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
  
  How though? I'm really not getting it
- I’m now committed to getting this to work, but I’m not quite there.
  
  (6^3) - 6 * 3 - 3 = 195 Beyond this, I’m quite lost on how this can be done with simple arithmetic.
  
  If you allow factorials:
  
  6^3 - 6! / (3! * 3!) = 196
  
  Edit: also 66*3 - 3!/3 = 196
  
  (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.
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.
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.
  
  That's a chess move. Are you stupid? Go back to asulme.
There are no words.
I'm at Loss of words...
those 6 sides look fucked up tho
This is a full house! You can be proud of yourself! Don't shy away!
The irony being that the plural of dice is die
