Unless I completely misunderstand how this works, I think 5 is the only one that will fill up. It then overflows, preventing any of the taller ones from filling. 7 is shallower but won't start filling until 3 gets fuller than 5, which it never will. This would be true whether the blockage between 2 and 3 is a mistake or not.

You are correct and I agree, but look again.

At the comments.

Then at the image.

Forget all about the water, and the question.

If necessary, reread the title.

Groan.

Please help. I have nightmares of being in a room where everyone else is just waiting patiently for me to remember the thing I forgot/figure out what is happening.

Help

This ‘loss’ thing is so annoying.

Yeah I don't get it. Why does anyone care if the comic was set up that way and if other people copied it. It's not funny? It's not anything?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 days ago (1 children)

It's an in-joke.

The comic used to be big in the ~2000s nerd space, mostly by being one of the earlier video game focused webcomics that hit it big. The author had/has a.... polarizing personality and the comic itself went from dick jokes and game references to super serious miscarriage storyline at the drop of a hat.

Que endless satire.

I have never understood the meme but that clues me in a bit, thank you.

Fyi, it's "Cue endless satire."

Que is Spanish for "what" and is pronounced similar to Kay.

Queue is a bunch of extra letters standing in line after the "Q"

Cue is "it's time" - imagine an actor backstage being poked with a pool cue to get them going.

Mmm I don't understand this meme either. And I don't really understand what the fuss was about the comic either.

By far the most annoying meme and it's not even funny.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

Yeah I just got it seeing it for the second time in my feed lol

I think you’re right. Unfortunately, we’ll still have to chalk this up as a loss.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago

Like losing the game? That was also annoying and the internet stopped doing it eventually.
