Yeah, memes run into the ground are the best memes. They wrap back around to being funny again.
that's why i fucking love loss, it keeps popping up in more and more ridiculous and subtle ways, it's beautiful
Similarly, Rick Rolling is eternal. It’s kind of got a negative feedback loop. If it gets overused, people stop using it for a while, which just makes people more susceptible to it when it pops up again.
In that same vein - i just lost the game :-(
I like Loss specifically because the elders have found out how to use it but they don't know what it means. It's just a glyph that deals psychic damage to anyone under 40 and they don't know why. But instead of misusing it like most other memes they don't understand, you really can't misuse Loss. You just stick it somewhere random and watch people scream.
You're referencing one specific tweet of a guy talking about his dad, and the fact that I know that makes me want to scream.
I find it that loss makes me feel the same way a sneaky pun does, once I realise it's there I groan, but secretly, I love it
