My friend sent this and I am filled with rage
So you Lost your mind?
Loss is hard to bear.
Getting tired of the loss resurgence but this was inspired. Kudos my friend
I will never be tired of it… Maybe…
Loss resurgence?
Edit: nevermind. I got it now.
Is there an angry upvote on Lemmy yet?
The internet has proven to be very clever with its “loss” memes. I keep seeing innovative and/or fun applications of it before I ever feel they’re getting stale.
i’m at a loss for words
Loss is just this generation’s “The Game”, change my mind.
The fuck, I lost, AGAIN!
That’s twice now, today.
I was unprepared. I lost The Game too.
Unlike the game, loss has no escape
I do not care what the creator of The Game says, he lost ownership of it years ago, society decides when it’s over and it’s not, so you just lost the game…
Rack em up again boys!
OMG thank you. I’m free. I’m finally free!!
No. The evils of The Game and Loss live as long as one terminally uncreative person repeats it.
Only a Great Purge will save us.
Goddammit. This comment makes me realize how uncreative the internet is at this point and how much I’m wasting my fucking time going through the same goddamn tired jokes all the time. I truly have lost the game, as all of us have. See you all tomorrow as we repeat the same tired jokes.
What was the game?
I don’t understand this.
There’s a comic, titled “Loss”, which is infamous, because it’s incredibly fucking depressive. People don’t enjoy being reminded of it. And so, of course, it has become an internet culture / meme thing to do precisely that, but in a sneaky way.
In particular, the comic has 4 panels and an arrangement of characters in a certain, recognizable pattern. So, over time, it’s been reduced ad absurdum to just this pattern.
Well, and in the meme above, it becomes apparent that it’s replicating the Loss pattern, when that fourth panel has the DNA flipped on its side. So, the joke is that we have the pattern-seeking brain for recognizing Loss.

MFW I realize that Loss is just Rick-rolling the latest generation.
Loss is from 2008, Rick Rolling started the year before. They’re about the same age.
I think a good way to introduce people to the loss format is to show them the original vs the two-stick version, and then show the derivatives. It’s golden and still makes me laugh!

Sonofa…
Oh my god the Indiana Jones one is perfect
Loss
I really like this one, because there’s two jokes in it. One is that our pattern seeking brain allowed us to study evolution, our genome, etc. And the other is the Loss pattern meme, which I didn’t even notice at first.
Thank you!
You’re welcome!
Damn you.
fossilesque@mander.xyz did you just post two loss memes back to back?
thank
Fight me.
In response to this comment, I went to find the previous post, then came back here to say, noice.
FUCK 🤦♂️
While pattern-seeking will indeed help you to avoid predators (and connect imagery to extremely over-memed webcomics), it’s also useful for so much more!
it’s also useful for so much more!
Like seeing ghosts when you tune an old TV to static!
And seeing Jesus in a tortilla!
I don’t get it
I II II I_
I hate youbut not really
Not bad
They’re not the only one filled with rage.
We didn’t lose a chromosome. Two of our ancestors’ chromosomes fused to make human chromosome 2.
