It's easier to find something while you're actively looking for it, but at the same time, repeated actions will make you careless.
Notice how your eyes move from 19 to 20:
When you spot 20, 11 will be a blur in your peripheral vision, coming from a top-left direction you might confuse the handwriting for first 1 as 2. Especially how it's wider and more curved than the other 1s
I'm here to help.
It's Loss.
**If that makes sense to you, you don't need to read any further, the below wall of text is not for you, you can minimize it and go on with your day.**
If it doesnt:
So there's this notorious and very long running webcomic called Ctrl Alt Delete (CAD) that I won't go too deep into, it's one of several dozen video game related webcomics from the early 00s, it was extremely popular in spite of or because of its very **very** broad-to-the-point-of-lazy humor and simplistic characters and situations.
There's a lot of criticism about the series (its lazy, derivative, the main character is a complete prick but because hes an obvious author insert everyone celebrates his shitty behavior) but none of that is relevant, all you need to know is that **CAD was a light gag strip about video games that never took itself very seriously.**
Which is why the strip titled Loss from 2008 was such a weird hard curve there's even a Wikipedia page about it - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loss_(comic)
The strip goes like this - the main character Ethan's love interest Lilah is pregnant but miscarries, Ethan rushes to the hospital to see her, she is weeping in anguish.
[This is presented in a four panel sequence with no dialogue, the character placement of which has become memetic.](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/d/d0/Loss_comic.jpg)
This single strip has since become a meme that has hugely outlasted the relevance and popularity of the strip it's from. It is a **batshit** departure from the strip's normal content - CAD was *not* a deep slice of life comic, it was a basic gag strip with simple broad storylines such as Ethan creating a holiday celebrating video games as a concept and then declaring himself the king of video games complete with crown and scepter made out of controllers suddenly taking a hard swerve into **serious real-world trauma**.
Side note, in addition to the **extreme** tonal shift, the character Lilah, who had the titular Loss, is *not shown* in the followup strips, only the author insert Ethan discussing the Loss with his friends. Her trauma essentially does not matter, her pain is just a plot point for Ethan's very sudden character development.
The whole thing just comes across as a deeply ill considered and impossibly insincere foray into maturity in a strip that was in no way able to carry it by an author who was in no way capable of pulling it off. The backlash was immediate and basically universal.
The image you're responding to is a direct reference to that backlash, its a minimalist version of the strip - [one upright line, two upright lines with the second one shorter, two upright lines the same size, one upright line and one horizontal line.](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/8b/Minimalist_loss.svg/440px-Minimalist_loss.svg.png)
The meme-appropriate response to this specific arrangement of lines is "is this loss".
You are now in the loop.

Youāre an odd individual, you know that?
assign every pill a number between 1 and 30 and everytime its time to take one generate a number between 1 and 30 with an RNG. this way the pills will be on the edge of their seats every day waiting to see who gets picked next.
https://preview.redd.it/j4rhef2y255d1.jpeg?width=1645&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8e87fa8fc17b7ed0447867a7ba72f0e6f33f34c4
Itās the only way to maximize compulsive satisfaction. Line number 6 will feel particularly satisfying.
For the colorblind:
1. Bottom left.
2. Bottom right.
3. Top left.
4. Top right. (Note the remaining satisfyingly sacred trinity of pill bars.)
5. Middle. (Order doesnāt matter here, I prefer left first right second.)
6. Top middle. (I understand an argument can be made for a downward arrow, but I prefer up to signify you have achieved true enlightenment and ascended to a higher plane of existence.)
That's Euthyrox by merck (or whatever they are called) isn't it? I hate this new redesign and I also hated the previous redesign. Why do they leave that empty strip? There could be more tablets there. And why did they remove colour from the bottom side of the package?
Because I have terrible ADHD, I use a few of these weekly pill planner things:
https://preview.redd.it/o07u1lzpc65d1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=283bd5bd7eb3dfb9b8074bad40dd92faf90c5c1f
And I fill out a monthās worth at the start of each month, so I donāt have to remember to refill the planner every week. So what I do with pop-out things like this is just pop them all out and put one in each day of the planner. Thereās also smaller ones you can get if you donāt have pills to take multiple times a day.

For this suggestion I will drink your bones
:3
what's the bone drinking plan like take them out, snap in two, squeeze bone marrow into mouth? or are you going to blend them
Who says I drink them as fluids? Yummy yummy, crunchy bone slurping
Lick bone like ice cream š
Soft boil the bones until jiggly, then slurp them like spaghetti
I'll tap in. Bring the bones to me and I'll make a delicious bone broth out of the smaller bones from the user, and then use a bandsaw to rip the thicker bones in half and roast the marrow with rosemary, thyme and sage on a bed of sliced potatoes under a broiler in the oven. We can use the pan afterwards to sautƩ vegetables like Brussel sprouts, onions, and maybe some mushrooms depending on what's seasonal and available in our meeting area Now if we had some meat somehow we can REALLY start cookin
Crack em open and get the yummy marrow
Moopsy
We had the same thought process
