those 6 sides look fucked up tho
I don't know if this is referencing Loss or Full House...
:O
Lamenting the loss of Full House? 🤔 You must really like that show.
Loss is the new Rickroll.
Can anyone explain to me why Loss became so popular? I never saw it until I joined Lemmy and I've seen a couple dozen posts based on it.
Google en passant
And all will be revealed.
That's a chess move. Are you stupid? Go back to asulme.
I am almost certain the only reason it ever blew up was because it's a pretty strong comic, alone, but the fact it can be represented by just a few lines such that nearly any 4 images can become a reference to the comic makes it highly memeable.
It also became memeable and noteworthy because it's it's drastically off tone for the comic strip it came from. Generally a light hearted series and then BAM, have something that in context is utterly brutal.
Nowadays it's so divorced from it's context that it's essentially just a meme.
At this point it's an internet inside joke, and like any niche inside joke, there's a bit of a rush when you recognize it, that you're in on something special. In the beginning it was mostly just mocking the absurd sudden tone shift in the original Ctrl+Alt+Del comic but like a lot of memes it seems to have evolved and now the fun is creating and finding the loss pattern in unique and different ways.
I like it, it's fun
It's like a comedy cemetery type of meme
FULL BOAT, THREES! HAH!
This is a full house! You can be proud of yourself! Don't shy away!
Is that fucking loss? I stg...

I'm at Loss of words...
Was it about a haiku?

MOTHERFU
Can anybody help me understand this? I can't make it be 196 or anything. I'm at a loss.
It's "loss", a sad famous meme comic
I think it's loss?
How though? I'm really not getting it
1, 2, 2, 1 and 1 laying down. Classic loss.jpg
Motherfucker
Thought it was a 196 joke at first and now I'm just irritated.
There are no words.
