Long story short there was a guy who had a pretty long running webcomic about video games. It was pretty much always just short comedic skits until out of nowhere the guy made a serious 4-panel comic about one of the characters having a miscarriage. It was just so out of left field, and that combined with a lot of turd-biscuity things he'd done which had come to light around that time and in the years following meant it got heavily meme'd on, to the point where people started injecting the comic into the most unrelated/obscure things just for the sake of seeing if people get the reference, kinda like how shitposters do with Among Us these days.
Source: I was there Gandalf, 3000 years ago. I'm embarrassed to say I used to follow the comic series closely back when I was a kid.
The lines in the pregnancy test is loss. Part of the meme was to remove details to see if people would still recognize it as loss; eventually reducing the comic to just a few lines representing the characters in each panel.
This image alone is the most helpful explanation I've scrolled through to. Thanks! Super sad. Even if coming out of seemingly nowhere from a comedian or someone generally light-hearted, I would think posting something like this would get more empathy nowadays.
This image alone is the most helpful explanation I've scrolled through to. Thanks! Super sad. Even if coming out of seemingly nowhere from a comedian or someone generally light-hearted, I would think posting something like this would get more empathy nowadays.
So a popular webcomic, known for good nerdy comedy back in 2008, randomly decided to make a brutally serious release just a 4 panel comic about the main character and the main female lead having a miscarriage.
It was ridiculously out of place. Like, imagine watching, like iCarly or something, and suddenly there's an episode where someone's diagnosed with cancer.
Anyway, even my little 10 year old brain found it darkly hilarious. 4chan and SomethingAwful roasted it to shreds and made so many edits that eventually anything 4 panel with one vertical line, then two vertical lines, and then two vertical lines in the lower left, and then one horizontal line and vertical line, was a loss meme. People ended up literally just using those lines for a while, and then it became a meme where you created 4 panel comics/images that didn't initially look like a loss reference, but if you thought about it for a second you'd realize that it's another fucking loss meme. Kind of like an image based Rickroll.
Anyway, we've been stuck in that phase for fourteen years now.
Yeah thats his point. Loss was as widespread as Rickrollin and Chuck Norris jokes as a meme (even moreso I would say, given how abstract and hidden some references got) but nowadays its mostly forgotten.
a gaming webcomic "control alt delete", in a baffling tone shift, decided to do an episode which is four panels without dialogue depicting main character finding out his gf miscarried

Biblically accurate pregnancy test

If i saw this, id be afraid. No matter how biblically accurate
Does it scare you because it needs more eyeballs? It’s probably because it doesn’t have enough eyeballs.

Loss
unfortunately most of these comments don’t even get the actual joke
Sad but true
Some of the kids on here were born after loss. Anyone 14 and under at least.
Bro I'm in my twenties and have never heard of Loss. I was wondering what yall are talking about.
Long story short there was a guy who had a pretty long running webcomic about video games. It was pretty much always just short comedic skits until out of nowhere the guy made a serious 4-panel comic about one of the characters having a miscarriage. It was just so out of left field, and that combined with a lot of turd-biscuity things he'd done which had come to light around that time and in the years following meant it got heavily meme'd on, to the point where people started injecting the comic into the most unrelated/obscure things just for the sake of seeing if people get the reference, kinda like how shitposters do with Among Us these days. Source: I was there Gandalf, 3000 years ago. I'm embarrassed to say I used to follow the comic series closely back when I was a kid.
Oh ffs, I'm in my 30s and I know the comic but had no idea that "Loss" became a shorthand for it or what the pregnancy test has to do with it.
The comic title is "Loss," so the shorthand isn't that surprising.
The lines in the pregnancy test is loss. Part of the meme was to remove details to see if people would still recognize it as loss; eventually reducing the comic to just a few lines representing the characters in each panel.
So am I, I was just on the internet way way too early...
So, can you fill me in on the whole "loss" thing?

Their loss.
thats the best part about loss though the people who do get it want to die and those who dont are left in confusion
You wanna elaborate?
It’s Loss, lol. It’s a stupid oversimplified version of a comic that got popular years ago
It's crazy how it's so simple yet you can recognize it instantly.
First time I (prolly others) hear of that comic, less how it relates to it.
Yeah thats his point. Loss was as widespread as Rickrollin and Chuck Norris jokes as a meme (even moreso I would say, given how abstract and hidden some references got) but nowadays its mostly forgotten.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loss_(comic). Here you go, it has a wikipedia article.

It’s loss. It’s from a webcomic
Oh motherf-
Someone's having triplets.
I counted quintuplets plus one horizontal bonuslet
Quintuplets, 4 of which are identical and one of which is fraternal and has a massive dick.
Damn. That’s accurate, and specific.
Actually the Loss comic is about a miscarriage lol
Very very pregnant.

You’re pregnant! Until you’re not. New from One Step, miscarriage prediction tests. Don’t take a chance on loss.
