      Really confused by these “no one ever said redditors are creative” comments. No one ever said that no one ever said that.

      Don’t overthink it.

      You are not the first one asking this, so let me explain. This is an old meme and it followed an other meme:

      Dumb Patrick: me, creating a meme

      Scientific Patrick: me, commenting a meme

      And everyone in the comments celebrates the homours and quality comments. And I was like “wtf” and wrote this one.

      Edit: Reddit moment (that one was missing)

    Lol no one says redditors are always creative unless they have never been on reddit.

    Also, many of those comments are here on lemmy

    Username checks out can be very funny since it often well… leads to the username and adds another layer of joke.
    It needs to fit though of course.

    Please tell me what “based” even means so I can misuse it amongst a bunch of 12 year olds and make them fucking stop.

      Crack = freebasing cocaine = base.
      Bay Area rapper Lil B used to be insulted by people who called him “based”, essentially meaning crackhead. He reappropriated it to mean outspokenly being yourself while actively disregarding what anybody else thinks, and started also going by Based God. That’s it.

        Which was originally used on the internet as a replacement/slang for “best” but apparently I am the only one who remembers that. Everyone seems to think it started as the cringelord PCM shit, but it absolutely meant “best” for years before that.

        It definitely meant crackhead in hip-hop too, but it had a double meaning of “best” as well. Based God = best crackhead god.

        I mean, other than ignoring that now people only use it ironically after the far right spammed it out talking about heinous garbage.

      I believe it’s come from “based god”, which referred to a god that appeared on earth.

      Of course, it’s been 10 years since I heard it used in that context, and assuming it hasn’t evolved since then may be wrong…

    I will say Reddit and lemmy are the only sites where comments genuinely make me laugh sometimes

    I like those comments. Most funny posts become even funnier because of the comment section.

    You people sound really bitter tbh.

      Not only bitter, lots of people here are dissing reddit like it’s a recent ex.

      Some of those frequently repeated comments (well not stuff like “this”) are completely organic memes that have come out of that community, which most of us were part of, me personally for over a decade. Now we suddenly hate everything we were part of?

      I’m kinda tired of the reddit bashing here. I’m not going to leave over it, but it doesn’t add any value whereas some of the other content has been excellent.

      This.

      (Srsly tho, this whole post is a reddit-hates-reddit circle jerk using stale memes from reddit to make fun of stale comments from reddit. It’s beat and it stinks like letting someone who doesn’t even know you control your emotions.)

    It’d be real nice if someone created a browser addon that auto-downvoted these same comments and puns. With enough users you could wipe out anyone wanting to make the comments when they get 100 down votes just by people with the addon loading the comments section.

      Automatically hiding them would be fine, but I personally wouldn’t be comfortable with any upvote or downvote automation.

        Yeah, automatic voting gets dangerously close to automatic censorship and botting.

        Also, human language, context and nuance is complicated and the unknown error bar on “correctly flagged posts” scares me. It’s not entirely predictable what kind of posts people may make, and accordingly not entirely predictable what the plugin would and wouldn’t recognise.

        A post chain “Madness?” / “THIS” / “IS” / “SPARTA!” may make sense and be fun in the right context, but the “THIS” comment could get botted to hell.
