The site's name is Mount Wingen but is commonly called Burning Mountain and the fire is traveling south 1m per year discoloring the ground as it goes. by jamescookenotthatone
Ask a tween how old a boomer is…
Ask a twink how moldy my bloomers are.
How is it possible that you have 2 million comment karma?
The same way you get to Carnegie Hall.
Mapquest.
But what about Carnegie Mellon?
Their acceptance rate is about 14%, same as my Reddit comments. You don't get to 2 million karma without taking countless thousands of downvotes.
Quantity over quality.
Quality is an oddly subjective thing. The vast majority of my most-upvoted shit is just sorta meh, whereas there are some absolute gems out there that land with a resounding thud and die with three upvotes. I click save on them all the same so I can go back and giggle when I'm bored and/or sad Landlubber.
Sooo quantity then?
Depends on who you ask I guess. I encourage anyone to get out there and try to throw endless comments out and see if it gets you to 2 million. There's some dude out there with like 20-something million comment karma, he's probably the one to ask. I used to be 50th on Earth, now I'm barely scraping top-100. I got banned from my main karma sub six years ago, now I just grab a bit here and there.
Amazing use of your free time. I wish I had such low standards. I’m rich, but sad. I envy your meaningless karma.
Oh I suspect you're mocking me. Here's a shiny. Cheer up.
Actually, I was just being a clown. It wasn’t a serious comment.
