Sorry for your loss

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

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

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

[–] [email protected] 42 points 9 months ago (1 children)

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?

[–] takeda 14 points 9 months ago

Let me translate it for you:

               I'm at a loss, what could it mean?
[–] [email protected] 31 points 9 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 37 points 9 months ago (2 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 9 months 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.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 9 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 9 months 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.

God damnit

[–] chemical_cutthroat 28 points 9 months ago (5 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 16 points 9 months 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

Guess the joke was loss(t) on him.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 9 months ago

catgirljohn seems a bit loss-t

[–] DaCookeyMonsta 20 points 9 months ago

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

The mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell.

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.

I mean I get the meme but I loss the joke.

[–] systemglitch 13 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I'm done scrolling trying to figure this out and just accept that this thread makes no sense to me.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 9 months ago

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
