In spring man built a pillar
In summer another
Throughout autumn they held
In winter, one fell
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
It's funny how you can roughly ballpark the education level of a random internet user by how they interpret the word "meme".
This is metameta meme. It’s a meme about something that’s not a meme referring to another very specific meme.
It is a crooked vein of self referential metacomedy, same as everything these days. Yawn.
::: spoiler spoiler I was about to give a real link to explanation of this meme, but it would be a missed opportunity. Anyway, here you go: knowyourmeme.com/memes/loss :::

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.
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.

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'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.
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!

just in case you have half an hour to loss

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)
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?
It's a joke that was never really that funny at the time, and fucking dweebs just won't stop flogging that dead horse.
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.
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.
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
I've been on the Internet since dial up was the pinnacle of technology, and I have never seen this meme before.
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 like 9 hours TBH
I was straight up brushing my teeth and then realised "Oh shit that was Loss.jpg"
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?
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)
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?
Here's the video where I actually learned about this phenomenon!
Oh wow that video is actually really good. I was hoping there would be 100 more like it on that channel, but it looks like kind of a one off.
Yeah, I went ahead and subscribed anyways. It's the first time he's done a video like that, but it was by far his most successful video. Hopefully there are more to come
