In a group of five friends, the fifth friend can be considered a spare tire.
The spare tire is there to replace one of the other friends if they should become absent. The fifth friend is usually the least liked, and is only enjoyed by the others when their numbers start to shrink.
The spare tire is easily replaceable and cannot do anything against the group or risk being replaced. The spare is also subject to harsh criticism by the four.
As Jimmy was sick that day, Daniel the Spare Tire, would get to take his place

When your shitpost is liked more than the work you actually put effort into.
An artist wakes up and paints, putting an enormous amount of effort and time into it. When it is complete, the artist puts this out to the public (usually via social media) and receives minimal feedback about it. Possibly 5 likes. The artist then creates a shitpost in under five minutes and posts it, receiving grand critical reception and more than 100,000 likes.
Artist: "Man, I spent two years on that piece and nobody cares. Then I draw Garfield getting head from George Bush and that's all I'm known for. "
Friend: "Sounds like you've finally encountered The Shitpost Dilemma."
