A better way to ask, "fish or cut bait" or "piss or get off the pot"; in other words, to tell someone to be decisive in making a decision.

Literally it probably refers to a situation where you're competing for a woman with another guy.

In other words: "Are you going to fuck her(ie. win), fight him(ie. TRY to win), or hold a light up for his convenience while he fucks her?(ie. be a total loser)"

Sort of a takeoff on the whole "fight or flee" natural evolutionary response.

Solarpunk is a movement focused on a positive, ecological vision for a future where technology is used for human-centric and ecocentric purposes. It is a literary, artistic and aesthetic sub-genre and is also closely tied to eco-political activism. Solarpunk narratives have a distinctly positive and utopian foundation in contrast to the often dystopian visions found within other "punk" science fiction genres.

In more tribal times, one tribe would attack another just before dawn, when it is darkest (thus the true mean of its always darkest before the dawn). Rape was one of the traditional spoils of war, so members of the invading force would either rape the women of the opposing tribe, fight the opposing tribes soldiers, or hold the light so other soldiers could see who they were attacking and raping.
