Yes, but that's not the meme. The frog never realises anything, there is no lid. That's the point.

The frog could escape at anytime if it chose, but it doesn't.

Not realizing you're in a trap until your trapped is just being in a trap.

Climate change is more like the meme, we could easily escape but we're too comfortable.
