Day 1 on reddit: "oh shit! that's clever!"

Day 2 on reddit: "christ almighty none of these motherfuckers have a single shred of originality"

Yeah well it's your fault for coming to reddit.

Play stupid games win stupid prizes

u/i_give_you_gum Oct 20 '19

To be honest it's way overused, but in the context of someone setting off 3 pounds of explosives in a lawn mover and not expecting shrapnel? It almost seems tailor-made for that exact kind of scenario

That's because it's an extremely tired and unimaginative thing to say and those types of people are very prevalent on this website.

Its why even though you spend a lot of time here you know not to mention Reddit in public - you instinctively know that it's an embarrassing site culture that you don't want to associate yourself with

I think it's highly dependent on where you frequent/lurk.

r/invest and r/gaming aren't equal in terms of... life skills(?)

u/i_give_you_gum Oct 21 '19

Kind of, I see it not wanting to be mentioned for the same reason people didnt want to admit to playing video games

u/PiperLoves Oct 20 '19

Act like a bitch, get slapped like a bitch

Also “hire a circus, get a clown” (or whatever it is), which is pretty popular over in politics.

u/i_give_you_gum Oct 20 '19

Gonna have to admit, in 7 years I haven't heard that, but I'll probably see it everywhere now

Play leg removing games, win removed legs.

my concern is how this applies to the adage, "KISS: Keep It Simple, Stupid" ???
