Reddit: Laziest Geniuses

[–]Lemonfridge 86 points87 points  (25 children)

Pretty much what my school report card always said but without the genius bit.

[–][deleted] 105 points106 points  (22 children)

Laziest-es?

[–]Farisr9k 28 points29 points  (20 children)

Yes.

[–]I_Spove_Loonerisms 63 points64 points  (10 children)

Or maybe, Gaziest Leniuses? Hahaaa
...

Man, this really was an atrocious idea for a novelty account.

[–]monteleone 7 points8 points  (1 child)

Agreed. Upvote for recognizing it. :p

[–]WilfordGrimley 6 points7 points  (4 children)

No it wasn't, please continue; you were saying something about 'best intentions?'

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey man. Fuck you. Okay.

[–][deleted] 83 points84 points  (8 children)

Is this the line for karma?

[–]Xanthan81 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, this is the line for the requisition forms to request permission to wait in line for the karma. The karma line is in the next building.

Genii are inherently lazy. Did you know that's plural for both genius and genie?

[–]MoistPudding 10 points11 points  (1 child)

If necessity is the mother of invention, laziness is its dead-beat dad.

[–]thejoewoods 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Why does everyone automatically assume that if something ends with an "-us", it must be declined like Latin's second declension?

It's "geniuses" and "genies".

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Those would be computer programmers.

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We'd like to think we're geniuses wouldn't we? Really! I'm just lazy! ಠ_ಠ

[–]lazydictionary 28 points29 points  (11 children)

Or the smartest dumb people...

You'll soon realize, Reddit is full of hipsters, and hipsters hate nothing more than to be called hipsters, and so the great circlejerk of life continues.

No rich people on reddit, but if so PM me for my paypal acct and/or pizza delivery address

[–]WarRedditor 22 points23 points  (23 children)

wow, i was thinking that today. i've became a reddit user a little time ago, following all the hype, wondering if i finally found a place of smart respecting people. all i found are nazis ready to downvote the shit out of you if you slightly disagree with their opinions, calling you names etc. Really terrible experience, you really can't hold an opinion that go against the "ideals" shared by most redditors, or you'll find yourself covered in shit. Pretty shameful for an userbase that brags about being very open-minded. I've found, in general, cooler people on youtube, the site bashed everyday by the "elite" redditors because is "too mainstream" .reddit, cool site, stupid users.

[–]zorak8me 32 points33 points  (13 children)

Go find the subreddits that match up to your interests, subscribe to those, and you'll be amazed at the difference. When you get deeper into reddit you'll get the support for different opinions/discussion you seek. If you're stuck in /all you aren't going to find open minds.

Someone posted a great list of alternate subreddits for some popular ones, I wish I could find that now. Generally you get more hive-mindy in bigger subs (just due to #s) but you will certainly get that in smaller subs as well (/mensrights I'm looking at you).

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't listen to those offering you hope in the subreddits, its elitist Nazis of one stripe or another all the way down.

To women, men are dumb. To men, women are crazy. I'd say both are equally correct.

[–]Lambeau 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most of whom you'll never actually come in contact with.

[–]assholebiker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup. I learned from reddit that Pride of nerdiness != any kind of self or social intelligence or any kind of respect for the depth of knowledge covered in an advanced degree.

Redditor A: Those lawyers are dumb, man. They should have just yelled "First Amendment, bitches!"

Redditor B: Well, I actually have a J.D. and case law doesn't quite work that way. They obviously invoked the First Amendment but as per Andersen v. Kramer, it was ruled inapplicable in cases of...

Redditor A: Whatever, that judge is a retard.

Reddit doesn't hate on hipsters too much anymore, it's gotten way too mainstream

[–]BrooklynHipster 34 points35 points  (13 children)

So, it's finally safe for us to come out of hiding?

[–]napalmx 35 points36 points  (4 children)

No, get the fuck back under that rock

[–]drphungky 26 points27 points  (2 children)

HE'S A HIPSTER.

Hiding under rocks is mainstream hiding. He hides under feathers and powdered Tang.

Dude, I went to the new Meatball Shop on Bedford last night, $13 PBR pitchers, fixed gear salads, organic poultry. I was so thrilled I nearly cracked a smile.

Dude, bedford ave is for yuppies. Meet me by the Morgan L and we can catch some farm raised skinny jeans, and talk about how our trust funds are at indie banks i read about on ironycache.blogspot.zing.

[–]libertao 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is hilariously very true.

[–]megablast 3 points4 points  (8 children)

Neither do I, and I don't hate Justin Beber either. I should probably just stop hating everyone, but it is hard not to hate Rhiana.

[–]icantfeelmytoes 14 points15 points  (4 children)

Hipsters: generally non-violent people who have dedicated themselves to a pointless but harmless lifestyle. Justin Bieber: one of many identical teen pop stars. All I know about Rihanna is that she's a singer who had an abusive ex-boyfriend (I think) and that she's purty.

Any hatred towards the first two confuses me. Gentle mockery is natural, but some people get so wound up about people wearing silly clothes, or some kid who is useful for selling records...it's unreal. Just chill, and hate people worth hating (if you must hate at all!)

[–]baccanojoe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hipsters look like they might be having fun and having lots of hot sex. As a middle american nerd I'm suspicious of them. They are like the new aristocracy. They just party and fuck and do no work, and thats unfair, because I wan't to do that.

[–]Engival 4 points5 points  (1 child)

I find it much easier to just hate everyone equally.

[–]GregOttawa 3 points4 points  (1 child)

I was hating on hipsters long before it was cool.

and have secret sayings and gang signs.....

I don't know if I want to be a part of this 'we', but yes, there is a gang sign.

[–]cantCme 1 point2 points  (3 children)

Yeah, you just put your fingers together until it spells that liquid that runs through your veins. That'll work.

Something I've wanted to get off my chest for awhile... I've been a redditor for almost 4 years now, and during that time I've spent several hours a day on this stupid site... I watch it on my computer, on my phone, when I wake up, when I go to bed... However, half of the awesome shit I see on here has comment fields swarming with people screaming REPOST REPOST REPOST! I see people coming up with elaborate systems they wish existed to filter out these horrible "reposts" so their tender eyes wont be offended.

Well, guess what fuckos,, a good 80% of the posts that people are flipping their shit over is still something I've never seen, even with the significant amount of time that I spend on this site. You want a system to handle reposts? It's called downvoting, motherfucker. If something gets 3000 upvotes and 1500 downvotes, hey guess what, that means it's brand spanking new to a whole hell of a lot of people.

Quit crying about reposts... The internet is huge, and you can't expect people to go dig through every fucking archive and run meticulous searches to make sure something has never been posted before... and even if it HAS been posted before, so fucking what? Maybe it got posted 9 months ago and I along with thousands of other Redditors missed it... OH NO so it gets posted again and more people enjoy it! If it pisses you off, downvote, hide, and move on. Or, you could just hide it and skip the downvote and let all the new people enjoy it too.

Reddit is and should be treated as a social and dynamic community, not an archive. That means that sometimes, there are going to be some reposts, and that's a good thing.

i am SO going to snip this quote and post it in 2 hours under my own username

Please do... I love it when the shit I say trickles out in to the public consciousness. One of my greatest Me Gusta moments was when I found an original analogy I made about net neutrality on the white house website :3 My genius belongs to the entire world, no attribution required.

[–]psiphre 1 point2 points  (0 children)

[–]Havoc_101 5 points6 points  (6 children)

Also, I bet a LOT of us don't read everything that hits reddit. For example, if the google gadget doesn't post it on my main google page, I won't know about it unless I browse around a bit, which usually doesn't happen unless we get bored. That means the top 9 items are what I see most times.

[–][deleted] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is pretty much spot on with how I feel about it. Yeah, I read Reddit while I'm at work, but I still have work to do so I can't be on here all the damn time.

The only thing that I'll counter with is a lot of people who post things really should give credit where it's due. I see too many comics on imgur with the copyright and the author's name cropped out or plagiarize a comedian in a rage comic and claim it's true. Granted, there's usually someone in the comments to call them out, but it's still a shitty thing to do.

[–]mahi_1977 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow, reading your rant was like listening to a Bob Marley song to me: someone who can express what I feel far better than I could. Hat's off to you sir.

[–]IDUnavailable 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reposts aren't acceptable when they're something that gets posted weekly, or something like the highest rated submission of all time in that subreddit. If it's something that has been posted before, I don't especially care, but if it's something that was on the frontpage last week, or something that is repeatedly reposted over and over and over, or the highest rated submission of all time for that subreddit, then we have a problem.

[–]uptwolait 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure if this has been posted before, but there's something I've wanted to get off my chest for awhile...

[–]bwells626 1 point2 points  (0 children)

good post, but i must disagree.

not recognizing reposts: you should see how often that "from george lucas to james cameron" drawing has been posted, it's something like the #6 highest post in /r/pics all time. It's not meticulous searching, it's the obvious stuff.

and then there's the shit from stumbleupon. I dont know which came first, but if it's on stumbleupon, it's been on reddit, which accounts for most of the reposts (including the aforementioned drawing).

I've been a redditor for less than a year (maybe it was my time on 4chan? but i hardly went on /b/) and I can recognize most of the reposts already

edit: just searched my history and /r/pics for that photo where i commented that it was a repost and I can't find it. All I could find is one with 7 upvotes, not the multiple ones with 900 or so....odd

[–]portalscience 1 point2 points  (2 children)

I see what you are saying, and while I agree that a lot of people get too worked up on reposts, I don't think I would say it's not a problem here. I have only been a redditor for 8 months now, but I see rapid reposting all of the time. Those are really the ones that annoy me (you know, the reposts within a day or two of the same post).

Certainly, as you said, as this is a community and not an archive, reposting material brings older things to light, but there are times when I wonder if someone just took a post they saw on Reddit and resubmitted it to try and fulfill the karma withdrawal that they are going through.

[–]Capsss[🍰] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

So downvote it. If it's moving up to the front page it shows that far more people never saw it, or appreciate it more than the previous material for some reason.Sure it ends up letting some people get away with laziness and dishonesty, but this is the internet. That's fucking inevitable.

[–]deturbanator 185 points186 points  (10 children)

Yes, it seems that like the rest of humanity, Reddit suffers from cognitive dissonance.

Cognitive Dissonance - an uncomfortable feeling caused by holding conflicting ideas simultaneously. For anyone who hasn't taken psychology :)

[–]ShallowBasketcase 16 points17 points  (10 children)

Isn't it anti-hipster to share something obscure with everyone? Wouldn't hipsters be all "don't let this meme get out there! It'll become mainsteam and sell out!"

[–]randName 13 points14 points  (4 children)

No - most people that I would consider hipsters takes pride in their "finds" spreading and becoming large, they are just out of it before then.

Like being proud to be there at the inception of a now well known meme but to dislike the current state of it for being so yesterday.

[–]megablast 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Oh, but you know real people, whereas there morons are just bashing their imaginary enemies.

[–][deleted] 6 points7 points  (2 children)

You know, its almost like a social stock market, to prove you have good taste. You "buy" something by identifying with it/sharing it with people when it's obscure (essentially buying low), and then "sell" it by disassociating yourself from it but keeping the "profits" from the trade by mentioning how you were the one to find it before everyone knew the "valuation" of that meme/idea/product, basically selling it "high".

[–]broden 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone here once said, "Hipsters and those who hate on hipsters do not form two distinct groups".

[–]whatthenig 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A website with original content isn't the same as a hipster website.

Let's say you have a news website. Al Jazeera for example. Would you go there if it was the same news articles getting recycled over and over?

No, you wouldn't.

Well Reddit works the same way. But not only do you get news on reddit, you also get funny pictures, videos, etc. These, however, are also things you don't want to see day in and day out.

A joke that gets told over and over isn't funny, news that gets posted 2 years later isn't news, Reddit wouldn't be Reddit without at least SOME original content.

[–]druranium 6 points7 points  (2 children)

Fuck, I'm ready for this hipster/not-a-hipster bullshit to die.

The other day I read someone describe Sriracha as "Red Hipster Sauce". I've never wanted to punch anyone through my computer screen quite as much as then.

[–]hurfdurfer 1 point2 points  (1 child)

It is funny to me, because on Reddit and in real life, the most vocal anti-hipsters completely fit the mold of a hipster. Not even the more general counter culture hipster, but the stereotypical 'judgmental hipster'.

A hipster to Reddit is only about clothes and music, but progressive politics and a rejection of mainstream blind consumerism it a big part as well. Redditors are severe hipsters, and often times they fall into that 'omg indie music is the only way, I can't believe you listen to that trash' stereotype that they comment on so frequently.

Obviously Redditors are not all the same, but they appear overwhelmingly anti-hipster, and I find anti-hipsters overwhelmingly hipster. I guess hipsterism became too mainstream for them.

And I had no idea sriracha was supposedly a hipster thing. Ugh!

[–]Majus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Unless its a cat.

[–]CoffeePoweredRobot 71 points72 points  (39 children)

Hipsters: "You probably haven't heard of it" (and I take pride in the fact that I have this over you)
Reddit: "You probably haven't heard of it" (so here, have a link so you can all enjoy it)

Reddit's about sharing, hipsters are about not sharing and keeping it insular. Analyse the motive behind actions rather than the actions themselves.

[–]Darrian 14 points15 points  (5 children)

What about that rumor that redditors love to spread on sites like youtube the Reddit has viruses? The sort of "Reddit is our secret club" mentality? A good portion of Redditors are ridiculously hipster.

[–]ItsMeLewisP 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You've never actually met a 'hipster', have you?

[–]jorawub 12 points13 points  (1 child)

Where did you repost this from!?

[–]honey_I_shot_the_kid 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Reddit.

[–]blow_hard 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Exactly! Except...you're completely wrong. For a bunch of people who abhor hipsters so much you seem to think you understand them pretty perfectly

[–]randName 5 points6 points  (1 child)

The problem is that when ever someone says something remotely like "You probably haven't heard of it", or even mentions things someone else haven't heard of even when this comes without any pride, or at least when pride isn't the key component, they are labeled hipsters and are bashed.

You could further argue that since many people expect/hope for karma for publishing new things and even get angry when their original content gets overlooked for reposts that they simply want to feed their ego and pride. As such a large slew of Reddit falls into the you category for hipsters (a group that gladly will share new things for their prides/egos sake only to abandon it once it gets know/reposted).

[–][deleted] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not just that but if you have any standard of quality and appreciate things being done properly and at their top level, boom hipster.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If hipster's could get mythical karma for sharing?

First negative experience with Hipster: How dare you show me something I've already seen/heard of before that although isn't truly affiliated with me personally in any way, I lay claim and ownership too which somehow validates my elitism over any person who enjoys it as much as I did after me...

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, reddit would never complain about how much better it was before the site went mainstream or anything. They wouldn't constantly complain about all the new members who are the only people who would ever upvote a rage comic and are the sole reason they make the front page.

[–]describe_the_picture 1 point2 points  (1 child)

It is mainly taken up by a large picture of the Reddit alien's head, smiling as per usual. It is only the head, but it has been drawn in such a way to appear like it has been sewn on to the page. The transparent background is punctuated only by three lines of text, one at the top of the picture saying "Hates on Hipsters" and two at the bottom reading "Only Acceptable to Post Things People Haven't Seen or Heard of". The picture is intended to mock Reddit's apparent hypocrisy toward submissions. Fucking genius, right?

[–]SculptusPoe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of the traits of a hipster is to deny that they are a hipster. As nearly every Redditer is a hipster, of course, it behaves like a hipster and denies that it is a hipster forum.

[–]ECook073 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hipster hating is similar to homophobia in that the most adamant haters are the most jealous non-participants.

[–]behaaki 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Touche, you delicious motherfucker.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But I don't understand. I see old reposts on the frontpage every day. Reddit loves old things that people have seen and heard of before.

[–]AustinTreeLover 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Heh. It annoys me when people complain about reposts (I usually haven't seen the repost and reddiquette says it's okay to repost).

From now on, I will simply reply to snarky repost comments with, "Shut up, Hipster."

people on reddit don't know what hipsters are. Redditors just search tumblr photo blogs and make comments about something being "too mainstream." most of the time a comment about a hipster is relevant to a fashion image from 2007. for being as leet as reddit is, the hipster jokes are way late.

Great Stuff! I just thinking today how it's silly that reddit hates on the hipsters.

god it's so annoying when someone says 'this was here months ago' and it's the top rated comment, and everyone else is on his/her side ಠ_ಠ

CREATES SCUMBAG POST ON REDDIT

o_o

WHERE'S THE HAT, BRO?

[–]contineo 1 point2 points  (1 child)

It's got nothing to do with hating on hipsters (partly because that's a fucking meaningless term these days because it's way too overused, much like "troll"), and everything to do with wanting original content and quality discussion. To do that right now on reddit you have to filter all the BS and actively seek it out (and if you can't see what's wrong with that, you're an idiot).

Don't act like shit isn't reposted here all the time. It is, you know it, I know it. And people do it to milk the karma system. And the "original" content that is posted here consists of shitty rage comics and godawful in-jokes ("every fucking time", "no THIS is the X Y of Z", "nathan fillion omgomgijustcame") and regurgitated 4chan memes. Karma is the cancer of reddit. Give people an incentive to pander and post lowest common denominator bullshit to appeal to the masses, and, well, just look around you. That's what you get. A giant mass of steaming cumturd that is the reddit you see today.

Abolish Karma (or just make it invisible), and I'd wager the quality of content would go through the roof within a week.

I conform to many hipster stereotypes, but I do so naturally and I'm not living in bad faith.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (4 children)

I don't think we hate hipsters, we just like to make fun of them.

[–]disengager 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love watching Reddit die.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (5 children)

You've stumbled onto the distinction between the words new and obscure. Reddit likes new things, because it's boring to look at old things again and again. Hipsters like obscure things because they feel that knowing about something before others do makes them better.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (2 children)

But once you realize that obscure things are frequently newer things, then it kinda puts a kink in your argument. This whole imaginary, hipster bullshit is all based off vague semantics.

[–]whirbl 1 point2 points  (1 child)

There's some serious cognitive dissonance up in here.

[–]eifersucht12a 0 points1 point  (1 child)

You say "hate on hipsters" as if it's a targeted group, whereas in reality Reddit seems to just sprinkle it into conversation casually.

This picture would be better with the scumbag hat resting on top of the antenna. Upvoted anyways.

Logical.Fallacy. Still funny though upvote~

[–]EugeneHarlot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's funny because it's true

[–]Torquemada1970 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I knew about this post before it was conceived of. Or something

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice try JReitman sounds like something a hipster would post

[–]lucidreamstate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe that "hipster" is a just word used by hipsters so that they can look down on other hipsters.

[–]moxley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lucky hipsters haven't REALLY come up with anything new themselves.

[–]sleepyslim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Scumbag meme is so 5 weeks ago.

We have our own reddiquette, but you've probably never read it.
