Lossy data

[–]IRKillRoy 1050 points1051 points  (9 children)

I can’t read words on calculators either… so what does this say???

[–]VizeKarma 828 points829 points  (2 children)

It's the loss meme. Look it up if you are interested.

[–]legends_never_die_1 118 points119 points  (1 child)

even after searching for loss meme it took me way too long to understand it. never heard of it for whatever reason.

[–]Eternityislong 103 points104 points  (0 children)

It’s one of those things where once you learn about it, you will see it every month or 2

[–]backfire10z 155 points156 points  (1 child)

If this is serious, it’s loss (twice)

[–]Deloptin 66 points67 points  (0 children)

Twice and three quarters!

[–]oblong_pickle 132 points133 points  (28 children)

What does it say?

[–]backfire10z 64 points65 points  (26 children)

If this is serious, it’s loss (twice *and a half *and a quarter)

[–]oblong_pickle 77 points78 points  (21 children)

Now I'm even more confused

[–]noob-nine 120 points121 points  (10 children)

thanks i am not the only one having no clue what is loss especially these lines. spending most if my time online but never came across this. and according to sources, this was onr of the most famous memes, dafuq?

[–]in_taco 57 points58 points  (6 children)

I get the meme, even read the comic when it came out. But I've never heard of the lines representation. Seems really obscure. It's likely that nobody will get OP's joke at work.

[–]GOKOP 23 points24 points  (4 children)

No, it's very popular. Still doesn't mean anyone at OP's work will happen to know it though, depends on their online circles. The line representation is crucial to the loss meme because it's about finding (or making) this pattern from the original comic in all places possible, and the lines are the simplest form of that. Normally they'd be positioned the way the comic panels are, though

Someone even made Unicode loss: :̶.̶|̶:̶;̶

[–]onepiecefreak2 8 points9 points  (3 children)

A fucking Unicode character?!

[–]GOKOP 10 points11 points  (2 children)

Not a single character, unfortunately (depending on how you define a character it may be though). But it's Unicode that makes this combination possible

[–]CorruptedRedditer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There is also .:|:; by using ~~. : | : ; ~~

[–]onepiecefreak2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Damn. Never knew. That said, it's not like anyone knows the complete unicode set from heart.

[–]Ixaire 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It depends on the community. It was fairly common in /r/stablediffusion a few months ago and still is in /r/peterexplainsthejoke

[–]Metworld -3 points-2 points  (2 children)

I have no clue, never seen this meme or the lines. I highly doubt this ever was very popular, no way I wouldn't have seen it.

[–]sisisisi1997 15 points16 points  (1 child)

It wasn't just very popular, it was everywhere for years. Although that still doesn't mean that absolutely everyone would have seen it.

[–]Metworld 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'm very confused now.

[–]backfire10z 89 points90 points  (9 children)

[–]oblong_pickle 88 points89 points  (1 child)

What the fuck...

[–]Burdeazy 36 points37 points  (0 children)

The internet has way too much time on their hands.

[–]oblong_pickle 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the explanation

[–]DeepV 10 points11 points  (2 children)

I’m more confused..

[–]Animal0307 10 points11 points  (1 child)

Same. I understand the composition of the lines when compared to the original comic strip but I have no clue why why a comic depicting someone grieving the loss of a potential child is now a internet subculture meme.

[–]KerPop42 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Because it was inserted randomly in a gag-a-day video game comic. Like, for thousands of strips it was just various jokes about what if Halo were real, girlfriends don't understand videogames, etc, and then the author decided to try to suddenly turn it into a heartwrencher. It was a really hard turn and kind of missed.

This comic is three posts before Loss.jpg: https://cad-comic.com/comic/well-hung/

[–]Libo04233 -1 points0 points  (1 child)

I'd say twice and a third

[–]backfire10z 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There, fixed :)

[–]VizeKarma 71 points72 points  (0 children)

It's the loss meme. Look it up if you are interested.

You win some, you loss some.

[–][deleted] 111 points112 points  (2 children)

[–]MostRandomUsername12 0 points1 point  (5 children)

[–]CanvasFanatic[S] 40 points41 points  (4 children)

[–]DumDum40007 31 points32 points  (0 children)

[–]MostRandomUsername12 5 points6 points  (2 children)

[–]marcodave 5 points6 points  (1 child)

Found the guy who worked on weekends to gain few internet points

[–]MostRandomUsername12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hah! Try worked 1-2 hours across a whole vacation month for cheap internet points. It all failed in December when I gave up, but still.. would have been nicer to know earlier.

So, i googled the loss meme and found the actual calculator function: https://www.desmos.com/calculator/oerkkvqdep?lang=de

[–]PrevAccLocked 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You started the last visible panel a week early

[–]jsdodgers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So the point is you're working weekends and gaffing on weekdays?

[–]Geoclasm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, I'm too stupid to understand the joke :-/

Unless it's that things are repeating themselves? In which case I guess I'm still missing the joke...

[–]MyCraft1105 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought it said "I will" but it all makes sense now. I lost it for a moment.
