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.

And you don’t see the beauty in that?

At least with Doom there’s engineering fun to be had. Modern loss just sucks.
