Sorry for your loss

[-] Candelestine@lemmy.world 72 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

It's funny how you can roughly ballpark the education level of a random internet user by how they interpret the word "meme".

[-] Goodie@lemmy.world 68 points 2 years ago

It's also because the blocks form "Loss." The infamous Ctrl Alt Del comic.

[-] clearedtoland@lemmy.world 34 points 2 years ago

This is metameta meme. It’s a meme about something that’s not a meme referring to another very specific meme.

spoilerI was about to give a real link to explanation of this meme, but it would be a missed opportunity. Anyway, here you go: knowyourmeme.com/memes/loss

I guess we could say that John is at a loss

[-] SuperSpruce@lemmy.ml 43 points 2 years ago

I've taken math beyond Calculus and proof based math and I'm still not sure what this is supposed to be other than a demonstration of 2D transformations.

Oh god! How many people are commenting something about loss on this post and I had to be, almost literally, smacked on the forehead with it before I got it.

Thanks!

I'm at a loss, what could it mean?

Let me translate it for you:

[-] Mouette@jlai.lu 34 points 2 years ago

I can't help but hate this meme so much. I feel like it's just a poor dude who shared a legit sad thing and now everyone is making fun of him

[-] drcobaltjedi@programming.dev 41 points 2 years ago

The biggest problem I think people have with loss is it is a huge tonal and emotional shift from the rest of the comic series.

The guy is a really annoying tone deaf weirdo who only cares about games for the longest time. A lot of the punchlines ib the comics were "violence". Finally gets a GF, and treats her kinda poorly on the comic, and then bam loss comes out. It feels a bit like whiplash and is trying to be serious and sad when it never was serious or sad, but """"zany"""" and non consiquential.

[-] Uniquitous@lemmy.one 22 points 2 years ago

Sometimes a comic artist just has a moment where they take it way off the rails. Remember the time Garfield woke up all alone in the house? Haha fat kitty lasagna mondays amirite? Oh wait a sec, let's have some existential fucking terror for a moment.

[-] Mouette@jlai.lu 15 points 2 years ago

I learnt about it way later after it happened through some random website that explains memes. Maybe it made sense at the time but when you come to it without a lot of context it just hit as sad.

[-] drcobaltjedi@programming.dev 18 points 2 years ago

In a vaccum and without context, loss is, IMO, good and sad. Wordlessly explaining the dudes panic and his shared greif with his SO quite well.

Unfortunately for this particular comic, there is a lot context that makes it feel very weird, tone deaf, and uncomfortable.

I'm really trying to figure out if you guys don't get it, or are just pretending like you don't...

[-] bitsplease@lemmy.ml 16 points 2 years ago

I didn't get it until I read this comment and thought more closely about it - so I guess put me in the stupid camp lol

[-] thanks_shakey_snake@lemmy.ca 19 points 2 years ago

I'm irrationally agitated about Scale and Rotation involving a translation and that this is not called out in the meme.

Like it looks like "translation" is just "nothing happens" and this is going to bother me all day please help.

Just post it over and over again and it becomes a meme.

The mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell.

[-] ThatWeirdGuy1001@lemmy.world 16 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

This was never funny. I hate how the Internet just grabs some random stupid thing and then won't shut up about it for years.

Downvote to your hearts content idc

[-] SpaceMan9000@lemmy.world 23 points 2 years ago

It's a primo meme and it's your loss for thinking it's not funny...

[-] dmention7@lemm.ee 21 points 2 years ago

I'll take "the literal definition of a meme, which is coincidentally also the name of the sub I am currently commenting on" for $800, Alex.

I was willing to accept your judgement of "this was never funny" until I got to the rick and morty panel and realized you don't have a clue what funny actually is.
