I thought he wanted a swastika but figured he'd rotate it and remove the fins and we wouldn't notice.

I've never seen this, thanks for making me cackle in public
(You’re welcome)
Is this loss?
How the hell does people keep seeing loss everywhere like that?
This one is quite obvious, and the only way to interpret the post.
But yeah, people's obsession with that thing is unsettling.
It's not an obsession, it's just a game where people sneak it into their posts and then see how long it takes people to realize it. It's just a momentary amusement, and isn't taken very seriously. Definitely not an obsession, and not something to take too seriously, it's just people having some fun.
There are some clever versions of it though. The most unique was the version done using song titles, with all the images being pictures of the performers, so no graphics to help you figure it out.
I think it's nostalgia at this point, it's the first symbolism they understood or something.
With our eyes.

Is this an earnest question?
Yep. Never really picked up on the meme.
Unfortunately the phrase “is this loss” is also part of the meme.
It's a reference to an old comic called Ctrl+alt+delete
Yeah, i've looked it up on know your meme before. I used to read Ctrl alt del so I actually read that strip when it was new. But I guess it doesn't live in the back of my head like that.
Oh haha fair enough, I always run it down the list in my head when I see a meme that seemingly doesn't make sense and "is this loss?" Is one of them
They're just so two thousand late.
In this case, the loss was billions of investor dollars.
They're not lost. They showed up in Elon's personal bank account.
That’s a net positive
They bought a propaganda and censorship machine. Nothing was lost.
It always reminded me of the X11 logo
Same
I’m at a Loss.
$ man ascii | awk '/X$/ {print $7}'

HaHa
Why is always loss?
Y is always loss?
X is always loss.
😫
Whats is loss in this case? I'm at a loss (pun intended. But really though. I don't get it)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loss_%28Ctrl%2BAlt%2BDel%29
Turns out, there is actually a Wikipedia article about this, which is hilarious 😂
This dude has a death wish.
Eh to me it always looked like the Xerox X just outline.
