“Day 8 without tacos: I lost hearing in my right eye”
“Day [X{ without {Y}: Lost hearing in my left/right eye” is a jocular saying that has been printed on many images. Eyes don’t help hearing, of course. The joke is that without coffee or alcohol or chocolate or tacos, the speaker has lost it.
The meme started with sex. “Day 1 without sex: losing hearing in my left eye 😩😩🤣🤣” was posted on Facebook by Siah Dingle on May 7, 2018. “Day 187 without sex: losing hearing in my left eye 😩😩🤕” was posted on X/Twitter by χιιι on May 7, 2018, and this received over 11,000 likes.
“Day 12 without chocolate. I’ve lost hearing in my left eye” was posted on Facebook by Missy Jones Vinson on July 3, 2019. “DAY 7 WITHOUT COFFEE lost hearing in my left eye 🥴” was posted on Facebook by Maha Vajra on July 4, 2019. “Day 12 without Alcohol. I lost hearing in my left eye 😩” was posted on X/Twitter by Ogillo Nyaluogo ☭ on July 12, 2019. “Day 13 without soda.
