It’s like the nerds that came up with those nuclear warnings have never consumed a piece of fantasy or sci-fi media. “Oh, this ancient civilisation had immense power and locked it away in a concrete vault underground surrounded by harrowing warnings? Fuck yes I’m digging that shit up or settling my town on the ancient site of power. Blessings of the glowing soil! My son has been born with 6 fingers on each hand! Surely a wonderful portent!”

If I'm finding a dungeon in the wild, I'm delving, and I have the education to know better. The post apocalyptic grunts stand no chance.

I read a really interesting book which dealt, in part, with how to let people in the far future know about a nuclear waste dump from one of the people who helped design it (sci-fi author Gregory Benford). And one of the suggestions was not to let anyone know about it at all because if you do tell them, they'll go dig it up. But then they also have to contend with ideas like mining robots that just tunnel through the soil looking for useful materials that might accidentally tunnel into the waste dump.

There were a lot of ideas including things like a landscape of nasty-looking concrete spikes and buried radio warnings. The final design was more modest and I don't think would have deterred me, but I also don't remember the details well enough because I read it decades ago.

You all just lost The Game

[-] Chadus_Maximus@lemm.ee 0 points 3 months ago

Oh yeah? Well now your ears are ringing.

[-] Natanael@slrpnk.net 0 points 3 months ago

You are now aware of your breathing

[-] PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca 0 points 3 months ago

Now you're conscious of how your tongue is resting in your mouth

[-] Makeshift@sh.itjust.works 0 points 3 months ago

I losst The Game before reading this because of the dang image.

It's going the way of ligma. Not particularly funny and beaten to death, but it keeps getting regurgitated

[-] Notyou@sopuli.xyz 0 points 3 months ago

Just like how I found all those Chuck Norris jokes back in the day. Like yeah okay, I get it, but I'm not as entertained as others.

Behind Chuck Norris's beard is another fist. Lol.

If you say so.

[-] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 0 points 3 months ago

That's half of it. The other half sounds like the project to warn a future civilization 10k years from now about buried radioactive waste.

And text is riffing on long-term nuclear waste warning messages (or, rather, Sandia's wording for what the non-verbal warnings should try to convey)

[-] BestBouclettes@jlai.lu 0 points 3 months ago
[-] clearedtoland@lemmy.world 0 points 3 months ago

It’s always loss.

[-] Prunebutt@slrpnk.net 0 points 3 months ago

... and the text is a proposed text to warn future civilizations of our nuclear waste that's supposed to transcend cultural changes until then.

[-] Phegan@lemmy.world 0 points 3 months ago

God damn it. It's everywhere

[-] cRazi_man@lemm.ee 0 points 3 months ago
[-] Treczoks@lemmy.world 0 points 3 months ago

Still does not make any sense to me. Should it make sense at some point?

[-] uskok@lemmy.world 0 points 3 months ago

People hide this pattern called "loss" in unrelated context to confuse people. And people who recognize it feel smart, or angry, or disappointed. It's a form of mild trolling, there is not much more to it. The meme originates from a comic but this is completely irrelevant.

[-] Treczoks@lemmy.world 0 points 3 months ago

That I understand, but how did the conversion from a four-tile comic to a four-tile image with just lines for the persons in the comic came to pass? Did someone try to create an ultra-minimalist version of that comic, or what?

[-] Kangy@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 3 months ago

I'm glad I'm not the only one who doesn't get it

[-] cRazi_man@lemm.ee 0 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

When you spend a sufficient amount of time in a community, the inside jokes became more and more obtuse. A lot of jokes will be derivative of some derivative of a derivative of a joke. Logically explaining a joke will never be funny.

This happens with my wife all the time, I show her a meme and she doesn't get it. When I start explaining it, it becomes clear you need to have seen the evolution of a number of bits of media to put together into this "3rd level derivative" joke.

So in conclusion, yeah this joke might never be funny for you. The link might give you a logical explanation to understand in the future. Just accept it's an inside joke that's not for you, and that's ok.

Yes it is an ultra minimalist version of the comic. Part of the inside joke is hiding "loss" in a number of other seemingly unrelated posts which people find amusing to be "fooled" into not recognising. It is like Rick-Rolling someone...what's so funny about a Rick Asterley song? It has just become an inside joke about a bait and switch.

I think I've finally reached old, everyone.

This meme has never been funny to me.

[-] rmuk@feddit.uk 0 points 3 months ago

Damn!

I'd like to direct you to someone who can help, who can explain what's funny about it.

But maybe despite their expertise they won't provide the context you need.

And you'll still be at a loss.

[-] Maalus@lemmy.world 0 points 3 months ago

It's not a funny meme, it's making fun of something that happens to countless people around the world. Dude made a more serious comic one time and everyone went crazy and parodied something that probably was very personal to the author. You kinda don"t have empathy if you actually thought "I should meme on a comic about a miscarriage".

[-] CorvidCawder@sh.itjust.works 0 points 3 months ago

The meme is not about the miscarriage but about how tone deaf it was. So your point is actually why the meme started being a thing, mocking the comic itself. That's the context of it as far as I'm aware

[-] Maalus@lemmy.world 0 points 3 months ago

Nope. All it boils down to is "funny comic cannot be sad ever". People expected the artist to make everything the same, always. When they didn't, they memed it to oblivion because it was trendy to do at the time.

What in the name of diarrhea is this? Someone please just explain like I'm a complete idiot

[-] DaleGribble88@programming.dev 0 points 3 months ago

I am at a loss for words that I could recognize it almost immediately.

[-] SwiggitySwole@lemm.ee 0 points 3 months ago

In addition to what others have said about Loss, the text of the tweet is referring to the Long Term Nuclear Waste Warning message from the early 90s

This place is a message…and part of a system of messages…pay attention to it!

Sending this message was important to us. We considered ourselves to be powerful culture.

This place is not a place of honor…no highly esteemed deed is commemorated here…nothing valued is here.

What is here was dangerous and repulsive to us. This message is a warning about danger.

The danger is in a particular location…it increases towards a center…the center of danger is here…of a particular size and shape, and below us.

The danger is still present, in your time, as it was in ours.

The danger is to the body, and it can kill.

The form of the danger is an emanation of energy.

The danger is unleashed only if you substantially disturb this place physically. This place is best shunned and left uninhabited

[-] Railing5132@lemmy.world 0 points 3 months ago

A mash-up of the (overdone) "loss" meme and the Long Term Nuclear Waste Warning Messaging

[-] cRazi_man@lemm.ee 0 points 3 months ago

I'm at a loss for words.

[-] PhlubbaDubba@lemm.ee 0 points 3 months ago

You son of a bitch!

[-] toynbee@lemmy.world 0 points 3 months ago

I briefly thought this was mocking our language or communication or something by showing a sentence diagram, but after the comments revealed it to be loss, I found myself disappointed.

[-] altima_neo@lemmy.zip 0 points 3 months ago

Is this loss?

[-] wallmenis@lemmy.one 0 points 3 months ago

Can we please stop with the loss memes... I have seen 3 already! Come on!

[-] boonhet@lemm.ee 0 points 3 months ago

You mean like this morning or in general?

[-] wallmenis@lemmy.one 0 points 3 months ago
[-] boonhet@lemm.ee 0 points 3 months ago

Oh lucky you

[-] midget247@lemmy.world 0 points 3 months ago

Nothing valued is here.

[-] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 0 points 3 months ago

If there weren't a very occasional funny post in this community I would block it so fast due to the majority of posts which are like this. Intentionally obtuse and not entertaining, typically even when I get them.

[-] MindTraveller@lemmy.ca 0 points 3 months ago
[-] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 0 points 3 months ago

Ah yes, a stale meme from 15 years ago, I pissed myself laughing
