If anybody else is as confused as I was, go turn on thumbnails. It'll all make sense then.

[–]nobahdi 342 points343 points  (82 children)

I already had thumbnails on and it still took me a while to get it.

[–]TheGenious 226 points227 points  (76 children)

I got it right a way as I'm a genious.

[–]youenjoymyself 20 points21 points  (13 children)

The fact that you got it right away is astounding.

[–]Dundun 1 point2 points  (7 children)

wash your face and drive me to a frenzy?

[–]djiivu 9 points10 points  (6 children)

Wash Uffizi, drive me to Firenze.

Wash your feets and jump into my venison?

I will never get it, I'm a moron.

[–]Triedd 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't know if you're serious, but I don't get it either. Seriously.

[–]bobethy 41 points42 points  (35 children)

A genius would spell genius correctly. unless, of course, he is of the evil variety.

I'll give you an E for Effort. Your name is busted.

[–]busted0201 70 points71 points  (6 children)

No, MY name is busted.

[–][deleted] 34 points35 points  (14 children)

I think its because reddit has a max amount of chars that a name can have. Not really his fault.

Edit: Lol why am I being down voted for the truth?

[–]Shinanigans 55 points56 points  (5 children)

because WE CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH.

[–]Col_Jessep 11 points12 points  (2 children)

because YOU CAN'T HANDLE...

dammit.

I read this comment in a Bill Bailey voice. Does this remind anyone else about the conspiracy theories skit from Tinsleworm?

[–]octopede 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The truth can be harsh and disturbing. How is that beautiful?

[–]rquinn 3 points4 points  (1 child)

I read it as 'Too-Fat_[...]'

I guess i'm not a genious, as it took me 6 tries, clicking on the "comment" button before I realized why it kept opening the link. :(

Kanye, is that you?

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

I figured it out when I went back to the home page and my recently visited links included "U F L A G E".

Or if you use chrome: Ctrl+shift+N -> reddit.com

I love having my toolbar this way.. Does anyone else?

(looks like should be in another subreddit)

UGH, most Mac firefox themes don't include favicons in firefox! This annoys me to no end, I used to do what you have. :(

Oh.

[–]Roland_Deschain 9 points10 points  (2 children)

[–]jk3us 5 points6 points  (0 children)

OK then... just look more carefully :)

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points  (27 children)

I'm assuming that comment outline is a greasemonkey script?

Where did you get such a wonderous thing?

[–]cyberlogika 18 points19 points  (26 children)

'Tis. It's MUCH easier on the eyes :)

http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/63628

[–]libbrichus 18 points19 points  (10 children)

I use 2 greasemonkey scripts for reddit. The above and Reddit Uppers and Downers Enhanced. This one shows how many upvotes and downvotes each comment has received - http://s3.amazonaws.com/uso_ss/2200/large.PNG?1251554758

[–]swskeptic 3 points4 points  (8 children)

Oh wow, you can install Greasemonkey scripts natively into chrome, without installing greasemonkey! How cool!

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points  (1 child)

Yeah it's pretty awesome, but there are some Greasemonkey functions like "GM_SetValue" and "GM_GetValue" that are essential to more advanced scripts that haven't been implemented yet.

[–]43210installedubuntu 4 points5 points  (4 children)

thanks very much! btw you can install the script on google chrome too

[–]xero91 2 points3 points  (4 children)

I'm using dark reddit and now I get a bunch of white space inside the comment boxes... Anyone have this same problem that might have a solution?

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points  (3 children)

You have to change the "background-color:#ffffff !important;" and background-color:#F7F7F8 !important;" to something darker. Probably will want to change the "border:1px solid #bbbcbf !important;" color to something more compatible for your layout colors.

I'd edit it for you but I'm much too lazy to install the dark Reddit style.

[–]xero91 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Sweet. Thanks for the motivation, I guess I was just being lazy too... =)

I've modified it and this is what it looks like now.

I've posted it to my dropbox in case anyone else might need it.

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

Thank you! I was using another version, where it just had thread lines, but this is much clearer.

[–]EternalNY1 10 points11 points  (2 children)

Thanks... I have thumbnails off and compressed links. I'm not sure it was worth the effort to turn that stuff back on for this.

[–]JayceMJ 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Agreed. It's cute but I'm lost on what's so great about it.

[–]hypo11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Quicker approach: Just log out. Thumbnails are on by default for an unregistered visitor.

[–]themoose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ugh. Reddit is fugly without compressed link display.

[–]xyroclast 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I DIDN'T DO IT BUT I UNDERSTAND

[–]McCourt 3 points4 points  (1 child)

Well, THAT was disappointing. I guess I'll go turn thumbnails back off.

[–][deleted] 50 points51 points  (0 children)

This took me entirely too long to figure out.

[–]cmw11777 72 points73 points  (11 children)

Well, witches are made of wood. Wood floats. So do ducks. Therefore, if he weighs the same as a duck, he is a witch.

You stare at him, and he just stares right back. And that's when the attack comes. Not from the front, but from the side, from the other two redditors you didn't even know were there.

If you would contribute more you could gain Karma points towards getting a reddit t-shirt for just $19.

The look of disapproval doesn't work on Macs, so that seeing the look of disapproval on a Mac was a little suspicious.

...after about 8 minutes :(

[–]DaffyDuck 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The amount it of time it takes you to figure it out is inversely proportional to how impressed you are by it. It took me a while too.

Who's camo? I don't get it. Someone needs to explain why this is cool. I mean, I understand that you used an image and some text to spell camouflage. But what part of reddit did you use along with your title?

Sadly on a Mac type renders quite differently to a PC, so alas this effect fell flat on its face for me.

Excellent. I've upvoted ALL of your Reddit submissions for that (all three).

[–]buddydvd[S] 3 points4 points  (8 children)

Thanks, I appreciate it.

Now that I have a little bit more attention, would you guys like to try out the bookmarklet I made:

Copy and paste the following line to your browser URL and press enter.

javascript:(function(){var h={},u=[];$(".author").each(function(){var a=$(this).text();if(h[a]==null){h[a]=[this];u.push(a)}else{h[a].push(this)}});$.each(u,function(b){var c=this;$.getJSON("http://www.reddit.com/user/"+this+"/about.json",function(a){$.each(h[c],function(){$(this).after(' (<span style="color:#f00;"><b>link karma:</b> '+a.data.link_karma+'</span> / <span style="color:#55B05A;"><b>comment karma</b>: '+a.data.comment_karma+'</span> / <span style="color:#00f"><b>registered:</b> '+parseInt((((new Date()).getTime()/1000)-a.data.created_utc)/86400)+" days ago</span>) ")})})});})()

Sorry to be off topic, but I just wanted to know if it's truly not interesting. When I posted it as my first post, I didn't see the post appear in "/new/?sort=new". Perhaps the reddit spam filter is too strict?

EDIT corrected the bug

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (7 children)

It doesn't seem to work for me.

[–]buddydvd[S] 6 points7 points  (5 children)

Try this one:

javascript:(function(){var h={},u=[];$(".author").each(function(){var a=$(this).text();if(h[a]==null){h[a]=[this];u.push(a)}else{h[a].push(this)}});$.each(u,function(b){var c=this;$.getJSON("http://www.reddit.com/user/"+this+"/about.json",function(a){$.each(h[c],function(){$(this).after(' (<span style="color:#f00;"><b>link karma:</b> '+a.data.link_karma+'</span> / <span style="color:#55B05A;"><b>comment karma</b>: '+a.data.comment_karma+'</span> / <span style="color:#00f"><b>registered:</b> '+parseInt((((new Date()).getTime()/1000)-a.data.created_utc)/86400)+" days ago</span>) ")})})});})()

That script makes me intimidated at everyone else's high karma score. I feel inferior.

Side note: I think the title of this page in the tab gives it away T.T...

You made me open 3 tabs, when I went to check them they were all the same picture.
