There. I've evened it out.

I dont get it, anyone that can explain this one to me? I am completely out of the loop haha
-
It's a reference to an infamous 4 panel comic strip called "loss". It's one of them ancient memes from 2008. If I remember correctly, the story of the comic is that the dude rushes in to the hospital to find his pregnant wife had just lost their baby or something. If you dumb it down enough and reduce the characters to lines, you end up with
I II

It's an ultra minimalist representation of Loss, but backward

[Insert flipped image here]
Apparently
Sopuli/Lemmy/Firefoxg-thumb on Linuxautomaticallyflips and rotates images using exif data which is stripped when postingto what it thinks is the right side up. How annoying.-
Lemmy strips EXIF data from pictures, which would undo your rotation if not done "for real". (That is done by default because EXIF data could be used to identify users)
Try saving a copy of the rotated image and upload that one? Might help, but that depends on the app you are using.

Using G-thumb, which apparently uses exif data to rotate :|

I wouldn't say that qualifies as "sage wisdom' tbh..

I am so over Loss. A gamer guy discovered emotions and we have to enshrine it endlessly
-
Might be a misinformed take, but I always saw these as making fun of the original/the artist, not enshrining it. The webcomic as a whole was so-so and fairly innocuous at the time, but Loss represented such an incredibly cruel and tone-deaf shift that it legitimately upset/bewildered a lot of people.
I couldn't say with confidence why people continue to reference it, but maybe helpful as context?
-
That's a good take, thanks for that ☺️
