Reddit is so predictable. EVERY comment is about spelling and nothing about the actual picture and the phenomenon. After two or three spelling comments, what was everyone else hoping to achieve by regurgitating the same comment? Do these sheep not feel any kind of awkwardness by being repetitive and boring? "My identical comment is going to be much more funny that the other hundred already posted!"

You have predictably not addressed the topic.

The irony is palpable

Very funny. 😆

Remember that the bots are hardcoded to be confrontational to incite arguments and drive engagement.

I’m starting to add an unrelated section to my posts that is bot bait. I’ve had people reply “I have over 30 years experience doing x” and then suddenly delete their comments because of it.

Which is why I don’t need any baking advice.

u/kitliasteele 13h ago

I have a few months of baking experience with chicken, that's why you should rotate the flour every fifteen minutes for optimal flavour during baking! /s

u/VitaminPb 13h ago

I’ve never done x. I would like to have 30 years experience doing it. But I know you must be doing it wrong anyway.

u/xiviajikx 12h ago

I’ve started to think the confrontational and literal aspect of this site is driven by bots to cause people to argue over minute details in order to train more AI.

I also think there are a just a bunch of narcissistic keyboard warriors too. It’s funny when people tell you they know more about your problems cause they did a google search than you do even though you experience it daily.

u/TheSleepyBarnOwl 6h ago

Are you sure tho? You look like you could need baking advice! Not from me though, I barely know how to spell

u/NineClaws 14h ago

Absolutely Nothing in the world gets people harder than a chance to point out an error in a social media post. Even if there are already a thousand comments pointing out the error, it’s flies on shit.

2

u/MaximusHomerdrive 9h ago

I'm convinced people submit posts with intentional typos just so it gets attention.

1

u/BoSocks91 7h ago

Or they’ll censor a random word.

Sad what people will do for engagement.

u/ToldUtheyRComing 13h ago

I don't even think people even consider that someone else noticed it and already commented on it. Which means they think they've discovered something amazing and are the smartest person in the room. I can imagine someone salivating and sweating while trying to type a condescending comment as fast as possible through their trembling hands. Slamming their phone on the table while unleashing a villainous laugh and screaming, "IMBECILES!" at their kitchen ceiling. Foaming at the mouth from the satisfaction of essentially saving humanity, their blissful moment of ecstacy is interrupted by a violent itch growing in the depths of their butt crevice, and they give in. Whole time, their partner is in the other room on r/hygiene asking if other ppl wash their ass with soap daily and how to tell their partner of 6 years that it smells like a wet towel that's been soaking in old hot dog water for a week every time they even think about being intimate?

u/NineClaws 13h ago

If pointing out an error on a post is the best to happen to you all day, your life sucks. Think about it.

0

u/musclecard54 14h ago

That’s only the nerds of Reddit though. Other social
Media platforms suck in different ways, but the people who have never touched another human intimately that correct spelling and grammar (ALSO including the people that upvote these corrections) are just a Reddit thing

-1

u/Kradgger 13h ago

The only thing that comes close is pointing out people pointing out spelling errors

2

u/Megatippa 13h ago

Let me be the one to point out that you are pointing out people pointing out people pointing out spelling errors.

u/NineClaws 12h ago

The homunculus fallacy?

u/Individual-Fail4709 9h ago

Nah, we just think it's funny.

u/MayorWolf 14h ago

Yours is about the spelling too.

Be the change you want to see in the world.

22

u/Sherry_Brandt 14h ago

no it's not, it's about the conversation.

communication vs metacommunication.

they're different, and it's useful to know about the difference.

2

u/Corona21 13h ago

And this is about the metametacommunication

6

u/Wikidclowne 13h ago

But it's also nothing about the picture and the phenomenon.

5

u/zel1 11h ago

i don't think the point was that it has to be about the picture, but rather the redundancy of commenting on something not related to the picture repeatedly

-4

u/MayorWolf 14h ago

"it's about the conversation" is what the spelling comments are too. so it's meta metacommunication?

u/HispanicAtTheDisko 13h ago

You're trying. Failing, but trying nonetheless.

u/HispanicAtTheDisko 7h ago

Another swing and a miss

u/jakethabake 3h ago

Guys like him are also a big problem. Everything has to turn into a long argument.

-3

u/RChickenMan 13h ago

Sure, but the whole "everyone but me is a sheep" thing is extremely over-played on reddit just the same.

u/Water_ZoneV 14h ago edited 13h ago

“Hey guys can we pretty please with a cherry on top stop talking about A?”

*points finger”

“bUt YoU’rE tAlKiNg AbOuT A”

-3

u/MayorWolf 14h ago

"can we please" is kind of a huge characterization of what was said, aint it?

3

u/Water_ZoneV 13h ago

You’re absolutely right let me change my comment

1

u/MayorWolf 13h ago

Ahh i see. So you're just a shit disturber too. Not very polite. Kind of passive aggressive.

Your mother could use some notes on how to raise a child.

2

u/haiimroo 14h ago

Ah these are the reddit comments I remember being at the top

2

u/koala_encephalopathy 13h ago

This is dallwd a fall-streak cloud or a punch hole cloud. They are rare.

2

u/Hot_Parfait_8901 11h ago

The reddit comedians are a special breed of annoying people

2

u/youarenut 10h ago

It’s a mix of half of them being bots, half being losers who think the same dumb shit is funny. Trust I’ve met them in real life too they talk like bots irl. Coming from me who’s on Reddit daily lol

3

u/Rohan_Marathe 13h ago

I miss the days before the internet boom when every person was unique and had differing personalities.

Right now everyone is trying to be funny. Doesnt matter what the subject of the post is. As you said they will reply with the same joke no matter how many times it has been repeated.

People are chasing things like - first comment on a popular channel, most liked comment, top comment, etc.

2

u/JanSobieski-III 13h ago

There is no excuse for spelling like that it should always be called out.

1

u/bleu_waffl3s 13h ago

It’s so wierd

1

u/-voice_of_reason 11h ago

The real question in my mind is whether they read all the similar comments and decide to post anyway or just shit out there thoughts with no regard to whatever replies have said before them

1

u/CoupleScrewsLoose 10h ago

the OP is a repost bot that steals content and purposefully misspells the title to drive more engagement. works like a charm because most people don’t possess critical thinking capabilities.

1

u/Cotif11 10h ago

It's never a real accidental misspelling either, always some autocorrect failure. I hardly ever see people correct "from the get go" to "from the git go" for example. People are so pretentious.

1

u/dandatu 9h ago

i dont think most people read comments before they comment lol

1

u/chewbaccataco 9h ago

I think a lot of people don't look before they comment, or at least even glance at the number of comments already posted to realize they aren't about to say something unique.

1

u/HippyHopHopHop 9h ago

No Reddit logic dictates that these clouds means you should divorce your partner

1

u/PacketSnatcher 8h ago

Reddit is filled with the most insufferable people ever. They love to hop on every opportunity to seem smarter than somebody else. They really really love correcting people. Gets them off.

u/Lopoloma 7h ago

Maybe it's not a typo, maybe it's mayb... ... ...cloud fishing.

u/dodgyhashbrown 7h ago

And by the time I found the post, the top comment was this meta comment lamenting the state of reddit.

u/RedLotus74 6h ago

reddit in a nutshell

1

u/Latoni64 6h ago

Reddit is so predictable. EVERY comment is about spelling and there's always the one comment calling them all out without having anything to do with the post. Does this sheep think he sawed the hole in the clouds? /s

u/redcon-1 6h ago

"haha I defeated somebody because they failed to press two buttons in the correct order"

Fucking monkeys teasing chimps bro.

What a typical third-most-upvoted comment thing to say omg smh embarrassing
/s

u/MtMan65 3h ago

I don’t read the comments, usually. I read yours because it’s directly under the comment I posted about his illiterate comment. He spelled the word correctly, it’s just the wrong word.

1

u/jaymole 2h ago

I seent it

1

u/limitsurpassed 1h ago

Sawed tho… the word is getting dumber.

u/ResolveConfident3522 1h ago

I see nothing rong with the spelling

u/Sanchastayswoke 1h ago

Not everyone reads all of the comments before responding

u/Kifferasiate 36m ago

Also the people making fun of him are probably Americans who can barely speak there own language, while English obviously isn’t OP’s first language.

1

u/LateDxOldLady 14h ago

It's not a spelling error.

u/TheIrv87 14h ago

If you're correcting people's grammar on reddit I automatically think youre a douchebag.

u/NewsofPE 10h ago

you're*

u/oli_ramsay 14h ago

But your comment isn't about the picture or the actual phenomenon either

u/akira1310 13h ago

So predictable. Well done.

u/Life-Landscape5689 14h ago

We just sawed a mistook and had to tell him

u/JacksGallbladder 13h ago

Do these sheep not feel any kind of awkwardness by being repetitive and boring? "My identical comment is going to be much more funny that the other hundred already posted!"

You've done the same thing here, playing philisophical curiosity to insult a behavior at the surface level lol.

No one feels awkward typing a comment on reddit. No one feels repetitive or boring. This isnt a social situation. Most people on reddit are just shouting into the void because its a dopamine hit. Myself included.

1

u/Benana 13h ago edited 8h ago

But perhaps OP didn’t mistype and what they meant was they sawed an actual hole in the clouds. They used a saw to cut a hole in the clouds.

1

u/Shronkydonk 12h ago

This isn’t even an original picture either. 12k upvotes and a few hundred comments, the bait clearly works.

0

u/Mixedbysaint 13h ago

Yeah, pretty bad spelling though

0

u/weirdcatlady43 13h ago

But your comment is also about grammar and not the post!

u/scottrycroft 13h ago

Reddit is so predictable that the top comment is complaining about other comments.

u/neverendingsorrow99 14h ago

Wow you’re different😍

u/Old-Cry8426 13h ago

Most people here are most likely kids or teens and you just threw a tantrum about it.

0

u/alexds1 13h ago

90% of this site is low effort jokes, pop culture references and bot activity. Unfortunately the last 10% is crowdsourced information the rest of the internet is unable to provide, sigh.

u/Impressive_Pin8761 12h ago

this thing is an 8 year old repost, there's no point discussing any of this

u/mkp666 11h ago

Oh, the irony…

u/Strattex 13h ago

Lmao what are you on about. The only comment about spelling is yours.

u/atmoose 14h ago

Sheep aren't sentient, so no.

u/MayorWolf 14h ago

define sentience in a way that excludes sheep

0

u/atmoose 13h ago

Sentience is the ability to not think like a sheep. You can think like a goat or a cat or cow, but not like a sheep.

u/MayorWolf 13h ago

cop out answer to be honest. It doesn't pass the bar.

u/atmoose 13h ago

You don't have to rub it in my face. I was never able to pass the bar so I can never fulfill my dream of becoming a cop

u/NewsofPE 10h ago

because english speaking people's vocabulary is failing so hard we'd rather it not be a problem?
