    Can anyone explain to me why Loss became so popular? I never saw it until I joined Lemmy and I’ve seen a couple dozen posts based on it.

      At this point it’s an internet inside joke, and like any niche inside joke, there’s a bit of a rush when you recognize it, that you’re in on something special. In the beginning it was mostly just mocking the absurd sudden tone shift in the original Ctrl+Alt+Del comic but like a lot of memes it seems to have evolved and now the fun is creating and finding the loss pattern in unique and different ways.

      I like it, it’s fun
