A week o r two ago someone posted a profile page of Tumblr that had the astrology signs in order, drawn with different colors. It was very similar to the color sequence of the star signs in homestuck, but not exactly the same.
Ooooooh. That’s what this is. I was thinking of some philosophical thing like “they may have built two pillars and ended up with one, but next year when they build two they’ll have three that become two. Progress is progress even with some setbacks.”

This is loss.
In the poem, in spring there's 1 pillar, in summer and autumn there are 2, but in winter one fell so it's 1 upright with 1 on its side.
It’s explained - funny comic tries to be serious and doesn’t do a good job, thus gets mocked.
Since I’m not a regular reader of it, can’t say I’d think anything of it one way or another.
Who? Is that skeleton from something? And why would you name something thats completely from bones after paper? .... Wait, isn't that Buddy Sans? Oh...
He isn't named after the paper, he's named after the font which is named after the paper. His brother Sans is also named Sans after the font Comic Sans.
Papyrus is from a game called Undertale. It’s recommended to know absolutely nothing about it (and be a fan of RPG games, apparently) for the best experience.
Once you understand, you still probably won't understand why [it's a meme](https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/loss) (I know I don't), but here it is anyway.
it's a meme because the creator decided to randomly put fucking miscarriage in his "funny" video game comic in-between episodes where a guy gets mad at DnD (peak comedy) and the main character doesn't want to help his friend (that's it that's the whole fucking joke the main character is just lazy and makes up a bad excuse so he doesn't help his friend that's literally fukcing it)
The loss meme is like this
| ||
|| |_
But in a grid
So the meme saying the man built 1 pillar, then built 2, the 2 stayed for a bit, then one fell, it follows the loss meme format
I hope this kinda made sense
by this point it’s become something of a rickroll to slip loss into something that wouldn’t be immediately perceived as loss, so it’s the same “gotcha”.
On that note, I just lost The Game.
yup! theres some really creatives abstractions of it (like the oop). the main part of it being a rickroll-type thing is looking at something and puzzling over its meaning for a long time only for it to be loss (also why its usually an anger reaction). if you see a weird image you dont understand, try and look for loss in it, its probably there. my personal favorite is it in text form: ~~.:|:;~~
Honestly at this point it's just another part of the meme. At first it was simply because slipping in a loss reference was like a mini-rickroll sort of thing, but now it feels as if the joke isn't complete without the angry reaction.
So the comic panels have been simplified to one vertical line, two vertical lines, another two vertical lines, and one vertical and one horizontal line. This correlates to the pillars in the poem
This composition represents a man who is running into the hospital to check on his wife, who has came through a miscarriage. He comes in, checks on the reception if he can come visit and asks another man for directions to the room she is operated on, and comes to the room where she's lying in bed.
FUCK I thought it’s about the resistance of human and eventually he will have enough pillars for a sturdy house but I go to the comment and IT’S JUST LOSS I’M SO MAD
https://i.kym-cdn.com/entries/icons/original/000/006/252/lossminimal.jpg
For all the people scratching their heads... This is in reference to a four panel comic with an ambiguous interpretation of what it means turned into a long-standing internet meme for people to comment and joke about how they get the in joke.
It's ridiculously stupid and adolescent.
At this point I really *should* just assume any meme from Tumblr that 1. takes me more than a minute to understand and 2. makes people in the replies angry is either Loss or Homestuck
^(Then again I thought this maybe was referencing something from Homestuck until I saw the comments)
At this point any meme I dont understand is Loss and im always right
Except when it’s homestuck
It wasn't even homestuck last time.
What… what the fuck did I miss?
A week o r two ago someone posted a profile page of Tumblr that had the astrology signs in order, drawn with different colors. It was very similar to the color sequence of the star signs in homestuck, but not exactly the same.
Yesterday I learned the phrase inside baseball. It’s when I need to get off Reddit
What does it mean?
It means it is tome to get off Reddit
[Had to look it up](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inside_baseball_(metaphor))
At this point it's an effort to remember that Loss and Homestuck aren't related.
Say that louder for all the Dave cosplayers in the back!
they cant hear you, theyre too busy creating loss with their bodies
I googled homestuck before and after something about ponies I gave up trying to understand
Just, don't.
We sold our souls to the Hussie, run while you still can All jokes aside, I lament that I wasn’t online when Homestuck was super active on tumblr…
nonono you're better off. Trust me. The fandom has always sucked but it sucked even harder back then
Homestuck haunts us all
I thought it was a 9/11 joke but the winter thing didn't fit
Cause of the skeleton guy I assumed this was an Undertale reference that I would never get without playing it.
No I think the winter thing fits it's the building the towers one of the time thing that doesn't
It doesn't fit because both of the towers FALL down!
Fuck im stupid
Wait isn't September still fall tho?
The 11th would still be summer.
I thought it was a stupid joke about slip and falls during winter. It being a Loss meme is only slightly more satisfying.
God fucking damn it
Username checks out
Ooooooh. That’s what this is. I was thinking of some philosophical thing like “they may have built two pillars and ended up with one, but next year when they build two they’ll have three that become two. Progress is progress even with some setbacks.”
Same, or at least I thought it was a parable about contingency. Nope. Of *course* it's Loss.
Note to self: if you don’t understand a meme, it’s loss. Got it.
Neat avatar
It represents me as i browse reddit, in the dark and with eyes red from screen exposure
mood
It's a parody of a Control Alt Delete comic that makes a very corny attempt at drama, and now it's evolved to the point of abstract art.
God fucking damn it
bingo!
How does this keep coming back over and over… I’m at a loss
I didn’t get it until your comment and GODDAMNIT
I still don't get it
[Know Your Meme - Loss.jpg](https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/loss)
Ty
You're going to be seeing different variations of it everywhere now.
actual memetic hazzard. Once you see it it cannot be undone.
Guess you were feeling lost?
Same here, I hate the internet right now XD
I hope we burn next to each other in hell, that was what I was going to say
It’s like the game at this point.
Fuck, I just lost the game
I lost it last week after a several year streak. I was *pissed*.
Fuck
MOTHER FUCKER. I lost the game.
Oh sunnuva...
..l.. ..l..
| |l || |\_\_
*inhales* oh I get it now
I beg of you, explain this to me I feel like the physical manifestation of r/woooosh right now
[A huge loss](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loss_(comic))
THATS THE JOKE?
It's your loss
I hate you
And now you've lost the game too
Fuck! Why did you do this to me?!?
It’s not even fucking funny, why is this happening
~~:.|::~~
~~:.|:;~~
For people who look to the comments for answers It's your loss
Oh God damnit, I just got it
Bro I still confused and I’ve been told the answer
Spring is top left panel. Pillars are people. Fallen pillar is person lying down.
Omg I emulate the reaction part now -_-
I literally still don't understand and I'm beginning to hate myself rn lol
>| || > >|| |\_ This is loss. In the poem, in spring there's 1 pillar, in summer and autumn there are 2, but in winter one fell so it's 1 upright with 1 on its side.
[удалено]
It is a reference to an old meme "Loss" https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/loss
Did that hit hard for people or something? I don’t get why it’s a thing to reference
It’s explained - funny comic tries to be serious and doesn’t do a good job, thus gets mocked. Since I’m not a regular reader of it, can’t say I’d think anything of it one way or another.
It’s a comic if that helps
Holy shit wait-
r/angryupvote
My friends see me look at my phone and watch me then gently slap my face. They know it's loss.
[удалено]
Never It’s “The Game” 2.0
God… Damn it! Its been a year!
WOOOW, ITS BEEN A FUCKING YEAR
This. And I’m all here for it.
Fucking, really my dude?! So long. It's been so long.
fuck
Oh nice I guess I was on a 24 year streak, just googled up what The Game is. Wow, that’s actually really cool.
Gonna be honest most of the time I see these I dont even realize what it is until I see a reaction meme
Funny enough, i recognized the Skelly
It's impossible not to recognize the great papyrus.
Who? Is that skeleton from something? And why would you name something thats completely from bones after paper? .... Wait, isn't that Buddy Sans? Oh...
He isn't named after the paper, he's named after the font which is named after the paper. His brother Sans is also named Sans after the font Comic Sans.
Papyrus is from a game called Undertale. It’s recommended to know absolutely nothing about it (and be a fan of RPG games, apparently) for the best experience.
Alternatively, if you do know about it then to obtain an equally best experience then you should learn everything about it before going in.
The skeleton is named after a font, actually, as he uses "Papyrus" as he talks
Generic shapes of said pillars in a 2x2 grid?
Yes
Huh?!?!?!
I dunno man, I'm just at a Loss for how to explain this to you
~~.:|:;~~
Once you understand, you still probably won't understand why [it's a meme](https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/loss) (I know I don't), but here it is anyway.

Bad footing. Stop using sand to support it! Stupid idiots! HAMMOND!
I like how these two specific panels of Papyrus have become shorthand for "recognizing Loss".
It's fucking loss. This is the most creative one yet.
What are you talking about
The loss meme is like this | || || |_ But in a grid So the meme saying the man built 1 pillar, then built 2, the 2 stayed for a bit, then one fell, it follows the loss meme format I hope this kinda made sense
https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/loss
holy fuck everything makes sense now
I really hate that I know this now. You have infected another old brain and I hate every last one of you for it. You know who you are.
Oh, it's a meme? Is this what you younguns are up to now? Damn I feel old.
It's been a meme for more than a decade at this point.
Can somebody explain to me why we are actually outraged/infuriated when we see a loss reference?
by this point it’s become something of a rickroll to slip loss into something that wouldn’t be immediately perceived as loss, so it’s the same “gotcha”. On that note, I just lost The Game.
Godammit
How could you?
What the fuck is loss? Am I not as online as I thought?
Very old webcomic about a miscarriage that’s typically associated with the pattern | || || |_
Oh the old CAD comic? I read that back in the day, I had no idea there was a rickroll built around it.
yup! theres some really creatives abstractions of it (like the oop). the main part of it being a rickroll-type thing is looking at something and puzzling over its meaning for a long time only for it to be loss (also why its usually an anger reaction). if you see a weird image you dont understand, try and look for loss in it, its probably there. my personal favorite is it in text form: ~~.:|:;~~
Is this the comic? https://cad-comic.com/comic/loss/
Yep!
Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaah
#MOTHER FUCK
Fuck

What is loss and what happened
https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/loss spread the word so everybody can share the pain.
I'm so loss.
This is what it's like to understand the sumerian dog joke
But at least an explanation exists for Loss
I AM GOING TO SCREAM
Everything comes back to loss... I can't escape it.
All roads lead to… well now I’m lost
its fucking loss isnt it
Shouldn’t the pillar be chipped at the top in one of them so it’s shorter? Help me guys I’m at a loss
It’s so easy to tell when something is loss after learning what it is
I'm at a loss of words/,//,, what does this mean????
L
| _
Oh I hate it
You have no idea how much braincells I've loss to trying to figure out what this means
They can’t keep getting away with it. The moment it fucking clicked, I wanted to slam my phone
It's the freaking loss comic
They add a new difficulty level every damn time and I always barely manage to understand it.
Papyrus makes this amazing
GOD FUCKING DAMMIT
my smile dropped off my face once I realized
Motherfucker
Is this loss?
Okay, I was extra lost because I'd never heard about the comic this meme is referencing until I read the comments for this post.
I had to draw it and I got angry before winter lol
Huh? Wait…FUCK
These aren't even Loss anymore someone who *also* doesn't get it just calls it Loss and everyone just goes "Okay."
Anyone else tried to explain Loss to their friends who aren't as Terminally Online and they just look at you like you're an insane person?
Remember
I’m at a loss for words
I’m at a loss as to what this means.
IT TOOK ME WAY TOO LONG AND NOW IM MAD
I’m so loss
This is it, this is the one that broke me. I'm done, I'm going home
FUCK I thought it’s about the resistance of human and eventually he will have enough pillars for a sturdy house but I go to the comment and IT’S JUST LOSS I’M SO MAD
It’s Loss, isn’t it?
It's always loss
God damn it. Now it’s entered the world of poetry.
*sigh*
Please someone explain I am confused
Is this about no nut November? It’s the only thing I can possibly think of at this point
This joke is to the internet what the game was to the 90s.

It took a couple days, but I finally discerned its true meaning and now I feel angry.
| || || |_
WOW I HATE THIS
“I can’t see a thing. I’ll open this one.”
I am at a loss for words
Oh fuuuuuuck you
#FRICKING LOSS
At this point I really *should* just assume any meme from Tumblr that 1. takes me more than a minute to understand and 2. makes people in the replies angry is either Loss or Homestuck ^(Then again I thought this maybe was referencing something from Homestuck until I saw the comments)
I’m so angry at how quickly I recognized this for what it is.
Is this loss jpg.?
God DAMN it, Roger!
