hmm, not sure if that's how that works
You can't win the game You can just lose the least
The game?
Is this some early 2000s meme I'm too young to understand or am I not seeing something?
don't worry about it, some dead memes should stay dead
Apparently something like one in five people are aware of the game in some survey. Referenced in a podcast I can't remember well.
I lost the game.
Great. Now I feel old.
Isn't it past your bed time young man? ... What do you mean I'm old now?
Fuuuuuuuuu
NOOOO!
Fuck you, well played...
Hint, if you can’t see text your brightness is too low
This meme has got so much crust that I needed a chisel to chip it off.
I feel like I won the game, as I knew what the game was, forgot it, saw this meme, still didn't remember, googled it and than was like: oh yeah I think I heard about this
Cool story bro. Sadly, there are no win conditions.
There's one for sure.
Not playing :)
Rule 1. Everyone in the world is playing the game.
You could argue that it doesn't apply to you since you are deciding not to play the game as a free agent. However then you can also not win anymore because you are not playing the game.
Q.E.D
No, not playing means not wasting time and energy on it. That is a full win.
Anyone trying to pretend that participation in a thought experiment isn't voluntary would be wise to choose very carefully who they pull that with irl.
Q.E.V
What game? They're not playing a game in the image?
oh you poor soul
I think you mean lucky bastard. It was never funny.
It will follow me to my grave
Remember one must announce they have lost. I'll be lenient your downvotes will be considered announcements.
I've lost the game.
God damn it
#1 proud game loser
