first thing I noticed is that they bothered with the plural; it’s loss, but an absolute win too
I am at a loss on words

It should just say ‘door(s) open’ since it could be slightly or completely open when the message is displayed and ajar only means slightly open.

If you don’t notice your door being completely open, you shouldn’t be driving. The door is going to be ajar.

Pick up the jar.
#I played that game as well.

Dad, is that you???
(No joke, my dad had a Chrysler New Yorker that would talk to him and he’d argue this same thing with it. He’d say something else like “Mason is a jar.” ).

I’ve been on the internet for awhile, I even remember the ctrlaltdelete comic coming out. I can honestly say I don’t ever remember seeing this meme before, or even the blowback from the comic itself. Weird how I can be on the net almost daily for years and still see new (old?) memes.

I used to read Ctrl Alt delete and penny arcade all the time. Just stopped reading web comics at some point. Completely missed this meme for a decade on the Internet as well. Was very confused first time I came across it a few years ago.

Why? I dont get it?
Diddlydee@feddit.uk 1 month ago
You don’t want to. It’s an abstract reference to an uninteresting meme about miscarriage. People post things with the format of the position of the people in the meme in 4 frames, and everyone congratulates themselves and each other for getting the reference.

Based on the first 50% of your post, I would like to be your friend.
I have no opinion, positive or negative, on the second 50% - except that I support the dissemination of accurate information.

Person uses artistic outlet to convey their sadness. Internet circle jerks about it for decades.

Nice explanation. However I’d argue the bottom right panel is different because the right hand door is the back door of the car, and therefore, different to frames 2 and 3.
spooky2092@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 month ago
yet the same position of the right door in frame 4 apparently indicates a person lying down.
Check again friend, the back right door is open in panel 4, njt the same front right door.
It’s hard to tell the difference, but it is different. Took me way too long to get the joke too cuz of that

ahhh, i thought people were talking about the loss tv show and was so confused.
pyre@lemmy.world 1 month ago

This one took me a while to figure out… Embarrassing…

I think I was stunned by a car company that would bother to conditionally pluralize doors on a dot matrix LCD screen. I’m so used to the companies now, cutting every corner no matter how many times they’ve been cut before.

It’s loss. The loss meme?

Given the age demographic on lemmy, there is a non-zero chance one of us will be in a shady acres nursing home with advanced dementia ranting about loss and scrawling strange symbols with mashed potatoes.

I’m also just here to admire the engineer who made the copy plural when multiple doors open. My fancy ass modern car doesn’t do it that.

This is what happens when someone who really focuses on UX designs your interface. Little details that not everyone notices, but the few that do really appreciate it.
caseyweederman@lemmy.ca 1 month ago
One of my biggest pet peeves. Anything that I write that outputs words is gonna have a little pluralization function.
