In italian we say "l'operazione è riuscita perfettamente, ma il paziente è morto" -> "the surgery was a complete success, but the patient died"

Both this and what Meta said reminds me of "Clarke and Dawe - The Front Fell Off" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3m5qxZm_JqM)

I also can't believe the people who were involved with writing this response from Meta, didn't realize how obviously bad it sounds. It's like there is no humans working and writing there anymore.

We have the same saying in German: Operation erfolgreich, Patient tot.

Haha.. This reminds me of a classic Windows MessageBox meme that goes: "Operation failed successfully!"

"Operation succesful, patient dead" is a common saying in India.
