Can anybody help me understand this? I can't make it be 196 or anything. I'm at a loss.
I think it's loss?
Motherfucker
Thought it was a 196 joke at first and now I'm just irritated.
How though? I'm really not getting it
1, 2, 2, 1 and 1 laying down. Classic loss.jpg
If you allow factorials:
6^3 - 6! / (3! * 3!) = 196
Edit: also 66*3 - 3!/3 = 196
If it's limited to basic arithmetic (+-*/) and no parenthesis, would there be any answer possible that's not a multiple of 3? My first thought is telling me that common order of operations would make any equation using the numbers in the OP and the restrictions laid out would always amount to a multiple of 3.
Oh yep, my bad. It's always division that throws me in math expressions that have multiple steps to them.
If we allow combining digits to make larger numbers (like kittehx's edit) we can actually do
(33*6) - (6/3) = 196
How did I not try that? Now I feel dumb lol
(6!/3!)*1.633
It's "loss", a sad famous meme comic
What is it, papyrus?
MOTHERFU
Was it about a haiku?
Is that fucking loss? I stg...
Ur losst
Loss is the new Rickroll.
Can anyone explain to me why Loss became so popular? I never saw it until I joined Lemmy and I've seen a couple dozen posts based on it.
It's like a comedy cemetery type of meme
At this point it's an internet inside joke, and like any niche inside joke, there's a bit of a rush when you recognize it, that you're in on something special. In the beginning it was mostly just mocking the absurd sudden tone shift in the original Ctrl+Alt+Del comic but like a lot of memes it seems to have evolved and now the fun is creating and finding the loss pattern in unique and different ways.
I like it, it's fun
I am almost certain the only reason it ever blew up was because it's a pretty strong comic, alone, but the fact it can be represented by just a few lines such that nearly any 4 images can become a reference to the comic makes it highly memeable.
It also became memeable and noteworthy because it's it's drastically off tone for the comic strip it came from. Generally a light hearted series and then BAM, have something that in context is utterly brutal.
Nowadays it's so divorced from it's context that it's essentially just a meme.
Google en passant
And all will be revealed.
I don't know if this is referencing Loss or Full House...
:O
Lamenting the loss of Full House? 🤔 You must really like that show.
There are no words.
those 6 sides look fucked up tho
The irony being that the plural of dice is die
This is a full house! You can be proud of yourself! Don't shy away!
