spoilerI 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

Sorry for your loss

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.

So you could say you're at a loss as to what the joke is?

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

[–] drcobaltjedi@programming.dev 25 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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.

[–] Uniquitous@lemmy.one 12 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] Mouette@jlai.lu 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] drcobaltjedi@programming.dev 12 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] ShaunaTheDead@kbin.social 22 points 1 year ago

I'm at a loss, what could it mean?

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.

[–] Actaeon@artemis.camp 3 points 1 year ago

And scale only scales one dimension… the width is unchanged.
