Post memes here.
A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

And here I thought DVI offered lossless signal transmission
Well done now get out
Also in the larger pin array
whoa nice!
For all who do not understand it: https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/loss
I have even more questions now
I there's a loss in signal during game play, you lose the game
Fuck
I love loss memes, keep em coming
I hate you.
Oh that's why that plug often lost connection
they even did it twice to drive the point home....jeez
Took a bit for the first, missed the other one. Damn.
It's loss isn't it....
I appreciate the quality of this image. The joke would've been conoletely loss if it had been a shitty jpeg
Just wait for a couple of more reposts
DVI-L? More like DVI-Loss
Yeah I got it when I realized there's no such thing as DVI-L haha
Ah ty for the clue
What am I supposed to.... You sneaky bastard.
I need to cut down on my internet consumption.
This cant be
This is AI generated for sure
Nanoraptor's photoshop
Yep. The warbled surface defects are a dead giveaway
I still don't get it
The pins are Loss
I still don't get it...
I didn't get it either, so I tried googling "Loss".
I think it's to do with this thing. Specifically the alignment of the little pins in the DVI port seem to be the same as for the "minimalist version of Loss" thing mentioned there on the wiki.
I have a hazy recollection of that comic from way back yonder, and it causing some sort of a hassle. Apparently the minimalist version is some meme, now? Or always has been?
Thank you for this context. I was truly at a loss.
Wow, I'm impressed you've been able to avoid Loss for so long.
I never really followed ctrl+alt+del, which is prolly part of the reason. Only heard about the drama that specific comic strip caused second hand.
I've also never seen it before now ...
Me neither. I'm not sure how that makes me feel.
Yep, this. In a couple places on the image at least. Thank you for connecting the lines and dots.
To answer your question, the loss meme started almost immediately after the original comic was released. It ebbs and flows in popularity, but seems to be something the internet can't let go of. Lemmy has a particular fetish for it.
I imagine that it is a particular crowd that is present on lemmy that holds on to this one, as I have not seen a Loss meme since 2011. Probably older americans working in tech is my best guess; especially those who consumed web comics from back in the day.
Fair. I certainly had to resurrect WTH loss meant when I joined Lemmy. I was more thinking the Venn diagram of people still clinging to Loss, and people on Lemmy is probably not a perfect circle. But who knows.
It's about Loss mate. ( I have no idea either. )
deep inhale ... slow exhale Give me strength.
DVI-L chef's kiss
I don’t see it…
Zoom in on the left hand end of the connector.
DVI-L? I feel stupid that I’m missing something obvious!
I was never going to get that. Thanks!
