I think I’ve finally reached old, everyone.
This meme has never been funny to me.
I don’t even understand it.
Damn!
I’d like to direct you to someone who can help, who can explain what’s funny about it.
But maybe despite their expertise they won’t provide the context you need.
And you’ll still be at a loss.
It’s not a funny meme, it’s making fun of something that happens to countless people around the world. Dude made a more serious comic one time and everyone went crazy and parodied something that probably was very personal to the author. You kinda don"t have empathy if you actually thought “I should meme on a comic about a miscarriage”.
The meme is not about the miscarriage but about how tone deaf it was. So your point is actually why the meme started being a thing, mocking the comic itself. That’s the context of it as far as I’m aware
God dammit.
It’s like the nerds that came up with those nuclear warnings have never consumed a piece of fantasy or sci-fi media. “Oh, this ancient civilisation had immense power and locked it away in a concrete vault underground surrounded by harrowing warnings? Fuck yes I’m digging that shit up or settling my town on the ancient site of power. Blessings of the glowing soil! My son has been born with 6 fingers on each hand! Surely a wonderful portent!”
If I’m finding a dungeon in the wild, I’m delving, and I have the education to know better. The post apocalyptic grunts stand no chance.
Children of the Atom!
I read a really interesting book which dealt, in part, with how to let people in the far future know about a nuclear waste dump from one of the people who helped design it (sci-fi author Gregory Benford). And one of the suggestions was not to let anyone know about it at all because if you do tell them, they’ll go dig it up. But then they also have to contend with ideas like mining robots that just tunnel through the soil looking for useful materials that might accidentally tunnel into the waste dump.
There were a lot of ideas including things like a landscape of nasty-looking concrete spikes and buried radio warnings. The final design was more modest and I don’t think would have deterred me, but I also don’t remember the details well enough because I read it decades ago.

The best one is genetically modified cats that change colors around nuclear waste, no one would ever want color changing cats.
Is this loss?
I’m at a loss for words.
You all just lost The Game
Oh yeah? Well now your ears are ringing.
I losst The Game before reading this because of the dang image.
Can we please stop with the loss memes… I have seen 3 already! Come on!
You mean like this morning or in general?
In general.
Oh lucky you
What in the name of diarrhea is this? Someone please just explain like I’m a complete idiot
In addition to what others have said about Loss, the text of the tweet is referring to the Long Term Nuclear Waste Warning message from the early 90s
This place is a message…and part of a system of messages…pay attention to it!
Sending this message was important to us. We considered ourselves to be powerful culture.
This place is not a place of honor…no highly esteemed deed is commemorated here…nothing valued is here.
What is here was dangerous and repulsive to us. This message is a warning about danger.
The danger is in a particular location…it increases towards a center…the center of danger is here…of a particular size and shape, and below us.
The danger is still present, in your time, as it was in ours.
The danger is to the body, and it can kill.
The form of the danger is an emanation of energy.
The danger is unleashed only if you substantially disturb this place physically. This place is best shunned and left uninhabited
I am at a loss for words that I could recognize it almost immediately.
A mash-up of the (overdone) “loss” meme and the Long Term Nuclear Waste Warning Messaging
Nothing valued is here.
Is this loss?
That’s half of it. The other half sounds like the project to warn a future civilization 10k years from now about buried radioactive waste.
That’s my guess.
You son of a bitch!
I briefly thought this was mocking our language or communication or something by showing a sentence diagram, but after the comments revealed it to be loss, I found myself disappointed.
If there weren’t a very occasional funny post in this community I would block it so fast due to the majority of posts which are like this. Intentionally obtuse and not entertaining, typically even when I get them.
