant commentary on the challenges of modern life.
