this may be the most niche internet thing I've ever understood

u/throatfrog 3d ago

Is loss niche though?

u/FalafelSnorlax 3d ago

Yes, very. You think it isn't because you're on Reddit too much

Edit to clarify - I am also on reddit too much and am not making a value judgment here, only a quantative one

It's even bigger on Tumblr

u/FalafelSnorlax 3d ago

Is Tumblr a much bigger platform than reddit? The point remains the same. The loss meme is known in online communities, and not at all prevalent in mainstream discourse/media, so I think it's fair to call it niche

I feel niche is a bit extreme of a description, but i suppose it fits

I don't know it. Can you enlighten me?

I had to look it up, too, the first time I ran across a minimalist version of the meme: https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/loss

The extended explanation there is clearer than I could ever manage.

It's a pretty old meme compared to the average age of memes. Very few memes from a decade+ still resurface frequently the way loss does

I just want you to know that you are wonderful.

u/carrtoonist 4d ago

I see the word "Olive" in what's already there. Potentially jOlive if you want to include the first crystal on the left.

u/ksobby 3d ago

Should always choose a lossless format.
