If you don't get it, this is a reference to the webcomic, Loss. https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/loss

I know today's 10,000 and all that, but if there are people who made it to lemmy without running across loss I'd love to understand how

It was over 15 years ago now. Younger users may have seen references and not know what it is.

I still don't get it, been on the internet since 98... Can someone you please explain it to this dumbass.

There was this popular web comic about video games and geeky shit, and it was mostly funny. Then one day they made this one comic strip about miscarriage called "Loss". It became a meme because most people found it super pretentious for a funny little webcomic to suddenly do this kinda heavy drama with no dialogue like it's some arthouse film.

I'd never seen this or heard of it till today. And today I'm not sure I understand

Weird, are you not at least partially a terminally online nerd like the rest of us? I never actually read the comic but it seems like it's impossible to have been on reddit and such for so long without ever running across it.

I thought I was. I've been cutting back on it the last couple of years, but still

I only understood this meme very recently.
