All that shit can go to hell.

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

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

Nice
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 :)
Really? I would swear I remember watching that start on Reddit...
It did.
Guy above you is wrong. It began with a hidden room in a house found during a renovation.
That doesn't sound safe
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.
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.
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.
I think the lack of karma tracking is the bigger thing.

Aww. I like bananas for scale.

Gem...
DAE?
Never heard any of these 😅
Maybe I am lucky. What is DEA?
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?"
One of these things is not like the other
Yeah, I never throw up after a handle of vodka.
DAEs nuts
"does anyone else". Usually paired with very generic stuff like DAE like to eat their food one item at a time at dinner
DAE drink a tall glass of melonade when you eat about 147 fluffy puff marshmallows?
Sounds boring 😁
Nice try agent Schrader
daaaeeeyyy
