About

Unfortunately, the Clock Is Ticking is a quote about mortality from the 1988 novel Dance, Dance, Dance by Japanese writer Haruki Murakami. In January 2014, a notification window meme based on the quote was posted on Tumblr, offering options "I Understand" and "Remain Ignorant." The quote eventually inspired a series of memes featuring a sad cat celebrating his birthday and other imagery in the early 2020s that used the notification window as an exploitable.
