I’m using this in my daily life now
My neckbeard in spez, you don’t talk to people in your “daily life”.
Love. This. Post.
I see the hive mind is hard at work.
Reddit is becoming the Facebook version of 4chan.
Well at least they have downvotes 😂
My fellow le gentlesirs, does the narwhal bacon at midnight?
lol, upvote if you understood the reference!
Even more than a decade later, that stupid meme still reminds me of one of the worst social events I ever had the mispleasure of attending. Can’t have been later than 2012.
I was making small talk, and I referenced an interesting article that had been on the Reddit front page the day before. “Oh, I was reading an article yesterday about blah bla-”. This nerdy, but until this point socially concious guy interrupts everything for that stupid meme. “gasp DO YOU KNOW WHEN THE NARWHAL BACONS?!?!” “Yes. So as I was saying-” “But. Do you know. When the narwhal BACONS?” Everyone is looking at me like I’m responsible for whatever the fuck is going on now. “Yes, I found the article on Reddit. It was-” The man cuts me off again, “WHEN DOES IT BACON?” You motherfucker I attended the goddamn Jon Stewart Rally to Restore Sanity and have the Reddit and Colbert complimentary T-Shirt only handed out on-site to prove it and now is not the time I am attempting to be a normal human being with more diverse hobbies than staring at a screen all day don’t you take this from me.
The answer was midnight, by the way.
It’s funny, I was on Reddit at the time, but I didn’t see the meme.
So the one time I was asked, I didn’t know… The guy went from super excited to crushed and embarrassed
Le upvotes to the left!
My only regret is that I can only upboat this once, good Sir.
Holy hell new response just dropped
This needs a coffee mug
Hell yeah!
I left in the big exodus and never considered going back. There’s really only one community (r/Fantasy, because so many actual authors regularly post) I am really missing, but life continues without it.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I’m open-source; check me out at GitHub.
People made those comments on a public page. I don’t see why you are censoring the user names.
Without context this means nothing.
Pretty sure we cam cherry pick dumb comments from various lemmy instances and do the same thing
ITT: Lemmy circle jerk
What is ITT?
Lemmy circle jerk.

Fully believe a lot of these are bots. I refuse to believe that humans act like this at that magnitude
Or a single person with multiple accounts trying to build karma. This reads like the same ESL or a 12 year old wrote it.
I. Love. This. Comment. NB: I am a human that is bipedal and omnivorous like many other humans on {undefined}.
These low effort and low quality comments used to be the norm when reddit was new. Eventually the community kinda wised up a bit and realized that you don’t need a “when does the narwhal bacon?” comment chain in every thread and heavily downvoted this sort of thing. Then the reverse happened and reddit become known for housing the internet’s most insufferable know-it-alls, contrarians, and pedants. I think it kinda still has that reputation a little bit, but maybe the metaphorical boomerang is swinging back around again? Either that, or like you said, bot infestation.
Genuinely not sure which option is more frightening.
Maybe they are dogs! Maybe they are robot dogs! You Don’t KNOW!
BTW it’s less scary if you think most of these comments are written by morons. A “smart” bot comment (like an informative one) is still way better than a comment written by a human idiot.
I’m gonna guess this is r/amithebuttface or R/AITAH. The actual amitheasshole sub has stricter rules.
To be fair that is probably on a coffee mug
Is there such a thing as a 13 yo AI who fucked your mother? Because this reads like a gang of them.
Just before the API drama, the instance r/Mexico started censoring insults to politicians and mostly to the president. They started trying to monetize something (I’m not sure how) and they didn’t want people screwing things up. They started censoring a lot of content and I abandoned that subreddit. The alternative was a trash place, with racism and general LGBTfobia. Then the API drama started and I just left.
