thanks now all of us are doomed

They’re lost.

just in case you have half an hour to loss

It’s a joke that was never really that funny at the time, and fucking dweebs just won’t stop flogging that dead horse.

It’s gotten kind of abstract over the years.

It’s not that it’s funny per se, just one of those things, kinda like “the game” which you’ve all now loss(t)

It’s like rick rolling or whatever, if you know you know

I went down the rabbit hole a couple months back. I spent a couple hours looking at old memes, I still don’t get it. Like it’s a not great comic but… I don’t care?

Give it another 10 or so years and we’ll be going even deeper

It is a crooked vein of self referential metacomedy, same as everything these days. Yawn.

If you reject all on the cookie banner you don’t see ads, although you see a grey box where the ads should be. I can live with that.

I would have paid up to £5 I think for an ad removed version but £20 is way too much.

During the eclipse on the night of 7 moons, a mysterious new pillar is spawned by an unknown force, once again opening a portal to the dark dimension

Evil rises

Here’s the video where I actually learned about this phenomenon!

There are many ways to prove it but my preferred one is by using complex numbers. In what follows we identify 2D points and vectors with their complex representation so that we won’t have to deal with too many notations.

Let there be three points z, z' and z'', and assume that:

• z' is obtained from z by applying a rotation of angle θ and center u;
• z'' is obtained from z' by applying a translation by v.

That means that we have:

• z' - u = (z - u) * exp(i * θ)
• z'' = z' + v

In particular, we have:

z'' = u + v + (z - u) * exp(i * θ)

It kinda looks like a rotation is there, since we have a exp(i * θ), so we’d ideally like to have the right-hand side in the above equality be in the form w + (z - w) * exp(i * θ).

Let’s see if we can achieve that, we’ll look for w such that:

w + (z - w) * exp(i * θ) = u + v + (z - u) * exp(i * θ)

Which after some simplifications becomes:

w * (1 - exp(i * θ)) = u * (1 - exp(i * θ)) + v

And assuming that θ is not a multiple of 2 * pi, we can divide both sides by 1 - exp(i * θ) and we get:

w = u + v / (1 - exp(i * θ)) (from here you can easily further simplify to get the explicit 2D coordinates of w)

So what we’ve shown is that there indeed exists a unique center w such that z'' is obtained from z by applying a rotation of angle θ around w, ie:

z'' - w = (z - w) * exp(i * θ)

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.

Dude’s here talking about how much he hates the idea of a meme, on a meme sub.

I mean, he did write about his miscarriage in a webcomic that was just goofy pop-nerd humor up to that point, which is the entire reason it became a meme.

If people are sending the dude loss comics on the anniversary, that’s a little fucked up because it’s being used as a personal attack. Which is 100% not the case with the typical loss meme.

Tl;dr I don’t think the guys needs people white knighting for him every time a loss meme is born.
