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.

What about running Doom on Bad Apple or a pregnancy test on Christmas lights?

Gender reveal lights?

It is, people do this to mock the artist for something he does iirc.

100% agreed. It was funny back when CAD was relevant the meme made sense.

Now there’s so many people riffing on it without understanding why it was a joke in the first place.

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