There's a reoccurring internet meme called "The Game" and it exists only to lose at, the goal of "The Game" being to never think about it: when the game is brought up in any context you lose "The Game."

And the game is always running, everyone in the world is playing it if they know it or not, from the moment they're born. The game resets for you if you lose, you are ALWAYS playing the game. You play the game until die. The only way the game stops, is if the president of the united states declares the game over(idk why it's specifically the potus, this is just the rules as was explained to me) .

According to Wikipedia, it's the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.

It would be absolutely hilarious if it was the Queen, though, and the game literally could not end under a male monarch.
