People hide this pattern called “loss” in unrelated context to confuse people. And people who recognize it feel smart, or angry, or disappointed. It’s a form of mild trolling, there is not much more to it. The meme originates from a comic but this is completely irrelevant.
That I understand, but how did the conversion from a four-tile comic to a four-tile image with just lines for the persons in the comic came to pass? Did someone try to create an ultra-minimalist version of that comic, or what?
When you spend a sufficient amount of time in a community, the inside jokes became more and more obtuse. A lot of jokes will be derivative of some derivative of a derivative of a joke. Logically explaining a joke will never be funny.
This happens with my wife all the time, I show her a meme and she doesn’t get it. When I start explaining it, it becomes clear you need to have seen the evolution of a number of bits of media to put together into this “3rd level derivative” joke.
So in conclusion, yeah this joke might never be funny for you. The link might give you a logical explanation to understand in the future. Just accept it’s an inside joke that’s not for you, and that’s ok.
Yes it is an ultra minimalist version of the comic. Part of the inside joke is hiding “loss” in a number of other seemingly unrelated posts which people find amusing to be “fooled” into not recognising. It is like Rick-Rolling someone…what’s so funny about a Rick Asterley song? It has just become an inside joke about a bait and switch.
That’s the proposal to GMO our companion animals like dogs and cats so that they can serve as Geiger-counter + canary-in-the-coal-mine for future humans, right? I don’t remember ever hearing a rendition of it!
I don’t get it.
And text is riffing on long-term nuclear waste warning messages (or, rather, Sandia’s wording for what the non-verbal warnings should try to convey)
Loss meme
Still does not make any sense to me. Should it make sense at some point?

I’m glad I’m not the only one who doesn’t get it
It’s loss
It’s always loss.
… and the text is a proposed text to warn future civilizations of our nuclear waste that’s supposed to transcend cultural changes until then.

God damn it. It’s everywhere
