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.
Yeah, it took me a long time to get this, because I was too impressed by the design lol
Correct pluralization and it shows which door is open!
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.
One of my biggest pet peeves. Anything that I write that outputs words is gonna have a little pluralization function.
Listen here you lil shit
first thing I noticed is that they bothered with the plural; it's loss, but an absolute win too
It's not a jar it's a door silly
That is the dumbest thing I've ever seen. I love it. Thank you, and have an upvote.
aight this is officially the most far fetched loss meme I've ever seen
look again
Thanks, I wish you ill.
<3
I'm angry and confused
ur whalecum <3
yes and I'm looking for a whale egg
Wait till you see the planet alignment in 2037.
ok remind me in 12 years
No, it's not a jar; it's a door, open or closed.
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.
a door is not a jar, kind sir!
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.
Oh fuck you got me
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.
Figure out what?
It's loss. The loss meme?

Hence the post title... "I am at a loss of words"
Tbf it was lost on me, too. Love the design & thoughtfulness.
Why? I dont get it?
You don't want to. It's an abstract reference to an uninteresting meme about miscarriage called 'Loss'.
People post things with the format of the position of the people in the meme in 4 frames ( I, II, II, I _), and everyone congratulates themselves and each other for getting the reference.
This one, however, doesn't work in my opinion. The door positions in frames 1, 2, and 3 are meant to indicate people standing, yet the same position of the right door in frame 4 apparently indicates a person lying down.
This, as it happens, is therefore not Loss.
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
It's a different door but it's the same position. This doesn't work. If \ indicates a person standing it can't indicate a person lying down, whichever door it is.
It's not the same position tho. If you look at the two images side by side, you can see the right door is noticeably lower than the left door in the final panel, but even in the previous panel:
Position meaning 'the way in which something is placed or arranged'. I'm aware it's a different door, but the position / tilt / angle / pose / arrangement of the door is the same, being \ .Taking \ to indicate standing, it can't indicate lying down.
Ok, so your complaint is the door orientation, not the position. I disagree with the idea that it doesn't necessarily work, given how many other instances of the meme get a bit out there and are intentionally setup to be recognizable yet inscrutable. But I can see why it wouldn't work for people.
Person uses artistic outlet to convey their sadness. Internet circle jerks about it for decades.
That meme is fucking dumb.
It's the worst. Dude used his artistic outlet to convey an emotion and was shit on by a bunch of assholes. Then that became so popular that the meta and 'game' lived on. God forbid someone try to express themselves. People try to say "it was just so out of place" fuck that, dude didn't owe anyone shit.
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.
When is a door not a door?
When it is a jar
