I came here expecting a repost of the Darth Vader condom, which will "stay in its original packaging" because (of course) guy who like Star Wars will never have sex.

Am I right?

Yes you are correct, but how do we know you didn't look?

Trust in my honor, I guess.

But you're just a Muppet. LET ME SPEAK TO THE HAND THAT CONTROLS YOU.

I'm always made sad when people don't get the reference.

[–]Galphanore 4 points5 points ago

I actually just finished reading Blood Rites. Before today I wouldn't have gotten the reference.

It amazes me how few people have read such a fantastic series

[–]Galphanore 1 point2 points ago

It's taken me two weeks to get through the first six books, I have the rest waiting on my kindle for me right now.

The next 7 go even more quickly. After Blood Rites the series really takes off. A word of warning: have a copy of Ghost Story on hand for when you finish Changes, or you will be angry with yourself. Also note that the mini summaries on the covers usually contain lots of spoilers if you haven't read the previous book(s).

Thanks for the warning but I'm reading the Collection on my kindle, so all I have to do to go from the last page of Ghost Story to the first page of Changes is turn the page, and for the same reason I don't see the mini summaries.

Get used to disappointment. (But will somebody get my reference?)

It's only from one of the more popular films on Reddit, so I'm going to head out on this limb here and say that, yes, we will get it..

I want a video of your monitor while we see you open up your browser and then we'll look at your browser history. We will see that between the time you posted your comment and the time since this was posted if you did or did not look at the certain imgur link. That'd be a way to prove it, but I trust you.

[–]BolshevikMuppet 2 points3 points ago

I... Don't really want to show you my browser history.

For entirely unrelated reasons...*

If it stays in the package doesn't it defeat the purpose of the "i'm not your father"?

I have a feeling it will be staying in the package, and not just for sentimental value :)

This is becoming the most reposted pic of Reddit. Stop reposting it.

[–]rboyce 3 points4 points ago

Sorry for being a bad redditor, but I haven't seen this in 4+ years on this site.

[–]sevwolf11 12 points13 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

this may be reposted, but persons like me have not seen it, so stop yer gripeing and let those who have not seen this see this :P

[–]zck 10 points11 points ago

New people come to reddit every day. The front page could be static, and still the content would be new to some. Maybe you missed out on it last time it was posted. Maybe you missed out on it the last seven times it was posted. Maybe everyone on earth but you has seen it. Saying "I haven't seen it, so reposts are ok" is not an argument for reposts. There's obviously a limit to how often something should be reposted. Discusson about what that limit is is valid; a blanket "all reposts are ok" is not helpful.

[–]firelion 0 points1 point ago

or you could just hit the down arrow and hide button on the post and be done with it.

[–]ffn 1 point2 points ago

Reddit works on a voting system. If the content is deemed fresh and/or appealing by the majority, then it will rise to the top, regardless of the few who dislike it for being a repost, etc.

[–]Cadoc 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

That system is flawed because many, many more people upvote than downvote. That's why you see so much poor content, including ancient reposts, on the front page.

It was on the front page Monday...

[–]Vonauda 6 points7 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Was it in r/geek? If not, I wouldn't have seen it as I have unsubscribed from all the default subreddits to avoid the dribble of liveblogging/uninteresting posts.

[–]brumbrum21 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Yea I feel that. Especially when people double post to r/funny and r/pics for maximum karma whoring

[–]m1ss1ontomars2k4 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I feel the pic itself isn't the point of the post; it's the caption.

Reddiquette

Please don't complain about reposts. Just because you have seen it before doesn't mean everyone has. Votes indicate the popularity of a post, so just vote. Keep in mind that linking to previous posts is not automatically a complaint; it is information. Votes indicate how the community values information, so just vote.

[–]keepinithamsta 3 points4 points ago

Reddiquette

Please don't: Complain about complaints about reposts. If a repost-complaint is an annoyance, a debate over the matter is an even greater one, so just vote.

Reddiquette

Complain about complaints about complaints about reposts. If a repost-complaint complaint is a greater annoyance than a repost-complaint, a debate over a debate over the matter is an even greater one than a mere complaint about a repost complaint, so just vote.

[–]r2002[S] -3 points-2 points ago

I wasn't complaining.

Keep in mind that linking to previous posts is not automatically a complaint; it is information

Pointing links to information is not automatically a complaint.

And if I am complaining about complaints, then you are complaining about complaints about complaints.

[–]wes00mertes 2 points3 points ago

Wow, valid linking of the reddiquette guide? Downvotes.

Defending yourself when people say you are complaining? Downvotes.

Sorry r2002. :(

Ha ha no worries. Thanks for the kind comment. I try to remember that maybe some folks are just having a bad day. BTW your comment reminds me of this video.

[–]snerra 2 points3 points ago

Hey bro tilts shades, gives a "gangsta" nod I heard you like to complain, so I've got some complaints for your complaints so you can complain while you're complaining.

[–]keepinithamsta 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Seriously, bro, stop complaining about complaints about complaints about reposts.

I'll have a come back as soon as I learn how to do exponential super script on Reddit formatting. STAY TUNED!

Reposts are usually boring but in this case your title made it LOLable again. Well done.
