It’s not a jar it’s a door silly
Given the age demographic on lemmy, there is a non-zero chance one of us will be in a shady acres nursing home with advanced dementia ranting about loss and scrawling strange symbols with mashed potatoes.
aight this is officially the most far fetched loss meme I’ve ever seen
look again
Thanks, I wish you ill.
<3
I’m angry and confused
ur whalecum <3
yes and I’m looking for a whale egg
Wait till you see the planet alignment in 2037.
ok remind me in 12 years
I’m also just here to admire the engineer who made the copy plural when multiple doors open. My fancy ass modern car doesn’t do it that.
This is what happens when someone who really focuses on UX designs your interface. Little details that not everyone notices, but the few that do really appreciate it.
Yeah, it took me a long time to get this, because I was too impressed by the design lol
Correct pluralization and it shows which door is open!
When is a door not a door?
When it is a jar
When its ever so slightly open.
first thing I noticed is that they bothered with the plural; it’s loss, but an absolute win too
I’ve been on the internet for awhile, I even remember the ctrlaltdelete comic coming out. I can honestly say I don’t ever remember seeing this meme before, or even the blowback from the comic itself. Weird how I can be on the net almost daily for years and still see new (old?) memes.
I used to read Ctrl Alt delete and penny arcade all the time. Just stopped reading web comics at some point. Completely missed this meme for a decade on the Internet as well. Was very confused first time I came across it a few years ago.

Listen here you lil shit
Door’s Agar.
No, it’s not a jar; it’s a door, open or closed.
Pick up the jar.
#I played that game as well.
It should just say ‘door(s) open’ since it could be slightly or completely open when the message is displayed and ajar only means slightly open.
If you don’t notice your door being completely open, you shouldn’t be driving. The door is going to be ajar.
a door is not a jar, kind sir!
Dad, is that you???
(No joke, my dad had a Chrysler New Yorker that would talk to him and he’d argue this same thing with it. He’d say something else like “Mason is a jar.” ).
Why? I dont get it?
You don’t want to. It’s an abstract reference to an uninteresting meme about miscarriage called ‘Loss’.
People post things with the format of the position of the people in the meme in 4 frames ( I, II, II, I _), and everyone congratulates themselves and each other for getting the reference.
This one, however, doesn’t work in my opinion. The door positions in frames 1, 2, and 3 are meant to indicate people standing, yet the same position of the right door in frame 4 apparently indicates a person lying down.
This, as it happens, is therefore not Loss.
ahhh, i thought people were talking about the loss tv show and was so confused.
Based on the first 50% of your post, I would like to be your friend.
I have no opinion, positive or negative, on the second 50% - except that I support the dissemination of accurate information.
Person uses artistic outlet to convey their sadness. Internet circle jerks about it for decades.
Person who used artistic outlet was apparently an asshole and got mocked for seeking sympathy.
Nice explanation. However I’d argue the bottom right panel is different because the right hand door is the back door of the car, and therefore, different to frames 2 and 3. Though it is kinda stretching it …
/ /\\ /\\ / \\how is that the same position? it’s the backseat door. the others aren’t.
also not uninteresting. it’s famously interesting, otherwise people would’ve moved on.
That meme is fucking dumb.
It’s the worst. Dude used his artistic outlet to convey an emotion and was shit on by a bunch of assholes. Then that became so popular that the meta and ‘game’ lived on. God forbid someone try to express themselves. People try to say “it was just so out of place” fuck that, dude didn’t owe anyone shit.
I dont remember being clever was a requirement for memes.
Right, so, this meme is fucking dumb still. Good talk.
i think you mean fucking brilliant
Fuck
this is how you rickroll the youth
Is this loss?
No this is Patrick.
Is this the Krusty Krab?
Sir, this is a Wendy’s.
This one took me a while to figure out… Embarrassing…
I think I was stunned by a car company that would bother to conditionally pluralize doors on a dot matrix LCD screen. I’m so used to the companies now, cutting every corner no matter how many times they’ve been cut before.
Figure out what?
It’s loss. The loss meme?
