Sorry for your loss
It's funny how you can roughly ballpark the education level of a random internet user by how they interpret the word "meme".
It's also because the blocks form "Loss." The infamous Ctrl Alt Del comic.
This is metameta meme. It’s a meme about something that’s not a meme referring to another very specific meme.

Why you little...
spoiler
I was about to give a real link to explanation of this meme, but it would be a missed opportunity. Anyway, here you go: knowyourmeme.com/memes/loss

Thanks, I wasn't understanding the joke. This made it much more clear.

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.
It's loss. https://amp.knowyourmeme.com/memes/loss
Oh god! How many people are commenting something about loss on this post and I had to be, almost literally, smacked on the forehead with it before I got it.
Thanks!

I guess we could say that John is at a loss
I'm at a loss, what could it mean?
Let me translate it for you:
I'm at a loss, what could it mean?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.
Sometimes a comic artist just has a moment where they take it way off the rails. Remember the time Garfield woke up all alone in the house? Haha fat kitty lasagna mondays amirite? Oh wait a sec, let's have some existential fucking terror for a moment.
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.

God damnit
I'm really trying to figure out if you guys don't get it, or are just pretending like you don't...
I didn't get it until I read this comment and thought more closely about it - so I guess put me in the stupid camp lol

Guess the joke was loss(t) on him.
catgirljohn seems a bit loss-t
~~:.|:;~~
Just post it over and over again and it becomes a meme.
The mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell.
I'm irrationally agitated about Scale and Rotation involving a translation and that this is not called out in the meme.
Like it looks like "translation" is just "nothing happens" and this is going to bother me all day please help.

I mean I get the meme but I loss the joke.
I'm done scrolling trying to figure this out and just accept that this thread makes no sense to me.
Oh it's a reference to a comic strip where the main character runs to a hospital to find his wife has miscarried.
The strip gained infamy for changing the tone of the comic so adruptly. Look up "loss comic".
The joke here is that the shapes represent the different characters in the strip, there's a lot of abstract jokes in the same vein
