    I've taken math beyond Calculus and proof based math and I'm still not sure what this is supposed to be other than a demonstration of 2D transformations.

    I can't help but hate this meme so much. I feel like it's just a poor dude who shared a legit sad thing and now everyone is making fun of him

      The biggest problem I think people have with loss is it is a huge tonal and emotional shift from the rest of the comic series.

      The guy is a really annoying tone deaf weirdo who only cares about games for the longest time. A lot of the punchlines ib the comics were "violence". Finally gets a GF, and treats her kinda poorly on the comic, and then bam loss comes out. It feels a bit like whiplash and is trying to be serious and sad when it never was serious or sad, but """"zany"""" and non consiquential.

        I learnt about it way later after it happened through some random website that explains memes. Maybe it made sense at the time but when you come to it without a lot of context it just hit as sad.

          In a vaccum and without context, loss is, IMO, good and sad. Wordlessly explaining the dudes panic and his shared greif with his SO quite well.

          Unfortunately for this particular comic, there is a lot context that makes it feel very weird, tone deaf, and uncomfortable.

    This is useful knowledge if you want to do anything involving geometric objects, for example you can use this information when trying to minimize a loss function.
