I too am at a loss as to where the meme is
- Oh it's... wait shit I'm dumb how dare you
  
  Me too don't worry....

Their loss.
- There, Loss.
  
  They're loss.

In spring man built a pillar
In summer another
Throughout autumn they held
In winter, one fell

im at a loss for words

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.
  
  Ah fuck.

Explanation
- XcQ, link stays blue
- Why you little...
- 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.
  
  I tried to close the comment thread and clicked the Rick Roll anyway fml
- Thanks, I wasn't understanding the joke. This made it much more clear.
  
  No problemo
- The piped bot ruined it.
- Here is an alternative Piped link(s):
  Explanation
  Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
  I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.
- i closed lemmy because of you, F you.

Welp. I just loss The Game.
- Fuck, now you made me have a loss as well. I am like -900 points in The Game.

  I play with my house rules: I win every time someone loses.
  
  And we will continue losing till one of us is elected Pope
- oh fuck
  Second time today, oddly
- Why is this coming back... I keep seeing this on here, are people trying the bring this back? Why?
  
  For me, the loss meme always makes me lose The Game.
  So the prevalence of Loss is directly correlated to my loss of The Game. And upon seeing Loss, I choose to follow the rules of The Game and let others suffer a loss as well!
  I do not apologize for sharing the mental connection between the two. It amuses me.

I guess we could say that John is at a loss

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.
- It's loss. https://amp.knowyourmeme.com/memes/loss
  
  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!
  
  You shouldn't send AMP links
- Same I'm at a loss for words.
- So you could say you're at a loss as to what the joke is?
- Google loss.jpg

I'm at a loss, what could it mean?
- Let me translate it for you:
  undefined
  
  I'm at a loss, what could it mean?

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
- 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.
  
  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.
  
  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.
- its not my fault the guy put a miscarriage in his trash comedy gamer comic for losers

God damnit

I'm really trying to figure out if you guys don't get it, or are just pretending like you don't...
- 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
- It about a comic called "loss" where which has the same character positions as the rectangles.
  
  Yeah, I know that, but I'm not sure how many others get it.
- I still don't "get it" but I get that it's a reference to something that I dont know (or care) what it is

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"

Guess the joke was loss(t) on him.

catgirljohn seems a bit loss-t

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.
- Translation just means all the coordinates of the points of the rectangle are moved the same increments. So the rectangle is the same length, width , and area, but the location of all of its vertices are different after translation. There's should be an x y plot to show this.
- I’m irrationally agitated about Scale and Rotation involving a translation and that this is not called out in the meme.
  
  It's not entirely inaccurate in the case of rotation, since the composition of a rotation (with angle not a multiple of 2pi) and a translation is also a rotation with a new center.
  
  R e a l l y?
  I believe you, but what do I need to read to understand why that is?
- And scale only scales one dimension… the width is unchanged.
- The rotation one still works. It's just being rotated around a very specific point to get there.
  
  I think I know what you mean, but is there any point you can rotate around to get that transformation without a translation? Where would that point need to be?

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

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

And nothing of value was lost

This is useful knowledge if you want to do anything involving geometric objects, for example you can use this information when trying to minimize a loss function.

what the duck is the post. It's not even funny or even a meme
- If you're serious it is an old meme.
  
  Big if you are serious.

John must have lost his mind.

At first I was very loss(t)

This ≥ √Loss={is}

google homography
- Not doing that from my work computer...

They sure went off on a tangent

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
- It's a primo meme and it's your loss for thinking it's not funny...
- 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?
  
  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
- No, you shit up!
  Edit: OC edited, originally they said "won't shit up".
  
  It's always funny until you try to shit upstream
- 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
- 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
- You sound like someone who's lost The Game.
- 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.
- This isn't loss
  
  Prove it.
