I’m done scrolling trying to figure this out and just accept that this thread makes no sense to me.
Oh it’s a reference to a comic strip where the main character runs to a hospital to find his wife has miscarried.
The strip gained infamy for changing the tone of the comic so adruptly. Look up “loss comic”.
The joke here is that the shapes represent the different characters in the strip, there’s a lot of abstract jokes in the same vein
John must have lost his mind.
God damnit
Took me a second.
took me about a planck time
Took me like 9 hours TBH
I was straight up brushing my teeth and then realised “Oh shit that was Loss.jpg”
Sorry for your loss
I guess we could say that John is at a loss
And nothing of value was lost
:.|:;You forgot shearing!
Just post it over and over again and it becomes a meme.
The mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell.
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
You sound like someone who’s lost The Game.
lol for some reason I’ve always liked this one! I think I just like how it’s become so abstract that people got creative with how to express it
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.
Good thing comedy is subjective
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.
Can you explain what you meant by this?
Dude’s here talking about how much he hates the idea of a meme, on a meme sub.
Yeah it’s a little different when it’s about a fuckin miscarriage.
It’s like the Green Day song Wake Me Up When September Ends
It was a song about remembering his father’s death. Then every October his Twitter was flooded with messages telling him to wake up September is over.
I can only imagine how annoyed the creator of the original comic feels seeing this devastating moment used as a joke for years after
I mean, he did write about his miscarriage in a webcomic that was just goofy pop-nerd humor up to that point, which is the entire reason it became a meme.
If people are sending the dude loss comics on the anniversary, that’s a little fucked up because it’s being used as a personal attack. Which is 100% not the case with the typical loss meme.
Tl;dr I don’t think the guys needs people white knighting for him every time a loss meme is born.
That’s fair. I just know if I made something to commemorate a significant impact in my life and it became a joke for the next decade I’d be pretty upset
This isn’t loss
Prove it.
It’s a primo meme and it’s your loss for thinking it’s not funny…
No, you shit up!
Edit: OC edited, originally they said “won’t shit up”.
It’s always funny until you try to shit upstream
Loss has some of the most original and ingenious variations, that’s what I like about it. I’ve never seen other memes close to it. It’s completely different to all the text-over-established-image memes.
I’m at a loss, what could it mean?
Let me translate it for you:

I 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

Thanks, I wasn’t understanding the joke. This made it much more clear.
No problemo
i closed lemmy because of you, F you.
The piped bot ruined it.
Sync shows the thumbnail
This saved me from many things … It had this option already on Re**it for a few years.
But when i see the thumb, i instantly hear the song, so the rick roll does succeed somehow in the end‽
I would use sync, but $30 to remove ads is expensive. There is free open source apps without ads. I miss sync, when used the cursed site called Reddit.
If you reject all on the cookie banner you don’t see ads, although you see a grey box where the ads should be. I can live with that.
I would have paid up to £5 I think for an ad removed version but £20 is way too much.
I tried to close the comment thread and clicked the Rick Roll anyway fml
