What's the joke, for a non-European?

"Gracias" is not French for "thank you"

[–] rustydrd@sh.itjust.works 6 points 8 months ago (1 children)

It's Spanish. French would be "merci".

i see 8 upvotes, -1 downvotes, for a total of 9 points

[–] wahming@monyet.cc 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Ah. shrug, there's always a random downvote or 2 anywhere

no like i think someone managed to somehow do an anti-downvote. that -1 downvotes isn't a score of negative 1, it's a negative downvote that increased the score by 1 instead. when i click the downvote button the number of downvotes goes to 0, and when i unclick it it goes back to -1. words cannot describe my confusion

Haha. I've heard the issue before, though I don't remember the exact reasoning.

Or my post was just so enlightened that it transcended the limitations of karma. I like that explanation myself
