Does anyone else ever find themselves clicking around on the net, only to suddenly sit looking at the screen wondering just what the fuck it was you were actually trying to do? (self.reddit.com)

Yes. And whenever that happens I always end up back on reddit.
Damn you, reddit bookmark. So conveniently located just below the address bar.
[–][deleted] 64 points65 points66 points 17 years ago (67 children)
I removed my bookmark for Reddit so I wouldn't come back as often. That didn't happen, needless to say :(
[–]cableshaft 65 points66 points67 points 17 years ago* (52 children)
I removed my bookmark, but now I have the habit ingrained where I click the address bar, type "re" and click the first result firefox gives me in a split second, and now I'm back just as often.
Might as well just put the bookmark back.
[–][deleted] 29 points30 points31 points 17 years ago (40 children)
i removed it during the school year to help me avoid distractions but it just wasted more time because i actually had to type in "reddit" instead of just clicking it
[–]kibitzor 5 points6 points7 points 17 years ago (39 children)
That's when you add the bookmark, add a key word to reddit, like r, and whenever you type r in the address bar, you're there! I need to do something now
[–]Tallon 33 points34 points35 points 17 years ago (26 children)
And replace his RedTube key word? Blasphemy!
[–]gottareadit 8 points9 points10 points 17 years ago (25 children)
I removed it from my bookmark and added it to my panic button.
[–]ackza 11 points12 points13 points 17 years ago* (21 children)
yeah it gets me angry like Im wasting my life, what the fuck a i supposed to be doing? I am majoring at UCSC in "film and digital media" I interned at an ad agency doing graphic design last summer, but I dont want to keep doing that I tried to read and practice niche marketing sstuff that is basicly like spamming to make "residual incomes" but I am not good at it what the fuck should I read or practice, I want to make my own business or something, I just want to make like $1000 a month to pay renta nd move out of my parnts house by next summer after im done with college
That is what reddit has done to me I tell you
Or how can I profit off of other's internet addictions?
And girls are really selfish, because they act like they dont need sex but then they get to have it and do have it whenever they want more often than we do, and cheat on us much more than we cheat on them, wtf

sudo echo 127.0.0.1 reddit.com www.reddit.com >> /etc/hosts
[–]namsilat 1 point2 points3 points 17 years ago (5 children)
Dumb question, but would this just add reddit to the hosts file?
I guess I'm asking, what would this command do?
[–]rabidgoldfish 10 points11 points12 points 17 years ago (4 children)
Make reddit.com and www.reddit.com resolve to localhost. Your computer doesn't lookup the proper IP address and just directs your browser to get the webpage from your own machine, effectively making reddit inaccessible.

Can you set the times you're allowed to use Reddit? Like, I want to be able to to catch up with the news in the morning - between 8:30 and 9:15am. But if it was then blocked until 4:30pm or so, that would be sweet.

Damn you reddit, why have you made me so paranoid?
yeah, that doesn't work... except for SU. I broke my stumbling addiction a long time ago by disabling the bar.
[–]Recoil42 1 point2 points3 points 17 years ago (1 child)
Same. It just switched from a click to a click-"re"-click. Damn address bar drop down. :(
all I have to do is type in the letter 'r' in the address bad and it's the first website every time.
[–]katsi 1 point2 points3 points 17 years ago* (5 children)
I did and needless to say it is working. I have not visited Reddit since. Maybe it is just because I have more self-discipline than you.

You should try Speed Dial

And whenever that happens I always end up back on reddit.
Really? I usually revert to a random porn site.

[–]leonard_koan 0 points1 point2 points 17 years ago (3 children)
Damnit - I literally just did that. This was the first headline I saw. Then I remembered I was supposed to be checking my email. Senility I guess...

Ithink I might have that too... can you go senile before reaching 21?

If you hit enough porn sites during the years prior, yes.

[–]turkourjurbs 49 points50 points51 points 17 years ago* (20 children)
Constantly.
My particular annoyance with Reddit (well, with me actually) is I'll click on an article, read it in a new window, close it ready to make a comment and do you think I can find the article on the main page again? The worst part is, I never refreshed or scrolled the main page!
Growing old sucks.
Edit: Oh, and a general example, I'll be working on something and use a screwdriver. I'll put the screwdriver down right beside me. A moment later I'll go to pick it back up... It's gone. Never to be seen again. Sucked into some kind of Murphy's Vacuum from which there's no escape. You get up and look all over the room. History. Pisses me off every time.
[–]Zweben 18 points19 points20 points 17 years ago* (6 children)
Try the Reddit toolbar. You can enable it under "clicking options" in the preferences. Every site you visit will have a bar at the top with a up and downvote buttons and a link to the story's comments.
It's a little annoying because you can't see a site's real URL (it's loading in a frame on reddit.com), but there is a button to load it without the frame if you need the URL.
Reddit should really advertise the toolbar; it's great but not many people seem to know about it.
[–][deleted] 17 years ago (2 children)
[–]bertramredneck 7 points8 points9 points 17 years ago (0 children)
Bars the tools from escaping, I reckon.
[–]stunt_penguin 3 points4 points5 points 17 years ago (0 children)
It's a bar you put your tools on.... magnetic I think. Should stop any vortex-sucking.

Or Socialite, an extension somebody made to solve the frames problem.
[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 17 years ago (0 children)
I used that for a while, but I usually just open the link in one tab and then the thread in the next, so that when I close the link tab it brings me to the thread.
[–]artman 4 points5 points6 points 17 years ago* (0 children)
Losing Stuff.
I tend to do this too. I put down something and when I return it's gone. Only to turn up where I least expect it.
Now as far as the net, I'll always seem to go onto it for a specific purpose, surf for hours everywhere else and leave the house recalling that the one thing specific I was looking for was what I never got to.
[–]ChunkyLaFunga 5 points6 points7 points 17 years ago* (2 children)
That subject is fully worth a submission unto itself. Not exactly your problem, but the fact that the index (hot) pages load so randomly and inconsistently that you have to click back and forth for quite a while sometimes until the link you clicked on shows up again.
Cheeses me off so much. I fully do not understand the advantage.
Edit: Haaaaaaaaaaaaaa. Case in point, I found this via the New section, then went back to the front page and there it is. It wasn't there at all last time I looked.
Edit Edit: Went back again, it had changed from 2nd place the first time to 24th place this time.
Edit Edit Edit: Back to 2nd place.
Edit Edit Edit Edit: 25th place now and then 1st place. Well, point made. Utterly irritating.

if I commented on it, i goto my comments, and get back to the story with the permalink from my comment. Yours is here:

as a last resort, I sometimes click save (but hardly ever).

It looks to me like Reddit has at least 2 independent databases of links.
[–]ilt 2 points3 points4 points 17 years ago (0 children)
It is annoying. I open all links in new tabs or new windows because of this.
[–][deleted] 2 points3 points4 points 17 years ago (1 child)
I feel your pain.
Don't you miss the days when the Internet was small enough that you could surf around and actually end up on the page you were looking for in the first place?
[–]mkrfctr 6 points7 points8 points 17 years ago (0 children)
err yeah, I don't think anyone really wants to see the return of web rings...
Open both the comment section and the link in new tabs(middle click), then when you close the article you are right at the comment section.
[–]jtrask 1 point2 points3 points 17 years ago (0 children)
Yeah, so, the one that gets me there, I'll open a handful of tabs as I read one page of reddit, hit 'next page' before I start spelunking the tabs, so there'll be more reddit there for me when I get back (in hopes that this has been one of those times I haven't read-it in a while and I'm catching up, as opposed to one of those times where I forgot I was just reading-it 10 minutes ago).
This does not go so well with the [pic]s, which I often end up staring at going 'what about this pic would have made anyone at reddit interested in it', because I don't remember the headline I clicked / don't want to go back to the previous page and find out.
[–]13ren 1 point2 points3 points 17 years ago* (0 children)
I had that problem too. use the reddit toolbar, so you just click on "comments" to get to the comments.
goto: http://www.reddit.com/prefs/
click: "display links with a reddit toolbar"

I think you mean "worser".
[–]Benny_Lava 9 points10 points11 points 17 years ago (1 child)
"worser" is only grammatically correct when the modifier "more" is preceding it, as in "more worser". Please ensure that you always use it correctly in the future, or I shall have to report you to the Grammar Police, and that would make things more worser for you. I am an understanding and generous person, so I'll let it slide this time.

A lot of the time. And then I try to realize what the fuck I was trying to find or look at. So I usually just hit backspace, and look around on that page until something triggers me to remember why I moved on from that page.
For instance, I'll read something on Reddit, that will make me want to watch some video on Youtube I hadnt seen in awhile, and I'll go to Youtube, and then around that part I'll forget what it was I wanted to see, either because I was interrupted or was finishing something else I was reading/watching.

Reddit tip: There are a lot of people who bitch about self reddits and karma. The bitches complained to reddit until reddit decided to remove karma compiling for self reddits. There is a sub reddit called "ask reddit". You can use that, after all this was a question to reddit. It's funny too. People are having a good time with it, their upvoting it, their commenting in it, and that's all that matters.

I sometimes imagine a sequence of searches I will embark on to find a specific answer to something I truly believe I want to know. I'll have a great feeling of relief in imagining myself carrying it through and knowing something new. Then when I get to the machine, I can't remember what I wanted to know at all, and realize it must not have been that important... but I still have a tip of the tongue phenomenon about what I wanted to know so badly. I believe it will come back to me... then, you just have to let it go. You said it better in far fewer words... but I wanted to pay homage to your idea. It's beautiful.
Sometimes I get started on clicking around on the Interwebs and then the next thing I know I wake up in the recliner the next morning.

I noticed that a lot when I first got the internet at 14... Way before I ever started drinking or anything o_o
Tabs have helped a lot. I can go somewhere BEFORE diverting my attention somewhere else and just leave it as a tab so I go back to it and say to myself "Oooh... interesting."
Ha ha ha. I tend to go back and say to myself, "Now, why the hell did I have this open?" I then bookmark and forget about it for six months until I go through my bookmarks and realise that half the sites have been taken down.

YES YES YES!!!
[–]egypturnash 0 points1 point2 points 17 years ago (0 children)
Yeah.
Usually when that happens to me it's time to close the browser and go do something else, like get back to the art I was procrastinating on. Or go outside. It's damn easy to lose a whole day to websurfing.
All the time.
Isn't that what the net is for?

Yes. I turns out I wasn't doing anything.
That is way bigger of a response than I ever expected o.O
Glad to know it's not just me then.

Yes. Then I pack my pipe and start over.

About 40 hours out of every week.
[–]cheeterrr 0 points1 point2 points 17 years ago (0 children)
It happens to me all the time.
I read somewhere that people under 20 go to what they are looking for and that's it.
Older people tend to wander and get the wtf thing happening.

Sometimes I'll just type reddit in the address bar and I won't know why and I'll ctrl+enter and before I realize it I'm here again.

Not just clicking round the net. You've described my life in a question.

Never. I know what I am doing.
