Generic ask Reddit threads

All that shit can go to hell.

This

I mean, how does replying 'this' help drive any conversation?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago (2 children)
[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

to be clear, by this I mean the annoying comment reply chains repeating the same shit sentence.

It boosts the comment because of the algorithm. I don't know if people do it knowingly when commenting "this" or "underrated comment" but it does have an effect.

Banana for scale pre-existed reddit, and is unlikely to die soon lol

But yeah, fuck the rest of that list, I'm with you :)

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Really? I would swear I remember watching that start on Reddit...

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It did.

Guy above you is wrong. It began with a hidden room in a house found during a renovation.

[–] boeman 5 points 1 year ago

That doesn't sound safe

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

I ran into offline back in the early 2ks, then in chat rooms.

But it didn't go viral until reddit, that's for sure.

The “well it looks like we were able to recover $100,000 from the crime scene” >> “Sure glad we were able to recover $80,000” >> “Looks like we found $20,000”, etc…. on seemingly every thread involving money was pretty insufferable.

I feel like the lack of karma system will 100% help in this aspect. No reason to comment/post dumb things since you don't really get anything with your post/comment is at the top.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

Sadly, I think you have significantly overestimated those who do that, as having a "reason" in mind beyond simply having a desire to just blurt it out, which is immediately followed by blurting it out.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

The only reason I tried to get karma on the old site was cause I wanted to post a meme on r/memes but they had a bot that would remove your post if your account karma was too low. I never got enough karma to post a meme. I think it was added to stop bots from posting memes, but it was so annoying and I really hope that doesn’t appear here.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I think the lack of karma tracking is the bigger thing.

Never heard any of these 😅

Maybe I am lucky. What is DEA?

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 year ago (1 children)

DAE is "does anyone else."

Examples:

"DAE get sleepy when it rains?"

"DAE throw up after drinking a handle of vodka?"

"DAE get a little turned on when TSA asks you to follow them into a private room?"

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (2 children)

One of these things is not like the other

[–] boeman 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, I never throw up after a handle of vodka.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

That's weird, I have, but I thought everyone got super excited when it rains. Maybe that's just me then.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

... But I like it.

"does anyone else". Usually paired with very generic stuff like DAE like to eat their food one item at a time at dinner

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Sounds boring 😁

[–] fubo 1 points 1 year ago

DAE drink a tall glass of melonade when you eat about 147 fluffy puff marshmallows?
