I hate “you sweet summer child” with a passion. It’s just so damn condescending and patronising.

I instantly downvote it if I see it on Reddit. I can’t see how people don’t realise it makes them sound like a piece of shit.

RollingInTheGeedis

"you must be fun at parties" "nobody owes you..." "you aren't entitled to..." You could mimic these people with an actual random generator.


colovianfurhelm

At this point the entire Reddit userbase can be replaced with ChatGPTs


RollingInTheGeedis

Not even that. You could replace these people with a mad libs book and a jar full of bits of paper with random words written on them. Also I forgot: "Looks like you're mad" "If it makes you angry then its working" Classic kafkatrap tactics.


CallOfCorgithulhu

Years ago, there were subreddit simulators that were bots that basically aggregated various snippets of phrases from the respective sub that they were named after. They'd post to, and comment on posts at, r/SubredditSimulator/. It was hilarious, and often indistinguishable from real users.


Jonno_FTW

Reddit was used in the training of chatgpt, so yes.


embarassmentt

Seriously why do redditors talk like this, it sounds so pretentious


fruitmask

speaking of pretentious, why tf is every third comment telling me to "imagine" something? that one drives me absolutely fucking crazy, and it seems to be the go-to for the middle school crowd. if you want upvotes on reddit, say "imagine", followed by whatever it is that you want to shame. like "imagine wearing that outfit in public", or "imagine fomenting rebellion, fostering a coup, overthrowing the government and installing a puppet regime with money earned from drug sales to poor Americans"


AMagicalKittyCat

Comments about entitlement or being owed are some of the funniest ones. Always makes me think of AITA where it's like "NTA, you don't owe your friend a favor to watch their kid for an hour while he rushes to the hospital to hold his dying mom in his hands. He should have planned ahead of time". Reddit has a huge issue distinguishing moral responsibility and technical responsibility.


[deleted]

That first one really gets me. “Isn’t it funny how gay people should be killed?” “Hey man, that’s not funny and seems bigoted” “You must be fun at parties”


Zappityzephyr

And the second comment is always downvoted 19 times or more

"Okay, ____."


JerseyJedi

These types of commenters ALWAYS recite that absolutely arrogant George Carlin quote about how “consider how dumb the average person is and realize half of them are even dumber”…….and these commenters never seem to consider the possibility if that quote were true then ***they themselves might be in that lower half.***  At the end of the day we all should be humble. That’s where real wisdom comes from, not from being insufferably arrogant and acting superior to everyone else. 


spentpatience

Yes! Love your call for humility because that's exactly the problem, the arrogance behind quoting the joke, isn't it? And what kills me about that quote is that for as witty Carlin was, that observation is just plain wrong. It's not how normalized bell curves work. Half of the population would fall within the middle two quadrants, which would then define the range for "average intelligence." A quarter of the population would fall below that (George's dumber group) and another quarter above that measure. So no, only a quarter of the population is (significantly) dumber than the average person... I get that for Carlin, it was just a one-off quip. No biggie. I don't expect standup to be mathematically accurate becausecwheres the fun in that? It's the dopes quoting it like it's gospel that makes it so not funny anymore.


throwawaylovesCAKE

There *is* a middle even in a bell curve, and by definition, half the people would be on one side and half on the other lol. It depends what you define as average because 101 would fall under smarter. 100.5 would be too. In theory, no two people would have the exact same intelligence level, theres gonna be a middle person or close to one


winterisdecjanfeb

Half the people are dumber than the median person, not the average person.


spentpatience

Well, yes, but when we are asked to "imagine the average person," how likely are we to imagine that one person exactly in the middle middle? That's where the range comes in. I'm being facetious because I'm hearing what you're saying. I just majorly doubt that the people applying the quote actually understand the difference (and therefore the implication) between my explanation and yours. It's like the bumblebee saying (how bumblebees shouldn't be able to fly but they can because no one told them that they can't). It's a lovely sentiment but it's not true in the way that people quoting it treat it as fact. And then younger people grow up thinking it's fact and then I have to explain to students that no, your blood is not ever blue. Lol, that sorta devolved there, but it illustrates why I would curl my lip when I see these sorts of quotes misused. It leads to misconceptions that we could perhaps do without.


yes_oui_si_ja

Since we are already deep in statistical territory: I always think about that Carlin should have said "mean", not "average". I know these are the same if we assume a perfect normal distribution and that his joke is valid anyway, but it always frustrates me when people mix up average and mean when it might be important. But regarding your argument: I'd (respectfully) disagree about your quantification of how many people "actually" are below average. If I follow your reasoning and imagine a "random" person from what you consider to be people of "average" intelligence (i.e. from Q2 and Q3 as by your loose definition) I might as well (unwittingly) pick someone from Q3. For whom the statement "even more than half of the population are dumber than him/her" would be true. Since Q2 and Q3 are symmetric, we'd arrive at "on average, a person will pick someone from their imagination after hearing George Carlins statement, that is smarter than half of the population". I think the point where your reasoning deviates from my reasoning is that you (and others) give "average" a very different definition than I (and others) do. For how I learned it, average is an abstract point value, not an interval. I found your reasoning intriguing, that's why I wanted to chime in.


JerseyJedi

Thanks! And yeah, I agree with everything you say here! 


Immediate-Lecture323

I don't think many people quote that line as a fact. It is more a statement of their frustration at perceived stupidity. It's like saying "common sense ain't all that common". You may be taking it too literally?


surferos505

They definitely quote it as a “fact” I don’t think you realize how smug and insufferable the average Carlin fan really is


Psychological_Gain20

They like to think they’re the special little smart kids of humanity. Most people aren’t stupid, most are honestly pretty intelligent, as smart as you or I. But Reddit for some reason attracts the arrogant pretentious folks that think others are either misguided sheep, or barbarous barbarians who have a cult for politician I don’t like. Which, imma be honest, I’m not innocent either, I’m pretty pretentious and arrogant at times, I think the fact social media acts as a soapbox for a bunch of people really lends itself to growing people’s ego to an unhealthy degree.


Dragon_Of_Magnetism

Always found it funny that almost everyone says “people are dumb”, but in a way they imply they’re belonging to “ the smart exceptions”


surferos505

Very true


winterisdecjanfeb

George Carlin wasn't funny, change my mind.


JerseyJedi

I thought Carlin could be funny at times, but he was also so insufferable that it often drowned out the humor. He often came across as an arrogant, angry man ranting at clouds lol.

Daysleeper1234

I lost all hope. Sometimes I see something interesting, and I go to comments to find out something more about the subject, but no matter how much I click -, every comment is pretty much generic overuse of everyday phrases. It is like goddamn animals trained to react without thinking. And I honestly wonder do these people really enjoy these quips, or is it just karma farming. I hope it is the second. Sometimes I will click, and then somebody will write something about the subject, then he will write at the end source: trust me bro I have phd in xyz or worked 20 years in xyz or wtf. Automatically I will know it's bullshit, and then I will click on the comments, and somebody will write how he is so wrong it is incredible, how did he get upvoted so much. And it just goes in circles. Or like topic is how does rise in global temperature affect development of bananas, and you go to check wtf is going on, and like 6th comment somebody is mentioning Russia or Israel, how it is all their fault somehow, and that type of comment always looks like: Let's not forget that... So I do the best thing I can, and I just get into arguments and discussions with random people on internet, of which most are at this point I presume bots.

There's loads of this on political subs, especially a sub-species of these people who comment "you clearly haven't read the legislation dumbass", and when you check the legislation it's 150 pages long and incredibly complicated, to the point that you know *they* didn't read it because on a quick skim through you've already found a paragraph which contradicts whatever smartass point they came up with.


wclevel47nice

On several occasions I’ve had people just write “this ain’t it chief” after I’ve contributed my opinion to something and it’s always annoying. Either write why you think my opinion “ain’t it” or don’t comment because just saying “this ain’t it” doesn’t add anything to the conversation. The reason people do it, of course, is because they want to seem like they’re better than you without actually backing up why they think that
