At this point it feels like the loss meme is completely divorced from its original meaning and more a „where can I fit it in“ like running Doom on a pregnancy test or Bad Apple on Christmas lights.
Yes! The tree lights up green if you’re pregnant and red if you’re not. It can flash between them while you’re waiting, and sometimes it will randomly hold just a tiny bit longer to keep suspense high.
I wouldn’t be surprised if there was a whole generation for whom loss is the “hide some lines in your posts” meme and who have never even seen the original comic let alone know who Tim Buckley is.

What about running Doom on Bad Apple or a pregnancy test on Christmas lights?
Yes! The tree lights up green if you’re pregnant and red if you’re not. It can flash between them while you’re waiting, and sometimes it will randomly hold just a tiny bit longer to keep suspense high.
Gender reveal lights?
It is, people do this to mock the artist for something he does iirc.

And you don’t see the beauty in that?
100% agreed. It was funny back when CAD was relevant the meme made sense.
Now there’s so many people riffing on it without understanding why it was a joke in the first place.
At least with Doom there’s engineering fun to be had. Modern loss just sucks.
